Having visited the new Tous Les Jours in Henderson several times--during their grand opening, on Christmas morning, and again the weekend after Christmas--I can confidently share a balanced perspective on this bakery café.
The parking situation varies significantly depending on the time of day. During the grand opening and post-Christmas weekend evenings, the lot was busy but manageable. In contrast, Christmas morning offered ample empty spaces. If you're planning to visit, I recommend avoiding peak evening hours to ensure a more relaxed experience.
The interior is airy, clean, and welcoming, though slightly smaller in square footage compared to their Spring Mountain location. Upon entry, you're greeted with their signature pastry station, where you can grab a tray, tongs, and wax paper to begin your selection. For convenience, hot pastries like croquettes and hot dogs are kept in a warming machine near the front. Near the cashier, you'll find a beautiful display of cakes, cake slices, and macarons, giving the space a polished and sophisticated touch.
The pastries are the standout here, with my personal favorites being the guava pastries, double chocolate fudge muffin and the spinach strudel. However, I found their garlic cheese bread to be underwhelming--it lacked the freshness and savory punch you'd expect from similar offerings in Korea.
While I appreciate their drink menu, it left much to be desired. The ube latte, despite its strikingly vibrant purple color, missed the mark on flavor, leaning too milky and lacking the distinct yam essence. The coffee latte and shaken espresso were similarly disappointing--the latter tasted more like a diluted chocolate latte than a robust espresso drink.
Currently, the location is running several appealing promotions. Spend $30 or more, and you'll receive a free glass mug or umbrella. Additionally, if you order from their sister shop, Banchan Village, located next door, you can enjoy a 10% discount on your Tous Les Jours purchase and vice versa.
The overall atmosphere is pleasant and conducive to working or relaxing. Despite the buzz of patrons, the noise level was manageable, and I found it enjoyable to work on my laptop without needing headphones. That said, the Wi-Fi is a drawback, with speeds barely hitting 10 Mbps. On a brighter note, the booths in the back are equipped with outlets, making it convenient for charging devices.
Tous Les Jours Henderson offers a clean and modern bakery experience with a solid selection of pastries and cakes. While their drinks need refinement and the Wi-Fi could use an upgrade, the spacious layout and friendly service make this a worthwhile visit--just be mindful of peak hours and manage your expectations on beverages. read more
