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!

The food was delicious, and everything tasted great! However, the portion sizes were a little small for the price. Overall, it was a nice brunch experience, but I wish the portions were a bit more generous given the price point.

My husband, teenage daughter and I went to the Inglewood location for brunch and will definitely be back. We had a reservation for 10 am and the place was busy. We had a relaxed meal, ate like kings, and impossibly were back on our way in less than an hour! The vibe is cute and cozy with tonnes of natural light. Exactly the kind of place I want to enjoy on a weekend morning. The service was attentive and prompt and the food delicious! I ordered the Korean Beef Bowl and loved it. (Pro tip: Mix it up before you get too far in so that the pickled yumminess of the onions and the heat of the kimchi are evenly distributed. I ended up with a lot of kimchi at the end.) My husband got the Monki Cristo and a flight of mimosas and my daughter had the perogies. They also enjoyed their meals. I look forward to returning to try other menu items! Almost everything can be made gluten free, so this is my new go-to for my favourite meal of the week!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the amazing review! ⭐ We’re thrilled you loved the food and had a great experience. Next time, we’ll try to save you from the 25-minute ‘appetizer of patience’ 😄 but we’re so glad it was worth the wait! Looking forward to seeing you again soon.”
