    Crème Cake #1
    Tiffany T.

    I hate to give this cake and establishment a review like this but honestly I was very disappointed in my experience with the Tous Les Jour located in HMart on Bellaire. I want to preface and say that I have been to Tous Les Jour in Austin before and I always had great experiences there. When I moved to Houston I was expecting something similar but this location doesn't even compare. To begin, I ordered this cake at least a week ahead of time in person and prepaid for it. I was given a receipt and they also kept a copy and took down my phone number and name. When I came to pick it up, the lady who appeared to be the manager rudely asked for the 4 digit number. At that time, I had forgotten to bring the receipt I was given, but since they kept a copy and I could provide my personal information and show my statements that I already paid I didn't think this would be an issue. We went back and forth and eventually she gave me the cake but while doing so, the whole time I could hear her speak in Korean talking bad about myself. I admit, it wasn't ideal that I left the receipt but I also had multiple ways to show that I ordered this cake and at multiple points she refused to serve it to me. Onto the cake, this was the worst cake I have ever received from Tous Le Jour. The berries on top were clearly old as all of the strawberry's were mushy. I also want to preface that I had placed this cake immediately in the fridge after picking it up. For basically a $50 cake, and to say I ordered this ahead of time, this is extremely disappointing to pay for such poor quality. I see why people in Houston rather support other Asian bakeries like 85. Also, I'm not sure if these pastries and cakes are even prepared on site as there is no physical bakery attached to this location as compared to the other ones I've seen before in Austin. This was definitely my last and final experience with Tous Le Jour here in Houston. Save yourself the money and effort and support other bakeries in the area.

    Whenever one comes across a Jollibee's or a Lee's Bakery, it's a legit sign of a Filipino / Vietnamese presence in the community. The same can be said of Koreans and Tous Les Jours (#1), a "French-Asian-Inspired" bakery that started in South Korea in the late 90s and boasts roughly 1,500 locations worldwide. Three of those locations are here in Houston, including this one inside H-Mart in Bellaire Chinatown. (#2) It's located right next to the entrance / exit of H-Mart and is a perfect spot to sit for a quick snack, sip, or even a little WiFi action. It's also a destination for folks not wanting to scour the aisles of the supermarket and is an easy place to sit and people watch. There isn't a ton of seating, but certainly enough for a small group or solo action. The selection, especially in the mornings, is plentiful. There's usually a good variety of buns, cakes, and pre-packaged pastries that make for a nice snack on the go. For more special occasions, they offer a limited number of cakes each day that are moderately sized, but are tastefully decorated. I love that each cake is carefully placed in a box with a cake cutter and candles upon request. The only downside is that they're all pretty pricey. Small cakes are going to be in the $30+ range with slightly larger or elaborate designs ones going over $40. It's a gamble anytime I ask the staff to write any custom messaging on the cakes, since most of my messages have been semi-botched in some way. At the end of the day, a TLJ is sort of a premium version of an in-house grocery store bakery for shoppers at H-Mart. _______________ (#1) French for "Every / Each Day" (#2) And what's even more legit? All of the aforementioned chains are alive and well in Houston. #diverse

    I grocery shop at HMart frequently so naturally I stop by TLJ to pick up some pastries every now and then. They have a good selection of assorted pastries. For cakes, I pre-ordered to pickup but to my surprise, they don't actually reserve or bake your cake fresh. They just packed whatever was available in the display section. Bad customer service in my opinion, as cakes could've been sitting there for days. Nonetheless, the ones I got were fairly fresh. The cake itself isn't too crazy sweet and the sponge/cream ratio was just right. I think for the quality of the cake, $43 isn't too bad for 8in.

    Tous Les Jours is a South Korean bakery with locations in Asia and the US. I prefer this Bellaire location versus the Blalock location. All of the Houston locations are inside H-Mart. There is also a Katy location that I have yet to visit! This location is spacious, well lit and has a really large refrigerated section. It is more aesthetically pleasing with more options than the original location on Blalock. I highly recommend you try their breads, cakes and pastries! They seem to use higher quality ingredients than other bakeries in Houston. My favorite items I always pick up are the refrigerated puff pastry pastries with various fruits such as strawberries or raspberries. Their croquettes are also really yummy. We just picked up a mocha buttercream cake and everyone really enjoyed it. It was extremely light and not too sweet. The cake also came with a really cute plastic serving knife with matches in it and 5 cute candles!

