Houndstooth Coffee: Austin’s Living Pattern of Specialty Coffee Excellence
Step inside Houndstooth Coffee and you’ll discover more than a café—you’ll experience a vibrant heartbeat of Austin’s specialty coffee culture. Founded by brothers Sean and Paul Henry, both celebrated as Imbibe Magazine’s 2019 Coffee People of the Year, Houndstooth has redefined what it means to be a coffee destination in Texas, blending meticulous craft with a welcoming, community-driven spirit. Their team of baristas, rigorously trained and fueled by passion, serves exceptional coffee sourced from the world’s finest estates through Tweed Coffee Roasters, their award-winning in-house roastery. Houndstooth’s commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in every cup, and its baristas’ skill has made the cafe a favorite among discerning locals and visitors alike.
The experience here goes beyond expertly pulled espressos and silky cappuccinos; Houndstooth’s rotating portfolio features thoughtfully curated blends and single-origin selections prepared through various methods, including pour-over and batch brew. Notably, their creative spirit shines at locations blending coffee by day and inventive cocktails by night, with unique offerings like the coffee-infused Red-Eyed Reviver. You’ll find an array of local pastries and breakfast tacos to pair with your brew, all enjoyed in a beautiful, design-award-winning space recognized by Architectural Digest and the AIA Dallas. Whether beginning your day or unwinding in the evening, Houndstooth Coffee is a must-visit for anyone passionate about craft coffee and Austin’s unique community vibe.
