Houndstooth Coffee

In a city full of coffee dorks, Houndstooth is perhaps the most unabashed, wearing its single-origin nerdiness (and custom denim aprons) with occasionally condescending pride. Expect a choice of espressos from national roasters like PT's Coffee Roasters and Counter Culture, as well as seasonals from Tweed (owned by the shop’s founders). They’ve expanded to a second space downtown in the Frost Tower, but the North Lamar location retains more neighborhood energy and is one of the city’s best workspaces. If you’re feeling experimental, don’t miss their coffee julep.
