These guys are fantastic! Authentic, down to earth coffee. The employees are always so kind and have really good breakfast pastries and savory breakfast items from Taco Deli. It’s a great one-stop. I was there this morning while another customer (who cut in front of me) was politely asked to wear a mask and the team behind the counter handled the situation with grace. Epoch never disappoints and I will continue to get my fix here!

I walked out of this place because they refused to provide service if I wasnt wearing a mask...meanwhile there were three guys sitting in the lounge room with no masks no more than 5 feet from the counter and the lady in front of me wasnt wearing a mask...how does that make sense. So the virus doesnt affect people who are sitting down drinking coffee...but it does affect people who are standing up?!?!?!? Riiiiiight! Gtfoh man. Power hungry. Let it go.

We stopped by today, as soon as the world unfroze, between errands for some much needed coffee. Eric was friendly, helpful and efficient! He described the selection available today (keep in mind Austin had frozen weather problems) and other coffee shops we passed, one in the same shopping center, we not even open! I got a coffee and my spouse got a cold brew (ask about Mojo- its everything), both were perfect, just what we needed on a stressful, busy, morning after 7 days in the house due to frozen weather. Eric greeted each customer with enthusiasm and made us feel welcomed and appreciated, it was a great experience, I will definitely be back!P.S. I saw a t-shirt in the window, I think Ill have to get next time!

Great service and super friendly and accommodating staff

A nice little coffee shop nestled in a shopping friendly village. 4 stars because their internet bandwidth needs upgrades. 10/10 everything else!

Wish I had a chance to try any of their food or drinks. Unfortunately, they kicked me and my service dog out before we could even put in a to-go order. Luckily, Genuine Joe and Summer Moon are right down the street!

Beautiful art, free books, lovely people of all ages, many drink options including iced chai, and 2 or 3 vegan food options. Loved it. Thank you!

Great cool little hip coffee spot by Austin standards. Run by cool people, has enough seating and good collection of coffees and teas. The best part though might be that this is the only place I ever saw baristas using aeropresses along with other coffee equipment, I thought that was really cool. They have cold brew and matcha latte. The prices are actually low as compared to other coffee joints such as Houndstooth.

Awesome vibe here with lots of parking. Great music and tons of seating (by tons, I mean its the most Ive ever seen in a coffee shop). I just got drop coffee and it was exceptional. They use Ritual coffee which is a great coffee from SF. Staff is so friendly and seem to know a lot of the people who come in. Definitely coming back!

Customer service is hit or miss. Lots of seating inside and out. Really enjoy the patio seating on a summers evening. Great place to study.

Great place to get the work done ;) They have great seating both indoor and outdoor

I love Epoch coffee shops, the positive vibe and great music, what else do you need to get focused on your task? Yes, a dose of coffee that Epoch has the best ones.

Quiet spot to get some work done with a good coffee. Friendly staff and quick service. Miss the baked goods.

Took F o r e v e r ( I was one of only 3 customers)and was completely undrinkable. Mocha was LOADED with cinnamon -couldn’t taste chocolate at all. Yuck to say the Least

Great place to hang out. Really only coffee drinks, I didn’t see any food. It’s cool and the lights are low which

Best lavender latte!!!!

Always good service and coffee. I respect their Covid precautions but maybe time to resume for here in porcelain cups?

Always love bringing new friends here, like in this case a friend was in town from Pennsylvania. Firstly, the servers are great and very patient when youre not sure what you want. The food was wonderful! My friend was very impressed and looked forward to returning.

Nice place with good coffee. It gets too busy over weekends. Otherwise a good place to hangout or have a meetup with a small group

I like their coffee and it taste very good. They also have a decent selection of beans. However, the staff is where the suffer. They have this habit of being quite rude and short with me. Over the years I’ve been to this location several time and I have to say that I find the whole practice of asking for a tip before services rendered a bit odd as well.

Cool place to bring your work. WiFi is good and ample parking. Music can be loud for work, so bring your headphones. Typical epoch.

Lovely roast, nicely executed almond milk cortado, nice patio in back, beautiful art on walls, lots of seating space

Great selection of coffee and pastries, friendly staff. Theyre currently taking covid seriously - indoor space is completely closed (including bathrooms, although there are other businesses open nearby with public restrooms, such as Chipotle and CVS), you can order to go out their front window with a mask on, and take it home, or walk around to their lovely courtyard area in the back, which is never very crowded.

