| - I've heard so much about this place ever since it was opened 3 weeks ago. Their good reviews were everywhere (Vegas Seven, Vegas Weekly and Yelp). People said the east side has Bread & Butter, and now, the west has Megan Romano's Chocolate and Spice Bakery (the former executive pastry chef of Aureole in Mandalay Bay). Although I live in Henderson area and a fan of Bread and Butter, I was attracted by all the rave reviews for this place.
I came here with family on Memorial day weekend. It wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be. A plus for me so I can enjoy my food and its cute deco without the crowd and noises. Bakery looks very bright and trendy with a feminine touch. They have great selections of chocolate bon bon, fluffy pastries, savory sandwiches, salads, soups, cakes, quiches, frittatas to homemade ice creams. We ordered breakfast frittatas (with oven-roasted Vegetables and parmesan pesto), brioche (with mozzarella cheese, tomato and prosciutto), sandwich (with mozzarella, tomato, roasted eggplant, basil, balsamic), banana cream pie and mocha latte. The food we ordered and desert were fresh and light. The breakfast frittatas and banana cream pie were lovely. It was the best banana cream pie I ever had!

No wonder the banana cream pie is their number one selling item! Crust tasted really fluffy and filling tasted light not too sweet. You could actually get couple pieces of fresh banana from there. It was simple and perfect. I was also impressed with their mocha latte. It was good quality stuff.
We ended our lunch with their homemade ice creams. Blackberry crumble and cookie n cream both tasted super creamy and silky. Chef was generous with fresh blackberries when making blackberry ice cream. I got 5 big blackberries in 2 scoops of ice cream!
I also got 4 chocolate bon bon to go. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nYzCr8fcJ2ci4aiB1-hB6w?select=K8KU2CzmC3AnHzXvqwCMXg#s_Qjnoobaz8s4Wk_hMMXYQ)
Each bon bon is $2. I felt it was fair price for high quality chocolate, design and pretty box comes with it. I would say peanut butter bon bon was best out of four flavors I got. (mountain berry, peanut butter, earl grey, strawberry balsamic)
I can't wait to try their cake selections when I go back next time. This bakery is definitely a local gem. They can also create custom pastries, cakes, personalized catering menus and unique cooking classes.
Hope Chef Megan can open another store soon on the east side of the town so I can pay my visit more often ;)
