| - Was there today, and after getting a loaf of great red fife bread from the bakery, talked to one of the staff at Phil&Seb about the roast durations of their various beans. Picked up a bag of their espresso Honduras beans, knowing that they now are close to tops in Calgary for beans.
What they've done to the old Simmons building is quite cool, and as East Village finishes its last few condo buildings, the coffee, meat, resto and bakery can only flourish as people move in to the area and bring their upper-middle class sensibilities with them.
Try the beans, folks, but before purchasing do the usual smell test re. what your nose picks up, and ask the staff for what more you need to know. They are great.
As for the cafe, getting an almond croissant with a nice dark brew is just about the best treat in life.
