If you want to have coffee in the morning after you wake up in the Aria Hotel, you have a few choices, one of them is the Jean Philippe Patisserie in the lobby downstairs. Coffee typically costs $4-$5 and is generally just OK in my book (I drink coffee black); it tasted like generic stuff you get at a truck stop. I would have thought the coffee would be top-notch given their fancy desserts behind glass.
The dessert presentation was FANTABULOUS. Too bad it tasted just...OK. My friend chose some kind of raspberry pastry and it was flaky and good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Prior to the raspberry pastry, it was a breakfast crepe with berries which tasted just....OK. Sour and a bit overpriced. The following day, we had a vegetarian crepe that cost $11 that we split. It was about one mouthful for the each of us. Maybe one egg went into making it.
The souveniers are $$$$$. A tube of jordan almonds cost about $20 and was less than a handful. I wanted to buy something for my son, but it was too costly so I waited til I got to the airport.
This would be a good place to come if you are a photography student or want to take pics of fancy pastries and cakes, otherwise, get your coffee from any fast food joint and a pastry from Krispy Kreme.
