Jean Philippe Patisserie is such an exquisite store that a sweets lover cannot help but stop in his or her track and go in and see what wonders await.
I am a sweets lover and was drawn by their beautiful chocolate creations. Unfortunately, this stop occurred during an afternoon stroll along the Strip. I so wanted to get a box of chocolates, but I was practical enough to know that the desserts will not have a chance against the desert. I will be back next time I am in town and satisfy my want for those chocolates.
With that in mind, this review is really just for the gelato. Perhaps after the visual treat, my expectations were very high, but I found their gelato to be just alright. The dulce de leche was too sweet, and almost cloying. The liquor-soaked pastry in the tiramisu would have made it an instant winner had the gelato it came with been able to hold its own, but it did not.
I will go back to try the other exquisite things I saw in the shelves.
