Chocolate chip cookie was stale, but employee was nice to switch it to a muffin which was fresher. Hence the 2 stars. The portabella lasagna was quite possibly the worst main dish I've ever had. It was a couple veggies covered in TONS of cheese. Not sure why the word lasagna was used, I actually thought it must have been a mistake when they brought it out. Wish I had taken a picture to show how ridiculous it was. Please remove this item from the menu, it should never have been served. read more

The best margarita pizza. I love it. Always the best at Caffe tosi. A favorite spot to go too!

Overall: A good lunch spot, but make sure to bring a wallet. The good: The sandwich and side salad that we split was huge, unique, and easy to share. The sandwich itself was a nice blend of cheeses and apples, and the bread it was on was perfect for the amount of oozing involved (in a good way) The not-so-good: Very expensive for a sandwich and deli type of meal. Some of the specials were climbing towards the $17-$20 range, which is pretty crazy for what this place is. Also, the staff was primarily high-schoolers on their summer break, which is okay with me, but the service lacked as a result. And, the bathroom is a bit odd to get to at first.

We were in town for the weekend and stopped in for coffee and a quick bite to eat on a Sunday. The small is small, but inviting. You order at the counter where they have a nice variety of pastries along with breakfast, lunch and dinner options. We ordered a couple of coffee and a breakfast croissaint with egg, ham and cheese to share. Coffees were quickly served and our croissant delivered a few minutes later. They even took the time to split the sandwich on two plates since we were sharing. It was the perfect way to start our day! read more

In a world filled with Starbucks Pike Place being peddled on every street corner, one yearns for something unique when it comes to daily caffeination. In a country littered with the discarded takeout containers of Applebee's entrees, the desire for something fresh calls out to those who hunger for simplicity. In an era where corporations and franchise owners crowd every highway on-ramp with impersonal cookie cutter eateries, don't we all just want to go someplace familiar, where everybody knows your name? Such a place is Caffe Tosi. Always unique, always fresh, always friendly. read more

Stopped by at this cute cafe after spending hours at Silver Beach and it hit the spot! Everything from the variety to the vibes was insta worthy! Loved the flavors and freshness of all of the items, especially the paninis. The triple chocolate mousse is a MUST for anyone who likes chocolate/coffee. Also the lavender lemonade was FIRE! read more

Wow! What a cute place and fantastic service!! Ordered muffalata sandwiches and the bread was amazing and meats were piled high, thinly sliced as was the cheese. Right amount of olive spread... just like Nola! It came with a little side of pasta salad as well as a little lollipop for dessert! Nice touch! Sandwiches were served in cardboard boxes so super easy to eat from in the car! Covid picnic at Silver Beach! Can't wait to come back again! read more

Aways a good place for lunch. Service is good. You can pick up prepared food to take home. Yummy pastas. The granola cookies are to die for.

Happy I checked them out while in town! My vanilla Latte was delicious and exactly what I needed on a Sunday morning. They were steadily busy but my drink nor my food took long to come out and I was able to snag a spot inside looking out the window. While I was disappointed with my cinnamon roll French toast for being flavorless, they had an array of other options I will opt for next time. The cafe itself is quaint and has amazing kitchen & cooking Knick knacks to purchase. Be sure to check them out! read more

We stumbled upon this cute Italian cafe while strolling through downtown St. Joseph on our recent vacation. They claim to serve the best coffee in the world, and it surely is great!! Tiny espresso drinks and larger cortado and regular brews did not disappoint. Mouth watering selection of heavenly desserts and savory Italian salads. We came here twice. This place definitely gets very busy in the morning. There was a huge line around 9 am on a Sunday. Not so busy in the afternoon. We tried breakfast croissant with eggs and ham, beet salad, kale salad, pesto pasta salad and cuscus salad - all delicious!! The crème brûlée and the chocolate mousse were fabulous. Dogs are allowed outside, but not inside. We will definitely come back again. read more

Have supported Tosi for years. Likely no longer. Spent $51 on a bland, underwhelming lunch. Apparently they stop serving waffles at noon but serve other breakfast? That isn't noted anywhere. Gave us scrambled eggs instead of the egg croissant. When we mentioned this they just handed us a croissant and said to scoop the scrambled eggs on there. Messaged the owner and they read it and did not respond so now 1 star review it is! read more

WOW.. all we had was 2 cups of soup and 1 corned Beef Teuben and 2 iced coffees.. $38??!! And look at my sandwich.. where's the (corned) beef?? I won't be back.. read more

My husband and I have made Cafe Tosi our date night spot once a week and we just can't change that! Food is incredible (he gets the Margarita Pizza and I get the baked salmon or chicken salad)- and we always try a new dessert or side every time. Staff is so friendly each week and we couldn't ask for a better atmosphere late evening! read more

