Any review and details please share!

Tue Oct 20 12:51:25 -0700 2009 5117778 162741 cancowboy 1 5118820 decent espresso and good bakery and from what I hear very good panini- give it a try and report back! Tue Oct 20 20:14:48 -0700 2009 5117778 12135 John Manzo 1 5158363 I was in today and had a latte and the apple tart. Both were very good. My only complaint would be that it seemed slow - about 10 minutes to get my latte. Only 4 or 5 people in the place; no one waiting at the counter to put in their order. Maybe I got there just after a table had ordered and sat down? They have expanded their hours 7-7 M-F; 9-5 weekends.

I'd like to try the pannis but I suspect the service would be fairly slow, since it took a while for the croissants and those were ready-made just reheated.

The space is modern, warm and cozy. I also had a decent espresso, nothing special at all. They serve Doi Chaang coffee, a great cause but unfortunately not locally roasted. Tue Nov 10 14:30:35 -0800 2009 5117778 116520 sebell 2 5171110 Doi Chang is locally roasted. Same folks who used to be Planet. It's not roast dated though. Their espresso is Abiamo (aka The Planet) Angel's Espresso. Also not roast dated. Tue Nov 10 15:14:10 -0800 2009 5171020 12135 John Manzo 3 5172898 Oh, that's good to know. I just assumed it wasn't roasted in Calgary because the website doesn't mention it. Thanks. Wed Nov 11 09:57:30 -0800 2009 5171110 116520 sebell 4 5206340 J.Manzo is correct: Abiamo roasts its coffee localy in Calgary. Coffee comes directly from growers. There is a lot of information on their website ( google: ABIAMO coffee). It is a new brand owned by two experienced people in both the coffee and restaurant business.
