"The EVP Coffee Shop in Fitchburg recently rebranded itself as the Oasis Caf\u00E9 to highlight a growing number of food options provided by this location. While it still offers a full arsenal of EVP-powered coffee drinks, this caf\u00E9 also offers a variety of well-composed sandwiches and, are you sitting down, pelmeni of Paul's Pelmeni fame. \n\nOasis has maintained it coffeehouse roots, there are plenty of comfortable seating options, generally occupied with young professionals tapping away on their phones or laptops. A set of large windows flood the interior with natural light and there is a small outdoor seating area for those seeking an al fresco experience. The staff I have interacted with is top notch, \u00FCber-friendly and incredibly accommodating.\n\nThe menu offers a variety of options. In the morning, Oasis serves up breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches. From 11 am to 3 pm, the full sandwich menu is available. During my last visit, I enjoyed their roast beef and provolone offering ($8.25) with a cup of the tomato basil soup ($2). The fact this sandwich came with a healthy does of caramelized onions, pretty much assures my review will carry at least a four star rating. The horseradish sauce needed more of an accent and less of a major flavor note. It just overpowered the subtle flavors of the roast beef and provolone. While I appreciated the fresh sourdough baguette, the crust provided too much resistance with each bite. As I tried to bite off a piece, the sandwich contents would fall out the other side. The roast beef also needed a pinch of salt to accentuate the beef flavors.\n\nI felt the dairy element of the soup muted the fresh tomato flavor. The optional Gorgonzola cheese added a needed flavor boost since the fresh basil was applied sparingly.\n\nThe other food option is Paul's pelmeni, which has a well-deserved cult following in Madison. While I could wax poetically about this delicacy, I'll just link provide this link to Paul's downtown location so you can read the glowing reviews of legions of devoted followers (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pauls-pelmeni-madison)\n\nSince Oasis Caf\u00E9 is close to my office, it will definitely become a frequent lunchtime destination."^^ . .
