Toni Patisserie & Cafe

Let me start with a confession: I’m not exactly a French food guy. Give me a burger or a plate of kabobs and I’m happy. That said, we took my sister-in-law out for her birthday and this was her pick, so off to Toni Café we went—with an open mind and an empty stomach. We ordered the egg sandwich, blueberry lemon French toast, La Dinde, quiche, and a few almond croissants. First off, major props to the staff for being great about our son’s allergies. Super patient, helpful, and reassuring, which immediately earns points in my book. The egg sandwich was decent, but it didn’t really stand out compared to everything else we ordered. The real star of the show was the blueberry lemon French toast. Crispy on the outside, fluffy like a pillow on the inside, and just sweet enough to make you forget all your other life responsibilities for a few minutes. The almond croissants were next-level. My wife and I split one and nearly turned it into a competitive sport over the last bite 😂. We didn’t personally try the quiche, but my sister-in-law gave it a thumbs up, so I’ll trust the birthday girl. I also had a honey lavender latte, which was decent, though I was hoping for more of that honey-lavender magic to come through. All in all, even for someone who’s not big on French food, Toni Café won me over. Solid spot, great pastries, and definitely worth a visit.

I first tasted their cake at a birthday celebration and was genuinely impressed from the very first bite. Since then, this has become my go to place for every special occasion. The white buttermilk cake is incredibly flavorful and perfectly moist. Not only does it taste fantastic, but the presentation is always beautiful and thoughtfully done. Every order has exceeded my expectations.

Toni Patisserie did our wedding cake for us. It was both beautiful and delicious! We received so many compliments on the taste and the look of our cake from our guests. We leaned into a Christmas theme and Toni did an excellent job taking about three different inspiration photos and combining all into one stunning cake. Each cake tier was a different flavor and all three flavors were beyond tasty. Toni was easy to work with, responsive and it was a total stress free experience! They accommodated and worked with us on developing our flavors. Thank you so much for making our special day beautiful and tasty!!!

What’s good? Cake with raspberry coulis. A “fall back” birthday dessert. Toni’s is small and mighty when it comes to fresh pastry, sandwiches, cookies and cakes. Usually busy but does not feel crowded. They’ve sort of captured a slightly euro feel in suburban Chicago.

Toni’s is Hinsdale’s gem. They serve a delicious variety of foods from pastries to meals. I especially love their egg sandwich. Their potatoes are fabulous and oniony. There isn’t a bad item here and I definitely would come here for a great snack or meal!

I ordered a sandwich cold turkey and the bread was nice and crispy! Loved it, tastes like what my mom would make. The lemon bar was a bit eggy for my taste, but the tart, and cookies are definitely worth going back for. Be prepared to wait a bit if you go, seemed they were short staffed with only one person in the kitchen.

I tried one of their cakes at a birthday party and it was so good I started ordering cakes for all events from here! The white buttermilk cake tastes amazing, highly recommend. The designs always turn out great.

I very much enjoyed your cake which was eaten tonight. Chocolate with mousse & jam filling. Delicious! Have not visited your bakery yet, bcuz my parents brought the cake for my child. Amazing! Kudos, keep up the confectionary rhythm going! Fantastic on 1st bite—-emphasized

I stopped in about 15 minutes prior to closing so I'm not sure what their typical selection is. They had lots of macarons when I was there, but those aren't my thing. I did buy a chicken pot pie and beef bourguignon, and we had those for dinner. They were pretty good, and though I'm glad to say I have tried beef bourguignon It's not my thing. The chicken pot pie had a lot of mushrooms in it and I'm not a mushroom fan but it didn't mess with the flavor too much for me. I liked the way they construct these since they sell them for folks to take home; the filling is separated from the puff pastry topping by a piece of parchment paper to keep it from getting too soggy, so then you heat it separate and place the puff pastry on for the last five minutes. I also got a pot de creme to try since that's a treat I haven't had before. It was not bad, though it had nuts on it which I hate. But the custard, salted caramel in flavor, wasn't bad and now I have a couple of pots to try making it someday. (Will I? Time will tell....) They have a fairly standard drink menu with some rotating specials as well, and I picked up their fall chai latte--apple spice, I think it was? Not bad and a much more unique flavor than most other ____ chai latte flavors that are offered in summer (usually those just taste like chai). Service was friendly. There was someone there who had just started given the sorts of instructions she was getting but she did well. It very much has a French/European cafe sort of feel. They have tables both inside and out. Parking is on the street but there's also the Metra station down the road.

We go here almost every weekend. The food is exceptional! The owner and her husband are also very nice and welcoming. It is more of a casual place that you order at the counter, but so so worth it!

