| - Came here for breakfast after feeling screwed the day before paying almost $20 for 3 very mediocre MINI pastries from the Cosmo room service.
I had pretty low expectation looking at the overall 3-star ratings here on Yelp. Got the Panettone, chocolate croissant, and plain croissant (told you I'm a tubby at heart). Also got the Vanilla Latte with Almond milk and was pretty excited about this because I'm lactose intolerant and Almond milk tastes better than soy.
Got my latte, drank it, and was disappointed right away. Not enough vanilla (I asked for more), and just watery. The beans are probably on the "greener" side, because even though the latte didn't taste like much/"watery", it had a LOT of caffeine in it. I would give a 1-2 star for the latte experience.
The pastries, however, was BOMB. I was very surprised, especially considering my standards for croissants are pretty high, always comparing with the best croissants I had in Paris. Va Bene makes croissants truly like the French. Perfectly flaky on the outside, super yummy buttery and moist on the inside.
Highly recommend their plain and chocolate croissant here for breakfast.
