{{Tab}} | {{Tab}}Spacious and open, this coffeeshop has a somewhat industrial feel to it, grey resin floors below and exposed-beam ceilings that have been painted up in a dancing swirl of abstract whorls and starbursts, a riot of colour splashed against a white background. The walls alternate between brick and cheerfully lime-green painted wood that extends to the paneling beneath the brushed-steel countertops. There's an abundance of light, though rather than windows (which are scarce) it comes from plentiful hanging steel lamps. The walls here are home to plentiful artwork available for sale; though the roster of prints and paintings and drawings and photographs changes on a regular basis it has one thing in common -- all the artists displayed are mutants. | ||
{{Tab}}The seating spaced around the room is spread out enough to keep the room from feeling cluttered. Black chairs, square black tables that mostly seat two or four though they're frequently pushed around and rearranged to make space for larger parties. In the back corner of the room is more comfortable seating, a few large black-corduroy sofas and armchairs with wide tables between them. There's a shelf of card and board games back here available for customers to sit and play. | |||
{{Tab}} | {{Tab}}The chalkboard menus hanging behind the counter change frequently, always home to a wide variety of drinks (with an impressive roster of fair-trade coffees and teas largely featured) though their sandwiches and wraps and soups and snacks of the day change often. An often-changing variety of baked goods sit behind the display case at the counter halfway back in the room, and the opposite side of the counter holds a small selection of homemade ice creams. A pair of single-user bathrooms flanks the stairway in back of the cafe; at night, the thump of music can be heard from above, coming from the adjoining nightclub of the same name that sits up the stairs above the coffeehouse. | ||

*Evolve' originals owners were not, despite plenty of rumors, mutants themselves. Just sympathetic. | |||
*The pair who bought the shop after the bombing, renovated, and reopened it, though, are definitely mutants. Though [[Alyssa|Aly Carter]]'s slitted pupils are much more subtle, [[Shane|Shane Holland-Zedner]] is extremely ''blue'' and extremely fishy so there is no need for speculation there. | |||
*Evolve used to be quite lax about checking IDs at their nightclub. Since their new ownership, though, they're a ''good'' deal stricter about underage drinking. | |||
