Evelyn's Kitchen

Visited on a Friday after having dinner a couple blocks away on a whim. Me and my partner bought the triple chocolate brownie, devil dog pudgie, and smores pudgie. Over all SOOO GOOD!!! Service was really friendly and atmosphere was homey. I recommend this if you’re near East Harlem.

Lemon pepper wings and the pudgies are incredible! The Mac and cheese never misses in my experience. I’ve ordered a lot online and have been here in person plenty of times and it’s been a go to for me anytime I’m visiting in Harlem I have to grab something from Evelyn’s Kitchen. It’s probably my favorite food spot on the east side. Definitely worth checking out.

Banana pudgies are the best!!! Put smiles on my whole team’s faces!!!

Once upon a time, YEARS ago, I DM’d Ayala and told her that “I live in Texas but I tell ANY and EVERYone to go there if they mention they live in NYC or plan to visit. Twice my friends went to get me the Banana Pudding Pudgie whilst visiting there but both times the cafe was closed. ONE day I will get a pudgie!” I mentioned that I was temporary unemployed and couldn’t afford the shipping cost. Just like the kind heart that she is, she asked for my address and sent me a box of pudgies of every flavor that they made and luckily it was a holiday season, and I even got to taste the Pumpkin Spice Pudgies. Since then, any time any of my friends go to New York, I have them pick up a batch of pudgies for me as a “souvenir” . I’m still obsessed with the Banana Pudding Pudgies and will only plan my next trip to NY around whether Evelyn’s kitchen will be open.

Ayala is so sweet. And the food at EK is just delicious. So recommend!

Love everything about EK! The food, the service, the story.
