    mexican mocha and matcha
    Amanda L.

    I actually like this location. It gets crowded VERY quickly so it's sometimes difficult to find a good table with outlets. I wouldn't recommend coming here with a large ish group unless you are okay sitting outside with no outlet. I got the mexican mocha this time which was MUCH better than the cranberry soda I got last time. Matcha is just okay.

    Cute decor for Valentines

    One of the best coffee shops to visit in Austin. This coffee shop is laptop friendly and they have plenty of working tables inside and a few outdoor tables to utilize. Within the last few months they've done a bit of a makeover and took over the back community space and have put in a state of the art roaster for on-site roasting. This machine is so nice and I really appreciate the passion they have for their program. Epoch Coffee is an inclusive and safe space and it truly is an open to all business. From gender neutral bathrooms and safe sex protection kits in the bathroom, to signage all around that everyone and anyone is welcome here. This coffee shop is doing some great work. Now moving on to their actual coffee program - wow - it goes without saying they have some of the best lattes and cold brews one could have. What really stands out to me is their lavender syrup which creates a nice balance of flavor without it being too sweet. If you get there early enough they have a few items to enjoy including some breakfast Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that all the exciting details for our upcoming event, Yelp's Tacos, Tequila, & Tunes Hangout, are in your Yelp messages. Make sure to check them out and RSVP ASAP so you don't miss a thing! Enjoy tacos, swag, drinks, and so much more.

    Iced Chai Latte and a mysterious green tea
    Carrie M.

    I really wanted to like Epoch because it's such a classic UT student study spot. I came here on a Sunday afternoon with friends, and we had to be vigilant about claiming a seat when someone left. We weren't able to get our own table, but we sat at the long table with other people. I really like the design of putting a long table so that fewer seats remain empty. The wifi was kind of slow and not working at times. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I do love a chai latte when I go to a coffee shop. Unfortunately, the iced chai latte ($4.87) I got here was so watered down. My coffee enthusiast friend tried it and said it tasted like water. It was so bad and very disappointing since this was one of my rare coffee occasions, and I was looking forward to the chai latte. The restroom was very dirty. There was suspicious liquid all over the floor and very grimey. Otherwise I really liked the productive ambience of the coffee shop.

    I love coming to Epoch. There's ample parking located in the front and back, it's easy to access, and if you're not wanting to sit inside, you can enjoy your bevy on the property's zen shared patio space. Epoch is the perfect spot for a work from anywhere day. They not only have drinks, but they also serve light bites, including breakfast tacos that really hit the spot. Note: since this is a spot frequented by remote workers, you may find difficulty finding a seat. For the business: I would recommend getting smaller tables meant for 1-2 people, as the larger tables aren't as inviting when you see one person with an entire workstation set up and 3 empty seats. It would allow more people to come in and enjoy a beverage or snack comfortably.

    My son and I came here after church and I had matcha hot tea and he had lavender iced drink. I thought the ambience was unique, free wifi, coed restrooms-2 cubicles each which I felt unsafe/ uncomfortable). Pleasant server and a much needed pick me up drinks.

    We were in the plaza and needed a quick pick me up when we saw the cafe. Got a double espresso which was good and strong. Service was short and professional. The space from the outside seems like it would be small but it goes far back and cozy. There was someone at every table working on their laptops. The aesthetic gives me an eccentric/hipster/grunge feel. There's a very large communal table when you walk in but the seats are just so close to the single tables against the wall that my friends and I couldn't talk and catch up without bothering the people who were working without their headphones.

    My iced chai latte was delicious! Perfect degree of spice.  I was offered whole, oat, or soy milk. I appreciate that the ice is very small--keeping the drink cold more efficiently and making it easier to drink. Also, drinks are served lidless; the lids sit across from the counter. I was able to consume my drink and choose not to waste a lid. Of course I'm sure it's for efficiency. Service was delightful. I asked for a chai tea latte and commented that I was apparently being redundant (chai and tea).  Resulted in a charming exchange. I'm happy I stopped in after my movie next door. I'll be by again.

    Birthday cake latte
    Sara O.

    We used to come here, got derailed and ventured out to different places over the years. Finally got back here and it's lovelier than I remember. They took the tables out of the center of the main room, so it's roomier. The patio is great, and we're glad to be back. The birthday latte held promise but I wish I had the mocha, my first love.

    Best espresso pulls in Austin
    Britt Z.

