This photo was taken at the Dublin, California location of Tous les Jours, a French-Korean bakery:

Have you been to a Tous les Jours bakery near you?
According to their website, “Currently, there are more than 50 stores in the United States and more than 1,500 stores all around the world.” Tous les Jours bakeries have been in the U.S. since 2004, and for the first time ever, I recently visited one! I went to their Dublin, California location (about 35 miles/ 56 km east of San Francisco).
When I walked in, it was instantly familiar. I had been to similar bakeries before where you take a tray, place a piece of wax paper on it, and take a pair of tongs. Then you walk around the pastry cases, take the baked goods that you want and place them on the tray. At times, however, the offerings looked better than they tasted.
But at Tous les Jours, I was pleased with all of my selections! I picked up a baguette, a chocolate flaky pastry, and six macarons.
The baguette was soft and delicious. I didn’t need to put butter or jam on it.
The chocolate flaky pastry (feuilleté au chocolat) was so good, I practically inhaled it!
There were around 14 flavors of macarons. In general, my favorite macaron flavor is vanilla, so I got one of those, along with coffee, blueberry lavender, rose, lemon, and Earl Grey tea flavors.

I could tell the macarons were fresh. When I bit into the vanilla one, there was a delicate crunch. The filling was light and flavorful. It was just the right size to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Overall, I enjoyed my first taste of Tous les Jours bakery!

I don’t think there are any Tous Les Jours bakeries in the UK. They sound delicious!

Maybe they’ll open one near you soon. From what I can tell on their website, it looks like they’re opening up new locations every few months or so!
