The coffee is great, the store is a bit grungy - if you like it like that. I’m not a fan of their sweets but I got for the lattes and the beans.Parking: Street parking on Washington is not available but side streets have it and there’s a small lot. A little difficult to get out of of you’re not a confident reverser.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps. Not sure about the restroom

Coffee is coffee, , right? Hmmm, maybe not true. I travel regularly between Colorado and WI and have yet to find coffee as expertly and finely 'crafted' as EVP's. It is so remarkable in quality in my opinion, that I have it shipped 1,000 miles rather than settle for the over roasted (burnt flavor), bland and characterless coffees I have thus found during my travels. Bear in mind that flavor is in the taste buds of the beholder, but after over 8 years I have found none better. It is much like comparing beer in some respects, One can drink the grocery store brands or one can go with a micro brewed craft ale and thus it is, in essence, like comparing colored water to a rich and flavor crafted ale. So too the analogy applies to the uniquely flavored EVP coffees. My go-to varieties are the Sumatran, Bali Blue Moon and Expresso Blend, and find blending among varieties yields additional flavor experiences. My advice to EVP's roasting technique is the old saying "it ain't broke, don't fix it". A truly quality standout product.

Hands down best coffee in the city. They roast their own beans and they really know what they're doing. Quality ingredients, and well made drinks. Some of the best espresso I've had outside of Europe, the barristas know what they're doing. Many of them have worked their for years (they keep employees, which says something). The granola is fantastic, and I LOVE the cherry almond scone. Comfy chairs, great ambiance, cool regulars. Its by far my favorite place to get coffee in the city.
Tried to stop by today at 2pm & was greeted by the employee who began to tell me she wasn’t feeling well & closing early (usually open until 4). There were obviously other customers still sitting down but now I’m being sent to the west side to get what I need?

Need coffee fix? Fill it at EVP Coffee East. Outlandishly friendly staff and walkable location from Tenney Park. Space is ultra cozy, airy and feels like having tea at grandmas living room. Today's roasts were from Dark to Light... Campfire, Sumatran, African and Mexican blend decaf. Can't wait to return for some pastries. EVP Coffee East 20 oz coffee really crushes. Their Campfire was the best tasting, nutty more than floral and not burnt like other large chains

EVP is a great coffee place. This particular barista stirred the espresso- I don’t prefer. It’s a barista thing. Great Kombucha at this location- try the raspberry.

Driven past this coffee shop for years but today I decided to stop in. What an EXPERIENCE! Reminds me of a coffee shop we visited in Zanzibar. Had a café au lait with Guatemalan coffee. Wanted something different and it was so good. The barista was amazing. He was more than willing to explain to us the different coffee beans and their unique tastes. He also explained how they roast their beans in-house! Will definitely be back.
The best!
