Las Vegas Mixtape v15: “Sick of Everything” Comedy, Gambling Goods, Big Top Madness — Track #5: Patisserie Manon @Summerlin

Track #5: Patisserie Manon @Summerlin

With this tantalizing selling point—”We are known for serving authentic French pastries with American size portions”—Patisserie Manon has been getting folks in its doors since 2010 (no matter that it’s hidden in a shopping plaza on Charleston Blvd W near Boca Park).

It’s a dreamy place overflowing with baguettes, almond croissants, eclairs, macarons (16 flavors), tarts, Napoleons, and petit four cakes (the latter of which need to be ordered 72 hours in advance).

No wonder Manon is well regarded for its custom cakes: “We make our own genoise (cake sponge), whip our own whipped cream and buttercream, and fill our cakes with the freshest fruit.”

There are two roomy seating areas where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and early dinner (it closes most nights at 8pm).

I stopped in on a lazy Saturday afternoon and ordered their spot-on turkey, pesto, and cheese crêpe, served with a small side salad, and took home an excellent spinach and goat cheese quiche.

You can also build your own crêpes, with sweet or meat and cheese fillings, at Manon. For those who can’t make decisions, no problem—simply go with their Nutella and banana crepe, top it off with one of four different sauces (perhaps raspberry?), and go home happy.
