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!

What a lovely find while we were out exploring Calgary! We stopped in for lunch on a whim and so glad we did. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It's definitely more of a spot for locals and if we lived here I'm sure we would become regulars.

Our server James took such good care of our group while we were celebrating a bachelorette party on Saturday! The food was amazing and James was attentive, personable and made sure we always had anything we needed. It was a great start to the celebration!

I've been to the Inglewood location twice now, and the second was for a bachelorette brunch. The staff were incredibly patient with us, as we had people come later, so that made our experience great!

Monki is the go to brunch in Calgary! I had a skillet with tender pulled beef, and poached eggs with smoky hollandaise. The sauce was delicious! The portion was generous and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is cozy and vibrant, and the staff were friendly and efficient. Highly recommend if you’re craving a brunch that goes beyond the basics. And don’t forget the Mimosas!

Great spot for breakfast in a nice location. The food was tasty, though the salad portion felt a bit small for the price (you can see it in the photo).Coffee was really good! Just a heads up — they serve it with a single shot of espresso by default. Our server offered a second shot, which we accepted, but didn’t mention it would cost an extra $2.75. Most places usually charge around $1 for that.Overall, we enjoyed the visit and would come back again!

I love coming to Monki, it's always a wonderful time. The service is amazing, they are giving honest suggestions about the food and they give you a good feeling while your visit. And about the food: Every dish I had in the past was incredible. Additionally I like that their menu is changing every couple months. In that way you get to try new dishes, when ever you feel like it. I will be back soon. 🙂

Had amazing experience at Moki Breakfast Club! This place has become my go-to breakfast spot — I visit regularly and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home. Whether it’s a casual morning or a weekend treat, Moki always delivers the perfect start to the day. Highly recommended!

Definitely a place you don’t wanna miss if you’re in the area. Absolutely fantastic breakfasts options. The halloumi Benedict was so delicious. The Halloween was cooked so well and the sauce so tasty. The house potatoes were also good and a generous portion. London fog was perfect, made with loose leaf tea and perfectly frothed milk. 10 out of 10 recommend the halloumi Benedict. Service was great. And interior design was beautiful, very green.
