Unpretentious venue, high quality espresso.
And I'm glad to see it has not strayed far from its original brewed-by-precision approach. Is the espresso as good as Bumpy's? I'm not sure.. the jury isn't out on that one and it's too close to call for sure. But Phil & Sebastian's is by far a go-to, with an accessible location and awesome atmosphere.
The staff seems quite happy to answer any questions you might have regarding source or process, or even (overheard) drink recommendations. No scolding or scoffing here. If you haven't tried a quality espresso in this city, this is a good place to take the dive.
