Houndstooth Coffee

"One of the OGs in the “third-wave coffee” scene in Austin, Houndstooth has been around for well over a decade, in that time expanding to multiple locations across the city, but it all started in a small strip mall shop on North Lamar in Rosedale. Baristas take center stage here, set in the center of the shop on what feels like a stage doling out excellent espressos, pour-overs, and lattes topped with perfect little tulips. Houndstooth takes coffee seriously, and serves as one of the most reliable bets for a good morning pick-me-up, even if you have no idea what the f*ck “third-wave coffee” means.  " - nicolai mccrary

"This espresso-focused coffee bar is heaven for hardcore coffee nerds around town. The rotating selections of beans are highlighted by simple and well-executed preparation. All four locations (this in Rosedale and the others in downtown, East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Rock Rose, and far east Austin) feature clean and welcoming designs, as well as a great selection of tools to take home-brewing to the next level. Along with espresso drinks, there are beans, gallon cold brews, iced coffees, and hot coffees, and alternative milks (almond, oat, soy). Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell

"Since opening in Rosedale in 2010, Houndstooth has lived up to its name, creating a pattern of well-crafted shops across town. There are now five locations in Austin (and three in Dallas). The company takes its coffee seriously, which means people should expect high-quality iced lattes, cold brews, and iced coffee. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Eric Webb

"With five Austin-area coffee shops to choose from, you can enjoy well-made lattes and more while plugging away at your work." - Darcie Duttweiler
