Have You Tried TOUS les JOURS? You MUST!
A few weeks ago my best friend text me asking if she could take me to this new bakery in town that recently opened to have coffee and a pastry for my birthday. I of course couldn’t pass up checking out a new bakery in town. When you walk in you are greeted by friendly smiling faces and then you immediately get hit with the aroma of fresh baked breads, donuts, cakes oh my! You saw employees carrying out fresh trays of baked goods and replenishing items in the beautiful glass cases. If you turn to the left right when you walk in you will see where you get to pick up a tray, grab some tongs and get to choosing what you want. It was hard to choose as there are so many different options. After finally deciding what you want you walk to the register and check out. You can either get it to go or eat in the bakery. They have a nice little couch section with tables or you can opt for a table. We opted for the couch area. I will say, we went around 9:15am and they had a steady crowd for the hour we were there.
Did you know that Tous les Jours is a French phrase that translates to every day in English? I decided to look up the bakery when I got home to see how they started. They launched in the United States in 2004. They became a quite reputable neighbor bakery specializing in French-Asian baked goods & hand crafted drinks, I will say their Vanilla Latte was very good. I did see after I ordered my Vanilla Latte that they had a Tiramisu Latte, that I will have to go back and try. All of their items are freshly baked everyday! There are only 110 locations in the United States but more than 1740 worldwide. If owning a bakery is your dream, I do see that they also offer franchise opportunities.
I will say, I will definitely go back I even had the thought upon looking at the cases of cakes and sweet treats by the checkout line, how easy it would be to grab something for that family thanksgiving get together you go to! If you are familiar with Newport News, Virginia then they are located by the Sweet Frog close to the Kohls shopping center. The address is 12515 Jefferson Avenue #150, Newport News VA 23602. They are open Monday thru Saturday from 7am-10pm and on Sunday’s 7am-8pm. Go one, give it a try! I promise you will not regret it!
