My favorite place to eat breakfast! I usually get an omelette. My husband has tried many different things and he's never had anything but good things to say about it! Portion size is big prices are small! The gal that work there you could tell they like their jobs very pleasant and really take good care of you. It's not fancy and you can tell things have been around for a while, but it's very homey and inviting. Their bakery items are also very good and incredibly reasonable. I recommend this place very highly. read more

The food is a bit bland the pasty is great though, menu could use a update, but the workers and people are nice and the place is nostalgic, it's a good spot to eat with your grandparents! read more

Prices were fantastic. Servings were huge. We saw everyones plates as they were served and they were heaped with food. A very unassuming place, we thought we had missed it because it looked like an office in a small office plaza. The pasty was amazing and kept us full for hours. The restaurant was small, but full the whole time we were there. Great job keeping customers happy. We saw our had a for sale by owner sign on the front, hoping the new owners keep it as good as these ones do. read more

Truly the best pasty in the UP. Great crust plenty of meat. Quality slipped a bit during COVID but now back to top notch quality as it has been for decades. read more

The sign of a good restaurant is one that is packed with local folks. This proved to be true in our visit to Toni's. Almost every seat was taken, but there was just enough room for our family. We enjoyed a variety of sandwiches, but the draw had been the pasties. They did not disappoint! A perfect blend of comfort-food ingredients in a wonderful crust. On our way out we picked up fresh loaves of cinnamon and saffron breads to enjoy later. Paired with local preserves, they were perfect! read more

Toni's Country Kitchen - Pasty - Bakeries Near Me - Laurium, Michigan

My husband and I always stop in here for one of the best pasties we've ever had. Not only is it delicious, but the service is friendly and very fast. They also have a full line of breakfast items, but we've never tried them because we can't get past the pasty! Highly recommend this place. read more

Great food and great prices but it says that they accept credit cards and they don't. I had to write a check for $11.25 breakfast.

When we arrived they looked closed. We were so happy that Toni's was open! Filled up quickly after we arrived. The breakfast was done perfect. The homemade bake goods were delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back when we are in the area. read more

Eric, TONI's Country Kitchen continues to make a Copper Country "Cornish Pasty" as it was made for over 200 years! This is the a RECIPE that our Cornish ancestors brought from Cornwall, England well over a centuries ago. Everyday they are made fresh along with the best cookies, tarts and crumbles in all of the U S!! My 15 year old grandson, Will comes to visit and his first stop is 3 blocks away! Relatives and friends do the same! Thank you Eric Frimidig for keeping us, and our family members, visiting from all over the country and world! Summer, Winter. Spring and Fall, Eric has our best gatherings ready! Patty Laurium, Michigan read more

Meh, nothing to write home about. I've had way better pasty's with more meat and flavor. Not sure how this place got voted at the top. read more

We're not from the area and were tourists for the UP and Isle Royale. This place was definitely a locals joint. They have a big production of pasty makers in the back with only one type of pasty: corned beef, potato, and rutabaga. Tis all. If you don't like those ingredients, you can order two hours in advance and they can make you something you like. The prices are from the 50s or something. The pasty with coleslaw was $4.50-- most expensive item. I had a grilled cheese ($2.50) with tomato and a side salad ($1.50). We also had a breakfast plate for around $3, I think. That with drinks for four people, $22. My grilled cheese was grilled on meat grease... vomit. Otherwise, it was all great! read more

I'm a first time visitor to Toni's Country Kitchen...and I don't ordinarily go around giving out Five Star reviews "at First Bite". BUT Toni's deserves one for the Best Pasty I had on our recent visit to the U.P. So, I'm just jumping right in and going large! Hubby, DD#1 & I met our nephew for lunch one recent Tuesday and Toni's Country Kitchen in Laurium was the destination. I'm a real fan of Pasties and no one in Kansas City seems to even know what they are! The one at Toni's is a hearty meal and contains actual slices of the veggies plus a great blend of ingredients that I'm still obsessing about a few weeks later. I was going to order it with coleslaw but they were out, so I just went with it plain. Turns out, it doesn't need a thing! Nephew also got the pasty...Hubby & DD#1 ordered something else...I was so focused on the Pasty that I literally didn't notice. But I bet whatever it was, it was good, too. There is a well stocked bakery case up front and the iced sugar cookies are huge, soft and delicious, the Cinnamon Rolls bountiful. The lovely little filled fruit pastries are also good. That day they had raspberry, apricot and prune and we enjoyed all three flavors by taking a little bag of bakery goodies with us for later. Toni's is tucked onto a partially residential street and has handy parking in front. It was crowded at lunchtime and it's very popular with the local population. Our server and the bakery staff were so friendly and helpful, so you will feel like a regular, too, in no time. The space is cozy and you won't beat the prices for a great value on a great Pasty...as well as the Cheeseburger and the Ruben that Hubby & DD#1 got. (see, I did pay attention) Just writing this review makes me hungry for another Pasty...but I heard they have already had the first snow of the season up there and I'm not ready to slap on the snow chains just yet! If you are in Laurium, MI, give Toni's a try! Order a Pasty in honor of me! read more

