Looking for a cozy spot to study, chill with friends or grab a delicious treat? I’ve got you covered. One of my favorite cafes—Tous Les Jours– is a delightful gem just 20 minutes from campus in Chantilly. Whether you’re craving a decadent mango cream donut or a tiramisu latte, this unique cafe has something for everyone.

 Store manager Peter Shin shares that Tous Les Jours is more than just a bakery; it’s a place where people from all walks of life come together. “It’s a melting pot,” Shin said. “A lot of people from different backgrounds and cultures meet here. There’s something for everybody—great pastries, great cakes, and a welcoming space.”

With its inviting ambiance, free Wi-Fi and plenty of charging outlets, Tous Les Jours is perfect for students and professionals alike. Open from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and until 10 p.m. on weekends, the cafe’s flexible hours cater to both early risers and night owls.

Tous Les Jours is great for pastry lovers. From buttery croissants to indulgent cakes, the menu has something for every craving. “Our sliced cakes are very popular, especially anything chocolate,” Shin explained. “The Mont Blanc pastry is one of my personal favorites—it’s super good.”

Looking for more? Their hot dogs, twist donuts and smaller treats are equally tempting. For the fans, the chocolate croissants are a dream.

When it comes to drinks, the options are just as delicious. Customer favorites include the sweet iced lattes like caramel macchiatos and refreshing beverages like strawberry lemonade. As for me, the mango cream donut is always the perfect pick, and I love pairing it with a tiramisu latte.

Tous Les Jours goes beyond just food and drinks—it’s about the experience. “We’ve got free water, free electricity, but the best part is the free vibes,” Shin said humorously. This place has become a go-to hangout for many, with a relaxed yet lively atmosphere that’s perfect for the studious or the adventurous.

“It’s a place for anybody and everybody,” said Shin. “Whether you want to come in and study, chill, or pregame with your friends, you’ll find something here.”

Mornings are usually bustling with a rush of customers grabbing croissants and coffee, while brunch hours bring a steady crowd. If you prefer a quieter scene, the early afternoon, around 2:30 p.m., to evening, around 5:30 p.m., are ideal times to visit.

Tous Les Jours is more than just a cafe—it’s a community hub. With incredible pastries, delicious drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to escape the everyday hustle. Next time you’re looking for a new hangout, head to this cute cafe. Don’t forget to try the Mont Blanc pastry or their strawberry lemonade—you might just find your new favorite treat.