I can't remember Tosi's not being here and the number of special occasions they helped us celebrate Believe it or not we both love the soups!! We even purchase them from their deli! The minestrone is probably our favorite but I also enjoy the clam chowder For them to thrive is our surrender environment, says a lot and I only hope our children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy it as much as we have read more

Little cakes were good but the cookies were hard as a rock and did not seem freshly baked. I was looking for a good hometown bakery and was dissatisfied. Also the customer service was not the best lady was short and dismissive. read more

Caffe Tosi is are go-to place! We love it here! Kim and Jessica are awesome and so are the rest of their staff. Great food and atmosphere. The food is always fresh and delicious. We love the beets, barley salad and all the other fabulous salads they have. For breakfast, the frittata, waffle and banana cinnamon pecan oatmeal are fantastic. They also have yummy lunch options such as their Georgia Rueben which has sliced Turkey, melted Swiss, a tangy ginger slaw and Russian dressing on Paesano bread. Their salads are great too! The Italian Tuna Salad is loaded with fresh baby greens, albacore tuna, artichokes, garbanzo beans, feta crumbles, pasta, parm and crunchy croutons. So good!! By far, one of our fave breakfast/lunch spots in the area! read more

My girlfriend and i had the blackberry cream coffee, which was the coffee of the day. It was delicious! They should definitely make that a permanent staple. The service was great and the place had a good atmosphere in there. It was a little crowded and there was not a great spot to stand to order without being in the way. Outside of that, I thoroughly enjoyed it. read more

Excellent clam chowder. Very tasty kale salad and good corn beef panini! Cute place w a variety of food to choose from.

I have tried multiple things here and the food is generally food. The desserts are from bit of swiss so those are always good. The minestrone soup is more of a smooth blend and not usually what you get at a restaurant, but the taste is fine. Salads are fresh. The Caesar dressing is more vinaigrette than the usual creamy type. Margarita pizza is ok but heavy on the cheese, unlike a traditional one. So the items are more of a spin off of the traditional items, but still ok. The kids who work here are nice but there still needs to be a manager around. I was here recently and not only was my order wrong but the girl at the counter was playing on her phone instead of doing her job. I have only been a couple times and they brought my bag to the register where I paid both times. So I was waiting, not knowing I was supposed to go to get my food down the counter this time for some reason. Instead of telling me where to get my food, she turned to the side and started playing on her phone while I stood there waiting for a few minutes before one of the 4 people standing there said anything. No manger in sight it seems because they would not have let that happen I am sure. Never had any problem with the guys there and they seem to be actually working. Please be consistent as well. The food should be given at the same place every time. read more

Walked into Caffe Tosi right as my afternoon iced tea craving hit. And then I saw the desserts! So, of course, I also had a dessert craving too. Great place to chill, rest a few, and people watch for a bit while in the midst of a St Joseph shopping day. Staff were helpful and friendly. Cute inventory of tea and gift items, as well. Very warm and cozy spot. read more

Stopped for breakfast Tight crammed seating area / could be better if they removed all the unnecessary items like sweatshirts on the counter and garbage can in the way etc . Too much goin on that could make more seating or more room. Food was ok minimum serving nothing special Will look for another breakfast spot tomorrow ... not bad / not great just average read more

From Downtown to Silver Beach, A place to sit and enjoy it all Café Tosi is poised to make this happen. I came in and ordered a BLT, Double Espresso, and Chocolate Croissant. It was on paisano bread and well balanced for a BLT. It came with a side of pickled beets not my personal favorite but a nice touch. The espresso was average they only use illy products and would have liked more options from a place that is a café. The croissant had a nice and flaky soft inside with chocolate not overpowering the dish. The pricing was on par with what I expected from a place that is claiming to use local and organic ingredients. This is where the good ends while the staff is very friendly and helpful. It can take some time to put in order. Since they only have one register and if there is a line be prepared to expect a line and waiting before you can order. When I went it was slow but on a busy day, you might have a hard time finding seating indoors. One suggestion would be to find a way for patrons to order either ahead or to put in their order if they know what they want in a timely fashion.

Been going for 30 years. Great service. Love Anne Kim and Yessica. Awesome pastries and coffee.