What an adorable and lively cafe. First visit got a croissant and quiche Loraine. Amazing selection of coffee drinks and teas. Almost feels like Paris, but with lower ceilings.

Best pastries in town! Love the cherry turnover, almond croissants, and the cakes. We ordered a cake here for my mom's 70th bday and everybody raved about it.

Couldn't have picked a more perfect place for my birthday lunch than a cozy set of tables at Toni with a small group. The lunch items are all delicious! Sandwiches on their perfect fresh baguettes, the soups, the thick slices of quiche. Everyone enjoyed their selections. And after lunch, we all went back up to the counter to choose from their famous French desserts to enjoy with coffee. The staff were all super sweet. Life is good! Thanks Toni!

The most beautiful cake of all time! The cake looked exactly like the inspiration picture I sent I am so happy with the results !!

We love the white chocolate mousse cake!! Excellent customer service and the cafe is so cute!!

Stopped in to try out this cute café and the iced almond milk mocha is delicious! Such a cute and cozy little place with yummy pastries and baguettes!

Now this one is a gem The best of all chocolate raspberry cake and slices and the best of all vanilla raspberry cake and ... slices . The workers are ultra nice... food in general is great. Atmosphere elegant and romantic - great spot for youth to mingle. I wish the chairs are a little bit softer and more comfortable but maybe that's by design.

If I could give ten stars I wouldn't from ambience to service to food everything was on point!!! Met a friend here that reached out on social media and it was just a blessing ! Ended up chatting with people around the world! It funny how sometimes everything that you've experienced in your life is just at the same time at the same place:) Had a glass of wine raspberry tart and a cup of coffee

While the pastries in this bakery are good, they are expensive and the service is lacking. The person behind the counter has forgotten part of my order that I paid for during my last three visits. Today, I ordered a slice of quiche heated up and waited over 10 minutes. I was in a hurry so I left without the quiche that I paid for. Not sure I will return.

Forgot to make my large catering order for the second time. This time, I lost my cool! People plan events well in advance only to have businesses that frankly don't care about your business, sabotage your plans and steal your joy. Canceled a future order in response and was told simply, "no worries." They do not deserve your business. Steer clear. Many mistakes made and they offer nothing in response not even a sincere apology. Shameful

I had a custom pizza cake for my husband's birthday. Pepperoni and giardinara, his favorite. It was perfect and the staff at Toni's were a delight to work with.

I absolutely love coming to Toni Patisserie. I used to frequent their Chicago downtown location pre pandemic but since I'm in Hinsdale quite often I have to stop and treat myself. If you're in the area you must stop by! I love all the soup and sandwiches they offer not to mention coffee and pastries. You won't be disappointed!

This place is so busy!! It's a small little pastry shop with brunch food. The seating is very limited so I wouldn't recommend staying for long. The pastries I got were macaroons, fruit tart, and a coconut strawberry cake slice! I highly recommend the raspberry chocolate dessert. I really liked the taste of all of them. I also got lattes and coffees. It was good! I'd come again for sure.

Paris is where my company has its HQ. Toni is similar, on par or even surpassing the quality one expects in France. 4 visits to Toni and about 12 visits to Paris is the basis of this review. Quiche and a croissant is what I loved at Toni today. The staff is superior too!

Excellent achocolate Chip cookies.. the best in town but also most of the suburbs. Freshly baked, soft in the center, crispy around. You know what im talking about when i say JUST RIGHT. If you dont, i feel sorry for you. Go in and get what you deserve.

I don't usually give 5 stars for a counter service restaurant, but this is a great place! I had chicken salad on a brioche bun and it was delicious. The chocolate chip cookie was also great, but free coffee at check in sealed the deal! The place was clean and comfortable. I'll be sack as Arnold would say!

The food and the service have always been impeccable at Toni's! Great sandwiches and quiches plus the cookies and pastries are to die for! I have never been disappointed and have been patronizing Toni's since they first opened in Hinsdale. I've even used them to cater a baby shower and they made the desserts and wedding cake for my son's wedding. Magnifique!

This place is great for lunch and treats as well as custom cakes! We love Toni's! We try to go weekly!

Nice little cafe and patisserie. Old ladies lunches. Maybe cute if you're from the area? Reminds me of the 80s. The croissants were basically sold out but at least the few left over were acceptable by the standards where i live. I'd go back, esp since patisseries seem like more of an amenity than a staple in the area.

