We’re proud to partner in May with Edmond Mobile Meals to support homebound seniors and disabled neighbors in our community.

In 2025 alone, they served 94,370 meals through home deliveries and at the Edmond Senior Center, providing not just food, but care, connection, and dignity.

With ongoing challenges like government shutdowns and reductions in food benefits, the need is real and growing.

Food is our love language, and giving back is at the heart of what we do.

Here’s how you can join us:

⭐️Visit Evoke, or on Tuesdays in May and we’ll donate 10% of sales.

⭐️ Donate directly online (link in comments)

We’re excited to share the impact and celebrate together at the end of the month —but we hope you’ll consider supporting this mission year-round.

Let’s make sure no one in Edmond goes hungry!

Just add syrup.

Arctic air continues to ooze in across Oklahoma. Cold, windy and dry through today with sunshine! Perfect day for coffee!!

As we reflect this Thanksgiving season, our hearts are full. When we became the owners of Evoke just six months before the world shut down in 2020, we’d be lying if we said we weren’t terrified. If you were with us then, you probably remember us doing everything—making drinks, taking orders, cooking food, washing dishes, wiping tables—whatever needed to be done. You might even remember our kids helping out, because Evoke truly became a family effort overnight.

What we never could have imagined was the outpouring of support from this community. You showed up—day after day, month after month—and helped us not only keep Evoke going, but thriving. Because of you, our little coffee eatery has become an extension of our home and our family.

Sometimes your visit is just a coffee. Other times it’s business, or remote work, or brunch with a friend. And then there are the big moments—weddings, receptions, baby showers, birthday celebrations. No matter the occasion, it means the world to us that Evoke has become a place where so many of life’s moments unfold. Sharing those moments with you has been one of the greatest joys of these last six years.

Thank you for taking care of us, our business, our amazing staff, and our family through your continued support and patronage. It’s not just coffee, and it’s not just food. It’s a community. And we’re endlessly grateful to be part of yours.

Happy Thanksgiving, from our family to yours.

Robert + Lori
