As an incorrigible sugar addict, you'd think I'd automatically give this patisserie five stars, but I found their goodies looked better than they tasted. I find it difficult to forgive & forget when a dedicated dessert spot disappoints me, so I won't be giving Jean Phillipe another chance.
- hot chocolate: dark chocolate flavor was overpowering. Not smooth & creamy, more like melted dark chocolate. Too much of a good thing.
- chocolate croissant: Not enough chocolate. I've had better from no-name bakeries.
- chocolate-dipped rice Krispy treats: though the shiny, sexy chocolate glistened beautifully, the flavor was dull & chalky.
Everything was so, so average. I expected more from a place where chocolate fountains flow freely.
