Apparently, this cafe is on the top of the list of coffee spots in Austin. Nestled few miles from the bustling University of Texas in Austin, this 24/7 coffee haven is a true gem for caffeine enthusiasts and students. As I stepped into this cozy establishment, I was instantly drawn to its vibrant atmosphere. The place buzzed with activity; students engrossed in their textbooks, friends catching up over steaming cups of coffee, and some focused on their laptops, lost in their own worlds. One of the first things that caught my eye was the abundance of parking spaces, a rare find in this bustling city. However, a word of caution – steer clear of the Breakaway Records business parking and disabled spaces unless you want your vehicle towed away. The coffee here is simply divine. With each sip of my chai latte, I could taste the authenticity and the meticulous craftsmanship that went into every cup. Their commitment to quality extends beyond the drinks; they offer a variety of coffee beans for purchase and have an enticing selection of merchandise, including coffee mugs and t-shirts. It's a coffee lover's dream come true. What struck me the most about this place was its versatility. Whether you're here to study, work remotely, or simply savor a cup of coffee, it caters to all. I chose a sunny Sunday afternoon with temperatures in the mid-80s to prepare for my certification exam. It was a splendid experience, with the perfect blend of tranquility and energy in the air. I've already made up my mind to return on a weekday, trading my home office for the chance to meet new faces and soak in the vibrant ambiance once more. If you're an ardent coffee connoisseur or just someone in search of an inviting spot to relax and work, this 24/7 coffee place near the University of Texas is a must-visit. It's no wonder it's known for serving the best coffee in Austin. "We filter coffee, not people"🤎 (please go thru the pictures I've uploaded)

We must try to wake up believing everyday is epic…I needed some help with that this morning so I looked for Epic Coffee. Eureka! What a cool little divey cozy coffee shop. The service was excellent and quite Epoch as I was greeted with a smile. We all need that in the morning. The cafes style fit the “grunge/artsy” feel that most outsiders believe to be Austin. The coffee was wonderful. Hot. Had great body and went down smoothly. Similar to what you’d look for in a mate. The pricing is right where you’d expect unlike going to the grocery store and having to open your banking app in the checkout line. I’d recommend grabbing a few unique tacos to go with your Joe and make the most of your experience…no wait…make your experience Epoch.

Free wifi, decent amount of outlets and plenty of coffee to choose from. Being from San Antonio I’m biased with my tamale experience but wouldn’t recommend theirs :/ coffee was great! Super busy in the morning but then a nice place to get work done in the afternoon

Came here to have morning coffee. We had a latte and an iced latte. Dine-in drinkware was nice. I liked my latte and my wife's iced latte was fine but maybe iced wasn't the best choice since it was pretty cold inside. Service was friendly, atmosphere was pleasant, and there were inviting and comfy seats inside and ample seating outside. Almost missed the place because I didn't see a business sign on the building--but I did spot their sign by the road. Parking was easy, though. Nice coffee shop.

Had my friend pick up coffee for me from here just now, I’m convinced they either gave her a cup of milk and sugar and called it an ice coffee or they must have watery coffee. Why did she accept something that looks like a piña colada instead of a coffee? I DONT KNOW! I am disappoint.

Parking is absolutely terrible. But the people that work here are nice and the coffee is good. They’re open 24hrs so that’s great. The coffee shop is also pretty cozy and they have outside seating. The room we sat in had a lot of graphic art of women’s bodies, definitely not kid friendly.

The cafe had a decent ambiance, but the service was slow and the coffee was just okay. Not really worth a second visit.

My first visit to Epoch Coffee and I really liked. Very good expresso coffee. I had the blueberry scones and also a tamale. All was yummy —- How would I not come back? That coffee is a piece of art!

Best coffee I've had in Austin- hands down. More notably, it's the best customer service I've found in Austin. There are so many lovely, caring employees I could name, but if I had to choose only one, it'd be Zach. When he's not already preoccupied, that man will have my drink made before I've even had time to make it to the front counter. He gives thoughtful customer service in ways that would never even occur to me as a fellow service industry worker. The caring, attentive nature of everyone at Epoch will have me givin' y'all my money for a long time. <3

Such an amazing coffee spot; the baristas are super kind and have such a cool vibe. The ambiance is 🤘🏻 *chefs kiss* there. I love the food and drink options. My boyfriend got the hibiscus mint tea iced and then I bought their pumpkin spice decaf, it was very good. I like my lattes more coffee forward than flavor—this brought the coffee taste with just the perfect splash of pumpkin. The hibiscus mint tea is really strong with a mint flavor (which I love, since hibiscus usually overpowers it). Love the plants around the room, they’ve got gorgeous varieties that brighten the space. Bathrooms are also nice. 10/10 recommend.

Ordered vanilla latte: was expecting more flavor of coffee n vanilla and less water. Provided with sugar syrup not just sugar which is good for cold drinks. 24hrs open which is good to hangout. Good ambiance. Also, indoor n outdoor seating. Personally I felt chilly but that’s good for Texas summer. Also promote local art work so that’s nice.

Awesome place! No indoor dining right now due to covid cases, but ample outside seating. The bagels were incredible! I know not hard to mess up but they really made them good here. Tea was also delicious with some cool options. Would definitely come back!

