Cute little bakery with nice staff. It's a small family business and the inventory isn't gigantic,…read morebut the pastries they make are fresh. There's a nice refrigerated area with tres leches cake slices, flan, and pop. It's a true panaderia with la concha of different choices (a few times they were really dry and crumbly), cookies (tasted stale the past 3 times), and the churros (ALWAYS the win here)!!! The churros are delicious when they're freshly made - regular cinnamon sugar, filled with chocolate or vanilla. THIS is why I come here! Some of the pastries are hit or miss, maybe depends on when I'm stopping in? The churros however are always good and keeps me coming back. Plus I can't walk into a Mexican bakery and not leave with a la concha or other goodies.

They were very professional, the tasting went very well and they were attentive listening to ideas and coming up with a classic but unique cake together. We didn't want a cake topper, and we were only using real flowers for the wedding and not reception so we opted for flowers made from icing (which turned out really neat!). We wanted a cool ombre look because our colors were navy blue, light blue, white and silver. It turned out really neat without being so blue everyone's teeth would look like Smurfs lol. We did two layers with Fudge in the middle, and two with Oreo and it was SO good. I cannot recommend them enough! All photos are by Mel Schroeder Photography in the Chicago Suburbs.

However, the past few times I've ordered from there, the products have been somewhat underwhelming. Got two kolaczki's and both were very dry. Also got a slice of German chocolate cake and it was dry, too sweet, and tasted old. The doughnuts are generally very good as well as the coffee cakes. But the pastries do not taste as good as they look behind the counter. I admit, I did arrive about 20 minutes before closing, but that should not affect the taste that much.

I was so happy to come across this local gem and obviously I was in the right place for donuts…read morebecause the people just keep coming by the twos and threes lol. The donuts were fresh and moist and plump and the icing and glazes were thick and evenly distributed over the dough. No wild gimmicks- just smiles from behind the counter and donuts that don't look like they're about to die. The only critique I have is that the flavors are a little more distinct. However I don't like my donuts with a bunch of stuff on top to produce a flavor either ...... so yeah- I will definitely be going back

Even though Tous Les Jours is a chain, the quality of the baked goods and drinks is fantastic!…read moreThere are so many delicious pastries to choose from, and everything looked fresh and beautifully made. The customer service was also great and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I got the strawberry matcha, and it was honestly so good. It wasn't overly sweet, and I could taste both the strawberry and matcha without either flavor overpowering the other. I also tried the milk bread with custard inside, and it was absolutely delicious. The bread was soft and fluffy, and the custard filling was the perfect addition. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, too. Definitely a great spot to grab a pastry and a drink, and I'll be coming back to try more!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience here was disappointing…read more My family and I stopped by on Saturday shortly before closing. As employees were already putting away the bread, I politely asked if I could grab a piece before everything was picked up. I was told that the bread was being moved to the front and that someone would assist me there. While I waited, two other groups entered after me. They heard the same information and ended up being helped before I was, despite the employees knowing that I had been waiting first. I politely asked twice for assistance and was told to continue waiting while the other groups were served. What made the situation more frustrating was that the customers ahead of me were taking a long time deciding what they wanted. I had already put on a plastic glove and was prepared to select my own bread, but I was told that wasn't necessary because an employee would help me. While waiting, I witnessed one of the teenagers from a group point directly at the bread, and another teenager pushed their hand into it. This happened in front of the employees, and no one addressed the situation or reminded them not to touch the food. As someone who was trying to follow proper sanitation practices, I found this very concerning. Not only did this happened once but 2,3 times infront of them. Yet nothing was addressed. After being ignored, waiting while others were served ahead of me, and seeing unsanitary behavior go unaddressed, I decided to leave without making a purchase. I was disappointed by both the customer service and the lack of attention to food handling standards.

But that's about it. The staff was helpful and the check out lines weren't backed up. It is a bit pricey but not alarmingly so. Aside from the parking being more chaotic than usual the most disappointing part was the fresh bakery section. They must hire an extremely experienced pastry chef for the level of cakes and cheesecakes they're trying to create. The filling in the tarts were "off" .. the cheesecake flavors and consistency wasn't tasty at all. The cake was blah and didn't taste like the flavor it was intended to taste like. I would pick of up a few key items in the frozen or spice section regularly

I love Matt's Cookies they are great. Being that I was looking for something that was unique and being that I missed the midwest this was it. Being I am on the hunt for gluten free items this was one of few I could find. I love that there was selections I could try. I love the chocolate chip, Oatmeal raisin. And several others too. Thanks for making something that I can now eat! read more

What happened to the cookies. Just got a case delivered to me in California and it ruined my childhood. The orginal chocolate cookies always brought me back to younger days growing up in Wheeling. The new cookies have no flavor and greatly disappoint. As with with everything else I'll have to get my chocolate chip fix from Costco now. BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL RECIPE read more
