It was mad packed too and it was hard to find a park but we got lucky as we saw some patrons leave. It's street parking but you gotta read the signs! We walked in and it's such a cool, eclectic coffee house! Loved the vibes! It's large too and it was a lot of students there either solo or group learning happening. As a former teacher, I loved that! The coffee we wanted was out, dirty horchata but we completely understood, it's mid day and Saturday so the yummy stuff goes! We got a mocha and I forgot what hubby got but both were delicious! We sat in and enjoyed our coffee which was nice. The service was fantastic, everyone was kind and engaging which was very nice. Highly recommend and support local coffee shops!

Though usually one for a hot coffee, it was steamy hot out so I went for an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and was wildly impressed. I was going to sit for a bit so had the latte for there and it was icy cold and the vanilla flavoring was brilliantly paired to the really good espresso notes within the latte. I also went for a Financier, which is a gluten-free banana bread sort of loaf and this was downright silly how good it was. It had a rich banana and sort of caramel flavor to it and as a gluten-free pastry option was one of the finest that I have had. Love that the coffee shop had just about every seat full with people doing work, studying, reading and catching up and the spot was a true neighborhood gem sort of location. Awesome spot!

The Pistachio Mocha (8.5/10) had a great mocha flavor and the espresso strength was perfect. Not too strong or too light. Loved this one. The Lavender Sea Salt Latte (8/10) had a nice lavender flavor, and I liked that I could actually taste the espresso without it being overpowering. The Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich (7/10) is only available Saturday and Sunday. The egg was soft, the bacon was crispy, and the brioche bun was nice and soft. The mayo-based sauce was flavorful, but there was almost a little too much for me. I liked how the sandwich wasn't dry though.

The food smelled and looked delicious, but I was there for the desserts. I brought home several for my family to try with me and every single one was even more delicious than it looked!

I recommend to everyone.

I have been to this place three times. The coffee is amazing. I would definitely visit them even…read moremore frequently, but it is a bit of sensory nightmare inside. The coffee prep area is in the middle of an overall small room, and it stays pretty loud as they're continuously prepping drinks. There is some seating inside, but it's a bit limited. I got coffee flights the last two times I was there, and I was lucky to get a seat. On my last visit, I was there around 8:30 on a Sunday on a rainy, late summer day. I had wanted to order a flight, but every seat was taken, so I had resigned myself to ordering a single coffee. Luckily, a couple people left, so I was able to secure us a table. I would have been very disappointed if I hadn't been able to order the flight I came there to get! They have amazing flavors, I LOVE that they do flights, and their food has been decent. I only wish it was a little more spacious and quieter.

Downside to sitting in is the music is loud so if you need a quiet space this probably isn't it. The service is good. Very swift and to the point. I ordered an iced coffee that I wouldn't get again but not a harsh judge on that. Don't think drinks are their strong-suit. Naturally, best part is the sandwiches. I had a corned beef breakfast sandwich on croissant and it was fantastic. Will definitely be back!

We used to visit this Tous Les Jours in Chinatown every Sunday before the pandemic.  Now, we visit…read morewhenever we are in the area, although our visits are not as frequent.  The French-Korean bakery chain offers a wonderful variety of pastries, breads, and cakes.  I have tried many of them over the years and are happy with their quality and taste, although they are on the pricey side. Our most recent visit was on a Friday with a friend.  It was comfortably busy, unlike weekends when they are packed. I was happy to see that they have also added more seating, making it more inviting for customers who want to sit down and enjoy their pastries and drinks. My daughter was looking forward to her favorite Chocolate Chip Croissant, while I was hoping to get their Matcha Bread with Matcha Cream Filling. Unfortunately, neither was available, so we assumed they had simply sold out. This location is usually well-stocked, so that was a surprise.  Later, I found out on their online menu that they don't offer these items anymore, which was a disappointment.  Next time we will find something else to try, as there are so many items to choose from. I was glad that our friend found something that she liked, and happily showed her tray to me with some milky bread and pastries.  I have to mention about their wonderful cakes.  I have tried their Blueberry Yogurt Cake and recently the Mango Cloud Cake at my sister's birthday party, and liked them both.  The mango cream and cloud cream of the Mango Cloud Cake are light and not too sweet; the cake is moist and fluffy.  Their cakes make a perfect sweet ending to a big meal.  We were on cloud 9!

The display cases are filled with beautiful pastries, the smell of fresh coffee fills the air, and everything just feels warm and inviting. It's a nice little change of pace from everything happening outside. The staff was super friendly too and greeted us with a smile as soon as we walked in. I ordered the Caramel Almond Pastry, and wow... it was perfection from the very first bite. The pastry was incredibly flaky, with thin buttery layers that shattered just enough with every bite before melting in your mouth. The caramel filling was smooth, rich, and had that deep buttery sweetness. Then the sliced almonds added the perfect crunch along with a light roasted, nutty flavor that balanced the sweetness beautifully. The caramel and almonds together tasted like they were made for each other. I'll definitely be back to try more pastries because if this one was any indication, they know exactly what they're doing.
