I thought it was truly odd that Bellagio would have a cafe (Palio) located DIRECTLY across the walkway from Cafe Gelato, as they BOTH serve coffee/espresso drinks and pastries. Strange, no? Anyhow, since I had visited Cafe Gelato the previous evening, I decided to give Palio a go. I ordered a mocha -- and it was among the best I've had! And believe me, I've had my share of mochas! It was super smooth (not grainy or powdery) and had a nice creamy consistency. Service was very friendly and quick, as I received my drink in under 5 minutes. They also offer a great selection of pastries and baked goods. There is also a good number of cozy plush seats outside of the cafe along the hotel walkway (still within Bellagio). There is also some seating inside the cafe as well. read more

Palio's incredibly flaky Almond Croissant and decent coffee are even better when delivered via "room service." ("room service" = "thoughtful hubby who is a morning person") read more

Sometimes you just need a pick-me-up during all that hard work at the slot machines. Especially when you've played until 2am the night before. Palio offers great lattes and mochas, light snacks and pastries. My fave? The giant cheese danish. 6" across, loaded with cheese, sweet pastry. YUM! Could only eat half for my snack, and then had the rest for a tasty breakfast the next morning. Nice location away from the casino, just past the guest elevators. You can relax and enjoy your caffeine fix away from the general casino noise. read more

I went to this bakery last week at the Bellagio and both the blueberry muffin and the cheese Danish were the best pastries that I ever ate in my life. By dinner time I was already dreaming about next day's breakfast, however I was disappointed because when I got there was already 9:30 a.m. and the pastries I wanted were already gone, but I ended up ordering a croissant and a blackberry Danish that were also excellent. So I recommend that you go grab your breakfast early. read more

Items Selected: Almond Croissant Dulce De Leche Croissant Vanilla Glazed Cake Donut with Lime Zest Nutella Pocket Cinnamon Roll Chocolate Chip Cookie Oatmeal Cookie Bearclaw Triply benefitted by the new autumn display in the Conservatory, free passes to the Painting Women show at the Gallery of Fine Art, and the fact that I was picking up a friend from Columbus for brunch it was with nearly fourteen miles of early morning running already under foot that I entered Palio Café, the recently renovated space never to be confused with the concept of 'paleo-friendly' in any way, shape, or form. Located across the hall from the aforementioned gallery, in a flag and tile clad space featuring outdoor dining offered for those lustful for fresh air, it was just minutes after the restaurant's 6:00am opening that I entered a small queue and with a plethora of pastries gleaming behind glass a substantial order soon took shape. Obviously far less famous than celebrity-backed bakeries touting the names of Keller, Payard, Buddy, and Jean-Philippe but no less innovative in its offerings my experience at Palio began with a duo of croissants and although the explosively flaky almond rendition instantly set a new standard for The Strip it was the overstuffed Dulce de Leche version that soon stole the show - each delicate bite through arches of crisp lamination yielding a burst of creamy caramel that my early arrival found still-warm. Quickly devouring both croissants before scaling back to a "some for now/some for later" approach to the rest it was in the doughnut and cinnamon roll that I next partook and although both were nicely made, the former sporting a pleasant looseness to the crumb beneath light notes of citrus, neither were 'must orders' compared to what followed - a toasty gold pocket chock-a-block full of hazelnut spread that I'd strongly advise sitting down to enjoy as a grab-and-go approach is almost assured to end in a trip to the laundry for shirt, pants, or both. At this point turning to more portable items as I slowly wandered the tourist-free serenity of Sin City's early morning hours it was next in a bearclaw that I indulged and although nicely textured I personally found the results far too sweet, the lacquer of glaze entirely overwhelming sparse nut filling and thus leaving me to instead focus on a duo of cookies, the Chocolate Chip a textbook rendition with crisp edges surrounding a soft center but the Oatmeal Raisin far better with buttery notes playing off cinnamon and softly set oats as a mountain of golden raisins added just enough sweetness to taste equally breakfast and dessert. Undoubtedly underrated due to the lack of celebrity signage and a location slightly off the beaten path, suffice it to say that Palio Café is executing on just as high a level as Bouchon, Payard, and even Bellagio's own Jean Philippe. While some may say that prices are high, at $4.25 the croissants are no more expensive than the inferior versions at other on-strip vendors while other options actually represent a bargain compared to its peers, both here in Las Vegas and across the nation. read more

