I really adore this somewhat hidden cafe! The atmosphere is really bright and pleasant--lots of natural light through the windows!
The staff are very nice and will deliver your food to your table. The food is actually quite delicious too!
I got green tea, sweet potato fries, and tomato soup--the soup of the day.
The green tea was served in a nice teapot with a tea cup for you to pour it in, although it was simply a tea bag steeping inside. I didn't catch the tea they used, but it's a really nice strong green tea which is right up my alley. It came with a variety of sugars on the side for you to use as well.
I was most surprised at the sweet potato fries. I love sweet potato fries and these did not disappoint! They were baked but still retain a level of crunch on the outside. It also came with 2 dips: ketchup and tartar sauce. These are some of my favourite sweet potato fries--and for only $4!
The tomato soup was a bit of an adventure for me--I actually don't like tomato soup very much. However, I wanted to try it anyways, in case it was just that I haven't tried the right tomato soup. The soup was VERY rich and had some genuine and impactful tomato flavour. It was a very thick soup, much like a tomato sauce, and had more salt than I am accustomed. As I would have expected, it was not really my thing, so take my opinion of it with a grain of salt. I did appreciate this tomato soup over many that I have tried in the past.
Overall, Eve Cafe is a really lovely place to eat, relax, and chat. Great food and drinks and all at a very affordable price!