I love this place. Great for getting work done. Coffee is awesome as well. Also the area it’s in is chill. Bc of its popularity sometimes seating can be a little tricky

I got an iced coffee with hazelnut syrup and oat milk. It was pretty good! The hazelnut syrup had a weird flavor but not so weird i couldn’t drink it. The rosemary bagel was also good- just a normal bagel. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating as well as a ton of outlets. Great place for studying or work!

This is one of my favorite places to chill in Austin. It's really it's own hun of the community. I've met friends, been to performances advertised on it's walls, and met friends, as well as play Magic with friebds (EDH of course). Highly recommend!! P.S. You haven't lived life until you've tried their Oatmeal Creme Pies. Trust me.

TLDR: above average coffee, good prices, immaculate vibes. I've been here several times, and just haven't gotten around to writing a review yet. The coffee is really good. It's not the best in town, but it certainly does the job well, and their portion-to-price ratio more than makes up for it. I really do like the atmosphere of the place. it seems to be in a perpetual state of "almost crowded". It makes the place seem alive, but I don't feel like I have to fight someone to get a seat. I also really love places that give you glassware if you're staying there to drink. not sure why, I just like the feeling of it. It's a bit out of the way, but certainly worth a stop through.

Been going here since about 2013. The staff have always been amazing and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming in a very Austin sort of way. You can get breakfast tacos, kombucha, sandwiches, brownies, muffins, and some strange drink called "coffee." I'm not sure what that's about. Sounds suspicious. The layout is perfect, with places to sit outside that are both covered and open air. Oh and the chalk graffiti bathrooms are something really special. Take a minute in there and join the crazy conversation.

24hrs coffee shops are essential part of urban life and a clear line between towns and cities (per me). Plenty sitting area, communal style, outside. Inside there is a chance to have your “own” space, if you are lucky. I appreciate the option of savory pastry. Not all of us out-there running on a “sugar rush”. As it usually goes, such place is a magnet for all the misfits => great ppl watching spot.

I absolutely love that this place is 24hr. Since I work night shift, my nights off can get rather boring. Now I have a place to come chill. My barista Alexis was fantastic and very friendly. This is my little hangout!

A cute place to chill with friends late night as it is 24 hours. It's a good vibe to study as well, you'll find bunch of students on laptops. Matcha tea isn't great which I tried.

In town visiting a friend and we came to Epoch to finish some work and enjoy their drinks. I recommend the hibiscus mint tea. Service was great and quick. Really loved how chill the vibe was here, and there are some fun shops right next door to check out.

TLDR: aesthetically quirky, deliciously satisfying coffee. I’m glad I put this place on my Austin coffee stop list. I ordered a macchiato, after confirming that it’s a traditional Italian style macchiato. It was pretty nice. The espresso was well balanced, and had a beautiful little milk foam heart on top. My second drink was a cappuccino. I can’t say the espresso is the best espresso. I’d say something like second tier top shelf. The aura of this place is roomy and chill. The staff were friendly but professional. Got to the point without much extra banter, but in a refreshing way. The space is great. Outdoor seating on at least two sides of the building, and two large spaces for working inside. This whole area of Austin here on the street feels somehow artsy meets privilege meets progressive meets poverty. It’s a very welcoming vibe. A record shop and vintage shop share the rundown shopping center, and all along this road is more of the same. The clientele here was so diverse. I saw the biker (cyclist and motorcycle both) the student, the homeless (based solely on superficial observations)the artist, the business professional, the “soccer mom”, and the remote worker. The vibe of the place and a good cup of coffee makes this is a fun place to stop.

The service was not great. The guy who helped us was rude, and uncaring, and rushed us to make a decision. The dessert selection was not appealing. I would recommend looking at the dessert area first before you purchase. The cold brew coffee was regular and Horchata Blended was not good - too much cinnamon. The atmosphere was chilled.

Great place. I remember coming up here from Houston in the middle of the night one time and seeing the coffee shop full of people! I still go here. Delicious coffee. The jam biscuit was terrible. I asked to heat it up but it still didn't taste good. Could've been a bad batch, or their bakery just isn't up to the mark. But they are a coffee shop and they make great coffee. The vibe is good. My friend even worked there one day and really enjoyed it. Good place to chill or study or work from.

My favorite third place in the 512. I met some great people and love the message of inclusivity in this space. Leaving a review specifically today because the playlist was amazing. It was like a jazz/funk fusion and it put me in my work grove immediately while bobbing my head. 10/10 whoever's playlist that was please send it 11/9/23 at 1pm.

Coffee is delicious, the atmosphere is great, and it's open 24 hours a day. Service was fairly fast and staff was nice. It's a great place to hang out with friends and talk for a couple of hours. Overall, it was the best coffee shop i have been to.

Who doesn't like a warm fuzzy 24/7 cafe? I had the best mellow time with some friends after dancing in a bar. The cafe had some nice music and good plants hanging from the ceiling. I loved the hot chocolate for a change. I typically havent liked hot chocolate anywhere in Austin, but it was really good here. I asked for a strong hot chocolate and it tasted really nice

It is so nice when I find places that are open until late! You guys are the best!!! Super friendly and welcoming place, I had a super delicious olive oil cookie with a mocha, my night was nice and it got better after going to Epoch Coffee, I’ll definitely come back!
