Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters

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.

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.

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.

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

Staff as friendly and informative as before. Cappuccino was excellent

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

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

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

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

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.

Pros:
Amazing coffee, made by really nice barista men.
Nice Décor.
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.
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 frappé 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.

You can get the feeling of going to a family owned, small café 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!

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!

Quite a nice new spot for coffee and light fare. Wife and I had coffee on a nice warm Sunday after a stroll on 4^th 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.

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!

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!

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.
