Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters + Bloom - Marda Loop

The barista was super friendly and sweet. I got a hot chocolate and the churro donut. As I grow older I enjoy the cocoa taste of hot chocolates. This one was the perfect balance of sweetness with the bitter cocoa. 10/10 I would recommend if you enjoy a hot chocolate that isn’t sweet. The churro donut was also delicious. This one definitely was sweet. As it’s filled with a caramel sauce. It was decent (wouldn’t say amazing) 6/10 Great atmosphere to work while you have a tasty drink.

I promise you this is the best waffles and you have to try them. What makes them stand out is that they are a sourdough waffle which makes them taste insanely delicious not like your usual waffles dry and hard to bite on. Love the sauces and special home made jam that they offer. Really love it and highly recommend trying them 🧡 Also love the team that works there they are all very vibrant.

We loved our brunch experience. We ordered four different menu items: baked mac n cheese, chilaquiles, Oslo hash, and rice pudding All were excellent and fully appreciated. The combination of flavours, the addition of veggies or micro greens, and variety of options for the dishes were appreciated by all. We also enjoyed the coffees, lattes and other options. There were a couple dishes, like the Oslo hash or rice pudding, where we would have loved a bit more flavour, but note that more flavour might also overpower the fruit and veggies. The place was busy when we arrived, so we had a hard time, initially, finding a seat. All in all, it was an excellent experience and we can't wait to go back.

4.5 overall. Very reasonably priced compared to most brunch spots and with a good variety on the menu. Much like monogram has primary colours; p&s now have bloom. They both have different vibes as well. This spot is worth visiting. While still serving their speciality - coffee + hoopla donuts, they also have a savoury meal menu from sandwiches to pancakes. Drinks are consistent as with all p&s spots - good place to grab coffee and likewise drinks. The donuts from hoopla are always a good default grab as well. Meal - really enjoyed the chicken sandwich, farmers breakfast and also the rice pudding - great flavours and also simple enough to be unique (not homestyle and nicer). The only questionable one was the sourdough waffles which were a bit too tough, which made it hard to knife and fork as well and a harder chew. Service was good, relatively quick (mild waiting) and friendly. Easy to order from the front counter or the QR code at each table. They also ensure everything remains clean and orderly. Seating - lots of seats in a typical coffee shop setting (long tables and along the wall long booth manner). It does get busy here though so may not always get a spot. Take out available as well.

As a longtime customer returning after the roads were cleared of construction, I was happy to see the location in good shape and well attended. However, even with the return of a fair number of customers for a midweek late afternoon, a single employee was holding down the entire place. She was great, nailed every detail. But being the ONLY barista there, I and my elderly friend were waiting nearly 20 minutes at the register before she could take our order. She made time to let us know she saw us and that she would be there as quickly as she could (again 10/10 for this staffer), but P&S really ought to be hiring more staff or paying this one the two additional salaries being saved by management. If this is how upper management treats employees, then it won’t take much for this to become a no staff location.

I love phil and Sebastian coffee, and i always love visiting the cafes. This location is no exception to the standards I expect from their products and services. Their mocha is one of my favorites of any chain/shops, and their seasonal drinks are also delicious - I tried their salted caramel latte and it was perfect balance of sweet and salty. I always look forward to visiting this location due to the kind staff and nice drinks. Next time I will be trying one of their delicious donuts.

I'm sorry but I ordered a 16oz latte and there was very little coffee flavour. Basically tasted like flavoured milk. A coffee and a donut for $10 and I almost turned around and drove it back to the store. Once had a latte like this at Starbucks and didn't expect much more but with the equipment you have the lattes should have a coffee flavour and color. Never again Phil or Sebastian

Phil and Sebastian have built an entire brand and identity in and of itself. The coffee is good, the decor of the locations is bright and pleasant. Not a bad option for coffee and a little something sweet while you're in Calgary. The quality of the bagged beans was not great.
