This route, which runs along the St. Lawrence River, is a classic for all cyclists in Quebec City. With a straight line, few differences in altitude and safe roads, this is the Coffee Ride par excellence!

Since it is a “Roundtrip” route, the exit can be shortened or extended easily depending on the Momentum of the day!

In order to take full advantage of the big capital, we suggest a departure in the city, in one of our two favorite places in the area:

The Faux Mouvement Coffee : The false movement is a café-course that was founded by young entrepreneurs from Quebec City. Over the last few years, a very large community has been created and dozens of runners gather on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays for their outings. In addition to the beautiful community, the Staff Is hyper Cool And the coffee is simply Wow!

Musette: a unique place where the passions for cycling, coffee and aperitifs come together. Musette embodies the vibrant spirit of the cycling community.

There are several stops along the way, but here is our favorite :

The Apollo Coffee : located 40km from Old Quebec, Café Apollo is a small cafe/snack bar not to be missed. With a Californian “vibe”, this little café has something to make the news of your next Stories Instagram. In addition, it is located in front of the brand new Quai de La Paix. If you want to have a beautiful view of the St. Lawrence, this is THE Spot. The Apollo Café is our return point for the” Mid-Ride ”.

When the wind is strong, we strongly suggest taking Avenue Royale as soon as possible. Although you'll climb a few extra meters of elevation gain, it'll be worth it since the wind blows hard along the riverbank.
