As French-Asian bakery Tous les Jours opens in Lotte Plaza Market in Arlington, the city is reviewing a permit application for the build-out of a second in Jacksonville in the Baymeadows Village retail center.

Three weeks after the city began reviewing plans for interior demolition, it now is looking at a request for a permit for an estimated $200,000 renovation of the former Panera Bread cafe at 9810 Baymeadows Road, Unit 6.

June Ye LLC of Clearwater is the contractor. The architect is Zhi Feng in Duluth, Georgia.

Tous les Jours has a bakery within the Lotte Plaza Market, which opened Sept. 12 at 9355 Atlantic Blvd. in the Arlington area.

The Baymeadows location is at southwest Baymeadows Road and Southside Boulevard. Panera moved nearby to 9485 Baymeadows Road, where it built a new stand-alone bakery cafe.

Lotte Plaza Market is an Asian and international grocery store with a food court and the bakery.

Special to the Daily Record

Tous les Jours, which means “every day” in French, says it launched in the United States in 2004.

RestaurantBusinessOnline.com reported May 9, 2025, that Tous les Jours, with U.S. headquarters in Los Angeles, offers an extensive selection of baked goods, all made fresh daily in each of its more than 160 U.S. cafes, which Regina Schneider, chief marketing officer of the chain’s North American operations, estimates will number 200 by year’s end. 

The site said the chain’s signature is its cloud cake, which comes in flavors including strawberry, mango, green tea and mocha, all decorated with fresh fruit and other edible garnishes. Cakes can be bought whole or by the slice.

Tous les Jours offers pastries, such as guava Danish, strawberry croissants and yuzu (citrus) pie, along with almond croissants and pain au chocolat. 

Schneider said Tous les Jours has 300 menu items in its assortment, and every store carries at least 100.

There also are savory pastries and sandwiches and a beverage menu with a number of Asian-influenced drinks such as ube latte and honey lavender matcha latte, along with more mainstream espresso drinks and teas.  

The site said Tous les Jours has operated as a franchise-led brand in the U.S. for 20 years, but only in the past few has the company put a big push behind expansion.
