The shop offers freshly baked artisan pastries, cakes and beverages. The business prides itself on baking its pastries fresh every day, according to store manager Yuri Woo.

“We’re baking fresh bread every morning,” she says. “That’s the most important thing for our bakery.”

Popular items include salt and butter rolls, garlic cream cheese bread ($7.65), sesame and sweet rice donuts ($3.20 each) and egg custard pastries ($4.70).

Woo notes that most pastries are French-inspired, but some are influenced by Korean flavors.

“The salt and butter (rolls), red bean donuts and custard buns are Korean-inspired,” she says. “The garlic cream cheese bread is popular. It’s bread with garlic cream inside; it’s cheesy and savory.”

The bakery is especially known for its Cloud cakes, which are available by the slice or as whole cakes.

“The Cloud cakes are the most popular — we have fresh Cloud cream, strawberry, green tea mango and blueberry,” Woo says.

Customers can also opt for a variety of other cakes — ranging from flavors like strawberry tiramisu and classic mocha to tiramisu and seasonal options — macarons and cheesecakes.

TOUS les JOURS also offers a variety of coffees and teas. Popular options include tiramisu lattes ($5.85-$6.85), ube lattes ($5.25-$6.25) and honey lavender macchiatos ($5.85-$6.85).

“We have good coffee selections, but the most popular one — our signature one — is the tiramisu latte,” Woo says. “It’s basically the vanilla latte with cream cheese foam and cocoa powder on top. The cream cheese foam is made with a special recipe.”

Customers can also enjoy limited-time holiday offerings like candy cane hot cocoa ($5.75-$6.25), gingerbread matcha latte ($5.75-$6.75) and gingerbread lattes ($5.75-$6.75).

TOUS les JOURS is celebrating its grand opening with a variety of giveaways from Dec. 28 to 30. The first 100 guests who spend $30 or more will get a free TOUS les JOURS umbrella (Dec. 28); a free TOUS les JOURS mug (Dec. 29); and a free TOUS les JOURS insulated tote (Dec. 30).
