Wish i could leave a 0 star review. The barista called me back into line after I walked away to ask for a tip cause he forgot to turn the ipad around... it was so awkward. I got an iced americano which he double checked was iced and then he dumped a HOT americano over a crap ton of ice. which all melted. Even Dunkin' donuts would have the decency to make me a new drink. So do yourself a favor and don't come here. read more

Epoch Coffee - it went straight into the grass lol - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been here twice in as many days. The mocha with coconut milk is excellent. It is the perfect temperature on delivery to immediately drink- something I don't generally find to be the case at coffee shops. I don't need to scald my mouth off when drinking a coffee. It's a pretty big place and seems like it would be nice to work in. They have power cords hanging for the ceiling for the people who choose to do that. Worth visiting. read more

Love this place. Coffee is top notch and the staff is kind and courteous. Been coming here for about a decade and don't see that stopping anytime soon. read more

I love coming here to study. The interior is nicely decorated and very cozy. The service is quick. I highly recommend their matcha. It's the best I've been able to find so far in Austin. read more

I love Epoch, especially the location on Far West. I usually am a hot coffee drinker,weird, I know! Today I felt like trying something new! I was contemplating between the Matcha blend and the Iced Mojo, but needed the caffeine boost! Therefore, I got there Iced 1/2 Mojo. I like my coffee black so it was the perfect sweetness for me. read more

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

Super cute cafe but busy most of the time. Nice place to work from and they have good coffee too.

Cool coffee place however rude experience. Walked in carrying my small dog as we were going to order and then sit outside. The barista didn't even greet us at all and immediately said only service dogs allowed based on the city ordinance. I do understand the rule but the barista could have said hello and then advised me nicely - overall just thought it was a rude experience! read more

This Epoch coffee is epic! (I know- eye roll, no one says "epic" anymore mom! Gah.) But honestly, this old jiffy lube- converted into a coffee shop really is fantastic! I try to come here when I can. This location is always buzzing but not loud. There's no drive thru and the parking is often full but the latte was the smoothest latte I've had in town. Italians really have mastered macchiatos, espressos, and coffees of all assortments. I love that while hipster Epoch is unique that they also respect the craft of the Italians and make it their own. I'm telling you, you want to try a different standard of coffee - this is the spot. Delicious! read more

Well, how do you like your Epochs? The original 24/7 North Loop one is still our own Seattle grunge, the Anderson one is appropriately chic, and this brand new one on Far West is simply hip & cool. Friendly baristas and super fast wifi. Neato. The bad news is they close at 7pm, but it's hard to get mad at that, because that's pretty much when this neighborhood seems to shut down (okay, I'm usually in this area only for that HEB & library). They're talking about expanding their hours, but we'll see. There's also less food here than the other two Epochs, but in a nice way, so what? If we want to eat, let's go to a restaurant. Still a solid black pour for $2.50, their "Mojo" concoction has its own proselytes, and I really need to pay more attention to the latest chai & latte stuff. Big bright communal tables, with a whole bunch of two-tops in the dark two-top room. Was this place a former gas station? Garage? But now the newest & coolest Epoch in Austin's coffee world? We'll sip slow & contemplate. read more

My wife loved the iced coffee drink she ordered and i loved the large cappuccino that barely made it out of the old JiffyLube building repurposed as a barista hangout, I gnoshed my way through a great turnover type pastry filled with cream cheese and cinnamon. The barista was friendly and informative....another great java destination in the city with lots of options. read more

I love Epoch and have frequented the North Loop location for years! Great service, friendly baristas, delicious coffee and perfectly made cappuccinos! The beautiful fern pattern on my coconut milk cap amazed me. Not easy with coco milk. The space is much larger than I thought with tables of varying proportions and a small quiet area of mostly 2-tops at the west end featuring fun art on the walls. There is a downstairs space for staff and storage. I was told they may have coffee samplings for the 'hood downstairs in the future. Yes, please. We purchased a bag of the San Francisco delicious Cabin Fever because it rocked our world. If you source directly from farmers and roast locally you get an amazing flavor. Do try this coffee. Thank me later. read more

LOVE this new location! It's super minimal and modern, but still has the same grungy vibe you know and love about Epoch. Coffee is great, and I love the open space of the main room if you're there for conversation, as well as the more dim-lit back room if you're there to study or work. read more

I have been here 30 plus times over the past few years. The one star is for the staff attitude. Coffee is decent.

