We used to visit this Tous Les Jours in Chinatown every Sunday before the pandemic.  Now, we visit whenever 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! read more

Tous Les Jours was such a nice surprise. It's in the middle of Chinatown, but the moment I walked inside, it felt like I've stepped into a cozy French-style bakery. 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. read more

Tous Les Jours is always worth a visit when we are in Chinatown. Make sure to get there early for the best selection because it's really busy and pastries go quickly! On our most recent visit, I grabbed a slice of mango cloud cake and one of blueberry cloud cake too. The cloud cakes are my favorite thing here. The cake is impossibly soft and fluffy but not too sweet, brightened by the fresh fruit. I also got two soft breads, banana and honeydew. Honeydew is one of my favorite flavors and it so rarely makes an appearance, so I was really happy with this. I also got a cream cheese cranberry bun. This is another favorite. It's really soft and not too sweet with a huge amount of a cheesecakey filling on the inside. Grab a tray when you walk in and a pair of tongs and add what you want to your tray, and hand it all over at the register. read more

We stopped and had a quick bite of dessert! I love Tous Les Jours and enjoyed the one in Vegas so I was happy to see one in Chinatown to stop at. The service was cool, efficient. The location is small and it was super packed! We enjoyed our treats, honey toast and strawberry cream croissant. We forgot to take pictures as we were so happy to have the treats lol read more

It was my first time at Tous les Jours, and I left with mixed feelings. I wouldn't say it was amazing or bad--better than some other bakeries I've tried, but not really worth the price, lol. read more

What an interesting stop in Chinatown! Was not expecting this French-Asian bakery to taste so good. They have classic fluffy bread with original flavors and some asian flavors as well. They have multiple types of pastries, the savory ones were so flakey and garlicy. The pan au chocolate was also buttery and had high quality tasting chocolate, bet it would taste even better warmed up but couldn't resist it. They also have drinks and coffees as well and seemed pretty busy for a weekday. read more

Got to try their matcha here and even when I asked for sugar, none was added so it killed the matcha for me as it was watery too. The chocolate strawberry I tried though was soooo delicious. Overall loved the big selection of baked goods they have. Super cute inside with bright lighting and plenty of different seating towards the front and back. read more

Came here on a weekday afternoon and I was glad it wasn't busy. I got a coffee flavored bun and a chocolate tart. The bun was hard and stale, but the tart was delicious. Ordered a matcha tiramisu latte which was just okay, didn't taste any tiramisu flavor at all. But I really liked the design of the coffee cup lid. Smooth and perfectly curved! The service could definitely be better, especially the person making the drinks. The restroom was not neat. A homeless man was joining tables randomly making the patrons uncomfortable. Overall, not a pleasant experience. Do not recommend this place. read more

Tous Les Jours is a wellknown name, but I had never tried this staple in Asian French bakeries. Walking in, the elegant bakery felt like every traditional Japanese French shop, much like the ones you would find in Japan. The classic cloud cake is truly a cloud-- I tried the blueberry version, hesitant that it might be too sweet or worse, artificial, but it was delicious! The cream could be lighter but it didn't have too much of a leftover oil taste and every bite went by so fast I was left feeling like the cloud cake had melted away in my mouth like a dream. Highly recommend for anyone in the mood for a sweet treat, but there's so many goodies around selfcontrol will be needed here! read more

The hot honey lavender macchiato I had here kept me warm while in the Chicago streets. The green tea cake was on point and not too sweet or heavy. The service was quick and efficient which was truly appreciated. Love the ambiance and lighting of this place. Great place to grab a drink, sweet treat or both and hang out burning time. read more

Cozy and relaxing place located in the heart of Chinatown. It is quite a popular place so it gets crowded and hard to walk around. I stopped by before checking out another place so only got a couple of snacks. The curry croquette was delightful. Full of flavor but not overpowering. They have so many options to choose from so whether you like something savory or sweet, there's something for you. read more

