SUMMER SEASON
CARRERA CAFÉ IN SUMMER
Terrace, cold brew & iced coffee
Seasonal Guide • 5 min read
Summer in Quebec City is sacred. And so is our Petit-Champlain terrace. From slow-steeped cold brew to iced coffee that refreshes as much as it awakens, here's how we enjoy coffee when the heat settles in.
THE ADDRESS
THE PADDOCK TERRACE
Petit-Champlain, Old Quebec
A few stone tables, a retractable roof, the sounds of Old Quebec in the background. Our terrace is the ideal spot for a contemplative iced coffee, between visits to the neighborhood.
The signature summer order
Homemade cold brew on ice, with a splash of cold oat milk and an orange zest. Served in our large Carrera Café glass, it's the definition of slow coffee under the Old Quebec sun.
BASE
18h Cold brew
MILK
Cold oat
