THEY FORGOT TO BAKE MY WEDDING CAKE. And 4 weeks later, still have not provided me a full refund,…read moreeven after promising to do so. Countless email exchanges and multiple texts have been made between myself and the owner, Dennis Stanley, and still I find myself not financially whole. The least they can do is return what I paid. As I will never be truly whole.. for the wedding cake was what I was looking forward to the most, and the realization it would not be coming left me in tears. To do this to a bride and then have her continuously email for restitution and provide TERRIBLE communication is a truly awful thing to do. ***DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS*** And in general, their communication is terrible. They don't answer the phone and you have to email 2 or 3 times before they respond. Weddings are already expensive and stressful -- do yourself a favor and don't add to it by using Chantel's Bakery. EDIT AFTER OWNER COMMENT: Chantel's Bakery never reached out to me after the credit card did not go through. Actually, the opposite. I emailed Chantel's two days after the in-person meeting informing them that my credit card had not been charged and asked when it would be. I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. It was not until the morning of my wedding did I receive a PayPal invoice, in which was paid within 3 hours of receipt. Maybe a planner would have been helpful in completing additional follow-ups with the business WHICH IS CLEARLY REQUIRED, so that I didn't have to be the one to realize the cake was missing. However, a business should establish some sort of organization that would allow them not to forget an order IN THE FIRST PLACE. The sad fact is that Dennis told me that the error should have never happened it was entirely their fault and he would provide a FULL REFUND which he has failed to do. They may not have time to complete your order or follow through on promises made, but they sure do have time to falsely respond to negative reviews. Again, I repeat DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS.

DO NOT USE FOR WEDDING SERVICES* I am completely disgusted with the customer service that we have…read morereceived during this full process. During the wedding tasting we already made our selections on the cakes we wanted. My wedding is in less than a month and it took 500...25 thousand 600 minutes and basically the FBI to get someone to reach back out to provide a quote. The venue staff also had reached out to the company multiple times several days in a row. The cake tasting was on July 25th and to this day there was no invoice provided. My family and I will no longer be supporting the business nor will we EVER recommend his service as we feel completely disrespected by the phone call we just had as well. We called the company and spoke with the owner as the calls forward to his direct line when the business is closed. When we spoke he had an attitude and basically said the shop was closed a thousand times and acted like he didn't want to speak to us. A professional resolution to that issue would be to empathize with your client and then urge the your assistant, or whoever the other lady is.... To contact the client. Instead we got...."the shop is closed maam, call back tomorrow" 16 times. Why would I call back tomorrow when i basically had to sacrifice my first born to get you to answer the phone this one time. No sir. That was funny. Absolute poor customer service and a waste of our time. If I could leave a 5 negative stars I would. Xoxo Diary of an angry bride.

It's even smaller, and in a tiny random, not where you would expect to find bakery! It has a tiny display of fresh pastries, shelf full of fresh baked breads and freezer full of more breads! Service is great, always with a smile. We tried a little bit of everything and ended up going back a couple of days later for some fresh bread. Finding good, like good gf bread is really hard. Most times literally hard. Got the brioche buns and was impressed for gf buns! Yes they still fell apart. Yes they weren't as soft as traditional brioche, but they were good for gf buns. I love their ham and cheese croissant. It's greasy, I prefer it cold, my kid only likes it warmed up. Donut is by far the best gf cake style donut we've ever had. It's light, flavor is incredible, moist. I typically skip gf cake donuts, but this one was calling to me, so happy we got it. Cinnamon roll was not good. Frosting had zero sugar. It was hard as a rock, so no one wanted to eat it. But as most gf cinnamon rolls, you have to eat them within a few hours, so this one could have just been too old. There's a decent amount of gluten free bakeries scattered across the DMV area, but this is by far the best for bread! The best variety, fresh and frozen. If they sell out of something you can count on they'll have a back up of something similar. Also. surprised to see complaining about prices..... I actually think they aee cheap for gluten free items!

We also ordered a flat white and saw that they use Lone Oak beans which we love! I'm so happy that we have a great option for great pastry. Aside from the chains or Dolce and Ciabatta there's quite a pastry drought in this part of NOVA. So thank you to Blue Chicken Bakery for opening up--I will definitely be back!

The setup is similar to Paris Baguette. There are trays to place your items and paper liners to put on the trays. I walked around the self-serve area trying to decide what to get. My husband noticed a doughnut with some filling and said he wanted it. The signs that are next to the items aren't very easy to see, so we never did figure out what the filling in his doughnut was. I chose a pre-wrapped doughnut that was filled with vanilla cream. We decided to take our pastries home, and the cashier gladly bagged them. As for the doughnuts, my husband said he liked the mystery filling in his but couldn't figure out exactly what it was. The vanilla cream filling in mine had a nice vanilla flavor and was light and creamy. As other Yelpers mentioned, there is seating available for those who wish to eat their goodies there. The seating area felt somewhat cramped. We have no regrets giving Tous Les Jours a try. Yet, at the same time, we're in no rush to return.