Tous Les Jours - Pastry - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great puff pastries. Light whipped cream, not too sweet. Location in China Town Chicago, Illinois! They had a whipped matcha cream bread topped with matcha powder that was DELICIOUS. If you have to use the restroom, you must pay for your food and the code is on the receipt. Punch in the code on the door and it should open. $4-5 per pastry. Sweet and savory treats available! Cakes, macarons, teas, lattes, coffee available. It was pretty busy 2 hours after opening (10am). Either many of the loaves were gone or sold out quick! The purple loaf and coffee bread loaf was sold out. Many of the mini pastries overfilled though. read more

Fortunately got 2 coupons so both items were free - love! The cake slice was soo light, creamy, & fluffy! I'd order a whole one if I wasn't on a diet haha The cookies are solid but not anything I'd need again The place though is still unfortunately too small to navigate and doesn't allow you to actually look at the variety of options. Makes it super overwhelming and makes you want to hurry in and out. read more

This place has a huge variety of sweet and savory options, the bread was my favorite, we took some home and it made the best sandwiches. The coffee and tea were also really good, and tasty. The only thing that threw me off was the service. The staff gave off an air of condescension and seemed unwilling to engage with customers. It's hard to enjoy a place when you don't feel welcome. read more

Cakes and pastries that are not too sweet. French and Asian influenced with unique flavors and combinations with some absolutely solid drinks to pair. Definitely bought a lot of cakes from here over the years for all sorts of events - they make it super easy with the fun decorated cakes suitable for every occasion. I will say the self service model feels a little sad due to food and safety regulations - perhaps COVID related. I do miss the times when you could go into a bakery and just grab items without them being individually wrapped. But that's me - I totally understand the sanitation considerations and know that's a benefit for most. read more

This bakery looked like they had delicious items. They had a great location. They looked relatively popular as far as the stores went. Their baked goods were well-displayed. The store looked organized. I was grateful they had a restroom that I could use. I wish everyone all the best in Yeshua's Name. read more

Bought a smoothie ($7) and a madeleine ($3.5). Madeleine was delicious but the smoothie tasted like it was artificial juice and blended ice. Disappointed bc I would think a smoothie like this would have real fruit and less sugar in it (requested less sugar but didn't taste like less). Get an espresso or matcha drink instead. Might be better. read more

--Location/Parking-- Located in a strip mall inside Chinatown. Since I took the L train to get there. I am unsure on the parking situation, but there was plenty of foot traffic. --Ambiance-- Bakery was full of pastries where it was difficult just to walk by one another because the row are super tight, but there was a lot of choice in pastries. There was seating in the rear if you want to sit and relax and enjoy your food. --Service/Staff-- The staff are friendly and quickly checked you out or placed your coffee order. Without the staff, the place can turn quickly into chaos. --Food/Products-- Huge range of pastries you would normally find at an Asian bakery. I thought this chain was exclusive to Chicago but surprised to find it here in Atlanta. --Capacity-- I remember plenty of seats in the rear, but rows to look at pastries and order were narrow and thin. --Overall-- Recommended if you are in the area for Asian pastries, but the space is packed and limited. read more

Once they sell out , they close up , this happened before 9pm. The latte was $4, espresso shot $2. Very beautiful pastry and coffee shop. Many items were sold out and I felt it dropped 1 star because of this. Nice latte . Price was not bad in comparison to many shops in this outside shopping mall. To find it, enter through the West Gate, which is labeled and directly across from Walgreens. In front of Lao SZechuan . Many shops here souvenirs, Boba Teas and fantastic restaurants read more

I would go here all of the time, but today is the last day. The workers were playing with the "Natasha" doll. It's a dark skinned baby doll that you take your stress out on. If I'm being generous, maybe they dont know the racial implications, and how damaging that can be for another Black person to come across. The doll became pretty popular in Hong Kong and China. It later became international news because of the violent videos of people beating, stretching, and even BOILING the doll to "relieve stress". The Natasha dolls come in many other skin tones, but people deliberately buy the darker skinned ones to beat them up and abuse them. Like wtf, why do you get enjoyment out of using a Black BABY as a stress toy? Like yall are adults, use your head. Things like this is how violence against Black people slowly becomes acceptable in society. I can hear it now, "It's just a toy", "Black people always play the victim". Look, we don't live in a vacuum. This has real life consequences. It perpetuates the narrative of violence on Black bodies, Black BABIES. It shows how deep violence and hate towards Black people is normalized in the minds of those who aren't Black. I'm angry and hurt. More so, because I feel crazy that I have to even explain this, yet I feel conflicted to blame the workers and potentially risk their jobs. But ffs, this just shows how much other POC can dehumanize each other. This is the result of not teaching Black/African history, even on a global scale. I'm sick and tired. I just wanted a f-ing pastry. read more

