You’ve got that right!
You’re talking about the Jean Phillippe Patisserie. I’m there now.
They recently renamed this the “Aria Patisserie”, no longer affiliated with Jean Phillippe. I found a very nice girl who was willing to dig up a few (unauthorized) Jean Phillippe-branded napkins for me (souveniers). I’d recognized her from several past visits. You’re right, it’s one of the country’s best.

I love croissants for Sunday breakfast. Those above look spectacular. Costco has good ones - we buy them there. BTW did you ever see the PBS series “I’ll Have What Phil’s Having”? He visits Paris with its boulangeries and patisseries - the croissants there were amazing.

I haven’t seen that show, perhaps I’ll check it out sometime. The croissants at the Jean Phillippe Patisserie are very good, there’s a lot of butter in that recipe, they don’t shortcut or substitute for quality or for health reasons. Which means … delicious.
You can’t. All you can do is to point in a general direction and say “I’ll take one of those, and one of those and a few of those”. They also have excellent coffee, espresso and other beverage offerings.
Yeah that’s it! Why do you have to rub it in so much? Last time I was there gosh at least 6 mos ago. There’s always a long line and I don’t care. Bring something back for me.
Best I’ve ever had was from the Aria bakery. Costco croissants are huge, big enough to make a sandwich with.
We slice them in half and toast them inside a toaster-oven for 3 minutes. We put a poached egg on top of one of the slices. On the other slice we add cream cheese with strawberry jam. Eat each half separately since the crosissants are that big. First the egg slice then the jam one. Good breakfast. Sometimes we make Bearnaise sauce to pour over the poached egg croissant.
With a good cup of coffee…

Saved one for you. A Raspberry, Chocolate Torte’ Cheesecake mini, and if you can get this much pleasure for just nine bucks you are in the right place.
Brought this back to my room. They give you real silverware with this, housekeeping picks it up in the morning. Evidently, to use plastic fork with pastry of this magnitude would be some kind of insult. This equivocates to about four or five bites.

That sounds great!

That is decadent. Anything they make with chocolate in it is way rich and strong especially the torte. Guess that’s why they taste so good.

What I want to know is if the Tablo is still in the airport Best Buy kiosk.
I want to know if it’s now stocking the Quad.
