Colombian coffee and Formula 1: when Quebec meets the track
April 2026 · 4 min read · Carrera Café · The Coffee Journal
In Quebec, specialty coffee culture and the passion for motorsport share the same energy: excellence, precision, and the thrill of performance. At Carrera Café, on Champlain Boulevard in the heart of Quebec City, we believe every cup tells a story that goes beyond the plantation borders.
Colombia, country of F1 and exceptional coffee
Colombia is known worldwide for two things: its talented drivers and its coffee beans of remarkable quality. Colombian coffee plants grow between 1500 and 2000 meters in altitude, in conditions where every variable, like on the track, must be perfectly controlled. Temperature, humidity, sun exposure: nothing is left to chance.
Just as a Formula 1 engineer analyzes thousands of data points per lap, the Colombian coffee grower monitors every stage of maturity of their coffee cherries. The result? A round, balanced bean with notes of caramel and red fruits that recall the smoothness of a perfect lap.
Carrera Café in Quebec: the crossroads of enthusiasts
At Carrera Café in Quebec, we have selected the best Colombian coffees in collaboration with Brûlerie Rousseau, a renowned Quebec roaster. Whether you are a motorsport fan or simply looking for the best espresso in Quebec City, our selection will transport you directly to the Andean lands.
The Colombian espresso served at our counter has the same intensity you feel when the lights go out at the start of a race: an immediate surge, a complexity that unfolds on the palate, and a long, satisfying finish. It’s the coffee of champions, available in the heart of Quebec City.
