I couldn't be more charmed with Toni Patisserie and Cafe - it's got a cozy cafe feeling packed with savory and sweet treats. I pre-ordered a carrot cake for my husband's birthday and it was so moist and rich and beautifully decorated, it'll definitely be my go-to cake spot moving forward.

Raspberry tart was awesome and served properly in a plate, however very disappointed when we received our espresso/coffee orders in a to go cup as opposed to dine in ceramic ones…. Bakery of this caliber with such service, I was taken aback! No shortcuts please, does not look good.

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!

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!

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.
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!

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.

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.

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.
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.

Shockingly bad coffee. I wasn't even mad I threw it out and walked into the Starbucks. I was upset with management for not teaching thier employees how to make a Latte. Comically bad coffee. So bad that I will forever drink a bad cup of coffee and say "its bad, but it's not Toni bad".

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.

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.