I cannot adequately describe how much I love this place. It is a true OG beacon of all that is good in Austin.

My girlfriend loves the coffee. The brownies are really really good. I really like the outside sitting area in the back, where bunnies hang out at night! Highly recommended.

Awesome coffee shop, awesome vibe. It is a beautiful place, their coffee is really good. It is a perfect local cafe. We just moved to Crestview, and hoping to go there often. Cant wait for COVID to be over so we can hang out there all day!!!! Great job you guys.

Coffee is good and service is great. Always great attitude. Space is good. They have tables inside and outside with some couches inside, which I love. Not the same vibe as the one on North loop but I still like it and its very nice. I think this one is more spacious inside than the one on North loop, if youre more of an since person.

Great spot with wifi. The pumpkin spice was great!

I love the way that they actually take time to make their coffee and the friendly environment.

Opesn 24/7, locates at the Village.Youd never go wrong with any choice of their coffee & drinks.

Awesome iced mojo!

If you were turned off by the other location - this epoch is for you. Unlike the busier north loop location, this one is far more low key with ample seating and rotating art. On nice days have your coffee outside or by the pond in the back.

Quality roasted coffee.

I love coffee and I love local businesses. I have been to all of the Epochs and they are all great. Each has its own unique feel and I like them all. They all have great coffee and friendly staff. I have only had good experiences there and I highly recommend it

Friendly staff and decent coffee. The main attraction is the long hours! so you will see a lot of people working on their laptops...so much so that it can be hard to get a table sometimes. Not as cozy as the other location of Epoch imo but like I said, the main attraction is the hours!

This is probably my favorite coffee shop in all of Austin. I pretty much lived here my last semester of graduate school. The couches are comfortable, there are plenty of outlets, and the tea selection is excellent.

Coffee is so smooth, the people are very kind, and they have tea available.

I’m updating this review one year later (leaving the original one there because I enjoyed writing it).I returned here after a year. 5 stars! It was the same experience - but the cashier was so pleasant and down to earth. I told her the story while she was taking my order. She said that if that happened, she’d take the drink back and remake it. Once she delivered it, she waited for me to sip it and asked how it was. So good I had to update the review.From the ashes, Epoch has risen once again.Original review:I used to come here all the time pre-COVID during my lunch break, and it was chill.Saturday afternoon, however, I was feeling like a pick-me-up, so I stopped by my favorite place in the area, Epoch coffee. Usually I order a hot soymilk latte, but today it was very hot so I ordered an iced almondmilk latte.With tip it came out to $6.25 .. okay, typical expensive coffee.What I got was an extremely sugary drink. My girlfriend ordered an Americano with almondmilk, and it was also very sugary. We couldnt drink more than a sip due to the overwhelming sweetness.As is customary in some parts of America, we asked for the shop to please remake it with a sugar-free milk. The feminine man at the cash register had quite an attitude, and argued with us about how its always been this way, and that this is what we ordered. When I told him that I used to order this all the time and it didnt taste like coffee added to a cup full of sugar, he replied that weve always made it this way.Finally, he seemed convinced that there was an asymmetry of information (when we say almondmilk we DONT mean almondmilk with 10g of sugar, but he does), and he goes to the barkeep to tell them to remake it without a sugar milk. Excellent.He comes back to the cash box and asks how are you going to pay for it?To be clear, he wanted us to pay again for a drink that they were remaking. No bar in NYC that charges $20 for a shooter would charge again for a remake, yet here was this small man, whom I had tipped, trying to charge us again. I told him that I was hoping that it would be remade as part of the prior transaction, but he says no, you have to pay again because we did nothing wrong.At this point, the manchilds attitude, as well as the disgustingly sweet beverage lingering on our tongues had soured our experience. He clearly felt the same way, and offered to simply refund our order and (implicitly) may we never see each other again.My girlfriend and I agreed, glad to be made whole by receiving the refund to our card, and we went to Starbucks across the street, where I paid $5 for the same drink.All in all it was a bad experience, but I chalked it up to Covid, the heat, and chance. These things happen, and I dont leave reviews over minutiae like this.However, today I was looking over my card transactions, and I see that he did NOT issue the refund as he said he was going to do. I was momentarily shocked, but then replaying the scene in my head, unsurprised.Thats what prompted me to leave this 1-star review - fraud. Based on my pre-COVID experiences, Epoch coffee is not to blame, but this employee, who manned (loosely-speaking) the cash register on 8/22 in the afternoon behaved in a manner that would impress only my communist ancestors, who communialized gold, silver, and automobiles from the rural peoples of Tajikstan to enrich themselves in the name of Lenin. Im happy to amend my review if he is fired, contingent upon a subsequent positive experience. Perhaps I will return after COVID, otherwise good luck out there. To anyone reading this, I recommend staying away during COVID season, as the main selling point of the coffee shop is the chill interior, which is currently off-limits (takeout only).

