Coffee Hound Uptown Normal

ren★★★★★

Went here during IHSTF and the food and drinks were so good. One of the best matchas I’ve had and the croissants look so good. I know this place gets busy because it’s most likely a hot spot for college students but it lives up to its name.

The pastries are made in-house at the downtown location daily and are delicious. The coffee is made with milk sourced from a local dairy. It's pasteurized but not homogenized and makes for a super creamy coffee that's a delight! The atmosphere is laid back and the customer service is top shelf!!! Definitely worth stopping by to check out! ...and coming back to explore the coffee menu.

As a coffee snob with fifteen+ years in the industry, the best place I’ve found since moving here is Coffee Hound. If you like third wave, they’re the real deal: ✅ baristas with top tier technique and education ✅ source and roast their own beans ✅ no-frills menu, with inventive seasonal drinks that don’t drown out coffee as the main ingredient As a plus, their bakery is UNMATCHED. Like truly incredible pastries and baked goods. The only downside is their hours : I wish they were open later, but I also get that it’s just not feasible to stay open all day anymore. What drinks do they do well?

Wonderful local coffee shop. Bakery items are beautifully executed, sometimes adventurous, but always tasty. Coffee of course is the star, but don't ignore the other offerings. Staff are engaging, helpful and friendly. You can literally visit several times a day and never have the same drink twice - it's never dull! Excellent food, clean, comfortable and welcoming- be sure to stop by.!
