Epic sits at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and University Boulevard, and the inside of the café is also a meeting point—of flavors, colors and atmosphere. For hungry patrons, there are sandwiches, breakfast items, soups, salads and bagels to nosh on. For thirsty patrons, there are various coffees, teas, juices and ice cream floats. Those with a sweet tooth will be satisfied by the pie, cookies and sundaes. Vegan treats are also offered—but the food is only part of the picture. The walls are vibrant red and orange-yellow, with rotating art exhibitions. And if it is atmosphere you want, the café has a lively vibe, with students and other folks talking, reading, eating or just enjoying the show.
