Monastery isn't your typical bakery and deli - it must suffer from the Napoleon syndrome because it's massive! Much larger than any typical bakery and deli has a right to be. It's actually closer to a small local market.
With pastries, snacks and a coffee bar on one side of the super-bakery-deli, a hot table on the other which serves up some pretty awesome fried chicken (about a buck a piece), a large fresh bread and cake selection at the back and a huge assortment of cheeses and deli meats in the middle, this place is a huge hit will Oakvillians.
The banana bread ($8) is superb, and the coffee cake ($9) is pretty darn good as well.
Cookies ($1.50) are ok, nothing special. I'd pass on the somosas ($1.25 each) as well.