I has the privilege of visiting Toni's while I was in the suburbs visiting my mom and it didn't disappoint! I have been following the bakery on Instagram for years and vowed to visit at some point when I was visiting my childhood home. Thanksgiving week of 2020 was the time I had to visit the bakery and everything was so deliciously stunning! The customer service was great. It was a brisk day of business but I was quickly helped. I like to tell people when I am visiting for the first time so they can suggest their best or most popular offerings and based on suggestion I purchased a few mini pastries as well as some cute packaged cookies and a box of reindeer crunch popcorn mix. I was a bit sticker shocked on the pre packed items. The price was not clear where they were sitting and the package of plain vanilla and chocolate shortbread cookies was $10! I know presentation matters but it was a little steep. And the small box of reindeer crunch was $5.95 or $6.95 I can't remember but it also was a little "uncomfortable" in price. I will stick to the items in the pastry case that are clearly marked. I didn't think the cost of the mini fruit tart or the raspberry meringue was too much and I thought the delicious cake slice was a fair price as well. I would visit again when I am in the area because the bakery case items I enjoyed. The grab and go packaged items were a little too simplistic for the price. You were clearly paying for the packaging and grab and go convenience of a gift. The bakery is neat and clean and the staff was friendly and informative, so definitely check it out, just skip the grab and go items.

I love the white cake. It's not overly sweet and has the perfect texture. I would not get the macaroons again. They were super crunchy, it didn't seem they were cooked correctly. Or at least the batch I had. The strawberry tart was delicious! I also had a mini raspberry dessert which is on top of a cookie and chocolate. It was pretty good! The chocolate brownie is very rich.

I love this place. I go here multiple times a week. The only issue I have is sometimes the girls that work the counter are a little odd. They will sometimes talk about their lives/ problems in front of you with each other, but they are usually high school girls just doing their job. The food is amazing, and it is the cutest little café! It is a bit expensive, but it is all very quality fresh made pastries. they have the best cake, and I go out of my way to get their cake for every birthday that I have.

Great sandwiches and good pastries. Customer service was also a pleasure and the best part about this place. Is they accept cash? Unlike some others in the area

I worked with this business to get gender reveal party cookies here. The mom to be wanted neutral colors & I shared a Pinterest post with Caroline and she was very upfront about the amount of detail, cost range for each design I had sent etc.! It was helpful as I decided to simply a cookie to help with the price a little. Everything was easy about this process! I reached out about 2 weeks prior to the event day and picked them up the afternoon before. The cookies were delicious (type of shortbread with royal icing) & everyone was blown away by how great they looked!

O U T S T A N D I N G!!! Cannot say enough about Toni & her staff for making my Tiffany theme -sweet table-bridal shower a TOTAL beautiful show piece.

As a Chicago's Top 10 Wedding Planner, I know quite a bit about cake and where to go. We worked with Toni often with our brides and she always delivers, her cakes are delicious, and her team is the friendliest! We had three flavored cake which were Strawberry Mango Mouse, White Chocolate Mousse with Fresh Raspberries and Crispy Pearls, and Creamy Matcha. Everyone was raving how unique and delicious they all were. It was also a seven tier cake that towered above our dance floor. People could not believe their eyes. If you are looking for a baker who can deliver a cake as beautiful as it is tasty then look no further.

Excellent Eclair, oatmeal cookies and coffee. Very friendly staff. My wife loved her raspberry kiwi treat. The also have Kings cakes French and New Orleans style. Looked good but you need to eat them with a crowd of friends. Great place

I had these pastries at my future sister-in-law's bridal shower last year, and we went back recently to look and try some for mine coming up this summer. I am floored with the quality of these desserts!! Every single one is not only beautiful, but delicious. There wasn't a single thing we tried that we didn't like. If you're a person who likes lemon flavor, you need to try the lemon bar. It's the best thing I've ever had.

Fantastic customer service and incredible cakes! I miss the Chicago Loop location on Washington St - used to love stoping there for a great sandwich and sweet treat. Alas, the pandemic saw the close of this location, but I kept tabs on the Hinsdale location. Flash-forward to early October this year, I knew I would be in Hinsdale on a Monday for an appointment and so I ordered their incredibly flavorful white chocolate cake and asked to pick it up late afternoon. That Monday as I was getting ready to leave, they called and said the person who took my order had forgotten they recently changed their Monday hours so they would be closed when I arranged to pick up the cake, could I come by Tuesday? I explained that I live on the far South Side and wasn't planning on making an extra trip out there. I fully expected them to cancel my order or charge me for delivery - I was shocked when I was told they would deliver it to me Tuesday at no charge! It was absolutely perfect and so delicious! Happy birthday to me! That's amazing customer service, I will be a fan for life!

If you're in a pinch this place will meet your needs for average baked goods but you're better off to head somewhere else. This is just a marked up Mariano's as far as quality.