Palio had some very high highs and then some mediocres as well. The prices were a bit high, but the coffee was good, so I didn't feel bad about that. The chocolate croissant was boring and very average. The dulce de leche croissant was HUGE and delicious. The caramel was oozing out all over. It was messy and awesome and I would go back just for that. So go here, get the croissant and share it with someone because it is way too big for one person. read more

I love this place! I've been coming here almost every time I go to Vegas and ever since Bellagio opened. They have the BEST Bear Claw here and the only food item I order from here. It's really buttery and the texture is flaky. So good! Even though it's a bit pricey, I think it's worth it. I also tried their Iced Coffees and hot coffees. Their coffees are good and they're strong but it goes well with the Bear Claw. Service is good. You can use your mLife card to get points here. There's a lot of seating inside and some seating outside. Overall, love this place and will definitely come back here again. read more

Mary Berry would be so proud of this puff pastry!! Best bear claw I've ever had. Wish I could eat it every day. Must go here if you love baked goods. read more

Small coffee shop and pastry place near the pool at Bellagio. We ate here for a quick lunch. The room is very crowded, if over half of the tables are full, it's difficult to get around without hitting a stranger. They serve pastries, salads, and preformed sandwiches. I should have been warned by the fact they are pre-wrapped, but I got the tuna salad. The bread was thick, but nearing stale. Also, despite its thickness, it didn't hold the tuna salad well in places. The salad itself was common mayo based tuna salad. Good enough. But, the bread ruined the sandwich for me. And, chips are $3.50, so that didn't help my mood. The wife had the Bellagio chicken pie. This is a hot pie made with veggies in the pie. It was solid, and it's available elsewhere on the property. Good, flaky crust and great flavor. The slice was substantial as well. If you need something quick on your way to or from the pool, Palio will get the job done. But, don't expect to be blown away if you are eating a full meal. read more

I'm mad. Really, really mad! You see-I have been coming to Palio since it opened. I came here when most guests would eat breakfast in the usual hotel restaurants but I found this hidden gem and have loved everything about it as you can see from my prior review. They have now added outdoor seating and some terrific newer dishes. The word is out and now everyone seems to flock here in the mornings. The lines do move but they are longer and seating can be tough during peak times. The food and staff are still top notch and I literally dine here every morning I'm in Vegas. Now the secret is out, so just leave me alone and let me enjoy my wonderful bold coffee, smoked salmon platter and Nutella croissant. I'm mad. Really, really mad! read more

Best desserts in the entire world! The pastry chef is world renowned and all of the choices are sure to please. Don't be fooled by the larger selection at the other hotels (like Paris)... they have to offer more choices because none of them match up to Palio's. If you go to vegas, I'm sure you'll want to stop by this place multiple times once you try it! read more

