El Huabal

About This Coffee

El Huabal is a specialty coffee from Peru, grown in volcanic soil at high altitudes. This coffee is produced by Cafe Solidario, a collective of smallholder farmers. It features traditional varieties including Typica, Caturra, and Bourbon. The coffee undergoes a unique fermentation process involving cherry fermentation followed by depulping and a second fermentation stage. The resulting cup is balanced with floral, citrus, and tropical fruit notes, offering milk chocolate flavors when prepared as espresso and bright citrus and cherry characteristics when brewed as a pour-over.

Even Coffee

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.
