| - By the time I stopped at this branch of the Jean Philippe Patisserie, I had already visited the one at the Aria thrice in one trip.
___________________________________
DATE/TIME: Saturday, March 30, 2013 // 6:15pm
PRICE: +/- $10/crepe, $4/donut.
VALUE: A bit pricey, which increases expectations a bit.
AMBIANCE: This branch is somewhat smaller than the one at the Aria, and due to it's circular set-up, can be a little confusing. For crepes, you get in the line to the left hand side when facing the store, order your crepes, then wait for your name to be called out. Seating is not directly within the Jean Philippe and looks a bit like somewhat outdated Bellagio-themed random tables and chairs, unlike the modern set-up at the Aria location. There is, in fact, a chocolate fountain.
SERVICE: A bit on the slow side.
CHANCE OF RETURNING: 40% (I prefer Aria's)

:::: [ THE FOOD ] ::::
* BANANA FOSTER CREPE w/NUTELLA - $8.95 + $2.00 = $10.95

- [3.5/5 - After having the crepes at Bacchanal the day before, the hub and I were craving them again. Unfortunately, while this one clearly had more calories and was very tasty, it was just not *as* good, surprisingly. The banana foster itself was so runny that it made the crepes soggy, and had a rather strong flavor.]
* VANILLA SOUFFLE CREPE w/NUTELLA - $9.95

- [3.5/5 - Tasty. The vanilla cream was not too sweet. We opted to pair it with Nutella, which we found added a perfect amount of sweetness to the crepe.]
* NUTELLA DONUT - $4.00

- [4/5 - We were looking for the Nutella brioche, but they had sold out by 6pm on a Saturday afternoon. The Nutella donut was really good, with a nice ratio of Nutella to dough.]
