| - With unexciting breakfast options close by, and not wanting to trudge through the labyrinth that is the Crystals at CityCenter mall without my morning dose of caffeine, grabbing a pastry here was the easiest thing to do.
Little did I realize, that one visit would leave a sweet-toothed monkey on my back, and I am now thoroughly hung up on this place. So much so, that I will even wander through the haphazardly constructed Crystals in the wee hours of the morning like an oblivious zombie, when I am staying elsewhere and need to get my patisserie fix. Jean Philippe Patisserie is so worth the trip.
My goto breakfast has been either the Nutella or Dulce de Leche brioche -- or sometimes both! -- because nothing says breakfast like puffy bread made with an astronomically high number of eggs and sticks and sticks of butter. That said, I once bought four at a time thinking I could save myself the trip in the morning, but they sadly grew a bit stale overnight, so make sure to tear into them as soon as you can.
Recently, I discovered what was billed as a Snickers cake, which much to my surprise was actually a soft, puffy mousse cake that included all of the elements of its namesake candy bar. While I was expecting something a tad more like a "cake", I was not disappointed by its soft gooey texture.
