I can't believe I haven't reviewed this bakery yet! I have been to Tous Les Jours...a few (or maybe several) times and there are plenty of delicious things to order. The hours are a little strange - you would think it would be open early since it's a bakery, but I appreciate that I can pop by later in the day and get delicious baked goods. And I appreciate the rotating and steady selection of different baked goods. There are lots of things to enjoy here.
If you want pastries or breads from the cases, you can grab a tray, tongs, and paper right by the door. They have a wide selection of sweet and savory breads and pastries, with some that seem to be standard and some on a rotation. They have loaves and packages of different styles of breads (including sweet breads), a case with hot items, pre-packaged items, and a dessert case with cakes and macarons. They have a lot of varieties, but I don't see that they offer gluten-free or gluten-friendly options. They also have a coffee, tea, and drink menu with options there as well.
The pre-packaged items are a bit of a miss with me, along with some of the sweet breads lacking a little flavor. However, they have a lot of tasty items too. Their croquettes are super tasty (the curry one is my favorite), with a bit of crunch on the exterior of soft, fluffy bread and sweet/savory filling. Their spinach pastry and tomato pastries are both excellent - flaky pastry with a good amount of filling. The cream breads are yummy - the taro one is my absolute favorite! I generally like the soft texture of all their good and they are well-baked. And the cloud cake and macarons...so, so tasty and not overly sweet. The cloud cake is so light and they have multiple tasty flavor options.
Service has generally been good here. When it's really busy the line moves a little slowly, but they carefully package up the items so they don't get squished. Most of it is self-serve and you bring it to the counter, and then cakes and macarons are packaged by the staff. Drinks are usually pretty fast after ordering, and they do have a decent amount of tables if you plan to be there. Most of the items are in the $4-6 range depending on size, so it's not super cheap but also won't break the bank. For the quality, most of the items are worth it. I also appreciate that they have a decent amount of pastries and fresh items available in the evening, so they are restocking later in the day.
It's really a great location with decent parking, although my waistline tells me it's probably a bit too easy to get to, haha. I'm glad to have this bakery nearby when I need a carb fix. Once you figure out what the really good items are, it gets harder and harder to stay away.
