Back again in Calgary and knew I'd have to come back - the coffee is fab and the staff are so nice too! Just a short walk from downtown to the area called Mission and totally worth it plus if you are a fan of Lululemon there is one right across the street . Quiet inside and you could work there or just sit out on the street and watch the world go by ! read more

See all

The best coffee and great staff. We just Love the vibe , the staff willing to assist

P&S is one of the best, and most reliably outstanding, artisanal coffehouses (and coffee roasters) in Canada. The Mission location is as outstanding as any; aside from an unfortunate placement of tables by the espresso machine so that it's unwieldy to wait for a drink as it's prepared, the coffee itself is peerless. I got a machiatto today made with their Ethiopian bean du jour, which must be washed as it didn't have the funky flowery notes that you get with naturally-processed (aka unwashed) beans from that neck of the woods. The drink was not only delicious but its temperature and texture perfect. I bought a bag of those beans to take home and try to reproduce on my home espresso setup. One thing I'd never noticed at this P&S are the two pride flags at the front counter- the rainbow flag has the company's trademark ampersand. Very nice to see. read more

I usually go to the Chinook location, but wanted to try out the 4th Street location this time. There aren't that many tables and the cafe feels smaller maybe because of the layout. I had a small Chai Tea Latte and it was $5+, so it definitely on the pricier side, but quality is consistently good. I have tried their food items like avocado toast, grilled cheese and soups and they are very nourishing and delicious at the same time. Definitely would go back but it is kind of expensive to go frequently/everyday to work out of since it is expensive. read more

Spot on reviews from Tim, Steven and RM. Look no further when you want a company that is deeply invested in their coffee and their clientele! I was first introduced to Phil and Sebastian's at a friends' wedding where they did a pop up coffee shop during the wedding's cocktail hour. It was amazing experience to see the baristas at work and I was so impressed that whenever I was in Calgary, I would convince my husband that we needed to make a pit stop at the Chinook location. Fast forward to me moving to Mission...and seeing a P and S 5 min walk away? It's the beginning of a beautiful friendship. The only downside to this particular location is there are only three electrical sockets for use...two in the back and one at the front. Make sure you fully charge your laptop if you can't score a spot near a plug :) Or...make friends with the people sitting near them! Unparalleled service and fantastic coffee. You're always in for a treat at P&S! read more

The service was sub-par and the donuts are not worth the price. We picked up half a dozen donuts and I'm not sure what all the "Hoopla" is all about. The only good thing about the donuts we picked up, was the candy coating on the creme brûlée donut. The brownie topping on one of the donuts was stale. The Coconut lime donut was chemical tasting. I would stick to just buying coffee here. read more

The good: It's good. Not great. Not epic. But good. The bad: They're a little snobby. The ugly: The prices. read more

Best local spot for coffee in Calgary! Must visit for a quiet spot to work or pick up some coffee to bring home. read more

My decaf Americano was amazing. And that's saying something, because amazing decaf is hard to find. My barista was also super friendly and referenced a Hilary Duff song, so 5 stars all around. Looking forward to checking out their events sometime. read more

My favourite coffee shop in town, by far. Don't come expecting a Starbucks menu, or a greasy-spoon diner cup of coffee. Phil & Sebastian's is a coffee bar that takes pride in its drinks, and you get what you pay for. This particular location has the best atmosphere and staff of any location in the city - everyone is always very friendly, and my drinks have always come out perfect. It also seems to attract a different crowd than on Marda Loop, and never feels as cramped, either. Also? They serve beer and wine. There's not much more to say about this place except that it's a must-try for anybody who likes good coffee. For the people writing poor reviews about P&S? There's a Starbucks within seconds of the front door - quit complaining and go find a place you'll actually appreciate. read more

By now I've been to the Phil & Sebastian Marda Loop and Chinook Mall locations, obviously I love their coffee, so I guess I'm just rating the experience? :) My sister works by this location and she wanted my other sister and I to come check it out, so we met up for a sister coffee date. It wasn't too busy, which is surprising considering it's Phil & Sebastian. I love the look of this location! It's a bit different than the other two I've been at. Just as chill though and a great place to study or socialize. I got a decaf latte which was pretty good. It's so hard to find a place with good decaf, I was happy. What made this an A+ experience though was their matcha!! Oh. my. goodness. Real matcha! I find a lot of cafes sweeten their matcha with syrup or buy pre-sweetened matcha powder. Phil & Sebastian's on the other hand, 100%. No complaints here! Try their matcha latte!! read more

Several reasons I'd never go back here: - supposedly they have wifi but it didn't work - pretty much nowhere to charge a computer - coffee was bad but a simple cup of coffee cost $3.50... ridiculous - baristas were stuck-up Never again. read more

3 staff working on Saturday afternoon, the place is at 40% capacity yet I had to remove the dish from the previous patron and wipe my own table down. Also, I asked for honey and they don't have any.... mmmm but they are not shy to charge over $3 for a cup of brewed coffee. Not a good value/experience for the price read more

