Whether you’re in your living room in Quebec City or traveling to Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix, you need the right coffee to fully enjoy every lap. Carrera Café guides you.

Espresso: the coffee of the starting line

In Formula 1, everything starts with the red lights. In coffee, everything starts with the espresso. Short, intense, concentrated: espresso shares with F1 this philosophy of perfection in a few seconds. At Carrera Café in Quebec City, our espressos are made with specialty beans artisanally roasted by Brûlerie Rousseau.

To watch Saturday qualifying, we recommend a single espresso, served at 90 degrees, with a beautiful golden crema. Hazelnut notes, caramelized finish: the perfect start to a Grand Prix weekend. Available for takeout or online order at carreracafe.ca for delivery in the Quebec City area.

Filter coffee: perfect for Sunday racing

The Sunday race lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. To last the distance, nothing beats a slowly brewed filter coffee, rich in caffeine but smooth on the palate. Our selection of filter coffees at Carrera Café in Quebec City includes Ethiopian, Kenyan, and Colombian origins to satisfy every taste.

Cold brew is also an excellent option for summer race days. Brewed cold for 12 to 24 hours, it offers gradual caffeine and a natural sweetness that balances the intensity of the competition. Ideal for a summer Grand Prix.
