Toni Rivard

I purchased 5 different flavors of cakeballs and they were all awful. They had very little flavor and tasted like playdough. I will never go back.

I’m not sure why I’ve never noticed this place. However, the décor is what initially attracted me and then as I got closer I noticed CAKE BALLS!
I have a love/​hate relationship with cake balls. They are either too dry or undercooked. So I’ve completely given up on this trendy little treat until today.
So I decided to take a chance and purchase four cake balls. I bought the Cherry, Strawberry Blonde, Coconut and Italian Crème. Each of them cost $ 1.85 and for a dozen it will be $ 21.00. I find this a little pricey considering the size. So I really don’t see myself purchasing these on a regular. It will be on a treat basis.
I tried out the cherry first and it was such a wonderful delight. The cake ball was actually moist and had a very good taste. The cherry flavoring wasn’t overpowering and I did the immediate «mmmm» when I bit into it.
I decided not to hoard all the other ones and shared them with family. So I didn’t get an opportunity to taste them. However, my family agreed these were some pretty tasty cake balls.
If you’re ever in NorthPark and just need to get your sweet fix. Check this place out.

These cake balls are so yummy. I was passing by on my way to Neiman’s and saw this cute little stand. They are $ 1.50 each and I got red velvet and dark chocolate. They were delicious! Moist and melt in your mouth good.

Tried their macarons — one of each flavor. The macarons are a decent size, (which is pretty rare these days, where everyone seems to be overcharging for tiny macarons). The texture was good: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and doesn’t crumble easily. Cons: 1) bit too sweet for me, not so bad I couldn’t eat it, but sweet to the extent it overpowers the flavor 2) the lady put them in a paper bag, which is a big no-​no for the delicate shells of the macarons. Overall, my impression was positive, apart from the sweetness. I liked the strawberry/​raspberry and the vanilla best.

I got one each of their 5 macaroon flavors. Liked the raspberry and pistachio best… the lemon had most prominent flavor and tasted good but wished it was a tad less sweet. They are crunchy on the outside and soft with the bite. were $ 2 each.

worst than mediocre. Dry. Old.
I am disappointed as I was told that this was the same owner as Crème De La Cookie.
I still love crème de la cookie but jesus, why so dry?
Toni! What happen?
I asked for a cake ball but man… Just dry! The macarons always get me but for this one? it’s always smooshed in a box to make customers buy the whole thing and what’s worst is that you charge a little higher. Man, I am so disappointed! :(
Please, take it back!

The staff is friendly, they have a wide selection of cake balls to choose from, the macarons must be a big hit because they were sold out by 4. My dark chocolate raspberry was good and moist. I’ll have to go back to try more!

Did not enjoy the macaroons, they had waaay to much filling! I was expecting a delicate treat and instead got a mega blob of icing between the 2 «wafers». My friend got the cake balls and said they tasted like playdoh…

Amazingness!!! Love love LOVE the cakeballs and cookies! The cinnamon rolls are a must! Flaky perfection :) the owner is super sweet!!!

Cake balls
Balls that are NOT on a stick.
You heard me.
Instead of making them into cake ball lollipops, they remove the stick and serve them like bon bons or chocolate truffles.
Sure they’re a $ 1.50 a pop, but man. There is something about the taste that I like.
Texture wise, it’s like biting into a semi cooked cake. Weird right, but eh. I dig it.
It’s a little chewy, but the outer shell lends the crunch you’re looking for. I’ve had home made cake balls and some from Starbucks and I think the flavors are better at Toni Rivard.
Personally, they have just the right amount of sweetness. I don’t eat desserts often either. Ask for a sample and decide for yourself…

*Based on the macaroons*
Saw this cute little stand while I was walking around Northpark with the boo thing and I just had to give it a try!
I honestly think they’re better than Mozart’s. They’re bigger and are $ 1.75 compared to the microscopic ones for $ 1.50. As for the taste, it was scrumptious! They also have various fountain drinks.
The cashier was very bubbly and informative, telling us the basic gist of Toni Rivard. They also have another location at Stonebriar.

I’ll be back

I ordered a dozen French macarons. They’re a little too sweet but not too bad. The pistachio, lemon, raspberry and caramel are pretty good. Didn’t try any of the nuch raved cake balls as the price of something so small is a bit dear. Think I will just stick with the macarons until I’m back in Paris.

