I was in the area in need of a coffee and Epoch was one of the first to pop up in my search so I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. The atmosphere is literally the definition of cozy coffee shop. It's serene, well spaced out, and seems like the perfect place to work or hangout for the day. I got an iced lavender vanilla oat milk latte and it was great. You can tell the coffee is high quality and the staff was very attentive. I didn't grab any food, but there were plenty of pastry options and I also noticed they had breakfast tacos. I definitely plan on going back and bringing my laptop next time to work the morning with a latte and breakfast! COVID Precautions: All staff and customers are required to wear masks, hand sanitizer was available, and all tables/areas were clearly cleaned/sanitized. read more

Epoch Coffee - Vanilla Lavendar Oat Milk Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

No just no. Its an ok coffee shop if you want to buy and qet a quick exit ....and yes they put the pretty designs on the latte but.... its not starbucks. It is Not Summermoon. It is not as clean as it should be. They play hard core rock music very loud at 9am and won't turn it down no matter how nice you ask. Floor needs a good cleaning. Chairs and Salas really need to be replaced or cleaned. The staff reflect the interior appearance....a bit grundgy. Not one smile. For me this is not it. So, If you want a nicer experience where you can have coffee in the early morning, study or talk not shout at your friends, then am I am very sorry to give a 1 star ... but ..... this is not the place. Recommend alternative shops for early morning coffee. Not this Epoch location. read more

I have no complaints about the coffee or food offered here. I usually get an iced mojo at whichever location I go to. The turkey sandwich was fine. The barista was preparing the drinks at a great pace and was friendly. My issue with this location is that the wifi is terrible. How are you going to be a coffee shop in this day and age with spotty wifi AT BEST? Epoch and Epoch 5G are both unsecure connections. When I tried to connect to both from my laptop and phone, it wouldn't work. My phone wasn't able to obtain the IP address for either the first few tries, so it basically couldn't connect to the network. It was successful after 4 attempts and then the connection dropped after one minute. My laptop was able to connect but kept saying no internet. I asked the barista and he said that if there are too many devices on the network, you basically can't connect. Y'all, I think there were less than 10 people in and around the shop connected to the network. How is this possible? I already paid for my order and everything. If I'd known this ahead of time, I would've left before ordering to go to another coffeeshop that I could actually work in! read more

Epoch Coffee - Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Such a great location with so many sweet barista's to caffeinate you. I love their Cortado's and espresso.

Good coffee and tea. Unique tea selection. Staff was friendly and Wifi is free. What else could I ask for :-)

i love epoch!!! it's such a cute local coffee place! good drinks, great service, and an overall amazing vibe.

This is definitely one of my favorite coffee bars for several reasons - the coffee is excellent, the ambiance is lovely, and I love the music selection of this place! It's a great place to come for a quick coffee to go or to sit and chat with a friend for a while. My only reason for deducting a star is cleanliness and cleanliness of a very particular sort. This was a very unusual thing, but the last time I was there while sitting on the couch, I was adjusting my seated position and my hand slipped between the couch cushions.... right into a million and a half crumbs. Absolutely disgusting. I realize that this is not a typical place to clean, but maybe just something to focus on as this location does serve food. Besides that, I really enjoy this place and especially am a fan of the lavender latte they make - absolutely phenomenal! So hopefully they clean the couches but just be careful when sitting in them until they do! I probably just won't be sitting on the couches. Update: I recently had the gluten free lemon poppyseed pound cake and wow....it was absolute perfection! read more

Epoch Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Texas mood swing weather had me needing/wanting something to help warm me up. I noticed this was on the way to my son's school so thought I would stop by. Strawberry banana bread? Yassssss. A prefect combination of both strawberry and banana. Their special right now is a strawberry shortcake latte. To reduce the level of sweet, they offered less syrup. They also substituted almond milk for me. This latte is sooooo good! Not too sweet and doesn't taste like that overpowering fake strawberry syrup. There is a great variety of breakfast items that you do not typically see at other bakeries. read more

