My husband and I read great reviews and looked at photos and decided to try this place today. When we walked in, the place was barely lit. So dark it took a minute for my eyes to adjust given how sunny it was outside.

It was almost silent inside. There was a hint of background music, but even whispering to my husband felt like yelling. The room was full of people on laptops, so we thought maybe we just walked in at a weird time.

We proceeded to look at the menu where the barista asked what we would like. I asked if they made their syrups in house or what brand they used and he said “I think 1883.” Not sure why he wasn’t aware.

I ordered an iced vanilla matcha and my husband ordered a hot vanilla latte. The girl who was helping the barista seemed very confused since it seemed the barista took our order in the wrong spot. She then went to help him and made my matcha. I watched her barely whisk it and it had clumps everywhere.

She then never handed me my drink, but left it sitting beside her without a lid. I had to ask where the lids were to which she cordially replied on the back wall and pointed.

My husband’s “latte” was way more cappuccino milk with way too much foam on top.

We had planned on working from there all day, but couldn’t get out of there fast enough. We left and immediately dumped our drinks and went somewhere else.

Overall, the quality of drinks wasn’t good, the atmosphere was very resistible, and the service was medium (the barista was nicer, the girl checking us out was not friendly).

Not trying to just be someone who just leaves a bad review, but as a coffee shop owner, I would want to know if someone had this type of...

This is my go to Houndstooth location of all houndstooth’s in Dallas. The way I usually judge a coffee shop is by their house coffee(medium) and houndstooth’s Foxtrot just does the job consistently. This is what I usually get and somehow it’s very consistent at Henderson location, it always has the slight sour end which is the distinct taste of their medium roast. At some other location’s like on Sylvan Ave, it can fluctuate. Other than the regular house coffee, their Flat White is pretty epic!!! Highly recommend! The balance of expresso to milk is just perfect. Additionally, they have tacos from Taco Deli and some nice offerings like Muffins and croissants from local shop. The vibe here is also a pretty chill one. I’d recommend a visit to anyone...
