Let’s cut to the chase: Edmond’s Evoke isn’t just a coffee shop. It’s where you go when you want your latte to taste like a masterpiece and your avocado toast to look like it belongs in a food magazine. Opened in 2012, this spot has mastered the art of caffeinating creativity while serving anything but basic brunch.
Location: No GPS? Just Follow the Aroma
Find Evoke at 103 S. Broadway in downtown Edmond—a street that’s equal parts historic charm and modern flair. Parking’s a breeze (yes, even on weekends), with spots lining the street and a lot tucked behind the building. Pro tip: The shaded front patio is prime real estate for people-watching or pretending to work on your screenplay.
Store Hours: Your Day Starts (and Ends) Here
Evoke is open daily from 7 AM to 5 PM and caters to early birds chasing sunrise espresso and afternoon stragglers clinging to their iced matcha. The kitchen stays fired up all day, so “brunch” is more of a state of mind than a time crunch.
The Menu: Brunch for Food Snobs (And the Rest of Us)
Evoke’s menu reads like a love letter to fresh, local ingredients. They’re not messing around with freezer-burned muffins here—pastries come from nearby Twisted Tree Bakery, and the chef-driven dishes rotate faster than a TikTok trend.
Must-Tries:
- Avocado Toast: Smashed avocado on Twisted Tree sourdough with an optional egg upgrade. Insta-worthy and filling.
- Meat Lovers Omelette: For when you want breakfast to double as a protein shake.
- Blackberry Mint Espresso Tonic: Sounds weird, tastes like summer in a cup.
- Salmon Club: Because why settle for basic bacon?
Vegetarian? Vegan? They’ve got you covered with almond/oat milk lattes and a potato leek soup that’ll make you forget about cheese (almost).
Coffee: Liquid Gold With a Side of Swagger
Evoke takes its coffee as seriously as Oklahoma takes football. They source beans from indie roasters nationwide, and their baristas could probably free-pour latte art blindfolded. Fancy a classic cappuccino? Done. Feeling adventurous? Try the espresso tonic—it’s like a spa day for your taste buds.
Vibe: Part Café, Part Art Gallery, All Chill
Walk in, and you’ll see exposed century-old pipes dangling above sleek marble tables. Local art splashes color on the walls and playlists lean toward “I’ve-got-great-taste-in-music” vibes without the pretension. Seating options include:
- Comfy couches for deep conversations
- Bar stools for solo coffee philosophers
- Outdoor tables for sunny day lounging
Yes, it gets busy. No, they won’t side-eye you for camping out with a laptop—unless it’s peak hours. Then maybe share the table.
After Dark: The Nighttime Glow-Up
Here’s the twist: When the espresso machines quiet down at 5 PM, Evoke transforms into Edmond’s coolest event space. Want to host a wedding shower? An indie band showcase? A “I-survived-Monday” party? For $600, the space is yours for two hours (up to 50 guests), complete with coffee bar service and optional beer/wine. Pro move: Add chef-prepared hors d’oeuvres to keep guests too busy eating to judge your karaoke skills.
Coffee Catering: Caffeine on the Move
Do 50 coworkers need espresso, STAT? Evoke’s mobile coffee bar rolls in with professional baristas, house-made syrups, and enough oat milk to drown a horse. Starting at $650, they’ll caffeinate weddings, office parties, or even teacher meetings (bless you).
Final Shot
Evoke nails the trifecta: great coffee, food that doesn’t phone it in, and a space that’s as Instagrammable as it is laid-back. Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast sandwich or renting the place for your next big moment, this spot proves Edmond’s got more up its sleeve than suburban stereotypes.