Epoch Coffee - Strawberry shortcake latte (rookie error - I put the lid on and then realized I forgot to take a pic) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Epoch Coffee offers great coffee, atmosphere, and service. Wide selection of teas and coffee options that you would expect to see at any quality coffee shop nowadays. They also offer delicious empanadas, Tacodeli breakfast tacos until 11am, and baked goods. Beyond the excellent food and drink choices, Epoch offers a wonderful atmosphere with spacious interior and exterior seating, large tables to spread out by yourself or with a group, bar seating, and a communal lounge area with a selection of books and board games. Unlike some reviewers, I have never had an issue finding seating for myself at this location. Epoch Coffee also supports the Austin community. They have a bulletin board outside of the bathrooms featuring local artists and events. Today, they had flyers with information on what you can do to stop the execution of Rodney Reed, an inmate who has been on death row in Texas despite shaky evidence since 1998. Every time I come here there is a new set of local artist artwork on the walls. Nothing like a coffee shop that supports the local community. Epoch Coffee provides everything I look for in a coffee shop: deliciousness, quality service, and a community-driven purpose. Check them out if you need a caffeine fix and are in town. read more

Epoch Coffee - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Staff is friendly, coffee is good. Not a lot of food options, and around 9am they blast heavy music. I'm into that kind of music, but not when I'm trying to focus on my work. Cool place to go with friends, but don't expect to get much done in the morning. read more

Great food and drinks in a friendly atmosphere. Nice spot to meet friends or if you're alone. The back patio area is really pretty too

Out of towners and we stumbled across this place while vintage shopping. We came back daily for our caffeine fix. Best coffee hands down. Try the iced horchata!!! Ambiance is everything - both inside and out. read more

Centrally located, with ample parking this spot usually has a constant flow of customers. There is indoor seating as well as patio seating at the back of the shop. It's a great place to complete some work or study. It's an even better place to chill out and read a bit along with a coffee. The pot of tea is something I like to order and sip on. It is not that common to find. read more

From the outside it looks like it is going to be a small coffee shop, but then looks can be deceiving. The place is quite spacious, plenty of places to sit and relax with your coffee. The barista is very knowledgeable and suggested a great single origin espresso for the hubby. My mocha tasted great with very cute latte art. Highly recommend this place. read more

This particular location of Epoch is my go-to for studying in Austin. It's conveniently located basically next to Mopac, with a spacious parking lot. During busy times, both parking and seating can be a struggle, but another plus is that you're not far away from other coffee shops and study parts. Still, Epoch is my #1. You could study here if you wanted, or hang out, or admire the artwork on the walls while enjoying coffee. The possibilities are endless. The noise level goes either way, plus they usually have some good music going. They have a good menu for both coffee and tea lovers, and have a slow bar as well. I personally like their cold brew. If you're up for something less coffee-heavy and more sweet, the Mojo is awesome for when it's 300 degrees outside. A good variety of couches and tables, outdoor seating for good weather, local baked goods, friendly baristas, and many outlets... what more could you want? read more

This place is what I think of when I think coffee shop. It was full but not packed. People were there for all sorts of reasons, all kinda minding their own business but not necessarily in closed off way, more like a college library kind of way. As for the coffee I got an iced coffee and it was exactly what I hoped it would taste like read more

This Epoch is a great study spot, much more work-oriented than the other location. The wifi is pretty reliable, but finding an outlet can be hit or miss. There is this really strange thing that happens to me sometimes there where the staff picks to play hard rock pretty loud... like this has happened on multiple occasions while I'm studying there. I can dig some hard rock, but geez they couldn't play it any louder! read more

Just had to hop on here and say this hot lavender matcha is just perfect. Not too hot. Just right. The crew here have been pleasant the couple of times we have visited. There is plenty of seating to meet up with a friend or just to get a little work done. We appreciate the variety of music. We look forward to the next time we are in the area. read more

I would say this place was pretty good! I got the mojo which was really good! And hubby got an iced cold brew which was really good also! Not disappointed with this place at all! It was a nice and quiet atmosphere ! The employees seemed to be really helpful and nice! And I did let them know they were running low on creamer! Again, great service and definitely a place I'd go back to. read more

Epoch Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great local coffee shop. Easy parking and great coffee. Serves most of the standard coffee fairs but the pour over is a must if you appreciate good coffee. Outlets are hard to come by so if you're going to need some juice for your computer make sure you scope out a strategic spot to sit before committing to camping out. Friendly staff and clean environment. Music is definitely loud and can hear through headphones which makes it hard to come and zone out but great if you're looking for a coffee shop to catch up with friends. read more

