Pista is a company founded in 2014 by Maxime, Julien, and Alexandre. Together, they form a dynamic and passionate trio dedicated to creating quality coffee and building strong, lasting relationships with their partners.
Pista’s commitment goes far beyond simply selling coffee. The company has chosen to work directly with farms and carefully selected importers. This approach ensures transparent and meaningful transactions by establishing solid connections with producers. The goal is to support coffee-growing communities in a stable manner while offering consistent and reliable coffee origins year after year. Pista sources its coffee from the same farms, contributing to the mutual growth of both the producers and the company.
Pista coffee stands out for its commitment to quality, transparency, and ethics. By building lasting relationships with producers, the company ensures consistent quality and a selection of coffees from communities that share a common vision for growth. Each origin is carefully chosen for its traceability and its positive impact on local producers.
The roasts offered by Pista range from medium-light to dark, allowing the full richness of the aromas from various origins to emerge while maintaining the balance and smoothness of the coffee. The company imports beans from Brazil, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Colombia, Rwanda, Burundi, Nicaragua, Peru, Mexico, and Honduras.
Pista is firmly committed to adopting an eco-friendly and ethical approach in its operations. The company establishes strong partnerships with its producers, prioritizing sustainable practices that respect both the environment and local communities. This commitment is reflected in the certifications chosen and in the desire to offer responsible coffee, both socially and ecologically.
Pista is also deeply involved in creating transparent and lasting relationships with its producer partners. By supporting local farming communities, the company helps provide stability and growth to its producers. This ethical approach extends to environmental respect by prioritizing fair trade practices and supporting responsible initiatives.
Monark is the result of the work and curiosity of two men, Xavier Roy and Mathieu Grégoire, who decided to venture into the world of coffee with a common goal: to offer a unique experience to their customers. Xavier, a craft roaster, immersed himself in the roasting process driven by his thirst for understanding and his desire to master every step. On the other hand, Mathieu, a passionate advocate for customer service, made it a point to create a relationship of trust and provide impeccable service. Before founding their roastery, they already owned a café where they offered creations from over fifteen Quebec roasters. After introducing the best local coffees to their customers, they wanted to share their own vision by experimenting to create coffees that would accompany their customers every day.
Monark offers accessible blends, perfect for everyday coffee, as well as single-origin lots that allow coffee lovers to discover new flavors with every cup. Their passion for service and product marketing is what sets Monark apart.
As a micro-roaster, Monark offers a wide variety of beans from different countries. The main selection criteria? Taste, of course, but also the story behind each coffee. They prioritize innovative and creative producers in their cultivation methods, hoping that this creativity will be reflected in every cup.
Monark uses a roasting machine that is over 30 years old. Thanks to its thick cast-iron drum and conduction cooking method, this machine produces round and balanced coffees, with a seductive caramelization that enhances the richness of the coffee's aromas.
Concerned about its environmental impact, Monark has adopted recyclable plastic bags and encourages bulk purchasing in its store, promoting the reuse of packaging. This approach reflects their commitment to being more sustainable and responsible.
Monark is deeply committed to transparency in its business practices. The company offers quality products without pretension and actively supports local initiatives. They collaborate with several organizations in Lévis, such as the food banks Le Grenier and Le Filon. Every action counts for them. Monark is also involved in the Défi Ultra-Trail Monarque. This challenge saw Anthony Battah run from Montreal to Mexico to raise awareness about the loss of biodiversity affecting some of the world's most valuable insects. True to its values, Monark supported this initiative. Finally, Monark coffee has become an essential part of many Quebecers' mornings, representing a significant responsibility for the company: to be the morning coffee for many.
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.
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.
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.
Fondé en 2004 à Montréal, Barista Microtorréfacteur s’inscrit dans la quatrième vague du café au Québec. Experts 360 en la matière, Barista démocratise l’art de préparer son café chez soi grâce à des mélanges de grande qualité et torréfiés lentement, ainsi qu’à des outils éducatifs. Leur mission : faire vivre l’expérience du café à son plein potentiel à la maison.
Slow roasted in Montreal, Barista blends are handcrafted and inspired by Italian tradition for true espresso lovers. Their recipes, mostly medium roasts, showcase sought-after characteristics from various origins, including Kenya, Colombia, Ethiopia, Peru, and Guatemala. Their organic range is certified organic by Québec Vrai and fair trade by Fairtrade Canada.
Long-time friends Alex Sereno and Enrico Serena set off on their coffee adventure through their passion and love for this nectar. While Enrico is the craftsman, Alex is the communicator and visionary, skills that form a perfect synergy. Together, they have won their bet on a friendship as strong as their company.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Chapeau Moustache, born of a teenage dream that evolved through restaurant jobs and a keen interest in the roasting process, has been a leader in the Lower St. Lawrence specialty coffee market since 2019. Named after a friend who left them too soon, Evan Couture and Marjorie Langlois offer a 100% local taste experience to lovers of unique coffees both in their blends for tasting and on site.
