| - I went twice this week (once for breakfast, once for lunch) just to confirm what I thought after my first visit. There are few words to really grasp how great this place is. Sublime. It is sublime. Baguette Cafe is the definition of 5 stars. It is the pinnacle of what such a place should be. I went in hoping for a decent cup of coffee and my expectations were happily surpassed.
For breakfast, I had the traditional quiche lorraine and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was superb. To add sugar or anything else to it would be a crime. The quiche was a fantastic balance of flavor with a crisp, light crust on the bottom. My boyfriend had the breakfast sandwich, tea, and juice. His only issue was wishing the size of his tea was switched with the size of his juice. The tea was tropical green tea and it was very tasty as well.
For lunch, I had the Jerusalem artichoke soup, a blueberry muffin, and another cappuccino. My feelings on the cappuccino are clear. The soup was up to par with the rest of the food I had experienced. The soup was satiny and fresh. A spoonful delicately coated my mouth with a creamy deliciousness. The muffin was tender and sweet while not crumbly or overpowering. There was no shortage of blueberries either which is often a problem I experience with muffins. The cup of soup, muffin, and drink proved to be quite a satisfying lunch.
I haven't even gotten to Olivier. He's the proprietor of the establishment and greets every customer with a warm, sincerity that I wish was seen at every business. During breakfast, he knew the name and order of every customer who came in. He was attentive without being intrusive and it's clear he takes great pride in every detail of his business.
At lunch, every single person sitting around me and those who walked in said it was one of, if not THE most fantastic place they had ever eaten. One gentleman said it was the best food in Vegas and I might be inclined to agree. You won't run across this place on the street though. It's at the back of a business complex, but it is worth the trip from wherever you live. The only bummer, they are only open 7-5, M-F. I did overhear Olivier saying they might try a Saturday if they get a solid enough business outside the employees of the surrounding buildings.
This is not a fast food place even though you get your food pretty fast. It's as though it exists outside regular time. When I eat there, I savor every bite and it reminds me to take time out for myself to appreciate the world around me. Seriously, this place is amazing. GO. NOW.
