| - After stuffing myself at Delmonico's at Venetian, we decided to walk it off at Palazzo. I have heard my friends rave about Illy's coffee, so while my party was lining up for gelatos, I asked about their coffees.
"What kind of coffee do you have? Ground or beans?"
"Errr.... hold on."
This guy went to another for help.
"What was your question?"
"Do you sell those coffee on display behind you? Are they instant or are they whole beans?"
"Well, it depends on what kind of coffee maker you have."
"So they are whole coffee beans for brewing?"
"..........."
"Or are they instant?"
"It depends on what coffee maker you have."
I decided to change my question since I am not getting any answer.
"What flavors do you have? "
"We have regular. What do you want?"
I gave up after that. I want French roast, Italian roast, Sumatra, Ethiopia, Peabody, Kona, Blue Mountain, But why bother asking me when all you have is regular???? Do I have other choices? And why do I need a coffee maker if I am using instant granules? That is , if they even carry it. It was so frustrating. It's like asking this guy if I look good in my new dress, I canNOT get a straight answer out of him.
The gelatos were ok, For the same price, I'd rather go to the stand in Venetian or Jean Phillippe Patisserie at Bellagio.
