If you’ve ever had an important paper due and needed just the right amount of caffeine, incidental chatter, and scruffy chairs to hit your deadline, then North Loop’s Epoch has been your friend. But the coffeehouse offers more than just a convenient college assignment crash-out spot. Examples include their multitudinous brewing methods offered at reasonable prices, purchasable Adventure Time-inspired tarot art, and this writer personally recommends the cold-brewed hibiscus-mint tea during these hot summer days. That they’ve been at this awesome journey for 20 years is deffo worth boppin’ to 20 hours of music, drink specials, and vague but intriguingly described “water activities.” Cheers to another 20 years. – James Scott
