| - I go here because it's very close to me. Really it's the wifi that brings me in, but I always get a cappuccino too. The cappuccinos are done well, small cups, not too much foam, etc., with excellent flavor. Their baked goods are very good, for the small selection they tend to have. They are a bit on the pricey side though, but maybe that's just Calgary. It can get very busy, very quickly and there isn't a lot of seating, especially when it's cold out. The space layout is a little wonky too, but it seems to be good for socializing.
It does have the best cappuccino that I have ever had. Perfect size and flavor, and the pastries are good. There's a reason it's so popular.
What blows me away about the place though, is how popular it is. What I mean is, where are all the people coming from? For 40 years that little strip mall was dead, nothing really stuck, except for the small convenient store. I'm super happy Monogram is there and doing well, I'm just still in awe every time I go and see so many people. Better late than never, I suppose. Oh, they have excellent morning hours of service, even on major holidays they're open for a little bit in the mornings.
