Sandpoint, Idaho based coffee roaster Evans Brothers Coffee was among ten coffee houses in the United States recognized by USA Today’s 10 Best Reader’s Choice Award for Best Independent Coffee Shop of 2024. These 10 independent coffee shops were selected by an expert panel and voted by readers as the best in the U.S. for their cozy atmospheres, friendly baristas, and unique menus. Evans Brothers placed 3rd on this esteemed list, and was recognized for both of their cafes… in downtown Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and the Roastery and Cafe in Sandpoint, Idaho.
Evans Brothers has been roasting coffee in Idaho for over 15 years (since 2009), and has played a big role in elevating the coffee culture of North Idaho and the Inland Northwest. They are the only Idaho coffee roaster recognized by USA Today’s list. Evans Brothers has also been the recipient of the prestigious Good Food Award 4 times, more than any other roaster in the region.
“Winning national recognition by a household-name like USA Today is quite an honor. We strive to create special experiences around coffee and to impact each and every customer. Our cafes are centers of community and connection. While USA Today chose the nominees, it was our loyal customer base that voted us into the Top 10. We are so fortunate to feel the support and love of our community, and to get to work in a field that has the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.” Rick Evans
