I love trying local coffee shops & houndstooth is right across from my kids' school, so it's been staring me in the face for a few years. It's a shame I haven't been sooner! My dirty matcha with lavender couldn't be more perfect! & the space is much larger than I expected l! The baristas were super friendly, so the service gets 5 stars too. I'll be back tomorrow & now have a new spot to post up & get work done! read more

Houndstooth Coffee - Outside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Coffee julep was so refreshing and good! It was a shaken iced coffee and unsure if it was supposed to have minty flavor. I didn't taste any. It was still good though and refreshing during this awful heat read more

I feel like the reviews below are misleading......The drip coffee I got was good but every coffee shop needs amble plugs for laptop users. As I sit here, I counted 8 people using a laptop yet there's only one outlet in the entire shop - at worst in a corner?? Jeeze......Not a good place if you're working out of office or your home. This is probably a more ideal place for talking, not working. I did find it to be extremely cold inside too. There are no sugar free options for those looking to cut back in the new year. I had to resort to straight black coffee read more

I would give zero stars if I could. Ordered an iced vanilla latte. I had high hopes given some of the other reviews, but the coffee tastes bland and watered down. I took two sips and ended up throwing it away... read more

Staff is super friendly & helpful. Being honest not much of a coffee drinker but the espresso was a little bitter for my taste. The main attraction is the taco deli breakfast tacos in my opinion but be warned, houndstooth will up charge you!! IE papas, egg & cheese at the restaurant is only 2.75ish but at houndstooth it will cost you 5.50ish. I understand they have to make a little money for the service but up charging 2x is unreasonable. read more

Little hole in the wall coffee shop. Came here for coffee with the wife because I saw they did it right in the pics by serving their doppio with sparkling water. Most coffee shops in the area don't and they want you to buy a bottle of sparkling water,.... no no no guys, the proper way to serve a doppio is with sparkling water to clear the palate. I get tickled when I ask the cashier at a coffee shop for a doppio and they don't know what it is, it happens more than you think. My latte was good, doppio was good and we got this refreshing mint coffee drink that was good too. The service was good too. Ty guys, till next time. IG: kaliking806 #ViBN read more

The baristas were really nice and the coffee was good! The dark lighting made the vibes feel like a hole in the wall neighborhood place where they would quickly know your order and name which I liked a lot. $8 for the regular size seemed a little much to me but was still really good. They make their own syrups from scratch which I really appreciated too! read more

Houndstooth Coffee - Iced lavender oat milk latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great place to get work done. The environment is quiet but not silent, people are friendly, bathrooms are clean, and coffee is A+. I got a cold brew, and it was perfect. I love their beans, and will definitely come back to try more. read more

Good coffee with a super cool vibe for ambiance. Great outdoor space for studying and working. Service was social and effective.

I spent a lot of time in coffee shops I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into the Houndstooth Coffee. I pass by this location all the time. I didn't realize the interior was this large. There were plenty of people working and just enjoying the atmosphere. The menu is short and sweet. I ordered a vanilla latte, with oat milk. It was very delicious. I wanted a croissant, but they didn't have any which I was surprised by because it was very early in the morning. They also have an outdoor patio which is snug but also very cool. overall, this is a nice neighborhood coffee shop. The people their seemed to be locals and had a relationship with the cashier and barista. read more

Heard great things about this coffee shop and they didn't disappoint. Cozy and calm atmosphere. The staff were nice and very knowledgeable. Plenty of space and seating to work or read. I had an iced vanilla latte with a butter croissant. Both were very delicious. I will definitely be back. read more

I really appreciate houndstooth. A lot of my friend avoid 3rd wave or craft coffee spots because they can be a little pretentious or rude if you try to modify your order. Houndstooth makes coffee that can go head to head with any craft coffee bar and they're so kind every time. Maybe it's training or maybe it's culture, but the baristas always make pleasant small talk and are more than happy to modify your order. I get the iced oat cappuccino (which kind of doesn't exist but they humor me anyway ) Big fan. Thanks for being so consistently great! read more

I'm giving a 4 star with a consumer warning. Because the drink was really freaking good. Coffee is great. 10/10 recommend BUT do NOT recommend their "gluten free" items. They are in a shared display case with gluten items and laying on top of each other. There is no possible way to avoid cross contamination. The barista even mentioned that's how the bakery sends them to them. These are NOT gluten free at that point they are just made with different flours. So although I did not try the pastries. I cannot account for how they taste. But I can say do not buy these if you are gluten intolerant or celiac. And do not buy them for your gluten intolerant or celiac loved ones. Coffee is great though and a cute place to hang or have a first intro date on the patio! read more

