Reason 01

An exceptional specialty coffee

At Carrera Café, we make no compromises on the beans. Exclusively specialty coffees — beans scored above 80 points on the SCA scale — from small family farms in South America, Africa, and Asia.

The result in your cup: an espresso with precise and balanced notes, a creamy latte, or a delicate filter coffee with floral aromas depending on the day’s origin.

Reason 02

A magical location in Petit-Champlain

Located at 72 Champlain Boulevard, Carrera Café holds an enviable position in one of Canada’s most beautiful neighborhoods. On the terrace in good weather, you’ll enjoy your coffee with a view of the Saint Lawrence. In winter, the cozy interior welcomes you after a walk through snowy Old Quebec.

Reason 03

Passionate and trained baristas

Mastery of extraction, knowledge of origins, daily grinder calibration. Our baristas take the time to explain what makes each coffee unique and can tailor your drink to your preferences. An artisanal approach that makes all the difference — like a perfectly orchestrated pit stop.

Reason 04

An authentic local experience

When you choose Carrera Café, you choose a local business rooted in the Quebec community. We collaborate with local suppliers and contribute to the neighborhood’s authenticity. It’s the difference between an ordinary coffee break and a true Quebec experience.

Reason 05 · ★ Signature

The perfect coffee before or after your activities

Château Frontenac, Plains of Abraham, Dufferin Terrace — Carrera Café is your ideal starting or ending point. An espresso before climbing to the Château, a flat white after the funicular, a cold brew on the terrace facing the river.
