Phil & Sebastian's is a startup success story in Calgary. They got their start set up at the Calgary Farmer's Market and have since expanded into multiple full sized locations. They also sell pastries from Sidewalk Citizen, another favorite spot of ours for breakfast or lunch. This location is very walkable, and if you're looking to get into some shopping at Chinook, it's at the North end of the Mall with outdoor patio as a starting point.
