| - This tiny space was packed when my bf and I visited on a Saturday early afternoon.
Unfortunately there isn't much space to hang out inside, but enough seats for those waiting to pick up their drink order.
Instead of having a person at a cashier to take your order and money, we had a young lady ask us what we would like and entered it into her iPad.
My bf ordered an Americano, and I changed my order last minute when I heard someone else asking for a flat white.
It's the first time I've seen the flat white on a menu in calgary. Monogram's milk was smooth and light, as FW's call for "micro foam". I was very surprised that the espresso is also very mild tasting, which I didn't expect. I notice most coffee shops in Calgary use a very robust, borderline acidic bean.
Some may not like this, but for me it was perfect.
Monogram also offers a few treats , coffee makers, custom cups with their logo on it, created by someone in Canmore, I believe, and classes, both group and private teaching how to make drinks.
Although it's no where close to where I usually am, I'm definitely going to come back to try more of the menu and see how this brand new shop develops over time. Love supporting Calgary businesses!
PS One of the owners was there making the drinks and made sure to greet and say goodbye to everyone that walked through the door.
