Monogram Coffee Britannia

Seats: Approximately 56
Outlets: 8

In August 2025, Monogram Coffee’s Britannia café moved next door into Primary Colours’ former (and much larger) space. The move brought a wide variety of seating and plenty of handy electrical outlets in a warm, inviting environment. Food and drink are still at the forefront, with a small, yet elevated mix of brunch and all-day dishes, as well as a creative coffee program backed by world-class baristas (there are several Canadian Barista Championship titles and World Barista Championship placements among the team). The result is one of Calgary’s most well-rounded coffee shops.