Fantastic cup of Hot Chocolate 👌

This place was an awesome local find. I typically stick to plain brewed coffee—which theirs is fabulous. I tried a vanilla latte here and it was to die for. They make their drinks with care, and I’m pretty sure they make their own syrups too. We went two days in a row when visiting from out of town. There are a lot of options in Austin, but this is one of the best tasting I have stumbled upon.

Great coffee. Great service. It was my last spot in Austin and I didnt leave disappointed. This place makes Austin even better.

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.

The espresso is excellent. Best cortado in N. Austin. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing. The seating is mostly low top 2 person tables with a couple couches in the corner. The cycle of art work displayed is always intriguing. Love the Village. Love Epoch.

Yes!! An eclectic coffee shop with an urban feel. Dont let the exterior make you cringe into thinking its a turn around and run away, quickly. Inside is a busy hub of activity between workers and patrons. For those seeking a little serenity, behind the shop is an open air patio for socializing while enjoying your shot of caffeine.

I love cozy atmosphere and comfortable couches here. The background music is not too loud so I can easily concentrate on reading books.

Craft coffee as I first experienced it. Great staff. Nice art on the walls. Good place for work or study

Fantastic chill atmosphere. Dont come here for high energy, at least in the afternoon. Feels like the part of the library where the cool nerds hung out. Great space to focus. Awesome black cold brew. Peaceful outside pond in back. This place is a hidden gem.

Amazing latte and cool place to hang out. Tons of seating, board games and books. One of my favorite places to grab a latte in Austin.

Great coffee and menu! Wonderful space for chatting and enjoying great coffee. I would have given 5th 🌟 if they hadnt had turned to music up later to where it made it much harder to hear my friends talking with me there at our table. Whats that about Epoch?

Splendid place to grab some coffee

Nice place, but for whatever reason the coffee itself is not so good. I mean, I am no coffee expert, but I make my own coffee at home in an ordinary machine starting with Anderson ground beans, and its way better than what I get at Epoch.Now, that said, the place is friendly and pleasant, and the people are nice. Generally plenty of parking. Good selection of snacks, pastries, etc.

Great coffee. Good atmosphere. The staff and work space is better at the Far West location.

Great place for relaxing and studying or reading a book. Friendly staff and correctly brewed tea (not over steeped or burnt). Unfortunately parking is a bit of a hassle due to a shared parking lot with the ever so popular Alamo drafthouse.

Great place for a quick coffee and also for a few hours of working on your laptop. The hibiscus mint tea is always a refreshing choice in the afternoon. Sometimes the regular 2G WiFi is a bit inconsistent speed-wise, but the 5G has seemed to work pretty consistently for me.

Great vibe. Awesome coffee. Love the specialty drink Mojo. Not sure whats in it but it is delicious!

Amazing staff. Such a great vibe. If you are ever having a bad day, come to this location and they will lift your spirits and soul and the drinks are absolutely DELICIOUS! Best coffee I’ve had in awhile. Forever a customer!!!!

One of the only spots up north to get a well steeped pot of tea. The smells of coffee and espresso are divine and the crowd is always chill. I enjoy spending time here.

Great coffee. Always busy, I guess its great for them, but if you plan to study or do work, good luck in finding a table or outlet to do so.

This place doesnt look like much from the outside but once you go through the doors, youll find yourself in a cozy cafe. Plenty of seating and couches available for studying or conversation. Theres also a back door that opens up to a deck in a small garden area. Try the Lavender Mocha, you wont regret it.

This is a normal coffee place. The guy behind the counter knows that you don’t know anything about coffee and why are you even here. Then you order a coffee and it is delicious. So you go back and take the abuse time and time again. I love their coffee and I have sat out behind the store and played Pokémon while watching people do what is done at normal coffee spots, people pretending to do important work.

Ive been trying to find a coffee shop to post up at the do lots of work and stay a few hours, Burris place isnt it. By 11am out of everything on their minimal food menu and really didnt care. Atmosphere is eh... Staff, eh... Seating, eh... I left after 10 minutes.