Can't comment much on the eating here side (although it seems busy every time I go, so that's a good sign), as I usually just pop in and pick up a dozen pasties or so. The pasties alone are a good reason to pop in, as is their baked goods at the counter - oh those darn jelly tarts and my lack of self control around them. Their pasty is the closest to home made the Copper Country has to offer. Just fantastic. I'd add a bit more pepper myself, but I could eat them every day. read more

Don't let the out of the way location or setting fool you. Great pasty and service from Kaylin. Locals eat here too and that says a lot. The pasty had perfect blend of potatoes, rutabaga, and onion. The crust was tender but I could pick up the pasty to eat. Don't ask for gravy because you will be told that gravy covers up a bad pasty. read more

I think this place is closed, there is a for sale sign on the door and a sign that says do not enter

We live locally and love to go to Toni's for breakfast. It's always good and priced very reasonably. The cookies and rolls are wonderful! Pasties the best in town!! read more

Toni's Country Kitchen - a man and woman eating ice cream - Bakeries Near Me - Laurium, Michigan

I dropped in on a friday morning to a packed house. Had to wait for a table for me and my crew. we filled the whole place up again. The breakfast menu is small but excellent. My entree, the #6 eggs and bacon place was perfect. The eggs were excellent. This place deserves a 6 star rating because the girls who work here are hot and make the best pasties in the UP. read more

Toni's Country Kitchen - The lunch counter at tonis. - Bakeries Near Me - Laurium, Michigan

See all

My husband and I are from Wisconsin, and were driving around Michigan. Upper and Lower. My mother and her family were from there. My mother and siblings (6 of 9) were born in Gay. My grandma, Gertrude Nordstrom was born in Allouez on Oct. 30, 1890 to Frederick Nordstrom and Carrie Nordstrom. She married Charles Luke (Lueke). My grandma was an incredible cook and baker as they had 9 children. We were raised on her pasties. When we stopped at a gift shop in Copper Harbor I asked the owner where the best place that we could get pasties. She said Toni's and we turned around and headed back there. They are the best, and I found out the the owner's grandmother's recipe is what she has always used. And I found out that THAT RECIPE is what we have always used and my grandma originally got it from the owners grandmother. AWESOME! read more

Toni's is always a safe bet. Food is priced at unbeatable prices and the quality is superb. All of the employees are always nice, and the owner is as well! Best pasty around in my opinion. read more

My husband and I stopped at Toni's for lunch. We both ordered the soup of the day which was Bean and Ham. It was a generous portion and obviously home made. The soup was full of flavor and very satisfying. We ordered cudugi's but ordered one pasty after learning they only had meat enough for one cudigi. Later the owner/chef told us he makes his own blend and I can attest he has hit the mark. Served on a soft home made bun, without the usual pizza sauce and "works", we ordered it with fried onions, mushrooms and provolone cheese. The meat was flavorful out charred and enhanced by the fixings. This was by far, the best cudigi I have ever tasted, and I have eaten a lot of them! The pasty was good - potato was sliced not cubed. It maybe could have used a little more salt and pepper but by the number of take out ordered I witnessed while we were eating, obviously people like them! The decor was bland but the food made up for it! The prices were better than reasonable and we couldn't leave without a couple loaves of Povateca and a dozen cookies (the bake goods also, were. flying off the shelves) So, if you are not looking for fancy but want a great food experience, this is the place! read more

One of the best brunch i ever had.. need to try cinnamon french toast. Please make sure u have cash with u. No credit/debit cards accepted.

