Toni Patisserie & Cafe

This was my first visit to the cafe. I absolutely love the decor and atmosphere. They have indoor and outdoor seating areas. They offered several choices for a savory snack or breakfast. My mother does not eat meat so she was excited to see a couple choices to choose from as well. The drink menu had many choices as well and my mother ordered a decaf coffee but worker said they did not have any brewed and instead of brewing some, one reason for the four stars, she offered her a decaf espresso. I ordered a blood orange Arnold Palmer. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant sandwich and my mother ordered an apple streusel. We both enjoyed our food and drinks. The other reason for four stars instead of five is that we received our drinks immediately but then sat and sat and sat waiting for our food items which I believe the lady taking a order forgot. I had to go back to the counter and asked her how do we get our food and she said oh I'll get it for you. She then made two more drinks before bringing us two items that she just basically took out of the case and put in a bag. She didn't even warm up the sandwich so I thought it was a little bizarre that she could not have just taken those two items out prior to that and gave them to us. So we actually sat for some time waiting for her to pull two items out of the case to hand them to us. I literally think she forgot our order and just didn't remember to give them to us until I reminded her. Had I not, we probably wouldn't have got them, so other than that our service was okay. If you're in a hurry and there's a line, probably not the best place to go. We were not in a hurry so the line wait was okay. It's a cute place to meet for a drink or a quick breakfast. If you need to order a cake, or get a cookie or pastry gift this place would be nice for that as well.

Toni's doesn't disappoint! This place made charming marzipan-covered cakes for me decades ago. It was called Toni Marie's in those days. I was in town again for a brief visit recently and wanted to see if the cakes were still as delicious and whimsically appealing as they had been. Steve was a pleasure to work with over the phone and online in crafting the adorable marzipan-covered cake shown below. In an early celebration of Sea Otter Awareness Week, I requested a design with otters holding paws and sent over a few simple online pics to give a general idea of what I wanted - otters, kelp, and purple sea urchins. I couldn't have asked for a more spot-on result. The interior was carrot cake with buttercream filling. Amazingly good with the marzipan! The cake is quite substantial and I felt it was very fairly priced for the quality and artistry involved. Thanks to everyone at Toni's for the beautiful cake!

I ordered a birthday cake for my son as a repeat customer (I had gotten his cakes and my other son’s cakes from them previously). He was very excited for his paw patrol cake, which I had personally designed with their team! I sent my husband to pick it up on his birthday. They said they had no record of me ever ordering the cake. They offered no apology and no solutions. They acted as if I were a crazy person when I approached them about this. I had no cake for his birthday party. I was shocked to have such a poor experience and can no longer trust them with any orders for important events. I have not been back since and neither has my extended family.I can’t respond to the owner’s response, so I am updating my original post. Number one, I would like to point out the continued lack of accountability on Toni’s part. Let’s not rewrite history here. My husband was told you had no record of my order. I got on the phone and said exactly what I ordered and was again told I never ordered anything. There was no cake offered. My husband bought a cake at full price that was nothing like I ordered and was not paw patrol (which is really the only part my 4 year old cared about). There were no repeated phone calls to me. If there were I wouldn’t have had no birthday cake for my son. A simple, we’re sorry what can we do to make this right (then and now) would have gone a long way.

Until today I’ve only had cakes from here which are spectacular. Then today I went and had some breakfast. The croque monsieur was so tasty as well as the quiche Florentine. I also liked my spicy chai. It’s such a cute little bakery with some cafe seating.Kid-friendliness: My 4 year olds went with me and ate some cookies and croissants and loved them. There were a couple other little kids and too.

Would give zero stars,but it doesn’t allow for that.Ignored me and my son for 15 minutes at two unmanned registers. Wasn’t busy. 5 people behind the counter. None seemed concerned about helping customers.Would like to rate the food,we never got the opportunity.Won’t be going here again.Ever.If you’re looking for that snotty Parisian experience here in the US,I’m guessing this is the place.

We used Toni's Patisserie for our wedding cake on 10/1/22. Toni couldn't have created a more beautiful cake design - we described our vision to her and she completely delivered. She was great to work with and it was fun being in the bakery with her while she sketched the design. Thank you Toni for making us such a beautiful cake! The flower details were gorgeous!

I’m leaving this review because this has happened to me several times before and it needs to be addressed: it seems like their register system is too complicated to ring up someone as well as make the drink/grab the treats. I think this could be solved by having 1 person on register and 1 person on collecting the goods/making the drink. I ordered 3 of each holiday cookies as well as an oat milk matcha. The gal did not know how to make a matcha-no problem, that drink probably doesn’t get ordered often. The manager came to show her how to make it, but when I tasted the 1st sip (street I drove away), it was NOT non-dairy milk. A previous time, I did not get 3 of each cookie that I ordered, I was charged for 8 separate sets of 3 cookies but only received 6 of each the sets. Again I feel like these could be easily resolved with better training and a simpler way of ordering/using the register.

