Chicago TribuneJune 22, 2012You have to try a sandiwch! Baguettes may be layered with ham or with tuna and capers or with house-made pate, ham, sriracha mayo plus pickled carrot and daikon for a take on Vietnamese banh mi. Read more
Wayne AndermanAugust 25, 2017Sandwich heaven. Apple, Brie, Arugula, & olive oil on crispy baguette clean & delicious. Macaroons & Fruit-Tart exquisite. Espresso highly gratifying. Must do. Raspberry Meringue not to miss.
Beautiful cafe & patisserie in the middle of the Loop. Great quiche, shortbread, macarons, and their devastatingly good salted caramel tart. Service friendly but inaccurate - double check your order.
Lauren BassJuly 15, 2017We had the jambon et fromage crêpe, the salmon toast, and a croqué monsieur, and I recommend all of them! The latte was excellent as well.
René PiersonOctober 2, 2016Nice coffee and very nice atmosphere, we tried the Yogurt Parfait and a Chicken and Mushroom crepe and they were good, better try the Perfect Egg Sandwich it looks Yumi and well served.
Matt CermakDecember 18, 2012This right off Michigan Ave. gem has so much to offer from extravagant pastries to delicious sandwiches. Perfect spot to take a break from shopping and a must try for any foodie or coffee lover.
Zoe YimMarch 22, 2014I was visiting Chicago. I went there for a Wednesday afternoon pick-me-up. Their black coffee was the best I had. Bold & smooth. (Most coffee shops had bitter drip coffees.) Also, refills are free!
Rachael DahlApril 19, 2014The macarons here are a MUST! Incredible pastry, incredible staff. I suggest coming early before they sell out of the pain au chocolat!
Serious EatsMay 13, 2013Le Breton: a ham sandwich with salted butter and cornichons. That's it. But thanks to the baguette that is at once soft and crackly, the those three ingredients are all you really need.- Christopher FlossDecember 16, 2014Toni's is a great lunch option! The soups are very fresh and the daily quiche selections that we've tried are amazing! I want to try their pastries sometime soon!!!
Paula FreireJuly 26, 2015Flaky biscuits, good jam, good coffee. And they agreed to make me a soft boil egg instead the hard boiled one. Give a try!
Time Out ChicagoFebruary 17, 2012The pastry case is full of all manner of European-style cakes, tarts and breakfast pastries. An almond Danish and cappuccino is a distinguished beginning to any day; a pan bagnat is an elegant middle. Read more
Colin MorrisNovember 17, 2014Authentic French food and pastries. Truly authentic, meaning the bread can be a bit tough for my liking. Upscale atmosphere and a little sidewalk seating.
Melissa E.August 14, 2013Happened up on this place as I was "playing tourist" on a day off. Best surprise of the day. Loved my le boeuf sandwich and such a fun atmosphere.
Toni Patisserie & CaféFebruary 27, 2013Did you know we're now offering wine? Relax with a glass over lunch or after work, or stop by and grab a bottle to take home!
Faith RomigDecember 30, 2015The croqué monsieur and the fruit tart is amazing here! As well as the quiche!
The tartine was good, but I was surprised it was served on a rustic bread. Most I've had before were served on a flaky, buttery bread pastry. It was still good. The meringue tart was wonderful!
Joseph B.November 22, 2017Great place for hearty sandwiches. Might be tough to get a spot for more than 1, even post-lunchtime though.
Martha BrownOctober 8, 2016Coffee was good; was able to take time (mid-morning) to catch up with a friend. Lots of hard surfaces so noisy but conversation is possible.
Gardenia Hung-WittlerNovember 6, 2014Toni Patisserie & Café has a French Cuban Sandwich Panini in the Loop, when Cubans are in town looking for comfort food.
The croque monsieur is a delicious way to take a midday break. And the salted caramel tart is dangerously good.
Tracy SloneJuly 15, 2012The quiche lorraine was rich and delicious. It was perfectly paired with a fresh spring mix salad dressed with good olive oil & sea salt.
BJ F.January 26, 2016The eggs florentine on the biscuits with a few cherry macaroons, no better way to start a Sunday!- Serious EatsMay 22, 2013The almond macaron is exceptional with a clear nutty flavor though the filling is on the tough side.
- Serious EatsMay 22, 2013This cafe features a range of baguette sandwiches, along with salads and decadent French pastries.
Chicago magazineDecember 5, 2011The le boeuf sandwich is big enough for two meals, says Penny Pollack and the salade méditerranéenne with buttermilk-dill dressing has a lot going for it.
Jeffrey MoseleyApril 19, 2014Delicious pastries! This is a great place to get a coffee and bite to eat near Millennium Park.- Time Out ChicagoDecember 6, 2011Try the almond Danish from our 100 Best list: This marble-replete space is a fine room in which to drink a cappuccino and enjoy a danish.
redmarkerAugust 5, 2013#softboiledeggs and they were delicious. Part of any French induction program. <3
- Christopher FlossAugust 7, 2015Stopped in for lunch at Toni's today--the le boeuf sandwich is a great menu item!
Ben WoodAugust 31, 2019The crepes are tasty, but you can’t get the œuf et jambon after breakfast hour.
jmmAugust 24, 2012OMG! Amazing. The pan bagnat is not traditionally prepared, the flavored are right and it is delicious!- Time Out ChicagoFebruary 21, 2012If you find the baby trinket in your slice of King Cake from this bakery, you get good fortune for the next year. If you don’t, you get…a piece of cake without a tiny plastic baby in it. Read more
Christine FranzAugust 23, 2015I had the Toni Benedict which was ok. The eggs were a bit overdone for my taste but they have an awesome almond croissant.
Nate BartlettDecember 23, 2012The Croque Monsieur was delicious. Also treat yourself to a chocolate salted Carmel tart.
Best fruit tarts I've had, no competition. You can see pretty little vanilla bean flecks!
Ang PFApril 16, 2013Fabulous hot chocolate! The quiche and salad were just ok, but the pastries looked scrumptious.
