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!

Absolutely loved our experience at Monki! The food was incredibly delicious—every bite was full of flavour and beautifully presented! A huge shoutout to Milton, who gave us the best service! He was super friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to accommodate some allergy needs. Truly made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. We’re definitely coming back! Highly recommend!

My friends and I recently had brunch here and really enjoyed it! The food was tasty and well-prepared. We were particularly impressed by our server, Miller, who was exceptionally professional and genuinely kind. While the cost was a bit steep, the delicious food and top-notch service made it a great experience.

Sarah Mills
Lena was a great server
Nathan Acheson
It's likely the best brunch spot in Calgary. Lena gave us fantastic service, and the food blew my mind with every bite. Coffee was about two notches better than your average diner coffee, and the "Showstopper" mimosa was like the joy of spring in a flute. Overall, excellent experience.
Maryna Lyfar
Very nice place to have a good breakfast . Recommend!

DEATH. ROW. MEAL.This is hands-down my ultimate favourite brunch spot in Calgary!The vibe is fun and relaxed, with a quirky, modern feel that matches the food perfectly. The staff are welcoming and genuinely seem to enjoy being there, which adds to the whole experience. It does get busy (because it’s that good), so expect a wait on weekends - but for me, it’s always worth it.For the perfect order for two: Monki Perogies, Ferrero Rocher French Toast, and Monki Hashbrowns with Chipotle Aioli. You can thank me later!
Robert Diedrich
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
Gurprinkal Mehra
