| - I've been able to visit Manan Bakery twice now, and I feel it's a pretty decent bakery if you're looking for sweets in Vegas. They specialize in wedding cakes, but their storefront has a ton of baked goods that you can peruse. I believe they are an Armenian bakery and have items such as bird's milk roll, baklava, and napoleon cake.
I was actually browsing through Yelp to try to find macarons. Even though Manan does sell macarons, I would suggest going to Patisserie Manon for macarons and coming here for cakes, etc. They're located on Flamingo Road with a parking lot out front. Workers are not the friendliest, and can make you feel like you are wasting their time as you decide what you want to order.
They have a ton of individual baked good items for sale - most were pretty decent.
Macaron: I tried their salted caramel macaron, and for the price of $1.79, I felt like it was pretty good. Flavor was on-point, but nothing too special about it. I ended up forgoing the macarons on my second visit and trying out new items instead.
Napoleon (crispy): They have a variety of napoleon cakes here, but I opted to try their crispy version. I liked that it was super crispy and not too sweet, but it was a tad bit dry; however, I could taste the custard and layers of flakiness in that cake - which I really enjoyed. At about $4, I thought it was a decent price to pay.
Heaven roll: For $3.79, I thought this was a relatively decent price, but I wasn't a fan of the heaven roll at all. Out of all the desserts that we tried, this was the biggest let-down because of how dry it was. There wasn't much flavor and each bite just tasted stale.
Bird's milk cake: $3.49 - after Karina's, it's hard to find another place that can compare. And unfortunately Manan's couldn't either. The cake was definitely sweet, but it didn't melt in my mouth - instead, it also tasted a bit stale. Don't think I'd try this again.
Baklava: The best thing that night was the baklava - they sell this by the pound, but I only opted for one piece at $2.99/each. A great deal for how amazing this tasted. I haven't had good baklava since my friend ordered some from back home and had it delivered to New Mexico. This was amazing - crispy, tasty, fluffy - everything you could want in a baklava. It was hard not to scarf down the entire thing.
If you check in on Yelp, you also get a complimentary cookie and coffee. She said the cookie was nothing too special - tasty and simple.
tl;dr - Some desserts were a miss, but I did find some good baklava from here, which was a treat. If I'm in the area, I think I will definitely return to get some more baklava - I'll pass on everything else.
