Brûlerie Rousseau

150 years of history · Quebec

La Brûlerie Rousseau has 150 years of Quebec roasting history. Founded in 1874, it is one of the oldest still active roasteries in North America. Their coffees have character — the kind of character you recognize from the first sip.

Their Mélange 1867 — notes of milk chocolate and almond — is our house coffee. The coffee we serve at the table every day since opening.

Tokad

Precision roasting · Quebec

Tokad is the new generation. An analytical approach, precisely measured roasting curves, an obsession with batch-to-batch consistency. Like a Formula 1 engine engineer.

Their 4 coffees are built around a simple idea: each bean must express its personality. The Leve-tot gets you out of bed. The Creme de la creme keeps you company all day. Consistency is their signature.

Géogène

Exceptional microlots · Quebec

Géogène plays in another league. Microlots, rare origins, tasting descriptions that read like poetry. Their Due E Mezzo is our house espresso reference — balanced, silky, persistent.

They regularly change their selection according to available harvests. This guarantees that every visit to Carrera Café can introduce you to something new.

What we look for

How we select our coffees

We don’t choose a coffee because it’s popular. We choose it because it passes our test on five criteria: traceability of origin, batch-to-batch consistency, distinctive tasting notes, direct relationship with the roaster, and enjoyment in the cup.

Every coffee on our menu has passed this filter. Some took several months before making it in.
