| - My friend wanted to try this place out due to her love for the show (I don't watch it but don't kill me). Waiting wasn't a huge issue, although it was very crammed when we went so I thought "wow it must be that good."
You are not required to fall in line, you just take a number & wait for it to be called by the workers & they are happy to help you. What was a little annoying was that it was so crammed that everyone's basically standing around in this tiny bakery & we could barely see the other desserts since it was very hard to move. Also, my friend really wanted to come here originally just for cannoli but we didn't see any.
When we finally got our number called, my friend ordered a bunch of desserts and the ones I did get to try were the coconut macaroons, the cheesecake, and the napoleon. We did ask if there were any cannolis but he said not today so were a bit disappointed cuz I really wanted a cannoli also! Anyways, after the worker helps you, you are told to wait again to pay. They call your number for that too so again, no waiting in line. Just kinda gotta awkwardly crowd around.
Coconut macaroons (3.5/5) - they charge per pound for this. I was a little annoyed that the worker didn't know how much they charged by the pound but know the bakery is pretty new so I cut him some slack. She ordered half a pound which came out to be $11.95. I'm not a huge fan of these macaroons, but I admit they were pretty good. They were drizzled in chocolate which added a nice touch to it. But overall wasn't too impressed.
Cheesecake (3.5/5) - I'm guessing these ran about $9 something a piece since her total for two was around $19. Definitely did not taste like it was worth that much. It was topped with a chocolate looking whipped cream and a large dark chocolate covered strawberry. To me it just tasted like cheesecake. I did like the consistency though, it was very smooth. The strawberry tasted way too over-ripe & it didn't complement the dark chocolate in any way. Again, nothing too special about it.
Napoleon (3.5/5) - I have had better but this was my favorite out of the three desserts. Nice and flakey yet a little stale but I really love napoleons so I got past that. This cost $6.95 for a slice.
The packaging is cute and it's probably what also takes them a while since they are still new. Overall, the desserts weren't horrible it's just that I was wow'd by any of them. I don't think I'll be coming back here just for that bakery but if I happen to be at the Venetian, I'll consider stopping by. Hopefully there will be cannolis!
