Why Tous les Jours Is My Favorite Bakery in Peachtree City

A love letter to cream-filled pastries, smart carbs, and the joy of choosing more than one

Tous les Jours is a bakery built for people who love carbs.

This is not a place for restraint or virtue signaling. This is a place for soft bread that gives way to cream, for pastries that burst with fruit filling, for sugar on the outside and whipped sweetness inside. If you like the moment when a pastry surprises you — when you didn’t quite know what you ordered but immediately understand why it works — this bakery is going to make you very happy.

The South Korean bakery chain blends French technique with Asian flavors, and that combination shows up in texture first. Things here are fluffy, chewy, light without being dry, rich without being heavy. The pastries don’t sit in your stomach like a brick — they sit in your memory.

Which is why choosing well matters.

My number one recommendation: the honey cheese pancakes

If you order only one thing at Tous les Jours, make it the honey cheese pancakes. This is my ride-or-die pastry, the one I get almost every time.

They are, in fact, pancakes — you get three small, round, sticky discs with a mochi-like chew, filled with cream cheese and lightly glazed with honey. They’re rich without being heavy, sweet without being cloying, and just sticky enough that napkins are not optional.

Everyone I’ve ever shared them with has loved them. I don’t know what kind of magic is happening in those pancakes, but I respect it deeply.

Donuts, but not the kind you’re picturing

Tous les Jours donuts are not cake donuts. They’re closer to yeast donuts — light, fluffy, and airy — but instead of being fried, they taste baked. This may be a comforting lie I tell myself as I bite through the sugar on the outside and hit the whipped-cream filling inside, but I stand by it. And one thing that’s not a lie: every donut I’ve had here has a filling, and it’s usually cream-based.

The corn cheese donut is the exception — and it’s obviously fried. You can tell by the pocket of air that forms inside it in the fryer, creating a light interior that gives a little pop when you bite into it. Inside that airy space are corn kernels and a cheesecake-like filling, which sounds odd until you taste it and realize it absolutely works. The corn is a surprise, not a gimmick, adding texture and sweetness without overwhelming the donut.

Their strawberry donuts are also excellent. Honestly, everything they do with strawberry tends to be.

The strawberry Saboro: trust the process

The strawberry Saboro looks like it might be heading toward peanut butter and jelly territory, thanks to its nutty topping and strawberry filling. But that’s not where it lands.

Instead, the crunchy topping gives you a salty-sweet contrast — more like the satisfaction of something salted caramel — paired with fresh strawberry filling and cream. It’s layered, textured, and far more interesting than it first appears. This is a pastry you finish and immediately understand why people keep ordering it.

A general rule here: if it says it has cream inside, you’re going to be happy with it.

Milk Cream Bread: the bestseller for a reason

The Milk Cream Bread isn’t necessarily my first choice — but it is their bestseller, and I understand why.

I ate mine in the car after a post-Pilates stop at ProHealth, completely defeating the purpose of the workout. The first bite is soft white bread. The second bite hits the sweet filling, and suddenly the pastry makes sense. At around $3, it’s approachable, comforting, and dangerously easy to justify.

You don’t rush this bakery

You don’t make a six-second decision at Tous les Jours.

Instead, you grab a tray, line it with the red-and-white paper, and slowly work your way down the pastry case, adding items until you decide — very reasonably — that your tray has enough pastry on it. Then you get in line to pay.

This is the correct way to do Tous les Jours.

That French influence matters here, because everything is baked fresh daily. The pastries you’re choosing from were made that morning — which also explains why, if you stop by later in the afternoon, some of the best things are already gone. The pastries are not endless. They bake fresh, and then they sell out.

Not everything is perfect

In the interest of honesty: I once ordered a spinach pastry hoping for something fully savory and was disappointed to find it topped with a sweet glaze. It didn’t taste bad — it just wasn’t what I wanted, and I wouldn’t order it again.

If you’re firmly in the savory camp, read carefully or ask questions. Tous les Jours occasionally sneaks sweetness where you might not expect it.

What to drink

The iced coffee is fine. Not exceptional, but completely passable if you want coffee and a pastry in one stop. They also have a solid tea selection. Lately, I’ve been opting for a San Pellegrino from the case — refreshing, no calories, and a good balance with something sweet.

For kids and teens, the smoothies are a hit. I once brought my nieces — a tween and a teen — and gave them complete carte blanche. Between the two of them, they ordered five pastries and two smoothies. We were on our way out to shop for their Christmas gifts, and the stop felt indulgent, memorable, and sweet in exactly the way you hope moments like that will feel.

A note on health scores and reality

Tous les Jours’ current Department of Public Health score is a 90 — perfectly passable for a bakery. Nothing here suggests you’re taking unnecessary risks beyond sugar and self-control.

Final thoughts from the pastry aisle

I’ve made a point on my last three visits to order unfamiliar items strictly for the purpose of this column — which is, admittedly, another lie I tell myself. It was really for pastry.

So far, everything has been pretty marvelous.

As so many people slip into a low-carb January, I hope this bakery stays open, survives the month, and lives to see another day, another donut.
