Stouthaus Coffee opened our first location on September 15, 2014 at 4715 S. Lamar (frontage road of 290), Sunset Valley, TX. In the fall of 2020, we launched our roasting operations, with our signature espresso blend called the "Resistance" as our commitment to never forget the fight mankind endured together during COVID19. Most recently, in September 2023, we spun off our coffee trailer in Thicket Food Park on South First.

Currently we are looking for experienced baristas (full and part time) for both the Thicket trailer location and the Pub on South Lamar.
