Filipino and Lebanese-owned + Edmonton-based. neverthesame was built from a love for creating. Before becoming a pop-up cafe, we were immersed in building things by hand and exploring creative outlets. From vintage graphic tees of your favourite athletes, to custom hand-tufted rugs, to now your favourite matcha bar! That same obsession with detail and creativity became the foundation of everything we do and learn today.

​

We serve matcha, breads, and more. Our matcha is made using four grams of ceremonial grade matcha sourced from Yame, Japan.  If you like your matcha with nutty, creamy, and white chocolate notes... Then you've got to try a sip.
 
"Change is okay. You’re neverthesame anyway."

​

neverthesame is more than a name to us. It’s a reminder that life is always changing, and so are we. You learn, you grow, and you explore. The person you were years ago is not the same person you are today. Our interests evolve, our ideas shift, and the world moves with us. Instead of resisting change, we learned to create through it. 

​

That mindset is at the core of everything we do. Every pop-up, every drink, every project becomes a reflection of where we are in the moment. Nothing stays the same forever

​

You can find us at pop-ups, markets, and events across the Edmonton area. Our focus is to create spaces for gathering, connections, conversations, and memories.
