Sunday morning, I usually go to the Monastery Bakery to buy bagels for my lunch. It was crowded with many people already there and there were many people waiting in long lines at the checkout counter. I missed free coffee. Previously, they offered free coffee to their purchasers, but now they have stopped since Covid-19 pandemic.

I have been ordering our cooked Turkey from The Monastery for a very long time and we are never ever disappointed! Delivered right to my door. The gravy and cranberry sauce were both delicious too! Can’t wait for Christmas already! I also visit the bakery and deli weekly or biweekly for their hot plates, sandwiches and bakery!

Went to this bakery to pick up a few things before we went to our friends house. This place is amazing. Bakery items are amazing. There is a great cheese selection. Also, grab and go foods and prepared foods to take home. I needed more time to walk around and see what all they have. I can't wait to go back.

Monastery used to make the absolute best potato wedges on the planet that were always available any time of day. Do they still make them? I have no idea because all that's ever there now is an empty tray with a sign that functions as nothing more than a monument to their long-gone glory days.

Disappointed. Monestary bakery always a treat. Today I was in the neighborhood and stopped in. Ordered the strawberry cake 32.00. Double verified made today. At home noticed strawberries old and caving in and cake very dry. Not made today. Be honest. Could have ordered something else.

I ordered 4 trays fruite veggies meat and cheese and gluten free sandwiches tray. Never ordered from monastery before wanted to support local. And wowee. Price and quality so amazing gluten free sandwiches were amazing bread was awesome. Will order again thank you More

The Tiramisu cake was so good that my aunt grabbed a slice and ate it with her hands like Tarzan because she didn’t want to wait for a fork. Definitely would recommend this place but be warned that you may forget how to act like a civilized human being. More

This supermarket & bakery stands out as one of the best in the area, thanks to its impressive selection. I particularly appreciate the variety of imported items available. The fresh food section is also exceptional, offering a wide range of

Very good experience. We had an issue with the ricotta cannolli however, Leo the manager was more than helpful and attentive to take care of the situation and rectify the issue. Not to mention Leo, went above and beyond to take care of us.

The quality of the prepared foods has really gone downhill. I went out of my way to grab a few pieces of fried chicken this afternoon because I remember it being really fresh, crispy and juicey for a good price. This time around it was the

It's delicious. The bakery is fantastic. You do have to navigate the slightly wild parking lot and you need to get there early enough where all the good stuff isn't gone but late enough where they've actually finished making it and putting

Pastries (desserts) look beautiful but don't taste as good as they look. Bagels and bread very good! There were young kids running around touching the donuts and other pastries. Definitely coming here again. Just not for the pastries. More

Yesterday afternoon around 230/3pm I placed a very large order for a work Christmas lunch. Our lunch is fairly early at 1030 am so I placed our order for 9/930 to give them time to make the food. The order cost our group around 300$ and I

Monastery is truly a destination of gourmet delights! If you have never been, make it happen if you love fine food. The Bakery is a highlight, and our #1 point of purchase. Always fresh, extensive selection and superb quality. The Bakery

Love this store!! They have an amazing selection of everything you can imagine! From pastas to sauces to oils, as well as a whole hidden nook for fresh bread and baked goods, and a section for pre-made meals! The pre-made pasta meals are

Went in this morning and found staff not friendly when asked for someone at the Bakery (showed disinterest in wanting to help and made a look). Then saw staff putting out samples of bread while they were eating it as well.. Cashiers are

Amazing quality products and baked goods, absolutely one of the best quality bakeries in Oakville. Absolutely the worst customer service possible, I’ve never been so rudely spoken too, seen other customers be spoken down too and made to

I have been going to Monastery since 1997. It has been my most favorite quality food bakery I have ever been to! I could make this longer, but do yourself a big decision to visit yourself. The staff is amazing, the ownership is family.

Experience with Monastery is great! Recently had a bottled item that was not in stock but they offered to deliver it when product arrives within a couple days which worked great as did not need it for a few days. When arrived in stock

Very scary experience. I bought an Oreo cake for my daughter's birthday on Sunday afternoon. After my daughter ate a piece, we discovered that the cake had become moldy and very hard, and all the cream had gone bad and smelly. This

Placed order days in advance online and set pick up time Had to wait 20 minutes for order and 2 of the sandwiches I ordered were not made as requested. Would not order sandwiches from here again. Cakes a diff story ..amazing More

Awesome bakery/boutique supermarket nestled in our neighborhood. Friendly staff and reasonable pricing. Also great selection of breads, cheeses, fruit and vegetables, oils and vinegars and delicious made in house desserts. More

Must taste the strawberry cake, tiramisu pastry , eggplant lasagna, vegetable pizza. Our favorite food along with many other dishes. Freshly prepared with amazing taste and quality. It's Mind blowing. …

Their bakery is excellent. The breads and pastries never disappoint. They have a great selection of hot peppers, tomato sauces and and ready to cook meals. We drive from Grimsby specifically for Monastery. More

Maybe because I am Sicilian?? The tomato sauce here is terrible. Nothing like home at all. I can't believe they have the people of Oakville fooled into thinking this is what Italian sauce tastes like. YUK! More

Wow. This place is large and busy, and for good reason! We came here for lunch hoping there would be seating somewhere as they sell sandwiches and have an espresso bar, but alas no seating area to be found.

I explored the most tasty cake in the area, they have an amazing selection, you can find a fantastic bakery products, almost everything is fresh, for sure I’ll go back to this great place again and again.

What else can we say! Great selection of fine foods. Fantastic bakery but hurry or you will miss out. Staff is so nice, great hot counter and lovely pastries. Thanks to Leo and his team, always happy.

Ok so the hot food looked good and super well priced, and they had fun candy/choco selections, but it’s not a for me. I feel so compact in the narrow aisle. Here’s my story: I went in and bought

Very nice place to shop. We also ordered catering from Monastery for my husband’s birthday. Everything arrived on time, hot and nicely packaged. Everyone liked the food. Overall great experience.

I purchased pastries recently from here. They were stale and tasted so bad. They only look good from the outside but doesn’t taste that great. Sad to see how the quality is deteriorating. More

Love this bakery! Come to oakville often to visit and get all our fav items. Baked goods hot food and pastries along with deli meats and more! Such a treat and always busy so beware haha

I bought a house at walking distance...just in case - best decision ever! They have great service and products. I love the meats, salads and the variety of fresh produce available!!

It's all good about this place. But in my personal opinion, the workers at the deli should have more knowledge of the products sold and care more for the customers requests.

Great food options, fresh flavourful breads, a large assortment of cookies, quick and easy prepared meals to go. Only omplaint is parking can be tough/stressful. More

Updated: The store finally called me, and said it was their mistake to unpack the cranberry sauce for my order, and they would like to provide me with a gift card.

Still my go-to place for deli meats and some cheese. Produce specials are usually good value, and the hot counter has lots of options. The cakes are excellent.

I had a very poor experience with my catering order on Christmas Eve. I placed an order for a Turkey in Mid November, for pickup on Christmas Eve at

Consitntacy is a key to success, you will get great service and quality on every visit. …
