cafe evoke news + vol. 2

Our newsletter is out so in case you have not signed up yet to get it directly, here it is! Jenni is great, huh? Sweet... Summer seems to have come early here in Oklahoma; with temperatures reaching into the high eighties and nineties almost every day. Add to that the unusual (at least I'm told its unusual) 25+ mile per hour winds, (that make it almost impossible to walk outside let alone do anything active, like ride a bike) and you have an unpleasant start to a very long summer. Evoke seems to be facing its own headwinds of sorts as we battle customers perception of coffee and summertime. In this volume we will look at our new summer products, or rather a twist on an old classic, and our tribute to an ancient British tradition. What is summer without Lemonade and Ice Tea? I have to be honest, I don't like ice tea, but Jason LOVES it, as do many people in the South. I do, however, think that lemonade always tastes better during the summer. Knowing this we decided to try and take a new look at the classic drinks of summertime. We will now be serving delicious ice tea and lemonade with a hint of one of our all natural flavors. Try one of our specialties like a Jack Sparrow (lemonade, raspberry and mango) or Berry Berry (lemonade, blackberry and strawberry). Its a great way to cool off at any party this summer. Tea Time! As we enter the wedding season, by default we are also getting ready for all the showers thrown before the vows are exchanged. The most popular theme we have been hearing about lately for bridal/wedding and baby showers are tea parties - a time to gather at a local tea room just for the fun of it. The traditional British tea party exudes feminine charm and makes us feel like little girls again, if just for the afternoon. With this in mind we are giving our hostesses an opportunity to bring the tea party to their homes. With your Evoke Tea Party you will receive a variety of Fair Trade and Organic teas from Choice Tea company , classic white ceramic cups and saucers, and a tea server to serve you and your guests during your event. Granita What's this granita we are talking about? We are glad you asked! Granita is a frozen drink made of up flavored iced - similar to a margarita or slushy. Most people prefer granita with a fruit flavor like Strawberry, Raspberry, Cherry or Blueberry to name a few. It is a perfect addition to that summer party you have been planning. With 15 flavors to choose from (more if you get creative), Granita is sure to be a huge hit at your next event. While you are in the mood for summer, please give us a call or contact through our website and request a copy of our all new summer menu!
