Editorial Review for Epoch Coffee – by Andrea Abel
In Short
Mismatched thrift store tables, chairs, sofas and funky '60s lamps punctuate this eclectic coffeehouse's honey and lemon colored walls with blue accents. An ample covered patio affords space for al fresco conversation and smokers. As indie music pulses inside, the glow of laptops and tell-tale earbuds of MP3 players suggest more studious endeavors. Menu items include a large selection of teas, Texas Coffee Traders coffees, sandwiches, soups and pizza from East Side Pies.

There's nothing that Epoch offers that another nearby coffee house like the Flightpath doesn't, except maybe a view of the graveyard. The coffee is fine, but nothing special. The atmosphere is fine, but nothing special. The artwork is so-so. The service is awful. And it isn't awful in a way where everyone laughs that the waitress just called you "hun" while making fun of your car. It was awful in the way that the first time I went to Epoch, the guy at the counter overcharged me and made my drink wrong. It was awful the secod time I went when the woman at the counter asked me to bus someone else's table before I sat down. Of course, they may have already fired those employees, but I will always recommend the more established and all around better Flightpath just down the street.

I overheard the owner, whom I think may actually be a Hobbit, say he hoped that it would not become the kind of coffee shop full of students with laptops. Well, thats what you can expect here. but the staff is great, great set up and overall a really cool place to hang with friends. The coffee is good, even though they dont seem to roast it themselves. But one thing is really awful, the MoJo, dont try it.
Pros: good coffee
Cons: students with laptops
