After Koryodang in Koreantown is closed, Tous Le Jours, another Korean bakery with a French name quickly replaced the K-town hotspot.
The decor is very different than Paris Baguette. It gives off a traditional bakery feeling, where the theme color is brown. It's no different than the one in Edison, NJ, yet it's bigger, and the seating area is FREE OF CHARGE, unlike Koryodang before.
The baked goods and dessert are awfully similar to Paris Baguette, but slightly pricier though. The drinks are sort of different, where they are promoting a squash smoothie now. They also serve shaved ice (of course), in about 4 different flavors (around $12 also).
Low quality drinks cost so much?
I ordered Lemon Jelly Smoothie and Peach Mango Jelly Smoothie (20 oz). Don't be fooled, it's NOT A SMOOTHIE. I repeat, NOT A SMOOTHIE. It's basically...a slushie with flavored bubbles underneath. Here are the reasons why they are bad:
1. Trick customers with names
Jelly? It's actually flavored bubble pops. Smoothie? It's actually a slushie.
2. Regular flavors yet the drink is $6 after tax
I can get the same quality in a cheaper bakery. No joke.
3. No bubble straw to suck up the bubbles
They really expect people to suck up the bubble pops with a regular straw? I needed to get a spoon to scoop up the orange pops. But on Yelp I saw they offered the bubble straw...what happened?
The good:
The peach mango smoothie tasted very tropical, good combination with the gluey sweet bubbles. Lemon one is just lemonade to me.
I really wouldn't recommend ordering drinks here. Yet definitely try their baked goods, they're decent like Paris Baguette.
