Even Coffee was opened in late 2024 in Montreal's Mile Ex neighbourhood by Andrew Werbowyj, who previously founded Not Even Coffee in Toronto in 2019 and spent time roasting with Fjord Coffee Roasters in Berlin. The roastery occupies a 1,170 square foot space on Rue St Zotique designed by Future Simple Studio, with all coffee roasted on site under the direction of head roaster Pauline Menard. Werbowyj's approach treats intention as central to every step, from sourcing single origin lots to developing roast profiles that range from light and floral to deeper, chocolatey expressions. The operation sells directly through its own location and ships across Canada, maintaining a small and focused range that reflects what is available seasonally. Even has quickly drawn attention in Montreal's competitive specialty scene, earning features in Canadian Interiors and NUVO for the way it integrates design, hospitality, and craft roasting into a single space.
