"Tous Les Jours, a South Korean bakery from the same company that owns fried chicken wing chain Bonchon, has opened in Troy. Visitors will find everything from light croissants to pain du chocolat, similar to other goods found in a French bakery. However, most items are infused with Asian flavors — namely Korean and Japanese. The result is an array of pastries, both sweet and savory, that appeal to both Eastern and Western palates. Think bread loaves drizzled with condensed milk, buns stuffed with red bean-flavored fillings, egg tarts and egg salad, and dough baked around hot dogs. Tous Les Jours, which started in South Korea in 1988, arrived stateside in 2004 and has since expanded to more than 1,650 stores worldwide, including its Troy location at 1699 Crooks Rd. The brand offers 300 different kinds of bakery goods, including sandwiches, smoothies, baked pastries, loaves, macarons, gourmet-style cakes, and beverages." - Monica Williams
