MONKI

Monki in Inglewood

Come get breakfast in calgary’s oldest & boldest neighbourhood!

Be it a weekend family outing, business lunch or a brunch date, enjoy a fulfilling breakfast dining experience in Calgary’s Inglewood.

Monki Breakfast Club & Bistro Inglewood

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!

Its such a cute little place with lovely decor. The food was to die for - very worth the price! The wait staff was kind and did well. When there was an accident at my table regarding my drink, a staff member named Patrick was very considerate and helpful, and made my experience top tier! Highly recommend this place. Will be taking my partner here for dates when he visits the city!

Well, let me tell you, it was an absolute flavour explosion! The caramel latte ☕️ was rich and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness. And the kimchi mash? Oh my goodness, it was a perfect blend of tangy and savoury flavours . Overall, it was a delightful culinary experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a tasty adventure! 🍽️😋Edris provided outstanding service during my visit. He was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful dining experience. His positive attitude and excellent customer service truly made my time at the restaurant memorable. 🌟😊Also, From the moment I walked in, they greeted me with a warm smile and provided attentive service throughout my meal. Kudos to the restaurant for their exceptional customer service! 👏😊

This is an excellent place to go for brunch, but it is very busy and good to know. There is a waiting list that you can get on before you head that direction as it is extremely packed on Saturday and Sunday Friday is a better day not quite so busy. The food is excellent and feels and looks like it is home-cooked.
