I was pleasantly surprised that a waffle comes included with the skillets, and even more surprised that it's a house-made protein waffle. Such a nice touch! The coffee was just as impressive as the food. They have a huge variety of flavors and customization options. Their lattes are on the sweeter side, which I personally love, and the coffee itself is smooth. The cold foam is fantastic. I also appreciate that all drinks come in to-go cups. As a slow coffee drinker, I love being able to take my coffee with me when I'm ready to leave. The atmosphere is great as well, especially the patio. Our first visit was during a busier time, and while our server was incredibly friendly, the patio didn't get checked on very often beyond ordering and food delivery. When we came back a few days later and sat inside, the service was fantastic. Multiple staff members checked on us throughout our meal, and the experience felt much more attentive. It may have just been a difference between the patio and indoor seating or the level of busyness. Overall, we were impressed enough to come back within three days, which says a lot. Great food, great coffee, great atmosphere. Highly, highly recommend!

The coffee was delicious, but the vanilla lavender tea was not as good, but still Tea, my guest felt it should have been steeped longer. The egg hash with 2 waffles was great, the waffles were exceptionally good. It's a great choice if you find yourself here. One thing to be prepared for tall people... the seat and table height are not great. You'll be crouching down to get food in your mouth before it falls off of your fork. The tables are low, and the seats are too high. As a shorter person I had to crouch and slouch over my food to get it into my mouth. This, sadly would be the one reason I'd not return. Also, This is a different type of restaurant, they're a church restaurant. Odd, but interesting. Either way, great waffles, cool staff!

Adorable boutique inside the restaurant! Great for local and visiting shoppers.

It tasted more like a standard latte than something seasonal or layered. Not bad by any means -- just not memorable.

Not as good, but I am sure I could have asked for something closer to the original latte, so that is not on them. Ambience is great, well decorated, and plenty of tables. The baristas were having a conversation that would be deemed inappropriate by many, especially since the young man had a few colorful things to say that got some good laughs from his coworkers; luckily, I don't mind hearing the gossip while I wait for my beverage. Fairly quick service considering how busy they were. I recommend stopping by if there is a free space open.

Wow.......just wow!! Amazing atmosphere, great staff, loads of excellent flavor in their warm potions. The coffee here is really a cut above the rest I have had. My granddaughter and I meet here at least a couple times a week for a few minutes to enjoy a cup of hot Jo and to talk about all things family related. The place is not always the cleanest but the coffee makes up for the other. Once in a while I try something different but I usually order my favorite cup and it is great every time. read more

There are many places for coffee in downtown. You have your choosing from an overwhelming amount of religious coffee shops or the coffee shops run by student baristas whose knowledge extends as far as the label on the coffee. Howlin' Hounds is neither. I would rather walk blocks in a snow storm than buy a cup from a closer shop. It's to the point that if I cannot go to Howlin' Hounds, I just buy from the gas station because surrounding coffee shops don't compare. read more
