| - P&S.
My first experience with P&S was at their original location, in the Calgary Farmers Market. Getting a P&S coffee whilst doing our Sunday shop quickly became a routine for my whole family.
We each had our staple; as I've mentioned before, I never venture from my Americano. Apparently the Dulce (previously called the Latin Passion) is d.i.v.i.n.e (it's a bit like a caramel macchiato, made with dulce de leche)
The modest stall that made P&S famous is now closed, as the Calgary Farmers Market prepares to move to a new location. As far as I know, P&S didn't renew a contract to be a vendor.
They have opened 2 other locations in as many years, this location on 33rd Avenue in Marda Loop being their 2nd, and a swank new shop in the new Chinook Mall expansion is their 3rd.
Both stand alone locations are lovely, with sand colored wood accents, classic chalkboard menu's, and a very clean yet inviting vibe.
This location is a long & narrow unit in a relatively new mini-mall, also housing a bank, a private gym, and a Shoppers Drug Mart.
Be warned, parking is tricky during business & rush hours, and especially during the brunch rush on Sundays. (Nellie's Diner, and Belmont Diner are a stone's throw away)
Hands down, P&S produces the best cup of coffee in Calgary.
That's all I'm going to say about that.
They make pastries and sandwiches in house, sourcing from local suppliers & farmers (A list of these can be found on their website)
They also use Organic Milk from Vital Greens Farm. Huge points for this.
They roast their beans right here in Cow-Town, and I just found out yesterday they also roast for Caffe Rosso. Talk about being a good neighbour.
Phil & Sebastian know their coffee.
They provide exceptional training to their barista's - who in turn offer education & knowledge to their guests. They also attend ((and WIN!)) competitions, both regionally, and nationally.
My 5 stars say it, all the other 5 star reviews say it - P&S is a work of art, and something the chaps at all locations, and every coffee lover in Calgary should be proud of.