Houndstooth Coffee - Spooky Latte* - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The coffee here is GOOD and I mean GOOD. I got an iced oat milk latte (my go-to everywhere), and it blew my mind. Can't wait to sample more of the menu! I came on a Sunday and they have breakfast tacos from Taco Deli!! I really only come to coffee shops to study, and for this reason I'm knocking a star. There aren't a lot of plugs, and none of the chairs have backs to them. HOWEVER, if you want to come here to chill with a friend or have a date, it's perfect! Will definitely be back for coffee, but probably not to study! read more

INCREDIBLE COFFEE OMG WHAT. The cappuccino was hella buss'n. Cute but a little stark interior. Barista was super talkative and kind. Felt super genuine. Great coffee spot. read more

I'm not what you might call a coffee aficionado, but the simple cold brew was one of the best I've had. The wifi was plenty quick. However, the real standout was the music selection. No need for headphones here. read more

The cafe has a very low key vibe, it's cozy and has an outdoor seating area as well. They are dog friendly and have a little store in the back for their merch. The barista were very friendly and willing to accommodating. They are willing to chat with you and they remember the regulars well. If you're in the area and want to try out a new coffee place come and visit! read more

This is a down-to-earth, no non-sense coffee shop in uptown Dallas. Don't be tricked by the ordinary looking storefront. The interior gives you a different feel. It's welcoming, warm, and pleasant. In the center are four six-seat wooden community tables. A few stand-alone lone tables on a raised platform on the left side near the entrance. If you like a street view, you can sit at the patio facing Henderson and McMillan Street. I ordered a regular latte with 2% milk. Interestingly, they didn't have 2%. But the barista said he could magically turn 1% and 100% full milk into 2%. He looked professional, so I trusted his words. The latte turned out to be with exactly 2% milk. Unbelievable! Seriously, it was creamy, smooth, and foamy. They also have soy and almond milk. I may try that next time. I'm still scratching my head to understand the intriguing statement "The pattern of coffee and people" on the blank white wall. Maybe if I get enough coffee, I can crack the code. All the patrons were well disciplined and focused on what they were interested in. It's nice place to get some work done or just relax. Just a couple of notes for people planning to stay long. I see only a few power outlets. So if you plan to stay long and need power for your laptop or other electronic devices, you need to be sitting close to those strategic spots. Also, the stools don't have back support, so beware of potential back ache :( read more

Houndstooth Coffee - My latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The warm Southern hospitality was lacking (like a LOT) sad to say I was not feeling this location at all. It all starts with a warm welcome SPECIALLY if you tell them that this is our FIRST time here! Well we kept it cool and placed our order. We ordered 3 breakfast tacos (egg/cheese/papa) and the barista looked at us crazy while saying, " can I take your drink order first?" We explained to her that we like to eat first then cone back and order our drinks. It was the oddest thing she'd heard all day ( lol ) bc she gave us a look. Furthermore, there was a lot of campers working on their laptops and school books so we cornered ourselves by the single table at the back (looks like a barstool) it was short and tiny but we are our tacos. To make things further more unpleasant and uncomfortable, on my first bite I bit an avocado nut that was inside my breakfast taco (yikes!!!) honestly I think I need a good energy cleanse Bc this Dallas Trip has been the WORST! We didn't make a big deal out of it as we had already had a ripple effect while being here. Secondly, the breakfast tacos have potato purée (mashed not traditional breakfast potatoes). Being in the south, we figured it would be the country breakfast potatoes but it was just ok, Taco Cabana serves a more traditional breakfast taco than what we experienced. After a table cleared up, we were able to finish our breakfast tacos by the bar facing the side of the street and looking into a patio style size outdoors patio. Two other people sat by our window (bleachers) and it felt like we were straight up intruding at them bc it felt like they were bothered at my pictures (perhaps thinking I was taking the pics of them). It was like we were in an aquarium looking out thru the glass and they were giving us strange vibes. It's plain too small bc from the looks of it they have a lot of people coming in and out and a lot of collage students camping in. The latte was delicious and their fried cake donuts were bomb too. However, that did not make up for the other inconvenient moments. The one at Central Expressway in Mid Cities is better and nicer. Henderson still needs a lot of cleaning up to do. The alley behind this place reminded me of the old side of San Clemente in California (not a good thing). read more

VEGAN OPTIONS - Yes. Ordered a mocha and a cappuccino, both with oat milk. I would definitely return in the future because the consistency of my drinks were on point and it's a solid choice if I'm the area. read more

Minimalist meets industrial. Cute coffee shop with good coffee. I had an iced latte with honey. I ordered my coffee to go but it seems like a great place to get some work done! read more

cute spot but the cus service is not up to part at all as well as the drinks the latte leaves an after taste not warm and creamy