Generally I prefer the North Loop location but when school is back in session it can be pretty crowded. Circa 13 is a nice alternative thats not too much further north. The staff has always been nice and often quick (depending on the length of the line). I love their Mexican mocha and my only critique is that they dont have nearly as many electrical outlets as they should.

I love this shop, Ive been going since they opened a couple years ago. Ive also frequented the other location for many years prior to the opening of the Village location. They serve quality coffee, my lattes are always delicious! The staff is super friendly and polite. The roasts are smooth, never bitter.. I appreciate the time taken by the staff to prepare each beverage correctly.. weighing the shots, setting timers, etc.. I know its what makes it all so great. These guys are awesome!

A hidden spot!! Location isnt too bad. Coffee is great. Apple cider was my favorite and their muffins were incredible. Really liked atmosphere and friendly service.

Love the coffee/lattes/breakfast tacos/muffins/pizza/etc., which is obviously reason number 1 to go here. Love the baristas, who are all attentive, nice, and make me feel at home every time I go. Love the rotating art work on the wall. Love the outside seating in the plaza behind.Epoch is a classic Austin coffee joint, and this north location is a great place to stop at with plenty of parking.

Quaint little coffee shop located near multiple entertainment spots. Go see a movie at Alamo or get dinner at one of the delicious restaurants nearby, then grab a cup of coffee.The vanilla latte I ordered had a smooth espresso taste and wasnt too sweet.Ive only been once, but look forward to going back to take advantage of the lounge areas or tables to get a little work done.

I always come to Epoch to do school work. It has a small lounge area, bar/tables, and a quiet back patio section. It doesnt get too loud and it has a nice atmosphere. The staff is friendly and the drinks are great.

Well...... a coffee place just by the movie theater, tons of space and good music, and a shelve of games n books(I guess), might not be appealing to everyone but I loved it...Amongst the few first things I really liked in my starting days in Austin.I wonder if they would mind me staying for entire afternoon, reading my book.......

One of the must go coffee shops in Austin. Their traditional macchiatos are as good as the macchiatos in Italy. The staff is very friendly, the ambiance is so relaxing, and their backyard is very peaceful to spend some time.

Really good coffee. I have had only espresso and cappuccinos, but every time has been top notch. Both the espresso, including one espresso roasted by Epoch, stand out from other shops to make it my local favorite. I have 1.5 years experience barista experience and this place rocks coffee.

Good place for some quality coffee and pastry. WiFi is decent and can do some work from here when needed. Usually pretty packed so seating might be limited during main work hours.

Great little independent coffee house. The real secret to the place is the shady, pleasant courtyard out back with lots of greenery and a koi pond with water features. The most peaceful spot in the neighborhood.

Cozy shop has a great variety and the guy who made my coffee was really knowledgeable and friendly. Cool spot. The drip was really acidic so if you like that then bonus!

Lovely outdoor patio. Some of the best espresso drinks in town, as well as great tea options.

Friendly staff, great drink selections (and plenty non caff options for pregnant moms like me), cozy atmosphere. Good place to go alone for quiet time or bring the kids and hang out on the patio in the back.

I dont know how to rate this place exactly.The server was quite friendly and helpful. Seems to be clean and neat shop.Should be able to get free refills if a doughnut shop can on common hot coffee but cant.Maybe I never figured out how to order exactly same flavor of coffee each time.I much prefer this to East shop. This seems friendly while east seems cold, angry or mean. (If that makes sense)Really odd entrance signs. One has Muslim photo with caption something like Everyone is welcome. Just below that is 30.07 sign limiting some members of the community. To their credit I will say thank you for not posting a 30.06 sign. I dont get open carry usefulness but bugs me when signs conflict. Sign ought to read most folks welcome.

Not quite as charming as the original Epoch but this place is still great. They make a good cup of coffee and it has plenty of seating for studying and AC. Smoking area is out back where it doesnt impact you. Nice place.

Staff is really friendly and knowledgeable on coffee and tea. Very efficient even when the place is super busy. Be careful of the cold brew, its fairly strong!

Smallish inside but wonderful staff. Good internet connection with free WiFi and theres tables on the back patio that you can spread out onto if you want more space and the weather is nice. Delicious vegan and gluten free options as well.