Epoch Coffee - Ethiopian pour over - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Kind of an underwhelming experience. Pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon. Not as many outlets, so be mindful if you need anything plugged. It's a pretty long and narrow place. Drinks are meh. I was not feeling the Chai Tea Latte. It was pretty bland. Parking is difficult because of everything else surrounding it. Had to park pretty far. read more

They are open and doing orders at the front door! Fast and friendly, clean and safe. You can still work on the patio, it's outside and socially distanced. WiFi is strong ! read more

Circa13 is everything a coffee shop should be. Plenty of places to sit and talk/work. Numerous power outlets, free WiFi and open until Midnight. They brew up several local teas, Cuvee coffee and serve baked goods from Russell's Bakery. Also serve salad/sandwiches from 10AM-2PM for lunch but I haven't had the chance to try them yet. Woohoo! As good as it gets! read more

This review isn't really fair. I feel like Epoch Coffee moved into this W. Anderson location because I WILLED it to happen. The cosmos knew I wanted an excellent cafe in the empty space next to our office, and they made it happen. I couldn't be happier. First, I appreciate the design/layout. They leased a long, narrow, weird-shaped, old space and made it BEAUTIFUL. This is not an easy feat. I know, I tried to do the same with our office location. You can tell that the design was very well thought out. Lots of warm woods, excellent lighting, art on the walls, and seating that satisfies the hard-working lone-wolf and the socialite. I really love the ordering area. The minimal aesthetic brings the focus to what they do best: coffee. They have pour-overs, several selections of beans and grinds, and (the pièce de résistance) the incredible Strada espresso machine. If you are a coffee connoisseur, you won't be disappointed. As for the food, I am thrilled. I like to eat healthy. Our office is surrounded by some of the best food in Austin (Bartletts, Phonatic, Hopdoddy, Verts etc) but we don't have a lot of healthy alternatives. Last time I ate at Epoch, I had an incredible Vegan Club sandwich. It is very cool that a place that specializes in coffee can make food this good. Most importantly, the people there are awesome. Everyone on our team loves going to Epoch and talking to their team. They like great music, they know coffee, and they are extremely friendly. I am big fan, and I will be in Epoch often. read more

This new Anderson Epoch bears the same resemblance with its North Loop sibling as I have with my own sister - absolutely none. I should probably disclose I don't actually have a sister. And since we're in disclosing mode, let me mention my coffee consumption has gone from two quarts a day to less than two cups, because it's my worst trigger for smoking ever. The point being nothing pisses me off quicker these days than tepid swill posing as coffee. That puts me in a really really, dark place. I'm happy to report this new Epoch is all sunshine and rainbows. Their $2 house pour using my cup was wonderful. They have Russell's pastries, a real kitchen from 10am-2pm, and WiFi blazing at 10m-down. A laid-back & friendly staff who appear to enjoy working there. And granted this place is brand-spanking new, but it's so clean and sterile here that you can literally do coffee bean surgery right off the floor. If you want to feel personality, head over to the North Loop Epoch, you'll have to give this Anderson Epoch a little more time to develop. The bottom line is let's see how they fare, with Starbie's around the corner and Genuine Joe's up the street. Maybe they're shooting for the post-Alamo crowd, or the Anderson Lane lunch-hoppers. Maybe if you build it, they will come. I do know this new Epoch has good coffee and it's a pleasant respite. In this particular hip & cool gentrified section of town, it's almost quietly epic. read more

Cute place. Try the Mojo iced coffee... bomb.com. Plenty of indoor space: tables, bar seating and sofas. There's a quaint little outdoor seating area out back-- a portion of the outdoor space is covered. As far as the service, eh... it's not the best; friendly, but a bit slow to acknowledge their customers, which was a bit awkward to experience and to watch. All in all, Epoch is a pretty good coffee spot. I'd return for the Mojo. read more

