The sweet and savory treats at this North Side bakery and cafe are a case of love at first bite.
The dizzying arrays of pretty pastries at Tous les Jours — French for “every day” — aren't an acquired taste. In fact, those sweet and savory, crowd-pleasing treats seem engineered to generate love at first bite. But getting that first bite hasn't always been easy at frequently busy Tous les Jours, a newcomer attached to The City apartment complex near the Ohio State campus.
Tous les Jours operates like a bakery shop where everything is tempting, so I recommend perusing the myriad options before piling up goodies, which is done with the grab-your-own white plastic trays and tongs awaiting patrons near the entrance. The sausage onion pastry , which invites comparison with an oversized pig in a blanket, could’ve been called a “hog on a cot.” It’s a whole smoky frankfurter nestled into a flaky, golden-brown pastry “bun” garnished with ketchup, mayo and chopped onions. Sure, this might make a Chicago-style hot dog zealot cry, but I was smiling.
Both the kimchi croquette and curry croquette evoked savory jelly doughnuts with soft-yet-nubby exteriors. Both were enjoyable, and the kimchi croquette was surprisingly spicy.
