Tous les Jours has opened up in Portage, and it may be the most popular bakery in the area already.

Since it’s having a soft opening on April 30 and then a grand opening on May 1, it's common to see lines out the door, as people have been anticipating this bakery's opening and are eager to try its exquisite pastries and café items.

It’s going to be a difficult time for Tim Hortons, which sits next door to this bakery.
