Coffee and tea

Love this cozy place! The coffee and tea are great! Service and ambiance are excellent!

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.

The service is excellent as well. I went to pick up some stickers for a my friend and I was able to get them. Thanks! And the coffee came out quickly. Thanks again! There is plenty of seating with lots of places to charge your laptop. There is also a big bulletin board that has a lot of information. The only negative thing is parking. I got a spot but because the parking lot is shared amongst several businesses and each putting up their own signs it is limited.

I get customer service jobs are difficult but all you have to do is smile and pretend that you enjoy your job and enjoy the guest-this is particularly important if you are the employee who is dealing with the customer head on. I had an experience here girl made me feel really uncomfortable for not promptly understanding how their credit card swiper works (my card has money on it, i just didn't see you had to pick the tip option first before moving forward with the transaction). She blatantly and painfully expressed her annoyance at my slowness. I choose to pay cash as opposed to using my card (it was easier in the moment). She dropped the change back in my hand like my hand was diseased. She did not say thank you or "have a good day", the normal, simple, easy yet soothing platitudes one shares in their position. I'm not sure if she is perpetually moody, miffed I did not tip, or just irritated by my incompetence. But either, this is disheartening, disappointing and unprofessional. This situation has permanently deterred me from a continued customer.

We heard good things about this place and I wanted to love it but from the time we walked in me and…read moremy husband was completely ignored by more than 7 people before we were acknowledged and they were not busy. When we were finally approached the lady that approached us was nice and attentive. Our waitress was nice and friendly but she was manning a lot of tables for some reason. The food was pretty but ok. I got the original pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs. The pancakes came with strawberries, blueberries, bananas and syrup. The syrup was mixed with butter and it was a little too much butter which was off putting if you don't like a lot of butter. The pancakes were fluffy looking but tasted like a version of jiffy cornbread. I ate the fruit. The eggs were not scrambled really. I just felt like they put them in a bowl, scrambled with fork and put them on the grill but forgot to scramble them a little bit to cook the top of the eggs and then plated. The top of eggs was wet. I'm not a fan of raw eggs which happen to come out after I was done trying the pancakes and fruit. The ambiance was pretty in teal the music was perfectly light. It was my Birthday and I wanted pictures of all and everything that I ate it didn't disappoint in that aspect but they should water the plants.

This was my first visit to Dog Day Coffee & Nitro. Guess the coffee detox program didn't work…read more Smile. I was lured into Dog Day by their great Yelp rating 4.6/5. Dog Day is located on Burnet Road. When I walked into Dog Day I was fascinated by what was going on inside. There are dog pictures on the walls for sell. These cute little doggie pictures are for sale with the scan of their respective QR code. They also have nitro coffee. If you're unfamiliar with nitro coffee, you're not alone. Here's the scoop...Nitro coffee begins as cold brew and is then infused with nitrogen gas, which creates tiny little bubbles that give it a creamy, velvety texture. It has the foaminess of beer. Important to note, it has no alcohol. They have an assortment of food- pastries, tacos and sandwiches. The coffee shop is large with seating space on both sides of the coffee shop. There is also outside seating. I ordered the matcha latte and a migas taco with potato and avocado. The matcha latte was initially too matcha-y. I added a lavender flavoring and it was perfect. The migas taco was especially tasty. Mark, the barista, was very friendly and accommodating. He said that Dog Day had been open for 1.5 years and the name was based on a love for dogs...surprise, surprise. Smile.

Excellent barista drinks Food is limited to tacos which are average …read more Plenty of comfortable seating. Parking is convenient in nearby garage.
