The treat people keep coming back for at Evelyn's Kitchen is the Pudgies, which the company names as its signature sweet. The shop describes itself as a small bakery cafe in East Harlem. Expect desserts, pastries and coffee, plus plated dishes on both the savoury and sweet side.
A lot of the cooking here goes out the door too. Its website lists holiday gatherings, production catering for film crews and corporate events among the work it takes on. The company says it is family-owned and woman-led.
This is an early-bird spot: it opens at 4 am every day but Monday, with full days midweek and short mornings on the weekend. It holds a 4.6 rating from 155 Google reviews.
Reviewers talk most about the catering and the holiday meals. They praise the fresh food, the tidy packaging with easy reheating steps and a helpful, friendly staff, and the Pudgies come up again and again. The one small gripe was wanting a bit more turkey in a holiday order.

Top-notch catering with a great crew. Everyone from the head chef to the drivers were incredibly helpful and professional. Perfect for a high-end corporate gig or film shoot.
I have used them for annual fundraising event and they give amazing service every year. Ayala makes great suggestions and is flexible to feedback. EK is a true partner in our events and we love them.
Evelyn's Kitchen catered my son's bar mitzvah and did an amazing job! The food was delicious -- very fresh, with lots of fruit and vegetables as well as herbs accentuating natural flavors. The staff (servers, etc) were incredibly helpful, professional, and went above and beyond the tasks at hand. Attention-to-detail was top-notch. I'm incredibly grateful for the fabulous service, food/drinks, and even design/decor. We kept hearing how great the food was and how awesome the staff was! Thank you so much!!
