Excellent quality food; place is ALWAYS packed. A little on the pricy side. Four stars because they always run out of whole wheat bread by 3pm and don’t bother making anymore after that time; which is very ironic because most people finish work after 3pm and come by to buy bread and there is nothing there. For a bakery, that is seriously bad business!

Easily the best chicken pot pies. The Guinness steak pies are great too! This neighbourhood grocery store is always packed, and it’s no wonder why… They have great service and the fine selection is Un-paralleled

A place where you always get«fresh» everything. They have a wonderful collection of delicacies, breads and cakes along with deli and cheese. For me and my family that’s the only shop for fresh seasonal fruit, flowers, cheese and cakes! Their coffee caramel chocolate chip cake is a must try. For more variety you better visit them earlier in the day, they sell out fast. Prices are very economical yet parking may be a little hard, but not too bad, I always find a spot quickly.

The food is excellent, the parking is a nightmare. I know the location is great for me personally, but they really should have moved years ago to allow for bigger parking!

Beautiful bakery. Lots of ingredients, lots of pre-cooked food you can grab for last minute occasions and parties Anything from steaks, chickens, pastries, desert or cakes. Place is often very busy, but kept very well organized. They have a coffee and food lounge area at the corner so you could eat what you just bought if you are starving :) Did I mention CHESSE! These guy have every kind every invented. All you have to do is ask. Limited parking spaces though and customer are inconsiderate with shopping carts Ive seen and been a victim of them hitting cars in the lot.

Great little grocery that also acts as a bakery and deli. Despite it being on the smaller end of grocery stores, everything is well stocked and organized in such a way that makes it easy to get your shopping done. The bakery offers up a wide variety of baked goods and sweets. There is also a freshly baked goods section in the back where you can get a wide variety of baked carbs like pies, bagels, breads, etc. The section is rather large and the choices seemed plentiful. They also have a deli section that offers quite a large amount of deli meats and cheeses. The cafeteria section on the far left offers hot foods that center around European and Italian foods. They have hot sandwiches as well including veal, chicken, meatball, and other specialties. They also have rotisserie and fried chicken as well. The place seems to be on the pricier end, similar to that of a Whole Foods mart, but not as large. The service here is quick and super friendly, so it really makes for a great shopping experience. Really wish this place was closer to the East end of Toronto as it would be a welcome addition.

I — LOVE — Monastery. I wish I could bold that statement. I love everything about this place — the amazing bakery, the fresh bread, the delicious meat selection, the free watermelon samples in the summer… SO. GOOD. I really recommend their mini cheesecakes and cheesey garlic bread. I always bring a box of their Italian cookies for my Mom, and she raves over them. Love this place!

I LOVE their bakery. You can’t really go wrong with anything from the back of the store. Donuts. Breads. Pies. Breadsticks. Muffins. They make them all in house and they are amazing.

The cheese sticks are to die for!!! Their lasagna is to die for!!! Actually anything there is to die for!!! Parking lot might be the worst thing ever so park far away from the plaza if you are not the best at it.

Peach apple crumble pie … Delicious. Was at a party on the weekend and someone brought some bread and a peach apple crumble pie from here and it was amazing. The pie wasn’t overly sweet which is exactly how I like it. would like to visit here soon.

A great bakery with fresh bread, desserts and an Italian hot table on top of being an over priced Italian grocery store. I bought really good horseradish mustard, black olive pâté and pesto here but other than that I can’t comment on the grocery section. Their hot table is well priced($ 5.99 for lasagna, veal cutlet, $ 2.99 for soup, $ 8.99 for veal and pasta) they had ribs, hot freshly made beef brisket sandwiches, rotesserie chicken and more. I had a hard time picking the 2 times I’ve been there. Both times included the veal and pasta combo and the 2nd time there was their Italian wedding soup, potato wedges, lasagna and chicken samosa. Over all the food is pretty good, nothing wowing except the tomato sauce itself. Although I haven’t rried the brisket sandwich yet. Their bread selection is huge and very soft and fresh. We picked up 2 loaves and finished them that night. Their Italian dessert cookies was a bit pricier than other Italian bakeries but that’s oakville for you. The cookies were delicious and light, broke up when you put them into your mouth. Awesome perk of free coffee when you’re shopping in the store, even though I don’t drink coffee. Rmm to grab a number when you get to the hot table!

The parking lot is abit of a nightmare, its small and takes ages to find a place. But once I step inside, I always head to the bakery section to see what cakes they have. The cheese cake is by far my favorite. Their hot dishes are pretty good as well!

A friend of mine took me to this place and I’ve been addicted to it ever since. Extremely reasonable pricing on the hot and frozen food. For someone like me who doesn’t really like to cook and doesn’t have a lot of time, this place is Amazing!!! If you’ve never been, once you go, you will be Hooked!!!

Le royaume du Français en manqué de sa France, on y trouve de tout, du pain, jusqu’au saucisson! on peut aussi y manger des plats frais, y boire un café! Tout y est pour manger de la bonne nourriture! En revanche si vous voulez manger de la bonne viande, n’achetez pas les sandwich pré emballés, ce n’est pas la meilleure viande du magasin à l’intérieur!
