A few folks were having brunch in the dining area, which was mainly decorated with fleur de lis banners. I overheard the chef calling out from the kitchen that they were out of red beans and rice, which sounded like it was a popular dish. There are lots of other Cajun-style offerings. Though it was a week after Easter when we went, the sign out front was still promoting Mardis Gras (50 days difference). When you walk in, there are pastries in one display case, but you walk further down to order, which made it a little awkward to say "hey, can we walk back down and I'll point to which baked goods I want?" But the guy behind the counter obliged and we picked out a few items. The pastries were fine. A croissant, pain au chocolat, and chocolate cookie were all good, but nothing spectacular or standout from what I might find elsewhere. If I come back, I think I'll try some of the sandwiches or breakfast items.

I was looking for a new spot spot in the Columbia area and came across Touche Touchet bakery. The…read moreservice was great. The menu was overwhelming and the employee at the register did a good job of walking me through the breakfast items and what was popular. I settled on a bacon egg and cheese croissant with a small coffee. I also ordered a French dip with french fries for lunch. The breakfast was your typical run of the mill breakfast, nothing really stood out, but it was tasty. The French dip was prepared pretty well maybe it's because I waited too long to eat it, it could've been better. I recommend sitting down and eating in this restaurant. If you have time, their menu is pretty large and some other items did look appetizing. Breakfast sandwich 6/10 French dip 5/10

I tried the chocolate frosted donut, seasonal peach muffin, frosted twist, and chocolate blackout cake. They have a case for donuts and muffins, as well as a refrigerated section. The refrigerated section has a variety of whole cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes among others things. If you don't want to buy a whole cake, they have a selection of slices at the register. They also have ample seating inside and a drink case (with milk to wash down the chocolate goods!) if you want to eat in. The employees I interacted with were nice too. Will definitely be back.

Unfortunately, this time didn't hit. My daughter liked them, but didn't love them -- and that's usually not the case with cupcakes. Her go-to move is eating the icing first, and even that got shut down. The frosting had a crusty texture instead of being soft and creamy. The cakes themselves were dry. I've never seen her ask for milk with cupcakes, let alone take a sip after every bite. That's when it hit me -- maybe the mistake was trusting the pre-order to be fresh. I probably would've been better off just picking 6 straight from the display case. Very disappointing, especially for a birthday treat. Not sure I'd recommend pre-ordering from here again.

The beverage menu is extensive with an impressive variety of beers. I selected the Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Doppleboch - a "lightly oak smoked and malty amber lager." The food selection - appetizers, salads, soups, and entrees is an authentic German selection. I choose the sauerbraten with two sides - spatzle with cheese and potato dumplings with the sauerbraten gravy. The meal came out in short order after the beer. The meal was very good. The beef was a bit tough and the gravy was a bit sweet. Overall it seemed to not have been vinegar marinated for a week, although when asked, the kitchen stated they marinate in vinegar for a week. The potatoes dumpling with Sara gravy tasted authentic. The sparkle with garlic cheese was very good - some of the best I've ever had. I ordered German chocolate cake with a cup of regular coffee. It was a quite excellent slice of cake! The restaurant is very clean throughout. I would recommend it in this neck of the woods; while if in DC, consider going to Old Europe restaurant on Wisconsin Ave as another authentic alternative.

It just might be the best cheesecake I've ever had. It's VERY sweet so I doubt anyone can finish one whole piece in one sitting but worth every single calorie. The baked and other cashier were lovely! Very kind even though I came pretty much right before closing. There's plenty of choices and also some room for sitting down if you want to eat in there!

However, over time, I've come to appreciate it for much more. They carry a wide range of off-brand items that often taste just as good, if not better, than the name brands--and at a fraction of the cost. If you're shopping on a budget, Aldi is a great option. That said, the produce section can be hit or miss. On several occasions, I've seen mold or fruit flies around the strawberries and peaches, so I usually steer clear of the fresh produce. On the other hand, their refrigerated and frozen sections offer a solid selection of quality items and hidden gems. Despite the quirky $0.25 cart system, I actually enjoy shopping here. I also love bagging my own groceries--nothing worse than finding your coffee packed next to motor oil! The staff is consistently friendly and helpful, which makes each visit pleasant. Thanks, Aldi, for being a reliable and budget-friendly grocery spot (with a few quirks)!
