Great little spot for some great breakfast. Service was excellent as well. :) would recommend any of the eggs Benedict. 👍🏼 The regular drip coffee was not strong at all and just average, so if you are a coffee snob- maybe order one of their other selections. Enjoy 😉

Monki Breakfast & Bistro is a decent spot for a brunch outing with friends. The bright and welcoming atmosphere creates a cheerful vibe, and the staff are friendly and attentive. However, I found the portion sizes a bit smaller than expected, and the food quality didn’t quite meet my expectations.
Additional Info and Tips:
1. Menu Highlights: Monki is known for its creative twists on classic breakfast dishes. Their eggs benedict variations and stuffed French toast are popular choices—worth trying if you’re into flavorful brunch options.
2. Seating: It’s a cozy space, but it can get quite busy during peak brunch hours. Making a reservation ahead of time is recommended, especially on weekends.
3. Dietary Options: They offer a range of options, including vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, which could be a plus for those with dietary preferences or restrictions.
4. Pricing: Prices are moderate but slightly on the higher side considering the portion sizes. It’s something to keep in mind if you’re looking for value for money.
Pro Tip: If you’re a coffee lover, their specialty lattes and espresso drinks come highly recommended. Pair one with your meal for a complete experience!

We ordered florentine Benedict, avocado toast, reverse French toast and drip coffee.
The Benedict was tasty, the avocado toast was just one slice of bread so quantity wise it was a bit disappointing, the taste was also bland so nothing outstanding about it.
The one thing that you must order here is the reverse French toast. It was delicious.
Service was amazing, the servers were very attentive and nice to talk to.
Overall it’s a nice place but pricey and but I will definitely come back.

First stop here in Calgary on vacation and came here. Food is delicious but the portions aren’t that big. Would definitely recommend going to this nice spot. Very authentic feel. Shoutout to JB for the quick and excellent service.

Nothing but praises to Tess! He made sure my coffee cup was not empty. And he always asks how we are doing! Also, the food was good, but Tess’ service was spectacular! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Not great, guys.
We came here on a Monday morning with a table ready to go thanks to an online waitlist. I ordered the Morning After Breakfast with scrambled eggs and bacon. Immediately upon the first bite, I noticed the hashbrowns were not warm. Weird. How long were they sitting out for?
Next, the toast was oddly dry (though it had been toasted) but something was definitely off. And was it buttered? Was it not? There was a little blotch on one of the pieces, I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be butter or a bit of grease from other food items which may have touched it. What's going on here? The bread tasted like it had been sitting out for a few days. Or maybe that was the recipie?
I had to ask my eggs to be recooked so that the eggs weren't runny anymore. What I got back was a we'll-cooked scrambled egg, yes, but this time drenched in so much oil I could have used it to cook another egg. Very very disappointing.
We had several servers stop at our table, and our main help was largely inaudible. When he finally cleared our plates, he never came back to ask us if we wanted anything else or to give us our bill. The couple behind us received service 3 times during this time (also getting their table cleared) while we waited with a empty table before someone stopped by and asked us if we wanted our bill. We're we invisible?
This place was largely disappointing and the food quality is not there. My husband ordered the Brisket Poutine and was also left highly unimpressed.

Sorry guys but stiff competition out there and this does not meet the mark.
