Located inside of the beautiful Bellagio Hotel, Jean Philippe Patisserie is a small bakery/ gelato bar/ coffee & tea house/ sandwich shop. Jean attracts lots of visitors because of its floor to ceiling, tri-chocolate fountain. It's really a sight to behold. All of their delicious looking pastries, cakes, tarts, cookies, cupcakes, gelato and sandwiches are on display for all to see.
I came here specifically because of my buddy, Michelle "Addicted 2 Key Lime Pie" T. I wanted to try their Key Lime Tart so I could let her know how it stacked up to others we've tried. I also wanted to try their Crème Brulee gelato she raved about in her review. Well, I went to Jean two times and sadly, they didn't offer the Crème Brulee gelato on either of my visits. I was bummed, but that didn't stop me from trying lots of there other tasty items. Here is what I tried;
Key Lime Tart (5 star ) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/H8qpFitIesth86zqR4cwYg?select=uRjFKrymgjFdvSpVWGqh0g
Ro e Macaron (4 star ) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/H8qpFitIesth86zqR4cwYg?select=Okeoz6p_hXzhQNJkp7UEPw

Whi e & Milk Chocolate Covered Strawberries (5 star ) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/H8qpFitIesth86zqR4cwYg?select=qcyB1tF3R-Lf8dO3mIVzdQ
Nutel a Brioche (4 star ) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/H8qpFitIesth86zqR4cwYg?select=XEVABDOk1fHwdNozXC-P w
As you can tell by what I rated each item individually, I loved everything I ate at Jean. My faves were the Key Lime and the coconut gelato. The Key Lime had an incredible, flaky crust and the key lime filling was both sweet and tangy. The coconut gelato was phenomenal, as was the white chocolate dipped waffle cone it was served on. The gelato was loaded with real coconut shavings.
Prices at Jean were not as high as I thought they would have been seeing that it's in the Bellagio, which was a nice surprise. The folks who work here are all friendly and the long line to get your treats moves quickly.
If you're in Vegas and looking for some great pastries and gelato, check out Jean.
Yo, Michelle, you better get to Vegas ASAP and get their Key Lime!
