Phil Sebastian Coffee Roasters Simmons Building Cafe

If you can manage to get in here and have a barista prepare you a pourover and serve it in one of their groovy Le Creuset mugs, you win. End of story. <br/ <br/ One of the tastiest cups of coffee I have had ever, and I make their product at home and at work regularly. <br/ <br/ The granite counters here are stunning, for lack of a better word. Absolutely beautiful.<br/ <br/ These guys are, like good engineers, pushing the boundaries of high standards at every step. And it shows. And I appreciate it.

P&S is the gold standard for coffee in North America, and their Simmons Building location is a gem. Espresso based drinks are as peerless as ever- there is none better in Canada, but I also love the creative coffee-based 'cocktails ' they serve here. Coming during quieter periods is really the best way to experience Simmons, so shoot for, say, 11:30am.

Staff very rude. No visible signage to go to back end of store if only ordering beverage.When i arrived at counter, only one in line, female barrista completely ignored me.Waited 8 minutes to be served. None of the barrista acknowledged me, no explanation for not serving me.I like to support local but i will not be returning. Take my business elsewhere.Barb B

A bit out of the way but it's great to have good coffee in an area of the city that used to be a coffee wasteland. Expect to have a few people in line when you arrive. Service isn't incredibly fast but, in my experience, they are friendly and the coffee is consistently good. I find their espresso is a bit on the tart side but not so much as to make me pucker. Great building with history and beautiful brick walls. Seating for about 30 at tables of 6. Could get up to 8 at a table for a meeting.

Coffee godfathers of Calgary. Great beans, ethically sourced direct from the farmers. Expert baristas and great baked goods. Simply the best.