There's so much to love about Caffe Tosi. The interior is quaint and like a step into an international cafe. The people who work there are amazing, and their pizza is terrific. I buy their minestrone by the quart. The risotto and pasta dishes are as good as any I've eaten even on The Hill in St. Louis. Summer is super busy, but I love going there in the winter when their lights light up the snowy streets, and the warmth of that place is divine. read more

This place is so cute! My friend and I stopped in for an impromptu lunch during our weekend beach getaway. The menu includes salads, sandwiches, a nice variety of side dishes and various caffeinated drinks. My friend and I both ordered the Curry Chicken Salad, which came served on ciabatta bread. I was not particularly impressed by the sandwich -- It wasn't very seasoned, and the filling was pretty light, especially considering the thickness of the bread. I would have preferred twice the chicken salad and half the bread! That said, my friend had the same meal, and she raved about it, though she agreed it was heavy on the bread and ended up removing much it. My meal came with a side dish, and I requested the Greek pasta salad. It was good, but the portion was TINY, and my scoop included no olives, so I didn't feel as though I got the full experience. All that said, the atmosphere is great, there is patio seating, and the staff is friendly. I'd probably return if I'm back in the area, but would definitely try a different entree! read more

Great food! Just don't expect any "service". You order at the counter and have a seat with your drinks. When they drop off your food, you're on your own for anything you may need. You will have to get up and ask for it at the counter. I did tip 28% prior to sitting down. One swing around back would be nice. read more

3.5. Great spot for breakfast and lunch. Close to the lake and downtown. We got several items to share. Housemade salads and entrees. Also tons of deserts to try. We ordered pesto noodle dish, a couple different sandwiches one was a muffuletta, side salad, and an almond croissant. The pesto noodle dish was salty. Overall nice spot to try. Lots to choose from. read more

DOWNTOWN SANDWICH/COFFEE SHOP Open for Dinner. These dinner cafes are hard to come by. So glad we found you!! A very nice menu of sandwiches, salads. The Muffaletta was generously filled with the meats and cheeses of its heritage. The Georgian Reuben was a turkey version, with a crisp, sweet tangy coleslaw, topped with a Russian dressing. Perfectly delish!! Yummy pasta salads, power salads, potato salad, lots to choose from!! Lots of drinks, coffees, numerous choices!! And those two girls. Young high schoolers acting like owners!!! I've never seen such a hardworking twosome. Teamwork kept a crowded counter covered, prepping the food, delivering to tables, inside and out!! Don't miss a visit here. A real treat!! read more

This place is weird. When we arrived for lunch, there were at least five employees behind the counter, but only one taking orders. The other four just hovered, waiting to shout out the name of the person whose food was up. At one point, I wandered over to the soda case and asked one of the just-standing-around employees how much the bottles were. While he fumbled for an answer, another just-standing-around employee jumped out from behind him and said, "$2.50! They're all $2.50." Guess the extra employees are there to back up the less well-trained ones. Wonder what the extra "F" in "Caffe" is for. I ordered the grilled cheese panini and it took f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to arrive. Maybe they were backed up with other orders or something. (It didn't seem that busy.) But we're just talking about bread, cheese and heat. Maybe a five-minute operation, right? I think I waited 15 minutes. When I got my sandwich, it seemed kind of bland. It supposedly contained "baby Swiss, provolone and asiago," but there wasn't a ton of flavor. Caffe Tosi isn't bad, per se, but I think you can find better (and faster) food elsewhere. read more

I can eat the whole thing by myself. read more

Where the locals and tourists go in St. Joe. Historic place you must try! My boyfriend grew up in this town and brought me for the weekend to explore the shops, eateries and beach. This was a must. We both got coffee/lattes and the croissant breakfast sandwiches. I got ham and he got turkey. Man oh man, you could tell the croissants were fresh as they crunched and flaked with every bite. Nice little cafe that offers breakfast and dinner, coffee and wine. Can't go wrong with this must visit cafe! read more

I love your food but I was there May 9th, ordering carry out & the 5 people working up front plus the two in the back, were not wearing masks. They were less than 3 ft apart also. I'm not much for cross contamination & no masks, that's just gross. Follow the rules! All businesses in the state--including manufacturers--must require masks to be worn when workers cannot consistently maintain six feet of separation from others, and consider face shields for those who cannot consistently maintain three feet of separation from other workers. https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98158-528452--,00.html read more

Cute cafe and a packed breakfast spot! We stopped in for breakfast and coffee and were pleasantly surprised. The kids got some baked goods they loved, an almond croissant, a raspberry danish and a breakfast sandwich. I got a frittata with asparagus and tomatoes baked in with a side of fruit. Only 4 stars since the frittata was burnt a bit but that may be due to the fact the place was packed and the kitchen was struggling to keep up. My Americano was perfect. Definitely will come again. read more

Charming little Cafe with great coffee and pretty good food. As a rule of thumb I would stay with the sweeter things food wise to maximize the experience. The French Toast is absolutely delicious and the blue berry muffin is something special. The coffee and espressos are high quality. Lunch is not what they do best. Most of the things from the case a reheated Italian dishes, which are good but not great. Staff is always friendly and attentive. Wonderful spot to enjoy a coffee and sweet treat! read more
