From The Beltline to Inglewood
For almost 6 years since opening our original Beltline joint, ‘Small space, long waits’ was the most frequent complaint we continued to receive. We could only address this by expanding into a new location – at a neighbourhood that fits the ‘Monki mantra’ – innovation, collaboration & community. Where else would that be besides Inglewood! Our Inglewood breakfast club was opened in April 2019.
About Inglewood
Located just east of downtown Calgary, Inglewood nurtures a culturally rich community of local artists, musicians, boutiques, eateries, breweries attracting locals & tourists alike. The neighbourhood boasts iconic live music destinations like the Blues Can and Ironwood Stage and hosts a variety of festivals aimed at promoting local artists & businesses such as Jazz YYC, Sunfest, Fringe Festival & Mid Winter Film Festival. Furthermore, Inglewood is a popular family attraction with its proximity to Calgary Zoo, St. Patrick’s Island Park, East Village & the Fort Calgary Histroic Park.
Parking
In Inglewood, Parking is predominantly free & relatively easy to find. You will be able to park for free (2 hours) along our block on 9th avenue SE or in the nearby streets – 11th, 12th, 13th or 14th. Being of course incredibly cyclist friendly, the neighbourhood is fitted with bike racks throughout the Main Street (9th Ave) and adjacent streets.
Planning Your Brunch Visit
With a capacity of almost double our Beltline location, our Inglewood breakfast club offers a comfortable, spacey & family friendly dining experience in Calgary. We aren’t accepting reservations due to our limited seating. If you plan to walk-in during the weekend, you may experience a wait-time. You can instead skip the wait & ‘Get in Line’ virtually on your phone. We will then simply notify you when to make your way!.
Enjoy a delicious start to your day by getting breakfast in Calgary’s artsiest neighbouhood!

Had brunch at the Inglewood location and our server Vince went above and beyond for us to accommodate a request that they don’t typically do, thank you! The hollandaise on my eggs Benedict with the pesto was the perfect combination, 10/10 recommend.

The service was impeccable! Food was delicious but I personally didn't care for the crab cake. That's just a personal opinion as my husband did like it. Beautiful presentation and atmosphere. Will return

We had a really great brunch recently. Our server was super friendly, always smiling beautifully throughout our meal. She made our visit better. It's clear that great customer service is a priority here. We totally recommend this place for a wonderful brunch experience. Reserve through Google Map is highly recommended on the weekend.

I really like the nature-inspired aesthetic at Monki. Typically they don't allow outside beverages but we came across this bistro when we passed by with coffee, and staff were super accommodating (and we did also end up getting two more coffees and teas here). Service was great (shout out to Rose who was really friendly) and the food was amazing.Potatoes/hash were light and crisp, without feeling heavy or greasy. The eggs benedict were softly poached as requested. The braised Albertan beef briskey was very delicious.I really enjoyed the food and would definitely recommend Monki!

I've been wanting to check out Monki for some time. A slightly rainy day was a great opportunity to beat the rush. The food and service was great. Would have been worth waiting for if I hadn't gotten in so quick.

Honestly great overall apart from a very loud table on the other side of the diner. It happens i guess but was annoying nevertheless.Our server, Genevieve, was amazing and treated us with atmost respect and kindness. They even sang a little happy birthday song for my wife 💓

Had such a great experience at Monki Breakfast Club & Bistro in Inglewood yesterday. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavour.What really stood out, though, was the service. Tariq was our server and he was exceptional ... attentive, kind, welcoming, and genuinely made the whole experience even better. You can tell when someone truly cares about creating a positive experience for their guests, and that was very much the case here.Highly recommend if you’re looking for a delicious brunch experience, a great atmosphere, and outstanding service. Will definitely be back.
