Iced Canadiano at Crema House is a double shot of espresso poured over ice and lengthened with cold water, our iced Americano, made to order in Ottawa. The espresso is Blasercafé Marrone, a Swiss-roasted blend of 70% arabica and 30% robusta, pulled hot and shocked over ice so it keeps its aroma. Cold water fills the glass, giving a tall, clean black coffee with the body of espresso and none of the sweetness of a shake. It is unsweetened and dairy-free as served; milk, oat milk, almond milk or syrup can be added. It carries the caffeine of two shots and suits a hot afternoon. Take it with a Bake House pastry from our counter on Clyde Avenue.
