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!

Monki never disappoints. We went for the YYC Hot and Chocolate/brunch on my sisters birthday. The meals were fantastic. I could not finish my brisket poutine but it was just as great the next day. Others enjoyed the Elvis French Toast and the Brisket Hash. Everyone left very satisfied.

I came in for breakfast with my kiddos & not only was the food amazing as always but our service was 10/10 . His name was Cody, and he made sure to include mommy kids when asking what we wanted and was so helpful when he decided to spill his water. The support staff was also amazing and so friendly.

Went for brunch and got the Brisket poutine and the reverse French toast. It was a perfect breakfast poutine, from the tender brisket, the hollandaise, with a soft egg. The French toast was the cure for a sweet tooth.The service was fantastic and really fast. They had great recommendations and very pleasant to talk to. Definitely top notch service.Highly recommended. But if you want to go there with a bigger party you would need to call and see if they can accommodate because sometimes it’s just too busy.
