Evan Franca

Business Development

Evan is a Brooklyn-born entrepreneur and restauranteur who has always had a passion for quality food and hospitality. With over 15 years of restaurant experience, he started his first food business (a sausage cart) as a student at SUNY Binghamton with $800. After its success, he went on to open his own cafe and bar, Café Oasis which served a wide range of local and seasonal beers and snacks. Eventually, his hometown pulled him back in and he opened BKLYN CREPE, where he serves fresh juices, smoothies, crepes, and salads. BKLYN CREPE recently moved to a new larger location in Park Slope where Evan has since expanded his operations to include ice cream with his newest concept called BKLYN CREAM.  He's very excited to be a part of the Food Future team and make a positive impact on our food system.
