A wonderful surprise on our long drive to the Very Large Array. The Latte Macchiato was perfectly prepared and tasted like from an Espresso bar in Italy. The sandwiches also looked yummy. And all this with a good Jazz music in the background.

We were delighted when this place finally opened. Great sandwiches and the espresso milkshake really is to die for. Top quality ingredients in their food, friendly service, a bathroom that works. They have it all. Plus, nice collection of local art and books for sale. Stop in, you won't be disappointed. Free street parking. Highly recommend.

Excellent local coffee shop that also offers art by local artists. Food is good, milkshakes are unbelievable. Great friendly service. Magdalena needed a coffee shop like this for a long time. It also sports a view of Magdalena Mountain.

Evetts is a great place to stop by for a fresh and savory sandwich. I love ordering there affogato. It’s strong and sweet! I have no idea where he purchases his pickles but they are crunchy and delicious! I have always disliked pickles in till Evetts Cafe.

The espresso poured over a scoop of ice cream was so good and just right! The egg sandwich and the BLT were amazing and perfect portions, we weren't stuffed but definitely weren't hungry. Even the kids enjoyed the food!

I am obsessed with Evetts! My morning routine is a 20 oz mocha with a green egg breakfast sandwich on a croissant with bacon, green chile, and Tillamook cheddar. Then in the afternoons I get an espresso milkshake which is the perfect pick me uppper. Cafe is in a pristine and historic building. Love the preservation put into the place.