Love the pasties, they are my favorite anywhere ever! I also love the people who work here and the other pastries. I will never forget all the pasties I have eaten from here and I will always be craving a Toni's pasty. Just get one if you can. read more

We were vacationing up north and felt lucky to find this place. We arrived after closing time, but the owner was nice enough to sell us pasties to go. He even placed them back in the oven to heat them up for us. While we waited, we noticed the wonderful baked goods. We ended up buying a loaf of cinnamon bread (which he uses for his French toast, so I highly recommend ordering that) and another loaf of what I'll call super cinnamon walnut bread--it was a yeast dough rolled out very thin and coated with a sugar cinnamon walnut paste, then rolled back up and cut into small loaves. Each slice has a tight spiral with at least a dozen layers. It was an Eastern European traditional pastry, and very very yummy. The pasties were a nice meal to eat in the park, and the leftovers kept well in the fridge and made a good snack on the long drive home. The cinnamon bread made such excellent French toast back at the cabin we returned a couple of days later for another loaf. read more

Drove up to the UP last month and I was so excited to bring 50 pasties home with me. The smell and taste are exactly as I remember (and dream of). I was so excited to spend a long weekend in the UP and make my family happy with Toni's pasties!! The best!! read more

Pasty is like Mom used to make. Cudighi is delicious. Service is bit slow but the wait staff is friendly. Baked goods are delightful Easy to find from US 41 read more

We almost gave up on pasties at the first place we tried them, but the pasties at Toni's turned everything around. Flavorful and generous portions of beef layered between tender sliced potatoes. Perfectly creamy with crust that didn't fall apart. All pieces worked together in harmony. read more

Definitely will not be back here. The food was ok but the service was awful. The waitress was socializing with a co-worker and we waited the entire time we ate to get refills. The wheat bread is actually rye and the food is bland. On a side note, they do not take credit card so if you still choose to go, be prepared. read more

Out of the way, but worth the drive. Inlets and eggs are excellent and sizable. The bacon has a smoked delicious flavor and there's plenty of it. Bakery goods are exceptional and made that day. Cinnamon toast is flavorful, melts in you're mouth, not too sweet, but yummy! Service is good, girls are pleasant, young and helpful. Small town restaurant, hometown taste, but definitely to be rated far above any fast food chain or greasy spoon roadside shop. We didn't have a pastie, but they looked and smelled fantastic! Thumbs up on all accounts by me! read more

Nice little place. Not a big menu but the prices are good for someone who doesn't have a ton of money to spend on eating out. Get a good amount of food for what you pay. Love the cookies and bread from here. read more

Had a great pasty Thursday afternoon. Went for breakfast Friday, crowded, got the last table. Good breakfast!

Whenever I am in the Copper Country, I always visit Toni's at least twice! Their pasties are among the best I have ever had. They have great breakfasts, too. I love the atmosphere. It is very hard to walk out the door without stopping at their bakery counter! Tasty goodies, I love the tarts! My family has been stopping at Toni's for as long as I can remember, you can almost say they are a family tradition. I always order pasties to take home. read more

we came upon this restaurant by accident, while traveling. We had the best breakfast from here, the cinnamon french toast was awesome. Service was great also. thanks for the best breakfast read more

Was there a lot in the past however the place is to small and the service is slow. Some of the towns older people save tables for friends. So you have to wait. I ordered the special and they were out. So I ordered a Pasty. It had to be the worst I have ever eaten. . I am a Finn who have eaten a lot into time but this was bad. Can not compare to Connies or Mohawk Superite. read more

The place came highly recommended by a local person so our group of 8 stopped in and each ordered a pastie. We were not disappointed. Excellent. We then bought baked goods to take home and they were all excellent. Stop at Toni's if you're nearby. read more

Toni's is THE best pasty place in the UP. Someone needs to tell the other reviewer that they are not made with corned beef... Brandy, you should learn to try the house specialty if you are going to dine local. You missed out! Their Saffron Breads and Rolls are awesome too. read more

Toni's is famous for pasties, but their breakfast and bakery goods are fine, too. Toni's pasties are cheap, and probably filled with too much potato and not enough meat and rutabaga. But, they're good. The place is small and plain, and gets crowded on Saturdays. The staff is friendly. read more
