I visited Calgary and have heard great things about the coffee scene so I had to check out a few of…read morethe local cafes. Phil & Sebastian topped my list. The first time I went, there was a trainee barista which was very kind and patient but unfortunately they don't do pour overs anymore - when I pressed them about it, the reason was Covid. I'm not sure what covid has to do with anything since it's a pretty easy thing to keep on the side with low operating cost (I have one at home - total cost about $80) I ended up getting the drip coffee which was quite delicious- they were serving an Ethiopian origin coffee which was bright, fruity, floral but quite acidic. The next day I went back and met another barista who was clearly not interested in being there and was making conversation with another customer about how he hated Calgary and wished he never moved here (apparently from vancouver). While I can understand his sentiment being from Calgary myself and then moving away, it's not really a great way to start the day. The negativity was filling the air. He seemed like a knowledgeable enough guy but I don't think I'll go back if he's there. I ended up getting a bag of the Ethiopian coffee and I'll just make it myself when I get home If you're looking for a place to get a great cup of coffee and go, then definitely check this place out but don't expect to leave feeling energized by the environment. 4/5 bc the coffee and donuts are delicious

I can see why people come here, since the other lattes I saw also seemed to be intriguing with some interesting flavors. Pretty solid cafe in the downtown area, it's a nice one to stop by.

I visited Baya Rica Cafe about a month ago and then again just yesterday. Every time has been extremely pleasant. The staff are warm and chatty which I love. This cozy cafe is located in a little house right off the main street. The inside is light and welcoming and there's a spacious patio for outdoor sitting (under the right circumstances). When it comes to the coffee... RATING: 8/10 - Baya Rica I ordered an americano (typical) and it definitely hit the spot. The coffee is smooth and the furthest thing from bitter. I prefer a little less water added. The flavour is incredible but I could do a bit stronger. FUN FACT: Baya Rica's beans are grown on a coffee farm in Costa Rica. If you're in the neighbourhood make sure to stop by!

The flavoring was great for someone who doesn't like spicy food but appreciates a spicy flavor.

The Boston cream and Nutella that was around the toast made it complete - you could taste all the flavors without it tasting too sweet. - Matcha latte (3/5) with vanilla, and pumpkin spice latte (4/5) Service was quick and friendly!

There is free Wi-Fi, and there appeared to be some outlets. I went on a weekday around noon, and there were still a good amount of seats available. The staff were kind and got my order (a matcha latte and a grilled chicken flatbread) out in a timely manner. Although the café itself had a cozy ambience, I would say that my order was rather lackluster. The matcha latte was really milky, and the matcha itself tasted watered down. And the grilled chicken flatbread tasted decent, but it was super crumbly and messy to eat, making it almost feel like a choking hazard with some bites. I would like to go back to try a different flavor of drink since the ambience was nice. But based on my first experience, it wasn't the greatest café Calgary had to offer.

This time around I tried something they offer by reservation called afternoon tea for $40. We each got to pick a tea for our tea pot and had about 8 options. The tea itself wasn't anything special. We tried the chai and the alforno blend which both didn't taste very strong. The afternoon tea deal also came with a snack tower, the bottom consisting of savory sandwich bites, and the top two levels with pastries and sweets. The things that stood out to me were the lemon meringue, fruit tart, and the carrot cake (the cream cheese frosting was really tasty). Overall, this was a super cute and fun thing to try. I'd definitely recommend it if you want to try little bites of various things they carry.

The raspberry filled coconut cookie was chewy and light. The breakfast with sausage eggs and potatoes and toast was enough for two. We couldn't begin to eat it all and took some away for later.

We decided to get the lunch special of the Duck confit monte cristo which is French toast stacked with bacon, duck, a fried egg and arugula and paired with cheese and maple syrup. I requested the cheese on the side since I am lactose intollerant but my bf is not. Everything about this dish was fresh, packed with flavor and perfectly sweet and savory. My favorite part was the fluffy French toast and the rich duck pieces. Slathering everything in Canadian maple syrup was the right move and the maple syrup elevated the entire dish even more! While the dish was incredible, the drinks sadly fell short as we decided to get the matcha latte and the oat milk masala chai. Out of the two the masala chai definitely had more spice and flavor but both were mild for my liking and a tad watery.