Once great Toni's Bakery in Hinsdale has lost a 20+ year customer. The last three times I've ordered from them it's been chaos and their quality has gone way down hill. Service is BRUTAL. I ordered cookies for the holiday, the girl told me they would be ready for pick up for me and they were not. Too late to re order before the holiday. No apology-- apparently they have too many customers to care about losing one.

First time here and I'm so glad i just stopped in after lunch at Fullers Tap & Grill. Fresh delicious desserts. I live in Downers Grove and I've never found a bakery with desserts i like. I love the mouse cake and tarts. I'll be sure to return again.

I am SO impressed with this bakery! The cookies and macarons were some of the best I’ve ever had. I bought an assortment for my family and they were gone in minutes. The pistachio macaron and the raspberry meringue tasted so fresh. I cannot wait to come back here

Our wedding cake from Toni's turned out amazing! Toni was great to work. We did the to-go tasting (huge servings!), and chose the white buttermilk flavor with vanilla bean custard + fresh strawberry filling. It was a hit! Would highly recommend Toni Patisserie for your wedding cake needs.

I absolutely loved our cake wedding cake! I sent an inspiration picture and they absolutely crushed it. I was from out of town but they were so easy to work with. The cake was delicious, too! I cannot recommend them enough.

Great little spot that reminds me of Paris every time I visit. Best visited in the morning as things are most fresh then. Very good customer service and staff. Sometimes patience is required as if in France :) Idealic for weekend mornings.

They make everything in-house except for a couple breads. The food we tried was delicious. Key Lime tart is great. Refreshing lemonade and peach tea. My only knock is the lack of air conditioning. They do have small tables outside, so a spot of shade and slight breeze were welcome. I would definitely stop in again.

I tried their almond croissant, it was so amazing that I didn’t have time to take a picture. Their vegetarian baguette is also very fresh and delicious. We’ve also tried their Lemon tart and coconut tarts, which are good. Looking forward to coming back to try more things!

I know it is a tough time for food and beverage business and I understand if they were under staffed or something. Not to mention they just closed their Chicago branch. But I was absolutely shock to see how the cake turns out despite what the representative said and described how it was going to turn out. I couldn’t send the cake back or anything as I was in a hurry when I picked it up. I also feel really bad if I was just making a scene and didn’t pay the rest for the cake just because I did not like it at all. But oh well... I guess it’s just my bad luck!Edit: i emailed them on the 19th and they reached out to me by apologizing and gave me discount for the cake on the 23rd around the same time when I wrote the review. So from 1 star, I’m giving them 3 stars for their service. I sincerely hope this could be better.Also i added a picture of the inside of the cake. Which supposed to be strawberry buttercream cake.

Cakes are too sweet. If you are looking for European type cakes which offer just the right sweetness without overdoing it, look elsewhere. If you like your cakes overly sweet, this may be the place for you. Sadly I won’t be back because they put way too much sugar in their products.

I always forget to take photos because I’m so excited to eat it. Everything I have ever tried here has been delicious. The key lime tarts are a favorite in our house with a buttery perfectly thick crust with a luscious perfectly tart filling. The macarons are huge and great textures. The chewy shell with the creamy filling. The pastries are also amazing. The quiche. YUM!I’ll update with photos next time. 😅😅

Maybe I can count but how is this 30 pieces? I ordered 30 pieces for $75.00 for a family party with 30 people. I don’t have time to go back. My fault for not trusting I got an exact number.

The food is wonderfully prepared, made, designed and presented. Prices are totally feasible and the setting is very intimate, warm and safe. Aleks and Taylor (the 2 girls who helped me today) we're just great. I was VERY impressed that they remembered my name and said hi to me when I came in! (I go here often). Great place. A+ !

A cute patisserie that sells gourmet, overpriced cakes. We bought 2 6 - 8 inches chocolate raspberry mousse cake, and they cost a whopping $45 each. The cakes do taste great and delicious but you will probably need to savor each morsel as there isn't enough to go around.

My first time here. It’s a lovely place and very pleasant just being here. I had the roast beef sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. The pain au chocolat was perfect, light and flaky, just enough chocolate, just sweet enough. I will be back to this little slice of France very soon!

What a sweet treat Toni’s is! I ordered online and was able to pick up my order within 10 minutes. The shop is adorable and pastries are delicious. I had a pleasant interaction with the staff. Cannot wait to go back!
