    Food: I got a chance to try some of the pastries. I tried the Mango: sweet and white chocolate glazed shell over a mango mouse cake. This was delicious and perfect for me as it was not too sweet. I also tried the tangerine and polar bear mousse which was also very good. Service Service was great and quick. Ambiance There is plenty of places to sit with calming music playing in the background.

    I've only had the Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte here & it was delicious. When I visit again I will most likely try their pastries. Cute spot

    Wonderful

    My favorite spot, very tasty and delicious, perfect with some decoration, satisfy, recommend

    My wife stopped over quickly to get some birthday treats for a friend and brought home a few things to try as well, including tiramisu for me to try out. Great flavor, with good balance of sweet, creamy, and the coffee taste. Texture was pretty good too. I also tried a few bites of her GF chocolate cake, which was really good as well. Hope to stop by again in the future to try out other stuff!

    I learned something today. I was just in the area looking for a good cup of coffee and a place to sit and be for a while. This looked as good as any. While I was here I saw Hokkaido cheesecake. And I learned that the Japanese have their own cheesecake style. I'll say this about it. If you like rich, creamy, and sweet, this might not be for you. This is a little lighter. Not as dense. You could probably eat two slices of this and want more. But that's not a bad thing at all. It's a good change of pace when you don't want something heavy. Hazelnut cappuccino hit the spot too. This place is worthy of your time.

    Mango Mousse Cake

    I never had a mango mousse cake, probably never saw one in US, France, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong .. Came here because I was nearby today. Saw this and just had to try it because I love mangos. This is the lightest cake I've ever had, and so full of mango flavors. How is this possible? The outer layer is thin, crunchy, and delicious. Inside is the lightest mousse cake with the perfect mixture of mango filling. Every bite is perfect. It is not too sweet and is even better than eating a mango. Can this be possible? You have to try it yourself. And it's not expensive ($9.50) when you see how much work has been out into making this.

    This is my first time ordering a cake from them. My daughter just graduated from college so I wanted to get a special cake for her. The ordering was done online, and payment was via Venmo. Correspondence was via texts, and the process was quite simple. If you look at their website there is a link where you can order custom made cakes, etc. I was impressed and glad they had many variety of cakes to choose from. One mistake I made was not specifying this was a graduation cake. I simply asked to them put "Congratulations". When my husband picked up the cake it came with a Happy Birthday topper Anyway, they cake came packaged beautifully. I chose strawberries with fresh cream, and it was reminiscent of the French style Japanese strawberry cake I grew up eating in Japan. I will definitely order more cakes from here!

    Beautiful pastries

    Some things you discover through a bit of serendipity. Easter Sunday the FDC and I went to visit the Matriarch's final resting place. We like to go early before the cemetery gets crowded as it's a special day. After, we decided to stop for bagels. Ended up at a bagel place in Narberth on Montgomery Ave. impulsively I decide to also get a croissant as they looked good. It wasn't good, and FDC says hey, let's check out A La Mousse. Sure. It's a block away. Why not? I am so glad we did. It's possibly the most immaculate bakery I've ever been in, for starters. Then, the pastries, well, look at the pictures. That's not an apple, it's pastry. Stunning. I get a chocolate croissant and a Hawaiian Lemonade Tea. FDC gets an almond croissant and pastries to go. So, a break here. FDC majored in French at university and studied at the Sorbonne in Paris for a year. This woman knows pastries. She told me to write: "This. This is magnificent French-Asian pastry, combining French ingredients with a clean, delicate, delectable flavor. Not overly sweet, nor bland. This is magnificent." I have to agree, there was a lovely balance, I didn't ever feel like I was eating a sugar bowl with those pastries (the Apple Pastry we took home was amazing). My croissant was light and well laminated with just a touch of chocolate. It was delicious. Oh and that Hawaiian lemonade tea? I crave it now. Staff were friendly, polite, fun and efficient. These are not cheap pastries, and they are worth every dime. We've already been back.

    Birthday cake with "no strawberries"
    Doris T.