Great addition to the neighborhood! I love how a Epoch has given life to what use to be an automotive repair shop. Classic Austin move in a quickly changing city. There's a good amount of table space here which is what I look for when I go to a coffee shop. Two big community tables for those who like to spread out and a bunch of smaller tables that are in a side room. The glass windows offer lots of natural light and at night it's well lit. No password for the internet and I haven't had any issues while I'm sitting here typing my review. What to be weary of is the outlets, there doesn't seem to be many and they're located in awkward spots. I think it would be cool to see some outlets that hang from the ceiling above the community tables. I can see myself coming back here to work and read. Can't beat a nice space and nice employees who you can joke around with :) Got a pot of tea here, I'll do the coffee next time! read more

Terrible service. I waited for ten minutes at an empty register. I finally called the store to see if they were open and was greeted by a pissed off barista who insulted me before angrily taking the people who were waiting in front of me's order. Avoid this business, their terrible service and their overpriced and mediocre coffee will leave you frustrated and disappointed. There are better local coffee spots that have wonderful employees who treat people with some basic courtesy, which is apparently a struggle for the baristas at Epoch. I will never go here again and will suggest the same to people I know in the area. read more

I've been a regular (as in almost every day) customer for several years at this location. At a very cool location, they can get very busy, but professionally keep the line moving. Alway with a sense of humor, and kindness. And let's face it, people wanting their coffee can be grumpy and unreasonable at times. Keep it up Epoch, love y'all. read more

Great place for a quiet early morning coffee. The staff was so nice and the coffee was delicious.

got the cold brew 1/2 mojo and it was super good! they offer 16 and 20 oz sizes which is nice as some of the smaller coffee shops don't offer size options. they offer a cold brew mojo which i guess is a little sweeter than the 1/2 but i thought the 1/2 was the perfect amount of sweetness. the inside was so cute and had a bunch of plants and local art for sale. they also offer a reusable cup program which i didn't ask for additional info but good to know they offer a sustainable option! read more

Epoch (on Far West) has become one of my favorite coffee shops in Austin. Lucky for me, it's walking distance from my apartment! It's really hard to find a coffee shop that consistently has great (drip) coffee. If that doesn't sell it to you, it also has a decent sized parking lot, and its very roomy on the inside. The vibe that it gives off is unlike any coffee shop that I've been too (in Austin). While it's a really clean place with a lot of natural light, it also has some grunge to it. It's hard to find a coffee shop (with tasty coffee) in Austin that isn't completely pretentious, but I feel like Epoch is a good happy medium. They have outdoor seating, but it's always to sunny to sit out there. I'm hoping that one day they will put up a tarp, so I don't have to go to Starbucks when it's too crowded! Anyway, give them a try :) read more

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

What a horrible experience. I came here to try out new neighborhood coffee places and this place won't let you inside at all, no ordering outside without a mask... and then gives you coffee and cream separately and the stevia isn't stevia... it's a fake sugar... probably worse for you than actual sugar. I dipped my sleeve in the coffee in the car trying to mix it myself.... I wish I had gone to Mozart's cafe like I did yesterday because this place may as well be in the shitty parts of New York. Won't be coming back here even post covid. I should have trusted the low stars on yelp... read more

Epoch was a unique coffee shop. They ran out of coffee! The venue, service and iced tea were ok. read more

I have been to this coffee house a few times in the past. It was always less than average. I continued to go there because I try to support neighborhood small businesses. However I went there last week, and I had the worst service experience I have ever had. Even worse, a manager was present and witnessed it. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ANY COST. read more

(5) stars customer service and friendliness of the staff. (3) stars for the drinks I've had so far. (1) star for how uncomfortable the chairs are. Seriously guys, get better chairs. ...unless you don't want customers there for hours at a time using your WiFi. Which I get. I've been here a total 7 times in the last two months. Five times I've had a regular latte, the other two times I've had a dirty chai. Sometimes my coffee is really great, other times it is "eh." It just depends on the barista that pulls the shot and/or steaks the milk (depending on if I get iced or hot). Overall Epoch on Far West is a great place to escape your office for a day, or to just catch up with a friend. I will definitely keep going back. read more

I have an embarrassing confession. I was pronouncing the name of this adorable and helpful coffee shop on Far West Boulevard the same way you say, Epic. It finally took me raving about this spot to a friend for them to ask, 'Do you me mean, Eee-Poch?' Yep, it's pronounced with a long E sound and not at all like Epic. Nevertheless, it's great. And I need to work on my listening skills. After the first visit, I was a little bummed to be greeted with no available seats nor outlets. The second visit was better. The updated open and airy spot with had more outlets. Some even hanging from the exposed, load-bearing, industrial beams that form the spaces ceiling. Plus, they added on an outdoor seating area that's even covered for those super hot and sunny days. The staff is informative and friendly and the coffee is delicious. They don't have a huge variety of coffee shop eats or pastries, but what they lack in quantity, they make up for in quality. I'm lucky it's on my way back from my little guy's school. I'll be working from here more often! read more

