The interior looks and feels like a true working bakery. Delightful aromas, flour dusted surfaces and aprons, and piles upon piles of top level baked goods. Staff is legitimately excited to be producing such good products. I've always been seduced by the cupcakes. Most recent purchase was a last minute pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving per my host's request (I find it difficult to get terribly excited about pumpkin pie), and it was easily the best pumpkin pie I've had. Very reasonably priced for the quality, no question. Pop in, grab a dang cupcake to start, and you know, see what happens...

We made a reservation on their website and upon arrival, I was glad we did. There's limited seating indoors, about 10 tables mostly for parties of 2. There's also patio seating with a few space heaters. There was 1 server handling all the tables indoors and she was fantastic. We tried a couple lattes, croissant sammies, and the cinnamon roll. The chicken salad sammie was my favorite. The croissant was fluffy and buttery and the chicken salad was refreshing. The cinnamon roll was great too, though a tad too sweet for me, and is made with croissant dough.

The cupcakes were a 2.75. They look good- but they were dry (especially the almond raspberry) The vanilla cake was maybe the better of the four cupcakes - softer but tasty eggy / chewy. Not really soft and moist. The chocolates were both dry, dense, and not soft. The raspberry jam tasted chemically. The best part of the four cupcakes was the chocolate ganache on the double chocolate. The inside was extremely cute and cozy looking. The service was nice and friendly.

Laura was great to work with designing a custom cake that was perfect for our wedding. She was flexible in having a cake with multiple flavors and making adjustments (like the request for fresh fruit in between each layer). The cake was beautiful, but what was even more amazing was that the cake tasted just as good as it looked. Guest after guest came up to us during the wedding and after the wedding to tell us it was the BEST CAKE THEY HAD EVER EATEN IN THEIR LIVES. Not just the best wedding cake, but the best cake EVER. When you factor it taste, beauty, and price I don't think there is ANY better baker in the city of Richmond. I give The Buttercream Bee my highest recommendation. You will NOT be disappointed, give Laura a call for the cake of your dreams!

I love supporting small businesses. This will definitely be a go to for quality cupcakes.

The owner is really responsive, very creative, and has made themed cakes for us from anything for 10 people to 50, each of them turning out beautifully, and tasting amazing. We have not had a single birthday party where several people have asked where the cake/cupcakes came from..... and we order bigger cakes now so everyone can take a little home. They are THAT good. They keep ready-made cakes for last minute needs as well, in all sizes. And some lovely cupcakes in different flavors - strawberry, honeydew, vanilla, lemon, red velvet - you name it. The texture is different, so if you are looking for traditional airy box-style cake mix flavor, then go elsewhere. These cakes are a little heavier in texture, but less sweet, and definitely worth the price! Eunice is a wonderful baker. And a piano teacher!

The ambiance was quiet and the store was decorated nice. We ordered the lemon, banana pudding, and Dubai chocolate mini bundtlets. The lemon was nice and moist with a distinct lemon flavor that was not artificial tasting. The Dubai chocolate was moist as well either a decadent chocolate taste and pistachio filling that was light and not artificial tasting as well. The banana had a great flavor as well. You could order the mini bundtlets, large Bundt cake, or small cupcake- like portions as well. There were also beverages (hot and cold) available. All in all, a nice place to grab a sweet treat when in the area.

This location is INSIDE Lotte market, which we didn't realize when we were driving up so there was a confused minute or two in parking lot where we thought we may be in wrong place or it may have closed down. Go inside Lotte market (also worth a browse, and some yummy asian food restaurants in a mini food court I plan to check out in future) and you will find Tous les Jours to the left ! We were greeted by beautiful display cases and a nice clean, bustling cafe space. It was a family outing so everyone chose a pastry and then all offered each other bites. What we got: matcha cookie brownie, twist donut, fruit topped montblanc, hazelnut chocolate dipped croissant, and a custard tart. Plus we got a lemonade for kids to share, I got an Americano and my husband got an espresso shot, and six macarons to go for later. Everything was delicious: tasted fresh, authentic, well made. Honestly can't wait for my next visit.
