| - We were wandering around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to find this place. Do you ever ask for directions, say yes and thank you, then a few minutes later, forget what that person just said? If you're in a huge casino with lots of shiny lights, loud noises, and lots of distractions, hey it happens.
So we finally find this tiny to-go bakery behind the escalators. I thought it was more of a sit-down cafe type of bakery. We peer into the glass case and everything looked so good. Then I saw the prices, especially for their french baguette sandwiches which looked like a skinnier version of Lee's sandwiches. It was $9.
We ended up getting a croissant and two macarons, all of which were huge in size at over $3 each. I know it's not a large sampling of what the bakery has to offer, but everything tasted just okay. For some reason, I thought the croissant would taste better than the ones from Costco (gasp!).
The macarons remind me of giant cookies, like the ones the Cookie Monster eats holding it in one hand. They were light, semi-chewy, and not overly sweet. I can't quite describe it, but the smaller sized macarons we had at Miette Patisserie in the SF Ferry Bldg tasted like it had more depth in flavors, if that's at all possible in a non-savory dessert pastry.
