First time here, got the Pork Belly Bennie, Miso Maple Bacon Bennie, and Red Velvet Waffles.Starting with service and atmosphere, we were greeted with a friendly and energetic server in a cozy and aesthetically pleasing space. They constantly checked up on us and were familiar enough with the menu to provide sound recommendations. The café’s internal decoration was very welcoming and relaxing, although the club-like music could maybe use some reconsideration and the plants needed some extra love.As for the food itself, we loved everything from start to finish. First of all, the ability to accommodate a gluten sensitivity by replacing the bennie base was much appreciated. For the pork belly, it seemed to be slightly overcooked but the flavours were there. Having it tossed in the glaze and some additional hollandaise might elevate it even further! The Miso Maple Bacon was good although there was not much miso taste. I got it as it sounded like an interesting flavour combo but it mainly tasted like a candied maple bacon. As for the sides, the Japa Fries were great. We couldn’t tell what made the “Umami” fries deserve their name aside from the very flavourful garlic aioli dipping sauce but the fries themselves were just above-average, double-fried and salted fries.Lastly, the waffles were dense and had a nice red velvet cake texture. Great whipped cream and berry compote.The only thing we would change about the dish is to remove the bananas as it is such an overpowering flavour that completely takes away from all the good things going on.Will recommend to all my friends coming to Calgary!

We had some quick brunch at Sammie, WOW, the food was really amazing, very very flavorful, seasoning on point, nice and clean dishes, nicely presented. I had the Jerk chicken Benny, it was one of the best breakfast dishes I ever had. The server is Amazing, very kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for breakfast or brunch. ❤️❤️

My absolute favorite brunch spot. They have monthly specials by the chef and are always amazingly creative and delicious. I would live here for breakfast if I could!Edit: might have been an off day but their eggs were overcooked and the pork belly was dry last time I went... I'll re-evaluate next time I go.

Worth every bite portions are quite large :) and filling!
Went to Sammie's today to get some hot chocolate. The guy at the front wearing the toque had quite the chip on his shoulder. It was off-putting enough that we won't be coming back here, which is a shame because we used to like this place.

We had a fantastic lunch here today. The food was excellent with with great variations on classic favourites. The selection was reasonably broad considering the style of restaurant and it is obvious care has been given to crafting this menu, despite its breadth. We had a small issue with one of the dishes but the care and effort putting into resolving it was excellent. Strong recommendation.

Went with a friend for breakfast. I got the "All Day Brekkie". Honestly, there was nothing special about this meal. Toast was dry, scrambled eggs were a bit too runny. The service was okay. Took a little longer to get our food. Also, the space felt tight; we were right by the door. Overall, not a bad spot but not amazing either. Just okay.