They recommended some iced caramel something or other drink to my friend claiming it was delicious, and it was disgusting. We both thought it tasted gross. The iced mojo is pure sugar, couldnt finish it. Wasnt impressed with the iced coffees but the hot drinks might be OK. Cozy space. Not the worst but there are so many coffee shops in Austin, why bother?

The coffee was delicious and complex; the baristo was engaging and knowledgeable about the coffees. The atmosphere was soothing, with a quiet little Asian-inspired courtyard outside. We enjoyed it very much.

Great coffee. Great staff. Great ambience. Loved the managment allowing people a nonprofit, (Florences Comfort House? I think ?) To put up a display for Amplify Austin fund raiser. Great community relations.

Great for working on your laptop or getting together with friends. The coffee is delicious.

I loved this place so much. The environment was very chill and I was able to finish studying. They have some very unique coffee Blends that I havent heard of.

Baristas are kind and caring!

Very cool coffee shop in an up and coming area.If you like high quality coffee, you will enjoy the atmosphere and drinks here.Great date spot or just somewhere to hang out after youve watched a movie at Alamo Village.Highly recommend.

I am a tea person, and there tea is OK, but there coffee is super tasty. My boyfriend gets coffee here on the regular and I can’t resist a cup of joe or there iced mocha every once in a while. In my opinion it is less busy than there North Loop location, and the patio out back is adorable.

I’m one of those “coffee” drinkers who prefers Mochas and does not need a caffeine fix daily. Due to this, I’m picky with my drinks, but an “I’m no expert, but I like what I like” picky. Epoch Coffee hit the mark with its Mocha, and I loved the vibe inside with many people reading, working on laptops or just meeting over a nice drink. I like! You will most likely like as well!

Epoch is my favorite coffee shop Ive ever been a customer at. So much so that I worked there for awhile. Its an incredible company filled with incredible people who make incredible coffee (and teas and other delicious drinks!). This place is especially great because theres a cozy corner with couches if you want to be lazy, lots of tables and counter space in the rest of the lobby if youre feeling productive, and a patio out back if you want to bask in the sun (if its sunny anyway). I also use it frequently as a before/after pitstop for trips to the nextdoor theater.

My favorite brew of coffee in town. I always try to make cold brew coffee at home but it never turns out anywhere close to Epoch. I go here to work 3-4 times a week and enjoy the cold brew toddy and awesome atmosphere. Super vibrant place, always something going on. The staff is friendly, restrooms are clean, and did I say the coffee is amazing? Try the Iced Mojo when you go, it is a special drink I have only had at epoch and it rocks. If you have a low caffeine tolerance take it easy because everything is strong, just the way I like it.

Nice staff. Limited beverage and food selection. Wifi issues. Electrical outlet loose.Pretty packed for as little as they offer as a coffee shop. Must be doing something right.

Decent place to get a coffee but they close way too early. When they first opened they closed at midnight so changing hours and closing at 10 couple years ago has rendered this location close to usless. Also they have a hard time keeping desserts in stock which considering their options are better than the Alamos dessert options has always seemed like a misstep.

Always smells great in there and lots of friends recommend cappachino. I enjoyed my bottle of Coke. Sit out on patio all the time. Makes a good lemon cake!

Quality service and atmosphere. Great coffee and selection. Decently priced. Will be back in the future.

Great small shop with excellent pourovers, tacos, and pastries. The regular drip they brew blows anything the Starbucks a block away makes. Easy to get in and out of. Amazing staff.

Good coffee! Nice, quiet place to just chill, read, play games, talk. And, of course, the coffee is amazing!

Great coffee, atmosphere and staff. Plenty of parking, but is competing with Alamo Drafthouse. I appreciate the personal feeling of local shops vs. cold chain shops.

Ive had coffee here twice and it was good. Counterstaff are super nice. Love the cookies but they are a little on the expensive side. Still free wifi which is where its at. Oh and its at the village which has that awesome pond and that glorious tree. Go check it out ,you wont regret it.

Today was my first time here and I have to say I loooove the cool vibe in here. The service is excellent, I was explained how they make their coffee and that they make all their own flavors. You can really taste the difference, i had a vanilla cappacinno....Ive never had one like this! Amazing! My hats off to this place, Ill be in town for a few weeks and will be coming here to try more of their stuff. Price is very affordable. Thank you guys! :)

I love it there. Great place to get some work done....if you can find a table. Most of the tables dont have plugs near them so if I dont show up before 6pm, I wont be able to find a table with a plug. So thats a bit frustrating. Other than that, I love it there. Great coffee, staff and snacks.
