Tous Les Jours, Burlingame

It's easy to tell when a pastry comes from Tous Les Jours—just look for a slick, ornate presentation and sweetly nuanced flavors. To create these edible masterpieces, bakers rely on French and Asian culinary techniques, crafting every bun, macaron, and cake with care and thoughtfulness. Ingredients hail from Korea, and recipes come from all across the globe.

With more than 20 bakeries between the coasts, the Korean bakery franchise, Tous Les Jours offers plenty of opportunities to taste their goods. Layered berry mousse cakes topped with fresh fruit, dense red bean buns bursting with sweet paste, pastel moon cakes imprinted with decorative patterns, and buns stuffed with sweet Parmesan make up just a few of the sweet options. They also serve cold and frozen desserts, such as bubble tea and green tea-flavored ice cream, to cool patrons down during hot weather or apocalyptic firestorms. They even stock a few savory items, too, such as the fried kimchi croquette and the classic ham-and-cheese croque monsieur.
