The story behind Julius Café
Pascal Giroux is the founder and owner of Julius Café. It was after a trip to Costa Rica that he decided to embark on importing high-quality beans himself and roasting them. His mission continues by working directly with farmers and developing valuable relationships with them to honor their work and always put them in the spotlight.
35 John-Savage Street, Bromont, QC J2L 1C9
For the love of coffee
The decision to enter the coffee business was driven purely by passion and interest in this beverage. The challenge of making a difference in the market fueled his desire to consistently offer grade A beans.
A sole terroir for a unique taste
What makes Julius coffee unique is that each lot has its own drying process and is always roasted individually, resulting in a precise and accurate flavor. The aromas are powerful and true, as they come from a single terroir. All Julius coffees come from the mountainous regions of Costa Rica. Julius specialty coffees have a medium to dark roast to preserve the integrity of the flavor notes.

Trois-RivièresLe Torré
A Brief History of Le Torré
Le Torré was established in 2013, when “Le Temps d'une Pinte” moved into the former premises of Le Torréfacteur coffee house. Ceasing operations was out of the question for the new owners. With this in mind, Le Torré has distinguished itself by roasting artisanal coffee on site, working hand in hand with local cooperatives. As of 2019, the company only does business with gourmet coffees from cooperatives practicing organic and fair trade cultivation, some of which are Rainforest Alliance certified.
1465, Notre-Dame Centre Street, Trois-Rivières (Québec) G9A 4X4
What you can expect
Micro-lots of beans carefully selected over many years will transport you to new and exciting taste horizons. A variety of roasting profiles are offered to satisfy every palate. Imported coffees are grown organically and responsibly, respecting traditions and the environment. The flavours and characteristics of Le Torré coffees are deeply influenced by their area of origin, such as Colombia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, Nicaragua and Indonesia.
Preserving Our Heritage
When Alain Rivard, Sébastien Bourassa, Laurent Laganière and Gustavo Nevares noticed that the building that had been home to P.-V Ayotte for over 100 years, as well as Le Torréfacteur coffee house for 15 years, was up for sale, that's all it took. They had definitely found their new home for Le Temps d'une Pinte, but also a desire to preserve the heritage of its predecessors. That's how they came to create Le Torré, to ensure that the place remains synonymous with flavour, culture, and cultural life in Trois-Rivières.

ChicoutimiCafé Cambio
A Brief History of Café Cambio
Café Cambio, a veritable benchmark in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region for fair trade and ecological practices, 100% coop, was founded in 2005. Since then, it has become an example of a profitable commercial enterprise operating within the parameters of sustainable development. Café Cambio roasts over 15,000 kg of coffee beans a year and has partnerships with a number of local businesses. Everyone who has contributed, for whatever length of time, has left a significant mark on the company since its inception.
414 Racine East Street, Chicoutimi, QC G7H 1T3
What you can expect
The coffee beans, imported from a dozen countries in South America, Africa, and Indonesia, are roasted by hand to extract as much flavour as possible. The majority of roasts are medium-black, but you'll also find some black, brown, cherry and honey roasts. Whatever your choice, you'll find specialty coffees certified fair trade by Fairtrade, organic by Québec Vrai, and verified by Aliments du Québec.
Inspiring journeys
The idea for Café Cambio was conceived when childhood friends Guylaine Pelletier and Geneviève Demers were completing their university studies in cinema and anthropology. However, it was after several trips to the South that an awareness of the disparities between North and South inspired them to get involved. It only took coffee producers a few visits to crystallize this desire for social change, and for Café Cambio to see the light of day.
