Café Evoke

What a beautiful small business! Highly recommend checking them out.

I’m in town visiting family and this is the coffee shop that was recommended. I drink decaf, good decaf, and went to get one here and they did not have any decaf beans at all. Not only that but they said that they no longer order decaf beans, so I guess they’ll never have decaf? Very disappointing! It looked like a cool place and I trust the source that gave the rec but come on, if you’re going to be a good coffee shop you should have decaf too.

Beautiful spot! Great food. Super fresh and delicious. The owner is the chef, so you can tell he takes his time on making sure all his love is poured into each item on the menu. I wanted to rate this 5 stars… but I hesitated due to the place being a small space. You’re lucky if you get there early enough to snag a table. If not, you’re stuck eating outdoors or taking it to go. Which is fine, but there’s only a few tables available for outside dining. If you have a party larger than 4… get there SUPER early for a spot.

Pastry was incredible. I got a mocha and it was good. Definitely will be going back.

Evoke used to be THE premier coffee shop in the metro but following the management change the coffee quality and staff friendliness has significantly declined.

Great food, friendly people, and terrific service.

This cafe was cozy and wonderful. The food was delicious. I had waffles, toast and sausage and it was well prepared. The waffle was fluffy and perfectly cooked. I would come here again.

Cute little place in Edmond near UCO, very nice staff. Their coffee and food is great as well :)

Great Environment. Excellent Coffee. The triple berry scone is great too! I need to have breakfast here one day. It always looks super good as they're bringing it out to people. - 6 Years ago. 👆🏼

2015 - 2019

This has become a regular saturday destination for my family and I. We call it waffle Saturday. What Jason and family brought us was a place where we could all get something we love.

Nov 2019

We still love this place. It's changed a bit. Some ways great. Some ways not so great. For us at least. Everyone will think about this place differently. It’s still waffle Saturday. With some changes. Still a great place to be. And amazing food and coffee. One request: bring back the cinnamon waffle!!!!

Update Dec 2019

Egg toast is great. And if I can’t have the cinnamon waffle I will for sure settle for good cinnamon rolls. Had a cinnamon roll this morning. It was very very good.

Update Jan 2022

We haven’t been as often as we would like recently. Covid really made it difficult. But when we are I can say this: their staff is so accommodating to our family. We don’t know these people outside of the one time a week we come by. But man they have really made a team that cares. The food is still great. The coffee is good. But the service is next level. Thank you for making my family feel known and taken care of.

UPDATE MARCH 2023

Still great. Coffee has suffered a bit since switching to proud mary - middle state is just better coffee. Service is still good. But I do have some feedback.

Bravo on the cinnamon waffle. Glad it's back. A welcome addition to a great menu. And that's another thing. The menu is great. I love the waffle sandwich and always will.

The outdoor seating is incredible. On really good weather days there's nothing better than sitting out there. It's great.

Now some not so good feedback:

Please can we tell single people to not take up an entire 4 person table for themselves. There's bar seating all along the front area that's perfect for that. I never sit at a 4 top unless I've got people with me. I know that's more on the people than evoke themselves but they could ask or help families a bit. Not sure how. But it's difficult to fit a family at bar seating.

Today: I asked about cinnamon rolls. Ya know. The best thing they make here. And I was told 20 mins. Perfect. I'll be back in 20 I said. I ordered $50 of food and sat with my family. Waited for a black coffee that never came. But other than that it was a normal Saturday. I figured. I'll grab that coffee when the rolls come out. They're busy and I don't want to bug them. So when they came out I stood in line. I was maybe three people back. No one ordered cinnamon rolls in front of me. So I thought we were good. Got to the front and tried to order one. THEY'D PRE-SOLD THE DANG THINGS AND THEY WERE ALL SPOKEN FOR. Since when can we order them before they come out?! Maybe tell me that. I would've ordered one earlier. 😕

Anyway. Still love this place. Any business has their good and bad days. Hoping this was a rare occurrence. I know the staff has turned over a bit. I'm hoping the values and vision the older guard had can make it's way into these new people. Culture can shift over time. But I'm confident they will be fine.

Update March 2023 part two.

Welp. Walked in today. 4 separate single people sitting at 4 separate 4 person tables. There were two families standing with their kids at the bat.

Aaaaand we walked out… it was easier to get a seat at sunny side down the street.

Great coffee and vibe. We will be back!!!
