I was a bit disappointed in this coffee shop. I was excited to come based on reviews but there were no syrups so my drink was pretty bitter. I also got a frozen drink but it was pretty mid. Lots of seating though. But I wouldn't come back

Special latte

Super cute spot!! Calgary downtown is super cute with many brand new high rises connecting to each other. This place is inside the new 5th ave building, next to stock exchange. Super busy! Super crowded. Finding the location it was a journey itself. It's a massive new building with east/ west and Bow building across. Took me a good 10 -15 minutes to find this. But once I found it, it was easy and nice. Bright, beautiful space. Sweet treats and coffee, lattes and authentic spice chai! Masala chai with latte art? That was a first for me. But their lattes were the winner for me. I had 3 different lattes and chai in about 30 minutes here. I wasn't in a hurry but also wasn't planning on spending all day here. Spent a good 1 hour plus on lunch next door, coffee across the building before getting here. Next time, I'll come here first so I can spend more time here! Busy, long line but very in inviting decor with delicious coffee. They've also won awards in Ireland, Seattle for Worlds best barista Championship!! How cool. Loved my visit! Too bad it's so far, else I'd return and often!

Matcha lavender latte

Really tasty coffee shop. It was raining and cold and I wanted something hot to start my morning off right. I ended up getting their seasonal latte, which was matcha lavender. Very nice and well balanced. The shop was busy when we came, but our order came out quickly. Cute place. Def recommend if you're in town visiting for a good cup of coffee.

Pastry assortment

We came for hot cocoa and pastries and all tasted fantastic. The only downside is drinks were pretty slow to come out and spaced out. The child's hot cocoa we ordered came out last (which you can imagine was inconvenient) and customer service was nothing to write home about. We finished our pastries long before all of our drinks came out. That said - quality was top on the several different beverages we ordered and on all 4 pastries we tried. The shop was obviously very busy (near their closing time) and could've benefited from more staff. Would return again in the future but would likely order to go, as those orders seem to be prioritized!

Beautifully poured oatmilk cappuccino.... I knew I was in the right place when I asked if they do an 8 oz cap (had to ask as the smallest size beverage in the menu is 12 oz). - the barista responded "we ONLY do an 8 oz cappuccino." Right answer!! This space is delightful with a bright and vibrant aesthetic, chill lounge music and cheerful (but not syrupee) baristas. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Calgary.

Spring latte

Yummy latte with their house made almond cashew milk! Cute cafe with great ambiance and friendly staff.

Everyone was super nice!!! As soon as we walked in we weee greeted by smiles and a comforting atmosphere. Both the avocado/lime and the butter/preservatives toasts was the americano. The place was clean, neat quiet and service was quick and tentative. Absolutely recommend

Late love

Great coffee. And a nice selection of breakfast items. Great hang spot for work or otherwise. Coffee made with and delivered with love

WOW this is good stuff. So came here with my colleague and my engagement manager. I got the Nut Mylk Latte (heard that they are famous for their Nut Mylk because they make it in-house) and I got the avocado toast. The nut mylk latte had a sour taste to it. It was pretty good and interesting flavor. The avocado toast was delicious. Well anything with avocado is really good. So the the bread that they use is a very healthy who wheat bread. They did smush up the avocado and they added olive oil to it. Again anything with olive oil is tasty. They place is quite busy. We were not able to find a full size table to sit in. Popular coffee shop. I highly recommend giving this place a try. Its located inside the 5th Ave Place - West tower. Close to where I work and that is a plus.

I ordered the condensed milk latte and apple cheese danish... both were really good! They are very good about checking for food allergies and the girl came and asked me if I was allergic to hazelnut since the item in the oven before mine had that in it. Pretty busy place and the interior was really nice! Not super "comfortable" seats but I could sit there for a while and hang out -- and actually, we did!

Monogram's a cool downtown coffee place with clean modern lines, an inviting space for enjoying some coffee, catching up on e-mail, or just hanging out with friends. The background music (some good alt-rock), at just the right volume, helps create the cool vibe, as does the friendliness of the staff.  Let's get to the coffee. I was in the mood for a dark roast and, while there wasn't any available, the young man behind the counter suggested a nice rich Guatemalan roast - and his suggestion was spot-on, a full-bodied, satisfying cup of coffee.  I also ordered the avocado toast, and here's where I can't really continue with the superlatives. The avocado spread was a bit too acidic - a heavy hand with the lemon, perhaps - and, while the avocado was spread onto a nice hearty bread, the bread wasn't toasted. Isn't that the whole point of calling it avocado TOAST?  My order took soooo long to come out that I didn't really want to send it back, thinking it'd take soooo long to come out again. Also, there was some avocado peel in the spread, making for a bad last bite. Without the satisfying crunch of the bread to complement the avocado, this selection is a miss. So, my suggestion is to just go for the coffee. I'd still recommend it as a cool place to hang out, read the morning paper, or just ease into your day.

Avocado toast on sourdough bread, small cappuccino
Diana S.

I'm not a coffee connoisseur (far from it), but I'm giving Monogram 5/5 stars for the fabulous service and their attention to detail. First of all, why are all the staff so upbeat on a Sunday afternoon? A very friendly and non-intrusive team. Next, they say Monogram has the best coffee in town. I wouldn't know that, but I did notice that their cappuccino is a lot more bitter and thicker than anything that I've had before. There's only one type of milk alternative here and it's a housemade blend of almond and cashew milks sweetened with dates. Tbh I could really taste much of the nut milk in my cappuccino as the coffee was so strong, but it gave the coffee a very smooth consistency. My avo toast was faultless, only wished there were two instead of one slice! The sourdough bread is sourced from Sidewalk Citizen, I think. Lastly, the cappuccino cake with a small glass of sparkling water... Talk about fancy ;) Perfect for working, except couldn't find an outlet.

Colombian batch brew, espresso shot and cinnamon bun. I'll be here a couple more times on my trip for sure!
Dylan E.

One of the best espressos I've had in a long time! Great spot to grab good coffee. Batch brew and pour overs available. My kind of place!

See all

I visited Calgary and have heard great things about the coffee scene so I had to check out a few of…read morethe local cafes. Phil & Sebastian topped my list. The first time I went, there was a trainee barista which was very kind and patient but unfortunately they don't do pour overs anymore - when I pressed them about it, the reason was Covid. I'm not sure what covid has to do with anything since it's a pretty easy thing to keep on the side with low operating cost (I have one at home - total cost about $80) I ended up getting the drip coffee which was quite delicious- they were serving an Ethiopian origin coffee which was bright, fruity, floral but quite acidic. The next day I went back and met another barista who was clearly not interested in being there and was making conversation with another customer about how he hated Calgary and wished he never moved here (apparently from vancouver). While I can understand his sentiment being from Calgary myself and then moving away, it's not really a great way to start the day. The negativity was filling the air. He seemed like a knowledgeable enough guy but I don't think I'll go back if he's there. I ended up getting a bag of the Ethiopian coffee and I'll just make it myself when I get home If you're looking for a place to get a great cup of coffee and go, then definitely check this place out but don't expect to leave feeling energized by the environment. 4/5 bc the coffee and donuts are delicious

What a vibe. Gem in Bridgeland overlooking a park and with private parking spaces. Good spot for…read morework and meet up with friends, and shout out to the cool staff that worked this Friday. Learned about the TooGoodToGo app special they ran today- 12 gourmet bakery items for $13 which my friend and I just happened to be there at the right time to partake! Before this I got a cookie and mocha which both hit all the right points. I'd recommend this quality coffee spot to friends for sure.