Wish I could give more stars! We've been coming here since it opened it's doors in '94. They also did our wedding cake and it couldn't have been a better experience, especially when it came to meeting Toni for the tasting, the design process and exceptional quality. It was one of the highlights of our entire wedding planning process. Every now and then we stop in for a treat and coffee! Everything is made with loving care. This place is truly unmatched and brings back so many fond memories.

Toni made my wedding cake for July 15, 2022. When we went for the tasting, I just got a great vibe from Toni and new we would end up using them for our wedding....I was not disappointed! We had a 3 tier cake (2 tiers were red velvet with cream cheese and 1 tier was vanilla sponge with lemon curd) both flavors were amazing!!! I had the florist deliver fresh flowers and Toni decorated the cake beautifully with them. The cake looked exactly like the sketch she drew up at our tasting. Everyone enjoye the cake and especially the frosting! Thank you so much Toni and everyone else that took part in helping make our day more special!

I spent a day ridiculous amount of money on my son's 5th birthday cake, it was raspberry and lemon and something else amazing that I'm pretty sure could have doubled as a wedding cake except it had a race car theme. I can't say it wasn't worth it though.

A Baby Boy Shower cake. The mommy and daddy to be , my son and daughter in law worked as seafood brokers and met over octopus. So our theme was Octopus and Tony's Patisserie was able to create the most adorable octopus cake and the cake fresh and moist and wonderful to taste as was to look at. It was a white cake with lemon custard and fresh strawberries with a semi naked frosted cake of butter cream. We also ordered the mini canolli and mini eclairs and mini meringues. Everything was fresh and tasted great. I would highly recommend your next event using Tonys Patasserie I worked with Carmen and Ashley and they gave me their undivided and professional attention and recommendations and my event was picture perfect. Thank you Tonys Patasserie and Cafe.

Nothing Compares 2 Toni Simply the best wedding cakes. Great food, desserts and customer service at both locations. We keep coming back each year for the same cakes. Highly recommend this place.

The quiche is my favorite, but custom cookies are a party favorite. This small adorable patisserie and cafe is a true hinsdale treasure.

Cold small coffee and a croissant for eight bucks!? I would not make this my regular place for morning coffee.

Such nice, kind staff. Great lattes, lemonade, pastries were amazing. Very pretty shop!

Wowza!!!! Should have known when I only saw 3 in line on Xmas eve that this place was a dud!!! Way over priced even for Hinsdale !!! And quality not good either $15.00 for a tiny rum ball? I mean WTF!!!! Most of the goods we took home were not fresh at all !!! The few who were in line (I'm guessing from Hinsdale ), blinded by their excessive wealth don't care about price , but even they wouldn't over pay for bad bakery goods ??? This place is destine to fail imho!!! Steer clear and go to DD if you crave sugar! Happy new year!

Outstanding pastries cakes sandwiches quiche and salads . Prompt and courteous service .

Cute bakery and exact replica of its downtown location. We had various macaroons and raspberry meringue which was delicious . The latte wasn't warm enough for me though and the restroom is located past the baking area sort of weird location .

The selection of actual bakery goods that are available to purchase as a walk in is very slim. They had 2 different types of croissants, elcairs, macarons and a few other things. Honestly, there just was not enough of a selection to be able to rate any higher. The store is cutely decorated and clean and service was good. It appears that many of the higher reviews are based on their actual custom cakes so I am am only basing my rating on what I was able to purchase as a walk in customer. I will say that the croissants we ordered were good, very small but good. In the future I would like to try a custom cake, perhaps.

We ordered my daughter's 5th birthday cake here this past weekend. The cake was moist and frosting not too sweet. I have ordered here and the Chicago location in the past, both are really good. I recommend this place for cakes! I have to check out the other pastries they have next time. The price for the cake was very reasonable. We got a 10 inch with chocolate and vanilla cake, buttercream with fondant and it was $145.

I tried again. I tried because I was told by my neighbor to try it again. But I was left with an overpriced pastry that was too small and about $10 less in my pocket.

update: had our wedding and Toni didn't disappoint. I also added on a choc ganache choc cake with choc mousse for the hubby's bday and two extra pastry trays. simply delicious, rich yet delicate cake, wonderful butter cream, beautiful presentation. thanks toni!

Most delicious cakes I have ever had. The carrot cake and white chocolate mousse were incredible. Money well spent. 5 stars! Thank you for providing our wedding cakes.

Man just found this gem. I ordered a custom cheesecake for a friend's birthday party because she loves cheesecake. It was hit. It was one of the best I've had. Additionally, while I was there picking up the cheesecake I saw one of my favorite things in the world... quiche, so I bought a slice and I have say it was amazing. Light flaky crust smokey bacon...man it was good. We plan on ordering an entire pie for Xmas morning. Can't wait.
