Our original Beltline breakfast club is located along the southwest corner of Downtown Calgary on 10th Ave SW right across from Community Natural Foods. Upon coming here, you can enjoy a hearty breakfast in one of Calgary’s oldest heritage buildings! The building’s unique red brick character and artsy surrounds will have you feeling warm & right at home. We are excited to share our building with the Banbury Lane Design Center, one of Calgary’s premier home hardware boutiques.
Having been consistently voted the best neighbourhood in Calgary, the Beltline hub boasts numerous artisan boutiques, specialist local supermarkets as well as trendy cafes, bars & restaurants. In addition, the community is just a few blocks away from the trendy Kensington district located just across the Bow River.
Parking
Despite being at the periphery of downtown Calgary, parking is surprisingly easy to find here! Public parking is available throughout 10th avenue and 12 street SW at modest rates of $1.50 per hour on weekdays and just $0.50 per hour on Saturdays! Furthermore, unrestricted FREE parking is available just a few blocks away on 14th avenue SW.
If you didn’t know, we have bike racks located right in front of our establishment on 10th Avenue SW! Monki loves cyclists!
Planning Your Brunch Visit
Our Beltline-Calgary breakfast club was showcased on Food Network Canada’s Big Food Bucket List on Season 1 Episode 8 ‘For the Love of Brunch’. Being small albeit incredibly cozy, the breakfast club does tend to have a wait on the weekends. However, you can skip the wait & ‘Get in Line’ virtually on your phone. We will then simply notify you on when to make your way! We aren’t accepting reservations right now due to our limited seating but we do have our large,spacious&kid friendly Inglewood location!
Be it a weekend family outing or a quick catchup before shopping, a fulfilling brunch at our iconic Beltline spot is sure to make your day better!

This is an amazing breakfast experience. Not a lot of seating so call ahead or expect to be turned away. But if you get in, I recommend the reverse French toast. It seems to be their special. And pray that you get Lena as your server. She was wonderful

Good morning, deleted my old review, so this is our 3rd or 4th visit 3x beltline location, once Inglewood location. This visit feb 2025 was excellent. Miller was a friendly server. Lady at front greeted, and sat us was so nice and love her outfit 🩷🩷 Had bacon Benny again was delicious with so much flavor, Hubby had brisket hash no jalapeños. Loved it. Hash browns are seasoned well very good. Get on wait list definitely. Coffee okay, lattes taste better. Thank you

Dalton Atkinson
The portion sizes where great, eggs where cooked beautifully. The bacon was nice and crispy just the way that we like it.Absolutely a delicious and great place to have breakfast.The only critique I have for them was the hollandaise sauce. They may have used a little bit to much of a seasoning. The was something off about it, and only a little off by that. Overall great experience.