Well not so epic after all. Again it's young girls as barista posing as customer service while secretly being bitchy to older female customers. Excellent point. I'm online and this mousy haired sin lips girl looking smug is talking to two male customers ahead of me actually asking inappropriate questions like hey what are you do you guys which I guess is OK for a networking meeting but not if customers are just in there to order coffee and do their business. OK she says goodbye to them she hands them their coffee and then looks at me doesn't say hello doesn't smile and doesn't ask what would you like ma'am and waits. So I ask her about the tea. She doesn't ask me if it's here or to go so I have to tell her as of pulling teeth. She abruptly asks what's your name and I give it to her. Then 10 minutes later I hear someone loudly calling out TEA. But I don't respond since TEA is not my name. At least not that I'm aware of. Another few minutes go by and a loud MINT TEA is shouted out. Ah. That must be mine. I get it at the bar and query the girl who is under a patriarchal spell (like didn't you ever hear of ERA or the Women's Rights movement girlie? No I thought so) is there any reason you didn't use my name? She returned a blank stare then shrugs and says next time. I correct her. There won't be a next time. I'm becoming convinced a lot of the spellbound girls are under the yoke of male patriarchy and are living in a 1950s world. Sad but true in Austin 2019. 21 st century read more

This was my favorite new discovery, but sadly it did not last. Parking had always been awful, but there has not been any seating the last two times I've gone in and prices were just increased $0.50 for all drinks (except the cortado, I think). I know $0.50 isn't a lot, but the original prices were already higher than Starbucks and I don't feel like Epoch deserves any slack for mispricing when they have had another store open for years to experiment with. Also, my usual cappuccino had always been served in their bigger cups (about 12 oz) and they just recently downsized all drinks (except mochas, as far as I can tell) to their small cups (about 8 oz). Updated prices, for reference: Cappuccino: $3.25 to $3.75 (Starbucks Tall = $2.75) Latte: $3.50 to $4.00 (Starbucks Tall = $2.75) Mocha: $3.75 to $4.25 (Starbucks Tall = $3.25) Drip: $2.00 to $2.50 (Starbucks Tall = $1.65) If you're rich and willing to pay a buck more for less coffee, of course Epoch tastes better. But if you're a poor student like me, back across the street to Starbucks it is... read more

Epoch Coffee - New menu as of 05/06/14, but careful because it'll probably be completely different tomorrow - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

On convenience, really good wireless connectivity. friendliness ...they are really really good, but if rating them on coffee...it is definitely meh. But then not everyone is obsessed about that kind of stuff like me. And when I say coffee ...I don't mean a latte, but a pour over or do a espresso. They guys have a pretty expensive machine to pull espressos, let they are always a let down with a very thin watery to non-existent crema, pour overs are done so hurriedly that once does not really get the full extraction of flavor for what otherwise should be a great cup of coffee coming from Cuvee. On the other side of coin is easy accessibility, really good connection speeds, reasonable service and fairly helpful staff then ends up with this place being A-OK. read more

Epoch Coffee - A fairly pedestrian espresso. ..no discernable crema - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Good But I'm confused on the pricing..... One time I went and the barista charged me like $3.65 for a 16oz coffee in my own cup. I voiced my opinion of that and That it sounded high; everywhere I go for coffee charges around $2.50 to fill my cup. She didn't even wanna hear my protest. She said something like there's a Starbucks down the street and was rude... Well.. The next time I came here a different barista served me and charged me $2.71!? I'm giving the low stars because of the poor customer service of the first girl and the inconsistency in pricing. read more

Cute location and relaxed feel if you want to get away and have a nice secluded conversation with a friend. Nice couches and plenty of tables for studying and enjoying all the lovely items Epoch has to offer. Epoch served me my FIRST cappuccino and I'm HOOKED! Freakin baby cup gave me the shakes at 11:30pm and now I can't wait to go back. It also didn't help that I chased that down with their tea. Ben was such a sweetheart and told us he would do a second steeping on our tea. I loved everything about this place and can't wait to visit again. I wish there were more laid back/spacious coffee houses in San Antonio! Austinites are SPOILED! read more

Epoch has a wonderful hipster vibe to it - great ambience and really chill, friendly workers. They also have a wide menu - pour over, drip, cold brew, and espresso coffee drinks as well as a number of teas. The staff is also very helpful, answering questions any customers may have, and are easy to converse with. I ordered a simple latte, and sat at the bar, but there is a wide range of seating from couches to small tables. Their espresso has a wonderful bitter coffee taste - super satisfying. I will warn that if you prefer sweeter drinks, you may want to order something with an added flavor of some kind. I've also heard their french press is great, but haven't tried it yet. It's the perfect spot to catch up with friends or work. I'll come here again if I'm ever in North Austin! read more