Maybe I just didn’t get a good batch last time or maybe it was just me… i dunno know but okay, so I tried them again for my nephew’s birthday party. Back to the top they go! I loved the Lemon, the Chocolate and I heard the Red Velvet was off the chain. I am a bite-​again believer. They were so moist and packed such a good punch plus they were beautifully and so professionally done in the Angry Birds theme– such a hit!
I’ll be back!!!

No wonder Toni Rivard is located inside north park mall… both contain marked up items!
Near the entrance of Neiman Marcus you can spot the Toni Rivard booth that sells cake balls, cookies, whoopie pies, and macarons. I’ve tried their cakeballs and macarons multiple times… which i dunno why i do. Both are extremely too sweet and barely have any hint of the assorted flavors. Red velvet cake and strawberry taste exactly the same… too sweet.
Each cake ball is around $ 1.50. The macarons only sell by gift box so you won’t be able to sample them individually. I’ll stick with mozart or crème de la cookie for my sweet ish.

Bought the expensive $ 8 macaron set and had one bite. I didn’t eat them because the macarons were way too sweet! Toni overpowered the taste with the filling. Macarons are supposedly a delicate dessert nothing like eating a cupcake. I’ve had better or even made better ones than the ones I tried. The simple cake balls they sell are ridiculously expensive. Cake balls are not that hard to make, youtube how to make cake balls and you’ll regret even buying these. Then again if you’re just lazy and rich go ahead and get your sweets here. I’m not so I won’t be.

Was in the area shopping, and saw this little stand, gave it a shot. the lady here was soooo nice! She was so friendly and helpful, they need to give her a raise!
We had the cake balls and macarons.
All the cake balls were pretty good, however the macarons were not that great. Probably the best cake balls I ever had. Moist and not super sweet.

I’ve been wanting to try this place out since the macaron place in Uptown wasn’t so great. I had the vanilla and cookies ‘n cream cake balls. They were both delicious and not too sweet. Overly sweet desserts are not my thing. Each cake ball was packaged nicely in a plastic wrap, but they were on the small side. Then I purchased 5 pistachio macarons. That was the only flavor that they had there on Sunday. Wow! These macarons were way better than the itsy, bitsy macarons that I had ordered from a place in Uptown before. I won’t list the name of the place in Uptown, because bashing people’s businesses is a bad trait.
I would love to come back again. This place is definitely worth going to even through all the mall traffic.

I luuurve these cake balls. Best cake balls in Dallas. Period. I’ve stopped here 5 or 6 times when shopping at Northpark, and each purchase has been fabulous! The cake balls are always fresh, moist and perfectly delicious. My favorite flavors are lemon (random, but they are great), vanilla+white chocolate and cookies ‘n cream. I’m a huge dessert fan and I have a love affair with all things sugar, so it is pretty hard to impress my taste buds… But Toni Rivard, you hit the (cake) ball out of the park!

I really, really like these cake balls! I’ve tried quite a few flavors but my favorites are cookies and cream and red velvet. I’ve also had a coconut cream flavor, which was delicious, but they don’t always have it. Raspberry is a surprisingly good flavor, too. The texture of the cake balls is perfectly moist and the outer «shell» is nice and soft. They generally offer a good variety of flavors so you could almost try something new each time.
The reason I can’t give Toni Rivard 5 stars is because if you don’t head over there early enough, they run out of all of the good flavors. Don’t even bother near closing on a weeknight, they’ll be tapped out. The balls are also a bit pricey, but that is the case with most desserts bought from real bakeries.
Definitely worth a try if you are looking for something sweet at North Park. Tucked away next to the Neiman Marcus entrance.

I bar hop at North Park Mall with my friend Mark. This time after drinks at Maggiano’s and a fun time with strangers playing a game where we guessed driving distances, (Boise to Miami is 2834.6 for instance.) we set out for a facial, but not having eaten, decided to purchase what I thought were two chocolates at the little booth in front of Neimans.
They were only $ 2 a piece, and not chocolate but cake. I had German Chocolate and my friend had Red Velvet.
I also thought they might be healthier, but when I asked for calorie information the young woman expressed no interest if even a dark light cynicism.
«yeah they aren’t publishing that for a reason.». I realized. They were damn good, but probably loaded with butter.
Get a box of 12 for 20 and make someone super happy all day.
We jetted off for facials with our taste buds singing in delight,
Macaroons and other sweets also available.
