Well, I just decided to write a short review on Epoch. This used to be the place to study before I discovered Bennu Coffee. It is very similar, but the crowd that hangs out here are graduate students and random suburbia-people. Type of food and drinks served are pretty much same as Bennu also. Try their italian soda though. The price is slightly cheaper than most coffee shops I've been to. I believe I know (at least by face) all the baristas since I've been there so many times (also day and night since Epoch is also a 24hr coffee shop). They are all very nice people and I get along very well. One of my friends got into an argument with one of the baristas once, which was very unusual. I actually think the staff working here provide better service than Bennu Coffee. The location is little far from West Campus or UT area, but many graduate students living in Far West area tend to prefer this coffee shop. Well, I also got to mention that it is hard to find parking or any space inside if you come before midnight. Epoch is not as spacious and you might have to share a table with some total strangers (but usually they are all cool & this is a chance to make new friends also if that's what you like to do). It worth a try.
Location: 221 West North Loop Boulevard, Austin, TX.
Contact: (512) 454-3762
Summary:
Pro - Good food and drink (non-alcoholic); slightly cheaper price; and good choice music for most of the time.
Con - Location (far from the campus), insufficient space.
Well, what can I say? I recommand Bennu over Epoch now, but this isn't a bad place if you are an owl (staying up late a lot).
