EVC Caffé recently debuted at 317 E. Fifth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue (a few storefronts to the west of the 9th Precinct).
The small shop sells a variety of homemade empanadas (vegetarian and vegan options available) and coffee drinks, fresh juices and smoothies. A lunch menu includes several soups and salads (we haven't spotted an online presence just yet).
During this soft-opening period, the hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, with weekend hours coming.
The manager said there are also plans to expand with a dinner service.
While there are several seats inside, this seems more like a to-go operation ...
