The food! I had previously only had coffees at Proud Hound, but we decided to go around lunch time so we glommed onto the food menu. If there are biscuits and gravy on any menu, I'll give it a try, so that's what I ordered. Daughter ordered the Krampus Biscuit. And a side of smashed potatoes to share.Wow. My B&G was sooo good. The gravy was perfect, not greasy or flour-y or too peppery. Perfect, as was the biscuit. Daughter's Sammie was outstanding - too big to eat it all so 1/2 came home. Husband devoured it a day later and raved at how delicious it was. Yummy potatoes.Why did we wait so long to try the food?? Oh, our drinks were good too - a hot cocoa and a London Fog (could have been hotter, but I was so immersed in my B&G I didn't care). We sat at a table - pretty full cafe that day. Found street parking across the street. Excellent service.

Proud Hound is a super cute spot in Silverton with excellent service and a great ambiance. If you've never gone before, there is ample street parking up and around the cafe, we all found spots easily, but had a walk a bit to get back and forth. It was also quite busy inside, it was a Saturday morning, so it was expected, but the line moved quickly and the food/drink arrived to our table in a short amount of time. My chai latte was incredible, perfectly cinnamon'd, not too hot, and with great flavor. Sadly, I wasn't in love with the biscuit sandwich, it was good, but a bit dry. I think the other bread options would have been a better choice, in hindsight. However, that small concern doesn't make me not want to go back to try other things on the menu...and to get that chai again!

Exceedingly happy with my experience here! Yummy, unique food menu, including seasonal items. Delicious coffee. Clean and open seating options with natural sunlight. Happy and efficient staff. Only downside is limited/street parking. Will definitely recommend to others and visit again! Excited to try even more off of their yummy menu. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We stopped by just before closing, so unfortunately, the kitchen was already shut down, but we still had the chance to try their cortados. While they weren't the proper ratio of milk to espresso... they were leaning more toward an xs latte... the milk was steamed to absolute perfection. The texture was so velvety and creamy that it made up for the extra milk, despite being picky about our cortados, we still really enjoyed it. One thing I'd love to see is drinks served in glass for those staying in the shop. It would enhance the experience even more. That said, I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu, especially the food! A standout here is their mug selection. They sell diner-style mugs with "Cincy, OH" on them, which was a huge win for me since I collect mugs from my travels. I really appreciated that little touch!

The restaurant is deceiving on the outside. I've driven past so many times and not realized this isn't just a roastery. It has lots of tables and is very open. The menu is full of variety and it'll take a few more visits to find my favorite. I ordered the Cincinnati Love Letter (patty melt with double smashed goetta patties, cheese curd & cheddar blend, white American cheese, house pickles, & whole grain mustard on seasoned white bread). I love Cubans and this sounded like the perfect Cincy-style Cuban. Unfortunately, the pickles are house made and VERY dill forward and the bread seasoning was mostly dill. Dill happens to be the one ingredient, when used fresh that really ruins a dish for me. So although I enjoyed all the other aspects of the sammie(the perfectly toasted bread, the crunch to the fresh pickles, the goetta and cheese deliciousness, the whole grain mustard seeds), I couldn't get through the overwhelming amount of dill in every single bite.All that being said, I can see the potential and I am excited to try more of the menu items soon! I also can't go without saying that all the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Such a cool coffee shop. I like the industrial look with the murals. The coffee was rich and very good. I also loved the ham and cheese crossaints. Can't wait for their summer patio to open to being my pup here.

This isn't your normal cafe. This is comfort food heaven with sandwiches inspired by Nashville (hot chicken), Louisville (Hot Brown), Ham & Collards (the South), Montreal (Poutine), France (Croque Madame) and... Cincinnati. Can I give the Ham & Collards 6 stars all by itself?! Those grits were the perfect side to help sop up the toppings that dripped from the sandwich. The Hot Dang was a unique Hot Brown due to the added butternut squash - a very welcome addition. I don't live in Cincy, but I'm being sincere in saying that I will make it point for any future visits to hit up Proud Hound and try more of their sandwiches

Came for burger week and ended up ordering fromRegular menu because they were sold out of burgers.... This was my 2nd time trying this week so I was bummed. I also tried last year and they were sold out then too so tried a little earlier and a Sunday yet didn't help. I just think they don't prep enough so if trying to do burger week unless you want it at 8am when they open...don't bother. I wish they'd prepare to have more knowing they sell out that quickly.Ended up getting the Cincinnati Love Letter sandwich instead and the blue matcha latte (hot). The matcha was so delicious and warming. The goetta sandwich was just alright. I think it was too salty for my taste and I felt I was just having to down water to get the saltiness out of my mouth. The toasts is like buttery Texas toast which is deadly and delicious but the goetta in the sandwich just didn't hit the right spot. I will probably have to come back and try some other menu items but was mainly here for the burger week special as that sounded unique with the arugula, quark cheese and bacon onion pepper jam.

I have had Proud Hound coffee before, but this was the first time I've had their food. It is always very busy on weekends, and we went on a Sunday. The line was pretty far back, but it went by relatively quickly - it gave us enough time to look at the menu and decide what we wanted. We grabbed a seat at one of the bars by the window and waited for our food. It took longer than expected. How the place is set up, it feel like it would be more "quick service" since you have to go up to the counter to order, but the wait time is more like a sit down restaurant. The food was good. My partner's chicken sandwich was delicious and I had food envy. My breakfast sandwich was fine, as was the biscuits and gravy. I do really love their coffee - that's the best reason to go. I do also appreciate they have a lot of gluten free options, if that is something you are interested in.

what a cute and fun breakfast spot! we started with a cappuccino and london fog. husband said cappuccino was 10/10 one of the best he has ever had (and he is very picky)!! my london fog was probably 7/10. very middle tier not the best not the worst. for my meal i got the basic biscuit sandwich with sausage. it was very tasty! biscuit was a little on the crumbly side for my taste but overall very yummy! 8/10. my husband got the reubano sandwich and really liked it! honestly his only con was it was too big!!! 8/10. lastly we got the sage sausage and blueberry hush puppies. i wasn't the biggest fan but my husband really liked them. the blueberry was a little weird to me. i probably wouldn't order again. 6/10. overall very nice ambiance and cute place! would for sure come back!