I've been a long time patron of this coffee shop. Always order the same drink: 2 shots of espresso I add a splash of half and half to. (My drink of choice for the last 2" years. Today was told they were going to start charging me for the two tablespoons of half & half I add to my espresso. I know opening a second location is expensive but don't take it out on long time patrons and accuse them of 'making a latte' for the price of espresso is unprofessional. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I work near by wanted to try somewhere new tried epoch highly recommend I got white mocha coffee and a delicious banana strawberry bread u have to try it read more

Cool location. Not bad coffee. Register personnel was fairly short and corrected me twice. Asked what type of bean my espresso was and I was told it was like a blend.... Good latte art. Cheers! read more

Although not a problem for most, this is a deal breaker for me.. they will hassle you to put on facial covering as soon as you walk in. I can't remember the last time this was an issue anywhere else (over last 6 mos). For me, this means I won't be returning. I do respect their right to enforce this as they are a privately owned business. This policy is not for everyone. Thanks. read more

I was super excited when I found out Epoch had a location less than 5 minutes from my apartment but when I spent some time here, I think I'l still be driving to the other locations. There's nothing to rave about here, it's a pretty typical coffee shop, typical coffee and typical pastries. I was really disappointed in their lack of outlets, and their hours. They are open from 7 AM to 7 PM, and if you're a typical Austinite who works 8 AM to 5 PM, and then gets stuck in Mopac traffic on the way home, there's no way you can pay this place a visit during the week. You would think they would want to stay open a bit later for more business right? I didn't have a horrible experience here. I came in super early on a Sunday to attempt to get some work done, and I snagged a table next to an outlet. I ordered a breakfast taco and a coffee and started working. I think I killed like 10 mosquitos/ fruit flies before I decided to leave. I'm not even grossed out by bugs, its just really annoying when they're buzzing around. So here are my proposed changes: 1) Change your hours 2) install more outlets 3) get more food options 4) figure out your fly situation read more

I'm all about businesses needing to cover their expenses but I'm still trying to wrap my head around how I was just charged slightly under $9 for a small bottled water and pb&j sandwich. Especially since the sandwich isn't even organic (no bells and whistles). The staff was nice but floor around tables is dirty (appears to be dried playdough and plastic bottle Cap). The price thing is the clincher for me though. Not cool. read more

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

First off, the baristas at this location are better than any others at the other location. They're super friendly and welcoming. This location used to be a Jiffy Lube so there are floor to ceiling windows that bring in beautiful, natural light. Cons: The hours are awful. A ton of students live in this area so for this place to close at 7pm, doesn't make sense to me. It makes me question what the point of this space is for. I'd love for it to be at least a 10pm closing. Tables are wobbly and minimal. It's not really an efficient work space unless you sit at the giant community table (which doesn't have plugs). Doesn't really have that fun, chill, humble Epoch flow the others have. Also, 17 parking spaces? Seriously. Pretty meh. Time will tell if it gets better. read more

Not impressed at all. Gave it a try. Rude employees, overpriced and underwhelmed. Hoping for better but I won't be back.

The atmosphere for this particular neighborhood is wrecked by questionable music played too loud. I couldn't converse with my teenage son, which was the reason I ventured in. There's also no way I could focus on any work or reading, though the large tables seem to invite as much. Finally, I personally don't like being aggressively hailed when I come in. I'm not much of a bro. A head nod or plain "hello" is good. That said, the product is good and the build-out of the new place is nice. The neighborhood needs a coffee shop, so I hope they find a way to make it more inviting. read more

A cup of coffee is $2.50 and they charge $1 for refills... not cool for a coffee shop imo. Nice new location with lots of light, 2 big community tables, lots of outlets. read more

Cons : Please change the hours and put more outlets. In the age of technology, this Epoch is forcing its customers to read a real book, write with a real pen on real paper, all BEFORE 7pm. Screw your laptops, e-readers, and anyone that works a regular 8-5 job. The community tables are good or bad, depends on your social/ personal space level. Pros : good customer service, good coffee, WiFi. Good for an in-n-out coffee run. read more

I have no idea why anyone likes this Coffee Shop. Staff is rude and not friendly at all. Food is horrific. None of it is made onsite AND they keep their sandwiches for a week in a fridge. We have been their twice and never a good experience. I think what is really telling is you never see anyone from Epoch management respond to reviews on Yelp. Why? Apparently they don't care. Good news is plenty of other choices in our neighborhood! read more

Super new coffee shop in the old oil change building across from Doss Elementary on Far West. Chic, airy, calm vibe, and great coffee and baked pastries. Pizza shipped in from East Side Pies, at least when I was there. A bit of outside seating. Busy, busy on a Monday morning. I like! Nice addition to the area. read more
