If you're looking for a charming French bakery in the East Bay, Maison Benoit is definitely worth…read morethe visit. Everything looked incredible in the pastry case and you can tell the pastries are made with care #1 in SF area for their croissants, which are buttery, flaky, and perfectly baked. You can watch the bakers through the window outside. What we tried: Honey Bear Latte ($6.25) - lightly sweet and comforting Almond Croissant ($7) - flaky with a generous almond filling Egg & Turkey Breakfast Bun ($6) - simple, savory, and satisfying Chouquette ($2) - light, airy, and the perfect little bite Kouign-Amann ($6.75) - crispy, caramelized, and buttery goodness Quiche Lorraine ($11.50) - rich and flavorful Chakchouka Croissant ($8) - a fun savory twist with bold flavors The space feels cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for brunch or a coffee break. Seating is first come, first serve, so it can fill up quickly on weekends. Staff members were so accommodating helping me with the adjustment of the sweetness of my latte. Tina's Tip: Ask for your pastries warmed up and order them "for here" - it makes a huge difference! Follow me @tinathaotravels for more Bay Area eats, lifestyle, travel, and adventures.

We are going with Old Towne Danville Bakery as our baker for our wedding cake later this year. As…read moresoon as I walked in, it smelled SO good that I practically wanted to order one of everything they had. Karen, the owner, took the time to walk me through the sampler box of the different wedding cake flavors, even though it started to get busy in the store she was very kind to make it a personal experience. There were 12 different flavors in the sampler ranging from standard red velvet or vanilla cake, to some fancier ones such as poppy seed cake with lemon curd. Our favorite was the vanilla cake with apricot preserve and we will almost certainly be having that as one of our layers. I am very excited to continue working with them as we design our cake and next time I go in I will definitely be grabbing one of th delicious looking cannoli!

I was super overwhelmed handling other wedding details, and every conversation with them made me feel so comfortable. I talked to Karen a week beforehand to confirm all cake details, and she was SO warm and had the best "We got this! Don't even worry" attitude - I can't even describe how relieved she made me feel. They were able to make our whole cake gluten-free due to my own allergy. I have had celiac for almost 20 years, and still can't even bake anything remotely edible after countless attempts. The fact that they made this cake gluten free and we all RAVED about it is 1) a miracle in itself and 2) makes me actively very jealous that I can't try their normal baked goods! I didn't even really eat dinner at my own wedding, but you bet I had two pieces of cake. We are super grateful, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding cake!

We got the buttercream bread, sweet rice donut, chocolate cloud cake, milk cornet, and the strawberry milk bread. For drinks we got the red velvet hot cocoa and the caramel macchiato. The buttercream bread was my absolute favorite out of the bunch. The butter cream wasn't too sweet and the bread was sooo soft. The ratio of cream to bread was just right, so each bite of bread had a sweet balance of the fluffy cream. The sweet rice donut was okay. To be, it could have been more softer, but it was expected for it to go stale a little bit since it's been out lying for a while. Some things are just unavoidable. The chocolate cloud cake was really good, but there was so much cream. Unlike the buttercream bread, there was imbalance here, but I adored the giant strawberries sandwiched between the cream. The consistency of the actual cake was perfect though, because sometimes I know it can get really soggy from the cream. Next time I would give another cake a try instead. The milk cornet was great! Tried it out because it seemed really popular; there was only one left. This pastry like a croissant stuffed with milky cream. The cornet was perfectly crunchy and the milk cream wasn't too sweet. Next time, I want to give the blueberry version a try. The strawberry milk bread impressed me. It was super soft, and I like how there was a really small amount of cream. Like, I understood what the cream was trying to do there. One bite of just bread would be pretty dry, but a little bit of cream can help smooth things out but still keep the spotlight on the bread. The red velvet hot cocoa drink was what surprised me the most. I suppose this drink is Valentines day edition, so it's not always here. I was so surprised when I opened the lid and saw hot pink foam! Like, DANG! Tous les jours really went out of their way to give us a sip of Valentines day! This drink is on the sweeter end, though. A friend said that the caramel macchiato was just okay, nothing surprising or impressive about it. I guess it was a safe order. The baristas were really efficient with our drinks; both drinks took five minutes or less! I love the interior of this bakery. So cute yet so easygoing. Perfect ambiance for catching up with some girlfriends!

We noticed tables of candies and a whole wall of candy that you can choose from each candy was labeled with different countries where the candies came from which I thought was pretty cool. The people asked us if we need any help to let them know. We did notice that the prices were pretty high. So for 1 pound of candy in the bag it was $25. However, the girls did pick out a couple pieces of candy for each and we spent about $4.50. This place is definitely cute and provides a lot of different types of candies, but it is kind of pricey. I would definitely still come back when I have the extra funds.

I'll definitely keep this place in mind whenever I'm in the mood for sour candy. Service was pleasant with a smile!

Walked me through the menu with all smiles and serious enthusiasm. I had my eye on the Mushroom sandwich since I love wild mushrooms and thought it was unique, but it was already sold out (DAYUM I missed out!!). So I went for the classic Bacon, Egg & Cheese with a Hash brown Crisp because you can't beat that breakfast sando staple. My friend got the Smoked Tri-Tip one and yea... gorgeous. Also, can we talk about their English muffins? I asked if I could just buy a dozen to go because they look that good. The bacon, egg & cheese had microgreens, and pickled onions (that pickled onion hit with the acidity). The tri-tip had that slow-smoked flavor and a fried egg on top. Overall: great food, great energy, excellent service. Janneh making sure everything was right. I'll absolutely be back for another Muffin Lab sando (and yeah, maybe request a dozen muffins to go too )

Tori was so accommodating with my request and promptly delivered the goods in adorable packaging. These were also unlike any cupcakes we had ever had; they were so fluffy and soft, and filled with cream instead of iced outside. They were truly delightful and made a wonderful birthday present. I'll definitely be ordering from Tori again.

Recently, I finally splurged and ordered something for myself! A Mystery Box. In it, I received a lovely variety including 3 matcha cookies, and 1 each of berry, matcha sesame, and citrus madeleines. My favorite was definitely the cookies, I enjoy matcha in general and thought the combination of matcha with chocolate was a tasty and creative one! They were sweet but not too sweet and had a great chewy texture that held up well in their journey from SF to NYC. Overall, the customer service is prompt and the goodies are clearly made with care. I appreciate that shipping is available nationwide and that the delivery cost is incorporated into the menu price so it is easy to mentally calculate my total bill. Glancing at the menu, you can tell that After By Tori is pricier than your average bulk box of cookies at a grocery store, but you get the high quality that you pay for :-) They are open and receptive to feedback on their products and packaging as well. On social media, you are gifted with the additional treat of behind-the-scenes photos and videos as orders are being fulfilled and new recipes are being explored. I'm looking forward to seeing (and tasting) what After by Tori creates in the future
