Evolve Cafe

Description xxxxxCurrently boarded up, what was once a cheerful coffeeshop is, at the moment, a burned-out husk of building. Closed for renovations, there is as yet no word whether Evolve or some other establishment will return to fill this space. Description (Old) xxxxxTucked down an alley, this out of the way coffeeshop is easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. Unassuming from the outside, its inside makes up for it -- spacious, with abundant seating and plenty of plush couches and cosy armchairs along the room's edges. The coffee is good, the prices are cheap, and there is a definitive alternative vibe to the room, from the music they play to the art that hangs on the walls. The real draw to this place, though, stems from its client base -- one of the very few businesses in the city that is welcoming to mutants, Evolve has become widely popular as a hangout with that crowd, and it is quite common to see them among clientele and employees both. At night, the thump of music can be heard from above, coming from the adjoining nightclub of the same name that sits over the coffeehouse. Notes & Trivia xxxxx Evolve's owners are not, despite plenty of rumors, mutants themselves. Just sympathetic. Evolve used to be a print shop. When they renovated, the beams were stained with ink half an inch thick. Important Events xxxxx*An anti-mutant firebombing burns Evolve down, killing three and closing the coffeeshop.	Place Name Neighborhood Lower East Side Type Coffeeshop Mutant-friendliness Extremely welcoming; known in the mutant community as a safe hangout.
