Our Story

A Passion for Coffee and Community

Brothers, Rick and Randy Evans, founded Evans Brothers Coffee in the summer of 2009. As passionate skiers, the idea for the company developed over long chairlift rides at Schweitzer Mountain Resort during the winter of 2008/2009. Randy had honed his skills in high-end specialty coffee for over a decade, training alongside some of the industry's best, while Rick brought experience in business development, luxury resort sales, and marketing. Together, they set out to build something unique and enduring.

Crafting Coffee with Care

At Evans Brothers Coffee, our mission from the beginning has been to elevate the coffee experience for both our customers and wholesale partners. This starts with sourcing the world’s best coffee from passionate farmers and producers, using top-tier roasting equipment to bring out the unique flavors of each bean, and crafting every roast with precision and care.

A Community Hub

Where Coffee Brings People Together

In 2011, we expanded our business by opening a café adjacent to our roastery in Sandpoint. This space allows us to connect directly with our community, showcasing our carefully roasted coffees while creating a gathering place that celebrates both our coffee producers and our local patrons. We aim to inspire through the simple act of sharing a great cup of coffee.

Building Global Relationships

For us, good coffee is a connector. Through the years, we’ve built long-term relationships with the farmers and families who produce the coffee we purchase. These relationships help us ensure the quality of our product and allow us to contribute to the future of specialty coffee. We are committed to fostering these partnerships and supporting sustainable coffee production.
