Epoch Coffee

Epoch Coffee on West North Loop has been pulling shots for nearly twenty years, the original of three Austin shops and the only one open all night. The room runs twenty-four hours a day six days a week, closing Monday at midnight and reopening Tuesday at six. At three in the morning the bar fills with UT students, remote workers chasing deadlines, and night-shift nurses cutting up from Mueller. Bookshelves stand fully stocked at every wall and outlets sit at every table by design. Iced Mojo is the signature, a cold-brew cocktail Epoch has been pouring since the start. The Peach Matcha Latte is what regulars order in summer. Pastries come from East Side Pies and Green Cart, longtime partners. Order the iced Mojo if you came for the drink that built the original Epoch. Order a rosemary-salt bagel with a drip if you want the late-night order regulars repeat at four in the morning.
