If you didn’t know, our two favorite things are coffee and bikes (you know, the kind you pedal).  We watch all the races, we have indoor bike parking, we get to sponsor a great group of dudes and dudettes with Team Undiscovered and now we can proudly where our colors on our own ride!

We are happy to introduce the 2013 EVOKE Cycling Kits!  

 This is super short notice but our plan is to get the first run on these ordered next Monday or Tuesday.  It will take about 8 weeks to get them so if you are interested in wearing EVOKE blue, shoot us an email and we will include whatever size and however many you want!  Prices are as follows:

Jersey’s: $72.00

Bib Shorts: $96.00

These kits are made by Champion Systems and should be pretty awesome once they get here.

So, shoot us an email through our site (www.CafeEvoke.com) and we will get you taken care of.

Remember, order quickly!

We turned 1.  With age comes changes and that is exactly why we are making a few of them around here. Trust us. We think it is for the best!

The first major change will take effect on June 1st, 2013.  Here is what to expect coming up!

1. Hours:

As you know, our current operating hours have us closing at Midnight Thursday through Saturday. We know some of you really love that and this will hurt but starting June 1st, our hours will be as follows:

Sunday // 8a - 5p

Monday - Saturday // 7a - 10p

We know, we know.  That is a cut in our weekend hours.  We are entering summer time and being in a college town (yes, Edmond is a college town!) we see a big change in drinking habits.  So, this is one of the main reasons for the hour changes.  Also, the next few changes talked about below are reasons as well - it will allow us to better serve you throughout the day!

2. Menu

Remember those hot sandwiches you loved a year ago when we first opened?  This is for you!  We will be making some changes to our menu (expansions really!) and we are super excited about it.

While the hours will be changing on June 1st, this menu change will take a few more days to get into full swing (we want to be sure there are no glitches before you come in for better food!).  Here is what you should expect though!

Breakfast:

Items like Breakfast Burritos, more pastry options, biscuits and gravy, waffles

Lunch:

Items like our old school grilled cheese, hot ham and cheese and more!  (keep in mind that will see continue to serve our $5.00 box lunch!)

Evenings:

Cakes, pretzels, dips, etc…

Saturday Mornings:

Mimosas! 

We think these changes will make a better EVOKE!  We hope you agree. We will keep you updated on the menu changes and when all of that will go live.  In the mean time, we hope you enjoy the great things Beka is putting out in the case and the $5.00 box lunches we have been serving for the past months.

Our goal is to best serve you, our coffee drinking friends!

See you soon.

We are huge promoters of pedal powering to work. We do it. Nothing is better than that early morning breeze and escape before a busy day that only a bike commute can give you.  No matter if your commute is in work clothes and 1 mile or if you can gear up for a longer 10+ mile commute - the freedom it gives you is nothing but perfect.

The great thing about “Bike to Work Week” is that we can celebrate pedal transportion to all places - not just work.  It’s about Bike to School, Bike to the Post Office, Bike to the Party, Bike to get Coffee, etc…

EVOKE is happy to be a part of one of Edmond’s largest Bike to Work Day events. Here are some details for this ride happening tomorrow:
