Coffee and creativity: why creatives worldwide work in coffee shops like Carrera
Writers, designers, musicians, entrepreneurs: they all work in coffee shops. Why? Science has the answers. And Carrera Café in Petit-Champlain is the perfect illustration.
The science behind creative coffee
A study published in the Journal of Consumer Research showed that the moderate ambient noise of a coffee shop (around 70 decibels) significantly improves creative thinking compared to complete silence or loud noise. This phenomenon, called "stochastic resonance," is linked to how our brain processes information in the presence of background noise.
In other words: the perfect coffee shop for creation exists. And it looks a lot like Carrera Café.
