Tous les Jours opens in Annandale
The Tous les Jours bakery and café opened Aug. 15 in the East Gate Shopping Center in Annandale.
The shop, at 4243 John Marr Drive, offers pastries, bread, fancy cakes, muffins, donuts, croissants, scones, buns, macarons, and other baked goods.
Drinks include various kinds of coffee, tea, and smoothies made with fresh fruit. Bing soo (Korean shaved ice with toppings) will be added to the menu in a couple of weeks.
Nearly everything is made in-house, says owner David Jeong, who previously worked for Tous les Jours outlets in Texas and New York while attending college.
The shop is part of the Tous les Jours chain owned by CJ Foodville.
Unlike independent bakeries, CV Foodville sets high standards for quality and design and uses data to provide items that customers want, Jeong says.
To celebrate the opening, customers who spend $25 will receive a free glass.
The bakery is open 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 7 a.m.-midnight on Friday and Saturday.
There was another Tous les Jours bakery at 7219 Columbia Pike in Annandale between 2014 and 2018. That building is still vacant.
“Unlike independent bakeries, CV Foodville sets high standards for quality and design” Really? Not a great way to come into the neighborhood by insulting other, locally owned businesses. I have found other independent bakeries in the area set a high bar for quality. This comment is really off putting and doesn’t make me want to shop here :-/
I thought the very same thing!!
Interesting. I thought this was a relocation of the other Tous Les Jours, but this is instead a whole new franchise. Despite the name I’m guessing there will be lots of Korean pastries, but I’m still going to look for macarons!
This place is wonderful and lovely to visit, as are the independent bakeries in the same neighborhood (Manoa, Breeze, etc.)
The other franchises location had a serious rodent issue. I’d see mice running across the floor on a regular basis. But that location did not seem Korean owned—I think that one was run by the same folks who have all the VABC stores and Fffx county and DMV staff jobs.