We had hot Ube Lattes with Oat Milk substitutions. We enjoyed them. It's unfortunate that there is an up-charge for non-dairy alternatives; it's $1.50 extra which is steep for the up-charge compared to many cafes. You don't find Ube everywhere, so this was definitely a treat, but I don't see myself returning due to the non-dairy up-charge. read more

The place is cute and modern. It was quiet for middle of the day and on a Monday. Lots of variety and choices to choose from. I placed an order for a cake. I liked that there are different sizes. However each location offers different size cakes. This place did not offer the 6", so I ordered the 7" Mango cake. The cake was good and the cream had a sweet mango taste. However disappointed at the lack of mango in the cake. Although it was good the lack of mango was worth the price. read more

Beautiful and modern and very busy bc the dessert and coffee and bread and drinks are yummy and pretty! Right in the heart of new Chinatown on the first level. Artistic and well done desserts and it's very clean here. But cakes for any occasion and the taste is amazing and light. You use tongs to add items to your tray and then pay it to the cashier at the end. You can sit and dine w your coffee and bread or dessert inside or take out. You also have a bathroom you can use for free. Comfortable and nice seating. It's clean inside. read more

I thought the ube drink was just alright. This place is really busy in the weekend and it is hard to find seating. The staff were very kind!

Had a vanilla latte -- okay for the price, average-tasting I wanted to comment, however, because of this male cashier who was very rude to me. He was curt when I ordered which I didn't mind because I get that everyone has his days. But when I asked for the bathroom code, he told me very rudely and loudly that the code was on the receipt. I asked him if he could just give me the code since I threw the receipt already and I just ordered minutes ago. He mumbled something then proceeded to give me the code. I did not get his name nor was I interested in it because I didn't want to drag anyone. Will not come back. read more

A friend took me here for the first time a few weeks ago and I cannot believe I haven't been here before. This may be the best bakery in all of Chicago. I got the croissant, a curry croquette and some sort of mushroom onion slice and every single thing was amazing!! The new location on Taylor was very cute and vibrant. Bunch of tables and good lighting! Could totally work from here too. read more

I always enjoy stopping by Tous les Jours--it's such a calming space with a great variety of baked goods and drinks. Their lavender honey matcha latte is smooth and perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, which I love. I tried their macarons, and they were so good--light, delicate, and full of flavor. Also obsessed with their curry croquette--crispy on the outside, warm and flavorful inside. It's savory, satisfying, and makes a perfect snack or quick lunch bite. I am biased to the pistachio flavored one! Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to, whether it's to grab something to-go or sit for a bit with a latte and a pastry. read more

OMG this place!!!!! have the best flat croissant I have ever tasted! the place is cute and at very entrance of the chinatown market, is a mall bakery that offers pastries and coffee, I recommend the Tiramisu cold late so yummy. It is pricey $$ but worth it. I will come back and try something different. The staff were not very approachable ........ kinda 2 Asian rude males behind the counter. To use the bathroom you will need a code provided in the receipt when you pay for your order other wise you will not be allowed to use. read more

I've been a fan of this bakery for over a decade, having visited locations in Texas, California, and Illinois. Their pastries are consistently high quality, not overly sweet but a bit pricey. They have a rewards program though I've noticed it's inconsistently honored depending on the store, which can be a little frustrating. At this Chinatown location, it was very busy, with a long line of people ordering drinks, but I was just here for my usual: the melon and banana soft breads, my favorites. They were fresh and delicious as always. I've also loved their mango cloud cake at other locations, though I haven't tried it here yet. Overall, still a reliable spot for tasty, light pastries! read more
