Coffee Hound Uptown Normal

Never had a bad time here! I love trying all their new different baked goods. Always feels like something I couldn’t get anywhere else. The welcoming atmosphere also keeps me going back. Great coffee!

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? Coffee. In all its forms. If you’re looking to “sample” a shop in the way a snob like me does, order a capp and an espresso, with an optional drip to follow. They simplify this order with a “sidecar,” which has both drinks sided by a seltzer chaser.

I am always greeted with a smile and the latte’s are amazing— the texture of the milk is perfect, it’s not too sweet (I get white mocha), and it’s the perfect temperature coming out so it doesn’t burn my tongue :) Audrey is great as well as all the other baristas!

First time visiting this location. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of seating. Popular spot and had a constant flow of people, but service was steady with the flow. The staff was very friendly, Claire took the time to describe almost every bakery item to me. (I would recommend some sort of signage for the bakery items to save time) I ordered a caramel/vanilla iced latte, holy cow was it smooth! Next time I would go a little less sweet, but great espresso! I had 2 pastries one that was sweet and creamy and omg so good I wanted to go order 8 more and then a savory one with sausage that I wish they would’ve recommended warm because I would not recommend that cold. My husband ordered the cereal killer and it was very creamy and smooth. He ordered a Nutella pastry and said it was Fire, he did go for seconds 🤣
