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!

Cozy spot and felt like an old school breakfast location. We went for late breakfast. I had the full Monki and thought it was was great. The tots were awesome, eggs done just as requested and the bacon actually had meat on it. Our waitress (sorry, cannot remember her name) was excellent. She was very friendly and always smiling. She interacted very well and matched our humor. Will definitely recommend to others.

I loved my New Year's French Toast. Cody and the other nice lady serving us did a wonderful job.Will be back soon to try another menu!!UpdateTried beef brisket hash and beef brisket benedicts recently. Both are good. I think both dishes need more hollandaise sauce esp the benedicts.My favorite is still their French toast menu.

I really enjoyed my visit to Monki Breakfast Club in Inglewood. The food was delicious and felt thoughtfully put together, with great flavours and generous portions. The standout for me was the Dubai chocolate French toast—it was really good. Rich, indulgent, and perfectly balanced, it felt like a fun twist on a classic without being overly sweet. Everything was fresh and satisfying, and it’s the kind of place that makes brunch feel like a treat rather than just a meal. The vibe was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to linger and enjoy your food. Definitely a place I’d happily go back to for brunch.

This is a must everytime we come to Calgary. Best brunch in town. Stuffed French toast and hashbrowns are a must. Special coffees, mimosas and Ceasars. Can't go wrong with Monki. Join the digital waitlist to avoid standing around waiting for your table.