    Stopped by for a hot single origin cortado on my way out of town. I love how warm and welcoming it always feels here, no matter who is working. Also, remember epoch has gift-able Christmas merch for purchase in store as well as gift cards. Perfect for the espresso lovers in your life-

We ordered the #9 Name of the Girl I'm Dating, #6 Hot Momma Huda, and #1 Elvis Kieth, and all three sandwiches were fresh and absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly toasted, the ingredients tasted high-quality, and every bite was packed with flavor. The meats were generous, the toppings were well-balanced, and the sauces tied everything together without overpowering the sandwich. You can tell everything is made fresh, and the consistency across all three orders was impressive.

    ***SMOOTHIE ONLY REVIEW***…read more I'll be honest, Yelp: I most sincerely had reservations about The Soup Peddler. Reason: The menu reads sort of average and practical. Why buy stuff I could make at home? When I spend money, I'm paying for a hit of culture and flavor. This economy is crazy. You've gotta choose wisely. I can save money and do average at home. HOWEVER, I was on a mission for a real pineapple and kale smoothie, and Austin has been inconsistent with this. Juice-Land makes mistakes with substitutions (they don't have it on the menu) and Smoothie King is an "all over the place" expensive hot mess caught up in a boycott, so here I found myself. I ordered the Tropicalia (24 oz): mango, banana, pineapple juice, lemon, kale, spirulina. Solid lineup. But I don't like juice substitutions when you can have real fruit, so my *ONE ASK* was to please add real pineapple on top of everything. Add actual pineapple, not just juice. They said yes!!! No extra charge. And that's where everything changed. This tasted CRAFTED. This tasted INTENTIONAL. Winner. WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER. This is easily the BEST smoothie I've had in Austin. That I've had ever. Ok, Erewhon in LA has been the best. But this was fresh, bright, and clean. Sweet without tipping into sugar overload. The pineapple flavor popped and was balanced by the earthiness of the kale and spirulina so it felt refined and it didn't feel like a juice bomb. Perfecto. Service was straightforward. Pleasant and efficient, not over the top. It works. But the point is I came in skeptical and I left planning my next visit. I want to try everything. If this smoothie delivered then I have high hopes for the rest of the menu. Forgive my doubts.

We ended up mentioning that we hated the salad and the shrimp. still untouched on the table. she said to give her a moment. and we sat and waited for 10 minutes. while they were talking about us and them saying "they did touch the shrimp" (yes we took 2 bites to try it obviously, then we didn't touch it afterwards) finally after 10 minutes they bring us the check. which they didn't take anything off of. so we paid $70 for 2 banh mis. left hungry with a horrible experience. We were still thinking of coming back just to grab some drinks cause they looked good. but after voicing our complaints, then those complaints ignored. Never again. Horrible.

The parking is shared and gets packed in the evening or you have to pay to park if you are unable to find anything in the lot or on the street. Handsome Dans has a sign directing you to the back where they are located. The vibe is true to a bait shop/diner it's casual with a rustic feel, they have a large covered patio adjacent to Stargazer bar. I highly suggest sitting outside if possible because the inside does get a bit claustrophobic and smokey when it's packed and they are smashing paninis on the press with no proper kitchen overhead vents. The type of greasy smoke you get when you are making super buttery sandwiches on a hot press. The sandwiches are ok but not something I would go out of my way to have ,our kids liked the hotdogs and Frito pies which were also kind of "upper class" gas station quality. Most of the stuff here is food that probably tastes way better after drinking several beers. It's like any normal sandwich you could make at home and toss in a panini press to be honest. Really good beers on tap and friendly staff who seemed to disappear to the back quite a bit and came back confused. They didn't know if they had already given me my food because I was ordering and paying for extra food after more people in our party arrived. They literally saw my food I already had on the table from my previous order and thought they gave me double of what I ordered hahaha. I can't make a judgment because I have no clue what they kept dispersing to the back for but can just say the confusion was real, LOL. All together if I had to come back it be because someone I knew wanted to try it. Otherwise for me it's a one and done. I got the pictures I stood next to a sign ,I had the Signiture sandwiches, now I'm moving on. I can say I've been there done that. I'm guessing that a college crowd or just being a single person who just wants to be amongst people that this is the type of lowkey place to go if you're not into the typical Longhorn hangouts. You stop in ,have some beers, eat a low budget ingredient expensive panini sandwich and chill till you have to call yourself a Waymo cause the beer is good and strong.