I've been patiently waiting for this place to open up so I'd have a new writing hole. I'm at 2 Moderna jabs plus a month, so rediscovering the coffee shop experience has been a great joy. Toasted, just around the corner from these guys, has been a great spot to hang out in. Comfy seating, plenty of outlets, friendly staff. I wear my mask when approaching the counter or sitting near a masked person just so others don't have to guess if I'm vaxxed or consuming science-hostile media. There's nothing wrong with the staff at Houndstooth - they seem perfectly friendly. But they're struggling to work with guidelines - and furnishings - that aren't conducive to a pleasant in-shop experience. My heart sank a little when I saw that it was kind of a dark cave with only stools to sit on. It sank more when I saw that there was only one outlet, near a high shelf. When I went to move a taller stool close to the plug-in, I heard "Sir. Sir, we ask that guests don't move the chairs." Got it. Drink your coffee and get the F out. I did the latter, but I wasn't in the mood to drink their cappuccino now, so I can't tell you how it tasted. I'm not going to drop a low-star bomb on them because I think everybody deserves to be cut some slack in this confusing new reality. But my experience there really blew, and I don't see myself going back until they figure out whether they actually want humans inside their building. read more

I've been coming to a few of the houndstooth locations over the years, but I love the atmosphere of this one here off henderson! The coffee is always delicious, the staff is always super nice, and the pastries that they have over the weekend are so good! My husband and I will definitely be back read more

Very impressed with the two people running the place. There was never a break in the line of people coming in yet the wait times were so low. They had a seasonal syrup called spooky spice so I got that in a latte and it was superb. This would be go to coffee shop (if I lived in Dallas) read more

Simple menu. The iced oat milk latte is delicious and they use that good chewing ice. The best part of going to any of the Houndstooth locations is the staff. I've had a pleasant experience at every single one. They are always super kind and make buying a coffee a nice experience. read more

Good coffee, nice little shop. Kind of in a wonky area and inside seating is lacking. The outside sitting is cute but not comfy if you're going to stay a while. read more

Literally just got some coffee here took 2 sips and threw it out! Terrible! It was basically watered down coffee filled with sonic ice!

Houndstooth coffee was a great experience for me and was a good pick-me-up for my afternoon. If I had more time, I would have stuck around the area. read more

Rude staff. Mediocre coffee. Nice design, but not enough to make up for their people issues. Will avoid this place in the future. Do better.

My new favorite place for coffee in this area! So, what makes them any different or stand out from their rival down the street, Mudsmith? First of, not only is their coffee better, they have different roasts that you can choose from everyday. This is the very first for me. Usually you don't get any option when it comes to what kind of roast, or if you do, it's either light or dark roast, and that's it. Not this place. They usually offer about 3 different roasts each day. When it comes to coffee shops (Starbucks don't count), I look at 3 things: the quality of the coffee, the latte art/service (if they don't offer latte art, it's a minus for service in my book lol), and the atmosphere (is it a good spot for people watching or not?). This place got 2.5 out of 3 for me. Their service is excellent. Latte art is nice. They have 2 separate small patio seating areas. Their side patio is set up interestingly with a long counter facing the street and some stools, then a bleacher type seating. I just wish they have more trees, a little green and flowers wouldn't hurt lol. read more

This is a solid coffeeshop. One of my friends recommended Houndstooth to me after visiting there the previous week. Houndstooth is tucked into a larger building, across the street from Barcadia. It is easy to miss if you don't know what you are looking for. Luckily, I did, so I found it. I ordered a vanilla cappuccino after explaining to the barista what I was looking for. He was extremely friendly and pointed me in the right direction. When my cappuccino arrived, I was surprised to see latte art. The heart in the milk foam was such a cool touch. Coming in just below $5, this is a tad pricey. But, the quality is definitely top notch. As I have said in numerous other reviews, I would much rather pay more to support local. This is a great find, and I fully intend to come here more often! Thanks Houndstooth for the delicious caffeinated beverage! read more

I visited Houndstooth to get some work done before getting a haircut nearby. When I walked in the barista was very friendly and nice to chat with. The drink menu was pretty basic, but I enjoyed my latte. Unfortunately my computer was low on battery and there were limited outlets in the shop. Luckily, a spot near an outlet opened up soon after I order, but I did have to encounter a large, dead bug when plugging in my charger. The shop was quiet enough for me to focus, but loud enough that it was okay for me to chat when I needed to take a phone call. Overall, Houndstooth is an enjoyable place to drink, work, and relax, but charge up your computer beforehand if you plan to use it. read more

Great coffee in a great location. I've been here a few times. This location is small and cute. There are days were it is super busy and then days that is super calm. The coffee is great with almond milk. It doesn't take bitter. The coffee is smooth. We've enjoyed just drinking our coffee here and catching up with friends. Definitely my go to whenever we're in the area. The Baristas are super nice too. read more
