Houndstooth Coffee is a coffee shop with Texas attitude. Located on North Lamar Boulevard just off of 42nd Street, Houndstooth has become a go-to spot for those who like good coffee. And with everyone who works there having a good time while providing good service, it’s also a relaxing place, too! The décor is cool, but understated — a nice atmosphere to enjoy your morning. When you come to the counter, take your time, because there is a lot of different coffee to choose from. Also, you can get your coffee brewed three different ways. The baristas here are always happy to make your order to your specifications. Even the coffee cups are cool, with imprints of the state. Want to learn more about coffee and how to brew it correctly? Come to one of the weekly “cuppings.” Then take a pound home to make yourself.