To ensure quality and limit its ecological footprint, Chapeau Moustache produces each of its varieties according to demand, to ensure the freshness of its blends and avoid waste. Coffee beans are carefully selected from Costa Rica, Guatemala, and El Salvador. This is followed by meticulous research into blending and roasting to give the blends a unique and special taste. Whether the aromas are floral, fruity, or more classic, every cup is of the highest quality.
The catalyst for the Chapeau Moustache adventure was founder Evan Couture's acquisition of a book on roasting. The magic happened in the back of Le Crêpe Chignon restaurant, with a two-kilo roaster. Thanks to the support of the restaurant's owners, Evan's dream became a reality. The rest is history.
Founded in 2017 in Montreal by Marc-Alexandre with a desire to embody change in the world of coffee, 94 Celcius Micro-Torrefacteur is renowned for its delicate, high-quality blends inspired by its responsible sourcing philosophy. Since its inception, the company has set itself apart with over 70% of its beans sourced from farms owned by women producers, including the Covalent blend, a blend that is 100% women owned.
94 Celcius roasts its coffee delicately and rigorously, so that the sweet, fruity, and floral notes of the chosen beans stand out more fully, and to ensure uniformity between each roast. 94 Celcius products originate mainly in Latin America, particularly in Peru, Colombia, and Brazil.
Marc-Alexandre discovered a wide variety of coffee in a small Parisian apartment while he was in France for his graduate studies in biochemistry and pharmacology. However, he was only able to appreciate its full splendor with the help of an iconic lever-operated espresso machine. Since then, he has brought the rigor of science to roasting, so that you too can fall under the spell of this nectar.
The idea for Café Smith arose from a desire to respond to the growing demand for coffee in 2013, while putting people at the heart of its actions and the availability of its first premises strategically located in the heart of Old Quebec. Eager to offer high-quality, locally roasted coffee, the family-run business ventured into the world of roasting in 2018. Since then, Smith Café, driven by the richness of exchanges with its community, has been delighting everyone's taste buds with ethically grown coffees.
Carefully roasted in Limoilou, Smith café offers signature coffees from authentic origins discovered during trips to the source. Roasts range from medium-brown to black, with origins in Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Brazil and more. This allows us to offer a great diversity and quality of beans to create both classic and adventurous blends.
Jérome, a businessman from the Île d'Orléans, studied business management with a major in marketing. Combined with his family background in entrepreneurship, it was only natural for him to go into business for himself. When a golden opportunity presented itself in 2013, with premises strategically located in the heart of Old Quebec, it didn't take much for him to throw himself wholeheartedly into the café adventure, where he values the human touch above all else.
Founded in 1997 in Gatineau, La Brûlerie is a pioneer of premium coffee, teas, and herbal teas in the Outaouais region. It is renowned for its superior-quality, tasty coffees. M. Lauriault took over complete control of the brûlerie in 2007, and his son has joined him in recent years.
From Brazil to Indonesia, Africa to Colombia, La brûlerie offers blends developed in-house with coffee beans of the highest grade, nothing less. Its coffees are slow roasted in the traditional way to infuse your cups with the rich, full-bodied aromas of these precious nectars.
After a venture into health products, M. Lariault jumped into the coffee business with both feet. With a passion for business, flavors, and caffeine, he has done everything in his power to spread this home-grown brand across the province, making it a point of honor to encourage local development. After all, he believes that community is the driving force behind this project.
A Sherbrooke coffee icon since 1923, Café Hubert Saint-Jean has been roasting coffee from generation to generation, until it was passed on to Marc-Antoine, a coffee enthusiast. Café Hubert Saint-Jean is renowned for the undisputed quality of its coffee, roasted in an oven dating back to 1956.
From Summer Blend to Mélange du Fjord, Café Hubert Saint-Jean offers blends with unique flavors from Kenya, Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, Peru, and Colombia. Each blend is roasted with the utmost respect for the beans.
It was during a friendly coffee break with his childhood friend Hugo Houle, a professional cyclist, that Marc-Antoine fell in love with coffee. All he had to do was dip his lips in the espresso prepared by a Rancilio Silvia, and his life did a 180-degree turn. After learning about the world of coffee as a barista and then as a coffee event operator, Marc-Antoine became the owner of Cafés Hubert Saint-Jean.
In 2009, Café Larue et Fils opened its doors in Montreal's Villeray district. Over the years, this unique venue has become an important meeting place for the community to sip a good cup of coffee, but also to exchange ideas on a variety of subjects. Building on its expertise, Café Larue decided to go into roasting in 2019, to gain control over the quality of its coffee.
A genuine signature, Espresso Café Larue offers an Italian-style roast with a flavor profile ranging from hazelnut to caramel chocolate. All with body and not too much acidity. The simple blends have a lighter roast, bringing out sweet fruit aromas. Café Larue products originate from Kenya, Brazil, Guatemala, and Mexico.
Investment advisor Sébastien Carelli let his passion for coffee guide him in the creation of Café Larue. While his former career helped him build a financially healthy business, it is his passion for this invigorating nectar that enables him to connect with the community and make a difference.
