Craft coffees and many other choices are available at Evans Brothers Coffee opening 7 a.m. to noon Thursday in the Fifth Street side of 504 E. Sherman Ave. The front of the building, which earlier was KVNI Radio, is Community Bank.

The menu includes several espresso drinks, loose-leaf teas, chai, Nitro cold brew, house-made syrups and signature drinks, affogatos (ice cream and espresso), fresh local pastries and hot breakfast and lunch items. The craft coffee is roasted in the Sandpoint location, and the micro-lot coffees are dripped to order on a Marco SP9 single-cup brewer.

Owners Rick and Randy Evans founded Evans Brothers Coffee over long rides on Chair 6 at Schweitzer Mountain Resort in the winter of 2008-09. They relocated their new families to North Idaho drawn by the sense of community, family and outdoor adventure. Their coffees have won many awards and are offered at Pilgrims’ Market and restaurants in the Inland Northwest and Boise and as guest roasters around the country.

Rick said, “Cd’A is a natural extension for us. We look forward to getting involved in the community. The evolving foodie culture fits well with our coffee.”

Key people include Zach Schnick, manager; David Hawley, assistant manager; Daniel Gunter, director of quality, and baristas Ashley Cugno, Sarah Thole, Mandy Cook and Mario Martinez.

Coeur d’Alene winter hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays. Phone 208-930-4065. Check www.evansbrotherscoffee.com.

Sherman Hardware to close after 68 years downtown

This store began as Coast-to-Coast Hardware at 320 E. Sherman (where Pita Pit is now) in 1954. It moved to what had been the Roxy Theatre building (most recently the Wiggett Antique Marketplace) at 115 S. Fourth St. and had to level the sloping floors of the theater to be a store). And 30 years ago it moved to 1010 E. Sherman Ave. as Ace Hardware and recently became Sherman Hardware.

After being a family business for 68 years, owner John Montandon will retire and close the store at the end of January. The building will become The Cause Church, moving from 105 Indiana Ave. Hours at Sherman Hardware are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturdays. Phone 208-664-6221.