R M. below is bang on with his review. The owners and barista pride themselves in serving high quality brew. I love seeing them expand because it shows the appreciation and demand Calgarian's have for good coffee. I love this location's interior. Very modern. The wood panelled walls is a nice touch. The barista's provide great service. Be warned, you'll have a hard time snagging a table for party sizes more than 4. Did you know that P&S have the 2012 Best Canadian Barista? I had the pleasure of sitting in on one of his coffee tastings. He's very passionate about coffee, and he loves sharing his expertise to everyone. Tip: Be sure to get their coffee flight (sample of three different roasts). Skip out on Timmy's and Starbucks. Your palette deserves a real taste of coffee. read more

Having been to Bogotá, Colombia, the Mecca of truly authentic coffee numerous times... P&S comes closest to the quality of coffee in country. Staff are always helpful, friendly and accomodating. Today was no different! Service 5 by 5. Coffee 5 by 5. read more

You can get the feeling of going to a family owned, small cafe around the corner, although Phil & Sebastian has branches in different parts of town, and technically would be considered a "chain" :) We go there whenver we have a guest from out of town and want to impress them by showing off something that is not a big Franchise coffee shop! read more

I love Phil & Sebastian and this location is no different. Great space, great flow. I always get a cappuccino. Croissants are delicious. I had a breakfast sandwich once which was actually really good! Always a bonus when a shop serves sparkling water with their espresso drinks read more

Great place in Mission to either get (a) take-out coffee, or (b) sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Really good drip-coffee, and really good sourdough sandwiches. Patio gets the sun in the summer - Take a book, sip coffee, and enjoy 4th Street. read more

The coffee, lattes, hot chocolate and more.. are delicious! The ambience is modern and pleasant, but the seating is cramped. It is not a place that I would choose to get more then a beverage for take-out. They are a bit pricey. read more

Absolutely awesome coffee in the heart of Calgary! Will definitely be back the next time I visit. The interior of the cafe looks great, staff are really friendly and great coffee. What more can U ask from a cafe :) kinda slightly bummed cold brew was sold out when I was there in the middle of the day. read more

Pros: Amazing coffee, made by really nice barista men. Nice Decor. Cons: 'Lifestyle' prices. Okay, eyewatering prices. Look folks, I get that P+S allegedly use really good coffee, and that they make them really nice, perhaps they pay the staff a bit more, perhaps they have high overheads. It's a place designed to sell to the demographic its designed for. People with lots of cash sloshing around. That aint me. I like good value. And Im sorry, but a cup of coffee for over $6 aint it. At the same time, at the other end of the spectrum of coffee, Timmies isn't my bag either. Its a bland, crowd pleaser, inoffensive and generic. For mass market drip coffee, A&W, McDonalds and 7/11 is good for a 'cuppa Joe'. I digress. I get that companies need to make a profit. But that over 5 buck level? It's just a psychological barrier I just cant get over. It excludes a major portion of the consumer. This isn't Holt Renfrew people, its a freekin coffee shop. For a once in a while treat sure, or even if they made an option for us poorer folks, say, a more affordable drip coffee option for say $2.50 a cup, and disable the wifi to stop annoying macbook hipsters clogging up the place, then id go there. Thats what knocks a 2 stars off it. I'm sure P+S could afford to trim the margin and sell a cup of joe for $2 - 2.50, and keep the skinny almond latte frappe cappuchino moccachino al pachino crap priced high for the oil&gas employee yuppie yoga girls and mac book hipsters. Keep two camps happy. Until then? Too rich for my blood, sorry Seb and Phil. read more

This location never disappoints. Top notch coffee, treats and customer service. Highly recommended.

Loved Phil & Sebastian coffee shop. Tried the espresso which was made with the Ethiopian bean, it was excellent. Also tried the Americano and the Panamanian geisha as well which by far is my favorite one. Bought a cool coffee book and mugs as well. Will definitely be going back. read more

Service speed would be the same as those chain coffee shops, but I gotta say, they make real coffee!! Very delicious!!! If you love coffee you should try! read more

Unparalleled dedication to coffee. From farm to cup, they're involved in all aspects of the coffee you drink. Easily the best coffee shop in the city and one of the best in Canada. The new cafe in Mission is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. read more

The staff are snobby and have no pep to their step! Could care less that you have to wait for them to start your order. They seem more interested in chatting then helping! The seating is not comfortable and very cramped. read more

Great!!! I love the meticulous care in making sure that cup of coffee is the best. Down to the special filtered water, to the beans, to the talented baristas. read more

Really good coffee and atmosphere. However, I find the service a bit slow and the prices a tad high for the quality.

Quite a nice new spot for coffee and light fare. Wife and I had coffee on a nice warm Sunday after a stroll on 4th St. Coffee and tea very nice and well presented in a carafe on and wood serving platter. However the place was too warm to be comfortable. Needs some outdoor seating unfortunately it faces east and has a very small sidewalk area. read more

This was my first visit for sone drinks. It looks cozy and let dogs in the terrace but one of the staff is unfriendly and I had to ask the wifi password twice and still didn't get the right answer and he didn't bother to help. I know they are busy on Monday afternoon (!) But I don't think it's too much too ask just to write down the weird wufi password for new customer anyway. Not interested to come again. read more
