Vegan coffee in Quebec: plant-based milk lattes and lactose-free options at Petit-Champlain
Oat, almond, coconut, soy milk: at Carrera Café, plant-based alternatives are treated with the same care as whole milk. Complete guide to vegan and lactose-free options in Quebec.
Plant-based milks
Complete guide to choosing
Plant-based milk alternatives have revolutionized coffee culture in recent years. It’s no longer a matter of diet or intolerance: it’s a matter of taste. Each plant milk brings its own personality to a latte, and the baristas at Carrera Café have learned to master their specificities.
Oat
The most versatile
Creamy, slightly sweet, emulsifies well. Our #1 choice.
Almond
The lightest
Delicate, slightly nutty, less creamy. Ideal for cold lattes.
Coconut
The most exotic
Rich, tropical, fragrant. For lovers of bold flavors.
Soy
The most neutral
Close to whole milk in texture. The easiest for the barista to work with.
Oat milk
Our favorite for coffee
Among all plant-based milks, oat milk fits best into specialty coffee culture. Its creamy texture allows proper emulsification, and its slightly sweet, grainy flavor naturally complements the aromas of a good espresso without masking them.
At Carrera Café, our hazelnut oat latte has become one of the most ordered drinks. An unexpected success, but perfectly logical.

The Hazelnut Oat Iced Latte
Our summer hit
This iced latte with oat milk and hazelnut syrup has become one of our most popular drinks in just a few seasons, across all categories. It’s not vegan by default: it’s delicious. The fact that it’s lactose-free is a bonus, not the reason we love it.

The Barista's Tip
"For a hot latte, oat milk is unbeatable: it emulsifies well and creates a nice foam. For iced coffee, almond milk adds lightness. For teas and chai, coconut reigns supreme. And if you're still unsure, tell me: I'll do a tasting with you."
