Chicago's Guide to French Holiday Treats

It is officially that time of year when the temperature begins to fall more and more each day.  While we are anxiously awaiting the snow to fall, we are also welcoming the holiday season with lights strung through the branches of trees and ribbon wrapped around street lamps like presents. Whether there is snow piled on the ground or not, there is something special about winter in Chicago. Lucky for us, Toni Patisserie and Cafe has holiday options to consider.

This European inspired cafe has two locations, one downtown Chicago and one in Hinsdale. Toni Marie Cox brings the Parisian style she adopted throughout her time in Paris to Chicago with cakes, crepes and croissants alike. Savory and salty food lovers - she has sandwiches and quiches for you, too. 

Pick up the Holiday Stollen- a traditional holiday bread packed with fruits, nuts, rum-soaked raisins coated in cinnamon sugar, perfect for your work party. Or impress your family with Toni’s Saucisson de Chocolat. It consists of Belgian dark chocolate ganache rolled with pistachios, candied oranges, grand marnier and shortbread pieces. Toni's traditional peppermint bark and the fun and festive holiday cookies make stocking stuffers.
