Shivangi S.

Went to Houndstooth this Friday for wfc! And it turned into a great surprise. Got a lavender latte which was smooth, lightly floral, really well balanced. Also picked up a tall buckwheat-based muffin after chatting with the barista (was hesitant at first), but wow! it was amazing. Perfect sweetness, super soft, and honestly better than a lot of regular flour bakery stuff. Definitely coming back for that again.

Soy milk latte

Houndstooth is in all likelihood the best coffee shop at the Domain. Specializing in high quality beans and offering a rotating selection of single origin espresso, the baristas working there are usually knowledgeable and, so far, after several years visiting, have never messed up a coffee order of mine. The overall ambiance is casual and the staff is a special kind of blasé hipster you almost exclusively find working in third wave coffee shops. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because you can usually count on these individuals to do their job well. Just don't expect too much enthusiasm and you won't be disappointed. The location on Rock Rose Ave is convenient and the shop stays open a bit later than some other businesses around. Kudos. The only thing missing to Houndstooth is a soul. It could be more cozy and welcoming. But if you're just going for the coffee, it's great.

Matcha latte, tea set
Grace D.

I've come a couple times with friends to study/hang out. It's not terribly busy on the weekends, especially if you come early around 9am. Their menu looks pretty solid but I've only had their matcha latte and it hits the spot. The default is unsweetened but you can ask for honey/sugar and the latte comes out warm. If you like your drinks hot, def let your barista know.

Chocolate chai oat latte
Desiree A.

I met a new friend here and absolutely loved it. My chocolate chai latte was made to perfection and incredible! Probably my favorite in Austin tied with Patika. The bean n cheese taco I ordered also hit the spot and was from Taco Deli. Highly recommend that too. The baristas were nice and answered my friends questions. The atmosphere was chill with a mix of college aged and CEO type folks. I'll be back for sure!

The good: really good coffee. I tried the coffee and lemonade combination and it tasted pretty good, I don't think there's a place that can pull off this combo well The bad: The wifi, even when connected, was so slow that I had to use the internet from the Sweetgreen next door. Also, all of the charging ports were for USB outlets, which meant I couldn't charge my laptop while working.

Matcha latte with some vanilla syrup
Ximena S.

We had a matcha latte and an americano (time piece blend). I was surprised on how fast both drinks were made, which made me a bit doubtful about their quality. The matcha was OK, nothing different from any other place. The americano was smooth but the water added was too hot, had to ask for ice to bring it to drinking temperature. Service was polite but my daughter saw the barista pull something out of his teeth with his fingers right before making my coffee ... The space is small, modern and quiet enough for study or to have a conversation.

I came here with a friend while in Austin. We were in Domin, looked for local coffee places and found this one. Super cute and cozy! Coffee was really good. Service was also great! I highly recommend it

I work around the area, but I rarely come to Houndstooth because I love trying new coffee places. My boyfriend and I stopped by before my work to grab a coffee, and I was really impressed with their classic iced vanilla latte. The flavor was perfect, and it was just as creamy as I typically prefer it. I will definitely keep Houndstooth in mind the next time I'm in need of caffeine and at the Domain. Their staff is really friendly too, and I ADORE their chocolate chip cookies with sea salt.

Seating Area
Kristen N.

I ordered the cold brew and thought it was just okay! The seating area wasn't very comfortable - most tables were high-tops or wooden benches. It's an easy stop if you're in the Domain already but would not consider this a destination.

I adore Houndstooth! Whenever I'm in the domain and need a pick me up, their coffee is always consistently good and well made. The setting is very cute and there are some tables to lounge around in if you need to rest or study for some time. The staff has always been friendly to me, and is very helpful and accommodating. Reliable spot to go if you're in need of caffeine!

Interior

Stopped by Houndstooth for morning cups of coffee. We ordered a Chai and Lavender Oat Milk Latte, both hot. We were greeted upon entering and had our orders taken right away. I went with the lavender oat milk latte that many people have raved about in their reviews. My person ordered a chai latte. Both drinks were hot and delicious. Houndstooth is definitely a place I'd stop by again. It's very spacious inside and the vibe is chill, eclectic, and minimal if that paints a picture in your head. They have variety of mugs, and other cups available for sale. And parking is alongside the street, there is a parking garage within The Domain. When it's nice out I'd recommend walking around and exploring the area. ~THE PATTERN OF COFFEE AND PEOPLE~

Another Domain coffee stop, but, this one has a trick to play as it doubles as a bar with a full shelf and a selection of canned craft beers. I was very happy with the service, the barista shared some suggestions with me as well as informed me that if I return to buy a second bag of beans there is a discount on an iced coffee. Impeccably clean inside. Very modern and catering to the tech crowd with plenty of charging points. Coffee was delicious and not overpriced, about $6. Beans however are an investment. I paid $33 after tax (before tip) for my drink and 12 oz of beans.

Cappuccino
Anthony M.

Found this place on Yelp after our group tennis outing got rained out. Great coffee shop at The Domain. They handled our squad of 20 tennis players with ease, and the cappuccino was phenomenal.

Service is really good. I typically go there to work remotely for a change of scenery. However, the coffee is overpriced

The restaurant is located on Rock Rose Avenue and filled with so many delectable treats. The pastry case will make you weak at the knees. The pastries range from buttery croissants and cinnamon rolls to colorful macarons, fruit tarts, and canelés. The pastries definitely capture your attention. They also sell breakfast sandwiches, quiche Lorraine, along with other breakfast and brunch items. Bakery Lorraine offers a full espresso bar with an assortment of coffee drinks, lattes, and seasonal specials. We ordered coffee and a pastry. Both were delicious. The location and atmosphere are an enticement to dine at Bakery Lorraine. The restaurant has floor to ceiling windows with an abundance of greenery inside. It feels a bit like a modern rain forest. There is an abundance of seating both indoors and outdoors. You can meet a colleague like me, enjoy a coffee with a friend or family member. Free parking in a nearby parking garage or on the street makes a Bakery Lorraine visit very convenient. Service was quick and efficient. My latte did not have enough lavender syrup and my barista gladly added more. Great breakfast spot...

The muffin was dry, cold and when I attempted to break off pieces of it to eat it just crumbled in my hands. The taste was that of dry day, old bread, without much flavor. My coffee was a disappointment, as well Although I ordered my latte, hot and specifically asked for no foam, neither request was really honored The coffee was lukewarm and you may be able to tell by the picture there was quite a bit of foam, Plus left a good amount of space between where the drink ended with the foam and the top. Service was friendly and welcoming My first visit was much better, so I will give them at least one more try, but with as expensive as lattes are these days I wish barista's paid more attention to the details It sure is a factor in determining where I want to go for my latte fix.
