    Local artwork inside the cafe.

    We passed through Evanston on our way to Colorado and picked this cafe because of the name (lol) and also the food looked incredible in the photos. We got breakfast sandwich bagles and they were incredible! Fresh and very clearly made from scratch to order. The space reminded me of a cafe you'd find in Venice, CA. There is a yoga studio upstairs and art made by local artists for sale all around. The cafe has loads of space so we didn't feel like we were in anyone's business while we ate. The coffee was smooth and easy to drink. But the gold star is really for the service!! I love to talk to people and get to know about the local life when we travel and this cafe in Evanston was easily one off the friendliest and most open places I've been too. If you're not sure where to go, choose For Pete's Sake.

    Great place, it's really warm and cozy, I hear the bagel sandwiches are really yummy, so many flavors of coffee, the Wi-Fi works pretty well, I just wish there were chargers to plug-in phone or computer. There's lots of seating areas, a lady that works upfront is really nice. There's even toys here for kids to play with, books to read, Wyoming merchandise, looks like locally crafted goods are here for sale and artwork. Cute place.

    This is a kitchen sink omelette we split. Only $12!!!

    Great food and friendly staff. Really enjoyed the atmosphere in the restaurant. Tons of cool gifts for sale! We got one kitchen sink omelette and split it. Tons of great food for $12!!!!

    This place is so cute and cozy! It's huge inside with lots of places to sit. It was nice and quiet to work in for a few hours. The coffee was tasty and there was TONS of different flavors to add to your coffee. Unfortunately it was short staffed but I was still able to get a bagel. The guy working was so kind and helpful.

    What a great coffee shop. We came in and I was amazed at how much room Pete's Sake has inside. We ordered a couple of coffees. They were hot and tasty! If you are looking for a good cup of Java in Evanston, For Pete's Sake is the place to go!

    Love finding small town coffee shops when on road trips. For Pete's Sake had the friendliest barista possibly the owner (didn't ask). The place had a line but my first thought was the coffee must be good. I ordered a plain latte and it tasted perfect. I was only there for the latte but I noticed delicious looking sandwiches walking to the tables with big slices of watermelon. I wished I had found this place around lunchtime. I stopped in for my 2:30 pm pick me up. If I'm the area I'll definitely stop in again.

    Dirty Chai's!!!

    Good option with nothing else around. We almost didn't stay because it's pretty rough looking on…read morethe outside. But inside is what matters, and the service was great and the food really good. The full menu is available all day, so I had breakfast and my husband had lunch. Would stop again if the timing were right.

    This location is one of only a few restaurants in the area. We were staying in Fort Bridger and…read moredrove over to have a sit-down meal. The building shares an entrance with the truck stop/fuel station/convenience store. This makes it a bit confusing as to where the restaurant is located, but we found it. We had seen on other yelp reviews that this wasn't the cleanest place, and that is certainly true. The day we visited, the dining room was filled with flies. They were so pesky, that it made it difficult to sit and wait for our food because they just wouldn't leave us alone. A fly strip or two may have helped quite a bit with this issue. We sat at a low table, but there was bar seating as well, which most of the locals chose to use. Our table was a wood surface coated with a clear varnish that was sticky to the touch and likely not very cleanable. The condiments were very dirty and gross. We chose not to use them with our food. There was only one waitress working and one cook, and there were 3 other people besides us dining in. The food still seemed extra slow coming out. It appeared that the cook only worked on one order at a time, so we watched as each patron was served until ours came out. I ordered the Malibu Chicken Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries. My sandwich didn't really have much flavor, but it tasted fine. My fries were not too greasy as can be the case with sweet potatoes. I was hungry and devoured my meal. My husband ordered the chili burger with tots. He said the chili was mediocre and the tots needed salt. I thought the tots had an old grease flavor that I did not care for. I don't think we'll be back again unless something changes.

    We came for breakfast on a Sunday morning and they were really busy. We got on the waiting list…read moreand then stood outside until they called our name. The seating is in one large room. We were seated at a table in far end of the room. Once seated it's hard to get in and out from the wall seat because the table are pretty close together. I ordered the Spinach, Mushroom and Swiss 4 Egg Omelet. They asked me if I wanted 2 or 4 eggs and I chose 4. As a substitute for the potatoes, I opted to choose the avocado which came as a slice 1/2 of avocado. For my toast option, I chose the single pancake, but could also have chosen a scone. The scone wasn't on the menu as a option, so I missed this when I ordered. My omelet was very flavorful, although a bit dense. I attributed that to the 4 eggs fitting into a 2 egg form factor, but I really don't know that for sure. The avocado was a good complement to the omelet and worked out very well. The pancake was delicious. There was syrup on the table and butter came on the plate. I gobbled it right down and thought that I maybe should have got another one. I have eaten here before when I was in the area, and will likely return again when up here. The busy nature of the restaurant is offset by the good quality food.
