  • Pazzo, pazzo, PAZZO! Okay, what can I say 'bout this place that hasn't been written 'bout?? First, the name of this place is deceiving. Expecting to walk into *just* a bakery, it was more like an Italian grocery store, complete with samples, a separate café section, a bakery (selling breads 'n buns) + a cakery (what do you call a display case with cakes, sweets, pastries??), AND a hot table all rolled into 1! Even though it's located in a strip mall, Monastery is pretty expansive. (The parking lot was jam packed!) It's also easy to feel overwhelmed by the various counters, hustle 'n bustle of shoppers on a Saturday afternoon. HOWEVER, for each counter, you do hafta grab a # for service, so it's fairly organised with civilised people - at least while I was there! No pushing/shoving/grumbling/or cursing underneath-breath type behaviour. After all, it's Oakville! Tried: - some kinda triangular-shaped cake with a chocolate outside - good, light, fresh, not overly sweet - cappuccino/latté ($1.69/weekend "special") - both good, enjoyed in-house in their café section where there was seating and it was quieter - veggie sandwich ($4.99) - was toasted, tasted fine, but I wished that I had gotten something with meat in it! - pesto pasta ($4.99) - pasta wasn't overcooked, el dente, but lacked pesto/parm flavour, a bit bland, but it was definitely FRESH! - apple/cinnamon crumble coffee cake ($8.99) - took to a family dinner, delish, nice 'n light, not sugar overload, loads better than the crap at the grocery store Tips: 1. FREE COFFEE @ café counter while you "shop". (I was sorta pissed that I noticed this sign AFTER ordering my latté/cap! :( ) This is AMAZING! Whadda great way to encourage people to shop for longer. 2. Some of the pastries run out quickly! For cannolis/neopolitan, go earlier in the day, esp. on the weekends. 3. If you want to enjoy your hot food, take it to the small seating area in the café. You can also skip the line-ups by paying for your stuff there! This is definitely a spot that I'd visit again to buy a loaf of bread and check out more of the hot table!
