Seriously. Top-notch quality macarons for $1.10 each? Patisserie Manon's macarons were definitely worth my visit here! While there are lots of other pastries, baked goods, and delectable looking cakes in the front of the store, my eyes were set on the colorful macarons behind the glass display that greets you the moment you walk into the store. These macarons are a little differently shaped than the ones I am used to (more flat and cookie like) - these are strange puffed up shells making them longer and less wide than I am used to. The color of the shells also look a little artificial because they are so bright. BUT, they were amazing.
I bought eight macarons, trying to test all the different flavors. Overall, I felt that the macarons had a really puffy texture upon first bite, but then became chewy afterwards, making the perfect combination of shell and filling to give you that great macaron enjoyment.
My favorite flavors were: Rose - not too heavy. It contained the perfect flowery taste to delight my tastebuds. And the shells were pink and white!
Salted Caramel - I loved the flavor of the caramel! Not too sticky, but had a good consistency that worked really well with the shells.
I also really liked lemon and strawberry. They didn't taste extraordinary, but they had very good taste. The strawberry even had bits of real strawberry inside of the filling.
Flavors that were a-ok: Ginger - Interesting flavor, but not my cup of tea. I love ginger candy, but I thought the taste was a little weird for a macaron. It was also really sticky.
Mango - It was interesting, but a bit too artificial for my liking.
Pistachio - I thought the pistachio had good almond flavor in the shell, and the filling was also decent. I'm not a big fan of pistachio macarons, but these were okay.
Mocha - It wasn't too strong on the mocha taste, but I liked it. Not memorable, but something I would try again!
When I was buying the macarons, they informed me that they had salted caramel and mango in the back. I don't know if they would have told me this if I hadn't asked them about the flavors, but as I am a big salted caramel macaron fan, I would definitely have been bummed out if I missed out on this flavor!
If I lived in Vegas, I would definitely be coming by a few times a month to pick up macarons! And their cakes! They were gorgeous and very elaborate (but expensive!)!
Patisserie Manon is located in a quiet plaza next to the Whole Foods market plaza. We weren't sure at first where it was, but we saw a man standing outside with a sign. I also saw another location for this place down the street. I guess they have two storefronts? They have lots of seating inside the restaurant, and I believe a café where you can order drinks and sandwiches further inside the store.
I definitely will be coming back when...
Read moreEverything was great here. We ordered a tiramisu latte regular size which I'm glad we did because regular size was pretty large Don't know what the bigger size was but regular size was good enough and they topped it off with some lady fingers on top was very good flavored coffee. We also ordered breakfast sandwiches they were pretty good bread was nice and soft and fresh and the little side salad that came with it was a good balance to it honestly wanted a little bit more salad cuz it was really good. Then we also ordered a Dubai crepe It was very large for one crate you could share this with two other people and we added the strawberries It was very good not disappointed at all. We also got the Dubai moose cake It wasn't bad it was just too much chocolate for us might have not help that we order too much Dubai different items lol It was still good it was just one bite was enough for me. We also took home they're delicious bread pudding It was a good portion it could feed four people with the single order bread pudding and give you or even more depending on how much a person eats. And then we also took home their Dubai strawberry cup which was just basically the Dubai crepe without the crepe just all the stuffing that was in the crape to go. Overall portion size of all the food was good for the price especially and I would gladly come back again to try more different items that I didn't get to try the first time and service was great You order your food and they bring it to your table I would recommend to anybody especially if you're one of those people that Love Dubai chocolate they got different types of Dubai chocolate items...
Read moreMy friend and I visited this place on a whim on Sunday, September 4th. I ordered a cinnamon roll and a breakfast crepe. With tip it was around $30. When I first checked the pastries to see what was available, I noticed the tray of cinnamon rolls had two little placard stands - one that said "cinnamon roll" and the other said "raisin roll". I made sure to tell the woman taking my order that I wanted a cinnamon roll. My friend confirmed later she had absolutely clearly heard me say "cinnamon roll".
When I received my pastry along with my breakfast crepe, I did not notice that the one I received had raisins until after I had taken a bit (I thought they were almonds). I immediately went to the counter and told the woman who took my order that I had ordered a cinnamon roll, but received a raisin roll. She told me she heard me say "raisin roll". I advised I said cinnamon roll and that what I received was not what I ordered. She said "we only have raisin rolls today". I explained that the tray with the cinnamon rolls had two placards, one saying cinnamon roll and one saying raisin roll. She then said "Oh!" and then took the sign down. When I asked if I could get something else, she said yes, and that I would be rung up at the register. I was asked to pay for the new replacement pastry of my choice, when I received an item that was not what I had originally ordered.
The breakfast crepe came with a simple salad that left something to be desired. The pastries I had were not warmed up prior to serving.
I can't say I'd readily go back. Customer service was lacking aside from the friendly young man who brought...
