"Remember all the times I mercilessly teased you about Diana and how she couldn't possibly be all that you were describing?" she confides to Steve. "Vividly." "Yeah, you undersold." "Told you." Across the highway from the Ellicott City, Maryland location of Tous Les Jour, Shilla Bakery might very well also be described as "undersold," but its mocha roll cakes (and other flavors too) and fried twist donuts are both memorable and great for sharing, if you can resist the temptation to hoard them for yourselves.

I went specifically for one of their cream cakes. The bakery also carries a wide selection both sweet vs savory items not seen in typical local bakeries. The displays are well laid out. You grab a basket and select items that are neatly wrapped. Cream filled pastries are smooth in texture and I did not find them overly sweet. There were flavors such as strawberry, mocha, Nutella or white cream to name a few. My favorite is their red bean filled doughnut. I wished I lived closer but maybe it's a good idea I didn't. The birthday cake I went for was a Chocolate Cream...the cake had 3 layers of a light chiffon with buttercream frosting and did not taste overly sweet. They were able to place a Happy Birthday greeting on the spot and packed it in a beautiful box to easily carry home.

We thought it would be a circle cake like in the electronic ordering pictures but it's actually a square. Service was amazing, the staff was very patient.

In Dec, we asked for a custom decoration for a 2-year-old's birthday, which they happily decorated with sprinkles and colorful icing :-) The birthday-child couldn't resist a swipe at the icing :-) We a picture of a cup of tea in their window.

Perfect for our drive to the party! We're see they also have a broader food menu including samosas, chaat, parottas, and more, and handhelds, including wraps, sandwiches, and even burgers! Chicken burgers, mutton burgers, Impossible and other veggie burgers! I hope to try those soon!

People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.

I really enjoyed the cappuccino, and I like that they offer agave as a sweetener. That said, I do wish the cappuccino had a bolder coffee flavor. On its own, it leaned a bit too milky for my taste. However, once I added an extra shot, it made a big difference, I got the richer coffee flavor I was looking for along with an extra boost. The temperature was good, but I did notice that even when I requested it extra hot, it came out the same each time, which was a bit puzzling. Overall, I'd give it 4 stars. It's a nice spot, and I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.
