New Coffees Brewing at Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters

Brewing exquisite coffee is the specialty of Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters, a new coffee roasting company in downtown Sandpoint. Even before their grand opening party slated for October 16th, they were voted one of the favorite businesses at the 2009 Business Fair and are becoming the talk of the town.

Like a winery, Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters takes an Artisan approach to their craft, focusing on sourcing exceptional beans from farms using only sustainable practices and roasting in a style that highlights the many flavor nuances of each individual coffee. Their coffees can be purchased at restaurants, coffee shops, markets, and directly at their Roasting Studio, located at 524 Church Street in downtown Sandpoint by the old Granary building. Individuals can also purchase with a Coffee Club, similar to a Wine Club, with special discounted and limited Roaster’s Reserve coffees to sample.

Additionally they host an active event schedule partnering with local artisans, musicians, local nonprofits, and other businesses. Neighborhood Tastings are held the second Saturday morning of every month where the community can sample, learn, and provide feedback about their coffees.

Owners and brothers, Randy and Rick Evans share a passion for coffee and living life to the fullest. Roast Master Randy refined his craft alongside the gurus of the industry for a decade, and Rick’s background includes 10 years in Hospitality Sales and Marketing. Their collective experience allows them to serve both wholesale partners and individuals on a level above what they are accustomed to.

“We want to engage our community through our passion towards coffee and life, becoming a homegrown business that Sandpoint can be proud of,” they said. “We want to raise the bar for coffee quality while bringing attention to the farmers around the world that bring us their exceptional coffees.”

The public is invited to come to their grand opening party on Friday, October 16th at their Roasting Studio with live music with Ray Allen and the Monarch Mountain Band, a dance party with DJ Boomerang, fire dancing, Photography Expo, food, and coffee tasting. The fun never ends at Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters. On October 29th they host a Halloween Bash with a “Yappy Hour” to benefit the Panhandle Animal Shelter and will host other special events. The public can also come to their Roasting Studio on Tuesdays through Fridays from 9 am to 3 pm or Saturday mornings.
