What Houndstooth Coffee is known for
Locally owned coffee chain with eight cafés across Austin and Dallas, Texas, including locations at Rock Rose and Sylvan Thirty. Beyond coffee and tea, its shops serve pastries, beer, and wine.
Houndstooth Coffee runs eight locally owned cafés split between Austin and Dallas, Texas: five in Austin (North Lamar, Downtown, East MLK, Rock Rose, and Laurel) and three in Dallas (N. Henderson Avenue, Sylvan Thirty, and Walnut Hill). The company markets itself around what it calls 'the pattern of coffee and people,' framing its cafés as neighborhood gathering spots rather than pure grab-and-go outlets.
Menus extend beyond straight coffee and tea to include beer, wine, and pastries, positioning the cafés closer to a daytime-into-evening format than a typical espresso counter. Houndstooth also runs a catering and consulting arm for outside clients, plus an 'offsite cafes' program that places Houndstooth-branded coffee service inside other venues.
With eight standing locations across two Texas metros, Houndstooth has grown from a single café into a small regional chain, while keeping ordering largely centralized through a linked online ordering system rather than individual per-shop apps.