    Nice bakery inside of the H Mart, we enjoyed the baked goods here starting with the strawberry bun, which was soft and had great flavor. Will return to try other items here, and the Japanese cheese cake My oh My and delicious surprise. Great experience!

    Better than three les jours

    I prefer 3 Les Jours and 4 Les Jours to 2 Les Jours but that's another story. I find these bakery chains all over the country - often attached to grocery stores but sometimes not - and they all have one thing in common, which is that they seem to be just a little too pricey. Some seem to be pricier than others and this one is particularly expensive. The products are good although some of them are not so good. But the price is prohibitive. Like the other reviewer, I don't like that they throw away so much stuff (often well before closing time) each day, which could be sold half price, quarter price, given away, or better yet, put outside for the homeless. Nope. If they cleaned up this part of their act I'd give them 4. Despite the prices.

    What a joke....  Cake size comparisons 1 year apart.
    Billy S.

    Ordered a birthday cake over the weekend because the birthday boy loves cake from this place. When we got it, I made a comment about how it looks a little small compared to last year... Facebook memories this morning confirmed the attention to detail and the size difference... yeah. What a laughing joke to pay $40 for a single layer cake. Lost a customer that's for sure.

    Matcha strawberry bread
    Veronica J.

    Bread is very good, it's soft and the flavors they offer are true to their nature. I loved the melon bread, that one is just about my favorite. The downside is the coffee promotions, they have them all over the place advertising two new coffee flavors but they don't even have the ingredients to make it.

    Disgusting!!! Puffs are with mold! We bought a jar of cream puffs from this bakery and found out the puffs were molded right after walking out of store. We went back immediately to show them. They just wanted to change to another jar. After I refused and wanted refund, they said," It was NOT mold. It was BLUE BERRIES." I was sooo shocked! Both their products and their way of lying in front of fact were so disgusting! I can't trust this store at all.

    Macaron selection

    Do you know when you meet a cute guy, and then turns out he has a bad personality? Yeah... that's how I felt about these macarons.

    Inside milk bun. Little black speckles are "vanilla bean"
    Rose L.

    Upon checking out I gazed towards the right side of the store and saw a chic bright and modern little bakery that caught my attention. I've never really been a fan of Tous Les Jours but I'm a sucker for cute things and their pastries were all too good looking to pass up. I had just ate so my appetite wasn't big and decided to only try 2 buns which I thought were pretty good MILK BUN- saw that vanilla bean was an ingredient listed but I did not taste any however there were speckles of the vanilla bean inside. The bun was I kid you not, the softest and moist bread I ever had in my life. Vanilla flavorings are usually really strong but I did not taste any. It had more of a milky but eggy taste. The texture of the filling was light, not overly sweet and very creamy GREEN TEA SOFT BREAD- the bread itself was too powdery but it was still good. There was a subtle hint of matcha but you could barely taste it. The bread was also really soft. The filling was creamy and buttery I read from another yelper that they throw away their breads at the end of the day so that means fresh bread daily! My only gripe is the price. It is too expensive. $27 for what seems to be like a 6-8in cake and my little bread was $2 each while usually run for $1.25-1.50 at kamalan and six ping The macarons were good, soft and light.. until they gave my family and I the shizzzzz

    Always enjoy this bakery. We always get a sweet treat before we leave. Very convenient location get all my groceries and sweets in one place.

    Very disappointing!!

    #touslesjours has been my favorite korean bakery but today it has changed my mind. This type of action is very unprofessional. There was a lot of people looking and feeling sad, some started to buy so it wouldn't go to waste and others had complaints. After a while people just started to leave and so did I, but I couldn't just walk away so I went back and took picture for everyone to see. I understand this happens everywhere, but do it after hours because it can put a bad image in your business. #food #baking #bakery #unprofessional #wastful #sweets #teen #wecanbebetter

There's some seating inside if you want to eat there. Prices are very reasonable at $2 each for the mochi and egg tarts. The savory pastries were $3. It's located in a shared lot/area. Parking can be tight and limited on a busy weekend day but they have parking right out front for the Eck bakery customers. Also note that if you pay with card it's a 2.5% charge so cash is better if you have it. We didn't but we know now for future. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back. Next time we'll come earlier and get a bigger order and try their other offerings.