    Why come out of hibernation to post a review, you ask? Well.. this store has gotten three strikes from my family, so I want to share my experience with you to save you from disappointment. Strike 1: Our first birthday cake order from here. We picked a simple chocolate cake for hubby's birthday. He is not a fan of strawberries, so we requested the chef to make it pretty without them. For the price, the cake looked pretty lame. The chef put some chards of chocolate and a splash of some gold. But the worst part was the calligraphy of Happy Birthday. There was no elegance in that. Nevertheless, cake tasted good though, so we decided to give them another shot. Strike 2: For my 5 yo's birthday, she picked a beautiful "fairy" cake. We went to pick up the cake at 4 pm as decided only to find out that they forgot to make it. Apparently, several other people had ordered the same cake for that day, and they just missed ours. Thankfully, they agreed to delivered the cake by 6 to our house. The kids patiently waited and finally the cake arrived for the party, albeit late Strike 3: This time it is my birthday, and the family still wanted to get a chocolate mousse cake from this place despite my protests. We all picked a chocolate cream cake but requested repeatedly not to include strawberries, neither on the top nor in the middle, as per hubby's insistence. The staff made a clear note of "no strawberries" on the order slip. We went to pick up on my birthday and the person showed us the cake through a tiny window on the box under the handle. We were shocked to see the strawberries on the top, not to mention that the cake looked very different from the design we chose. No matter, we decided we could pick the berries out before we eat. There was no apology at this point. Fast forward to the evening, we cut the cake and lo!, the middle layer is lined with huge chunks of strawberries. Hubby was very upset. So we called the store to complain about this. The attendant kept us on hold for 10 minutes as he talked to the manager. When he returned to the call he asked if we were allergic to the strawberries.. the answer was no.. Phew! At least it wasn't a health hazard. But I told him that my husband really does not like strawberries and we were upset. At this point, the attendant says we have two options, 1/ a $15 gift card to the store that he will send to my phone or 2/ take the cake back and pick up another chocolate cream cake that they have ready in the store. It was very late, and we were frustrated and tired, so we agreed to take the gift card. Needless to say that I have yet to receive that text. Don't get me wrong, the cakes taste good, but for the price, their service sucks! The cashiers seem disinterested in being there and even less enthusiastic about resolving issues. Please don't rely on them to make your day special because they can't get the one job they have right most of the time.

    For my mom's birthday, I got her a little heart cake. Everything though these desserts are a little pricey, it's so worth it. My mom loved it and really got to savor the delicious taste that just melts in your mouth. The dessert is light and airy-feeling, so it doesn't feel unhealthy at all. This was a great little surprise that I got my mom, and I would totally do it again.

    The pastries are fresh and delicious. However, they are very expensive. Our favorites are the pecan cookies.

    So mad at myself I drive past this place almost every day and didn't realize what store it was…read more I've been to another location, but this one is closer. The only thing is the parking is horrible. It's a limited space that fits about 20 cars to multiple businesses however I was able to get one when I stopped, but the car kept coming. I grabbed a twisted doughnut and a caramel macchiato. I was really just being nosy today to see what options were available, and if they had the same ones as the other location, most items are the same and actually some new things the picture speak for themselves. as always, the service is great and the ambience speaks for itself, dig in people thank me later.

    Didn't even know what Tous Les Jours was before heading there to get some yummy pastries. This is…read morethe kind of place in line with Paris Baguette and other pick your own pastries kind of set up like an eat-in bakery, although I liked this place much better than any of the experience that I have had at any of their competitors, or any other place that is similar. The space is open and stark white with multiple different windowed cabinets that hold many different pastries, both savory and sweet, with cakes up front at the counter, and they also serve coffee and espresso drinks on top of it all. We picked up an assortment of different pastries with the highlights being a curry croquette and a mushroom, onion, and Gruyère danish or something of the sort. We also grabbed a strawberry cream tart for our older daughter which looked very sweet and not at all up my alley whatsoever, but did still look good. The selection of pastries is self-serve and you grab a tray to choose what you would like, selecting your desired treats with golden tongs. Then bring your things to the counter to pay. Both women working were very nice, one much more knowledgeable than the other, but were able to answer all of our questions and provide explanations for everything we didn't understand. If we are in Havertown and seeking a delicious pastry on a quick trip, we will definitely be back. You can stop in and grab what you want and head back out really quickly and have a delicious treat to keep you happy all morning, or afternoon. Definitely check them out, it will keep a smile on your face and your belly happy!

    There's a hidden gem in Elkins Park - a small bakery near the SEPTA station. I've been there…read moreseveral times and it's been a wonderful experience each time. We went there this morning to pick up a raisin challah - we were making French Toast! The challah is excellent - rich, soft and sweet, it has a tender, delicious taste. The raisins added an extra touch of sweetness to the French Toast. Then there are the numerous pastries and cookies. We decided to get a few Hamentashen (chocolate and poppy), a raspberry croissant, a chocolate and a raspberry rugelach, and the most amazing looking Sticky Bun. I'll start with the Sticky Bun. It was exceptional; a soft, fluffy, and slightly chewy dough - challah like, but denser. It was laced with a sticky, caramelized glaze, studded with raisins and walnuts. It was 'melt in your mouth delicious', and a must try. Next up - the raspberry croissant. This is not your typical croissant - I'm used to the plain, or chocolate - I can't recall having a raspberry croissant before. It's one of the best I've had. It combines a flaky buttery croissant with a sweet, tart raspberry filling. The Hamentashen were good - the chocolate was better than the poppyseed - as the later needed much more Mohn (poppyseed paste). The rugelach was good; the raspberry was too sticky, but the chocolate was fine. If you're near Elkins Park, and you haven't tried Rolings Bakery, it's time you did!
