I have been coming here since 2001 and have watched them expand into the monster bakery they are now. I love everything here. As you enter, they have free coffee for while you shop. The Cookie, pastry and cake selection is wonderful and is all so delicious.
They have an enormous deli section and will even custom make you a sandwich if you ask.
Let's move to the hot table. This is the most dangerous place if you are or are planning to be on any sort of diet. The food here is SO DAMN GOOD. They have these delicious brisket sandwiches that are to die for - that's if you make it past the mouth watering cheese tortellini and lasagna.
Having a kids party? Grab their fried chicken and wedges and move on - it's better than places who have made a business of only selling fried chicken.
I always buy the litre of fresh orange juice here because it is squeezed in house right in front of you.
How can I write about a bakery without talking about the bread? They have a large selection of the most delicious bread around. Not too many preservatives so it does spoil quickly.
Monastery, I will keep making my pilgrimage to you for a long long time.
