Our Team
Josiah Evants
Josiah is co-owner of Midtown Coffee and carries an intense passion for great coffee and roasting coffee as well. You'll see him on bar many weekday mornings and roasting at our Dardanelle facility. Josiah was involved originally in launching MIdtown Coffee back in 2015 under the original owner. In 2016, he and his father Mark purchased the business and began developing more espresso-based offerings, Cold Brew, quality loose leaf teas, and NItro Coffee.

Kerstyn Evants is the sister of Josiah and now a co-owner with her dad and brother. She came on staff after Josiah was severely injured in a motorcycle accident and decided to stick around. She moved to manager at our Dardanelle drive-through in January 2019 when it opened. She is also involved and oversees our baking from the Dardanelle location.

Kerstyn Evants
Mark is the proud father of Josiah and Kerstyn and the behind-the-scenes paperwork guy for the most part. Occasionally he'll pop out to assist the baristas on register or deliver products to one of the locations. His greatest love in business is getting to work with family and share in the success of Midtown. The mom of the family is Christina whose main job is latte and "Scarecrow" tasting...as well as trying any new drinks the baristas make.