They have a select variety of pastries. We got their butter croissant, blueberry cream cheese danish, and spinach pastry. The croissant was one of the best I had in Houston! It is subtle, buttery, and flaky and does not go stale from staying out all day. I think these Houston croissants are the most similar to the ones I had in France! The blueberry cream cheese danish had a healthy and generous amount of blueberries. It was flaky, and the cream cheese flavor was not overwhelming or artificial. The spinach pastry was also flaky like the others and had a good spinach and cream flavor. I also had a bite of my friend's cinnamon kouign-amann, but it was not as good as the others and was a bit on the drier side. All the pastries I got were well balanced with subtle flavors and had golden, crispy flakes. I really enjoyed them, and although I have been here a handful of times, it's definitely a Houston croissant staple, which I will be visiting more often!

    Artisana is my go-to for fresh bread; it's the best I've found in the city, especially the classic…read moresourdoughs. The scones and pastries are more hit-or-miss, sometimes fantastic and sometimes slightly overcooked and dry. This is a place to buy great bread. If you're there and the croissants and pastries look good, go for it--but there are better destinations if that's your draw. Zero atmosphere and not a place to hang out.

    I love to eat at El Bolillo Bakery. It all started because my boyfriend really loves their conchas,…read moreso he was the one who introduced me to the place. I've always liked bakeries, but I try to eat on the healthier side, so I usually avoid anything that might tempt me.But I am a sucker for cinnamon rolls, so when I saw they had them, of course I had to try one and they are so, so good. Now we actually go there about once every two weeks because we love it that much and I look forward to opening the front doors and smelling the sweet smell of baked goods Recently we also found out that they have cheese & sausage kolaches, and oh my gosh, they are delicious. They are really, really good and were such a nice surprise when we tried them. The location closest to us is the one on Airline Drive, and we usually go in the afternoon so we can avoid the after-work crowd. That time of day works really well for us because there aren't too many people, which makes it easier to grab bread and look around without feeling rushed. The ordering process is pretty quick and simple. You grab your metal tray and tongs, open each little door, pick what you want, and put it on the tray. When you're ready, you go to the register where the ladies count the breads, ring everything up, and bag it nicely for you. We're usually in and out pretty fast, which we really like. We love going to El Bolillo, and at this point it has definitely become a staple for us. We honestly can't get enough of it.

    Best Panadería in Houston. A neighborhood staple. Bolillo always has the softest conchas and bread,…read morethe empanadas de piña have real chunks of pineapple, the marranitos are the best around town, and the never-ending line for Bolillos should tell you how good they are.

    Honestly, I try not to indulge in sweet desserts for health reasons, but whilst visiting family, my…read moremother couldn't stop raving about this place and how she so enjoyed their desserts so much that she goes back over and over again to buy by the dozens to gift to all her friends..... especially their chocolate panache tarts.... but unfortunately, the day we went to try, they were all sold out by lunch time. So, what we decided to do was to place an order for the chocolate ganache tarts a couple of days later, but while we were here, we'd try their Amandine tart, Sachertorte, and an Eclaire. Wow, I just had a bite of each and....daaaang, they were so so soooo good! So satisfying, so decadent, so next level deliciousness! ... perhaps a little sweet, but not overly so... thoroughly enjoyed just the taste of each. A couple of days later when we finally got to try their chocolate ganache tarts... wow... again! So obviously freshly baked, such wonderful density, flavor, and bite... with a butter cookie textured shell..... absolute heaven, and so difficult to just limit oneself to just one bite, but I managed. I'm sure we'll be back here again during our next visit.

    This is the type of establishment I would always support. Japanese-owned bakery who took over a…read moreprevious French bakery. You can see the perfections in everything they do. The bakery itself is simple and clean. Be respectful of the place and help clean up after yourself. Not one customer made a mess there. Everyone are respectful to the sweet owner. The drinks itself are simple, reasonably priced on the cheaper side. Not sweet at all so ask if you want it to be sweeten. Quality and perfect desserts. Just semi-sweet so if you have a crazy sweet tooth, this is not your bakery. Again, prices are extremely reasonable and I see lots of locals who enjoy coming here. Prices are actually on the lower side of what I see throughout Houston. Passionfruit tart was my favorite, if you need someone to tell you what to try.