Located in Belagio towards the pools and conference rooms. The European bakery serves breakfast and lunch. This cafe offers are large variety of sweet and savory cafe choices, juice, and European coffee, Quiche, Croissant, Brioche, bagels, coffee, lattes, and mochas. Third visit to Paleo. Remodeled from our first trip. Between the visits to dates we have tried the Brioche, Quiche Loraine, Dolce de Leche Croissant, Chocolate Croissant, Spanish Mocha, Coffee and Latte. The brioche with ham or bacon, egg, and butter was a good breakfast item. Brioche is like a savory muffin. Light, soft, and tender were the brioches. Delicious. The bacon was the better of choices. Similar to the brioche was the quiche which comes in vegetable or ham Loraine. We ordered Quiche Loraine. It was a little heavier than the brioche but not lost in the flavor. Meat was a bit salty but not bad. Soft in hold. Not bad at all. The croissants were buttery light and flaky. Sweet were the dolce de Leche and chocolate. Not too sweet but a fair balance of the filling to pastry. Scrumptious and so good. Could eat ten of any of these and not feel guilty. Tried the coffee, lattes, and the Spanish mocha. Made European style. Fresh and bold. Definitely eye opener or a good day starter. No shortage of energy after drinking these. Best drink was the Spanish mocha. Probably one of the best coffee or espresso drinks I have ever had. The Spanish mocha was sweet, balanced, fresh and hot. This place gets busy and the line moves quickly. A little pricey for menu but competitive with other cafés and coffee bistros in the area. Staff is friendly and generally efficient. Generally stocked pastry case. Seating can get full inside or out at the patio area outside which was a nice added area in the last year. Overall this is one of the best breakfasts spots I have found in Las Vegas. Menu items are rightly portioned, balanced flavors, and outrageously delicious. Five stars for the flavor and service experienced thus far. Can't lower a rating if seating gets full. People want to relax sometimes and this is a good place to do so. Keep up the work. I will be back to try more of the menu. read more

Why do so many reviews discuss whether or not Palio is overpriced? Because two things are simultaneously true: 1.Its price is at the lower end of cost at the Bellagio; 2.For the quality of what you get, it's some of the most over-inflated food in Vegas. The food isn't made in the Palio. It's made in a kitchen that distributes to other MGM restaurants. The pastries are good but literally interchangeable with most pastries in the Bellagio because they come from the same kitchen. Sandwiches are below Subway quality, given above Subway prices, and presented with the hopes that you'll be caught up in the Vegas mythos and miss the fact that you just ate fast food that a chef put together hours before you woke up. The employees are clearly not trained to be baristas. Espresso-based drinks and spiked coffee is some of the worst in the strip for some of the highest prices. The outside porch has a gorgeous view of the pool. If you bought a croissant, a simple cup of coffee, and sat outside you could have a nice breakfast. Anything beyond that, and you'll wind up seriously disappointed. read more

This is a perfect spot for a European breakfast treat and latte. The atmosphere is delightful. I enjoyed the patio while working...a hidden oasis. It was recommended by a hotel staffer and I'm so glad it was. Hidden gem...I returned each morning after my initial visit. Frittata, breakfast brioche, and raspberry pastry (devilishly heavenly) read more

A great dulce de leche croissant! If you are at the Bellagio looking for a good pastry, stop by here and get a croissant. It won't disappoint :) read more

Delicious Caprese sandwich unlike any sandwich ve had before. It has pesto, heirloom tomatoes , 2 different cheeses and you can request it hot. Which I prefer. read more

I've been to Palio more times than I can count, and I absolutely love it. It's a really cute, quiet coffee shop and cafe near the Bellagio pool entrance, decorated in a charming Italian accents. If it weren't Vegas (where there are a million other things I want to do) I'd be happy to come sit here and leisurely read the newspaper or a book. Instead I always drop in for a double espresso macchiato served in a perfect little cup and then make my way--rejuvenated--out into the exciting and noisy Vegas din. They serve pastries from Jean Philippe Patisserie, and so if you choose anything from the case, you know it's going to be good. Friendly service, and a perfect drink every time. I wish I had one of these in my home town! read more

What's not to like??... it's a little pricey... but nowhere NEAR as pricey as getting the same thing delivered to you room. They opened at six sharp, all smiles, good quality muffins and fruit.

Salmon bagel, fruit plate and an americano. Sitting on outside balcony overlooking the Bellagio pool. Perfect Vegas breakfast or lunch. Love this place. read more

Palio - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Before there were a lot of independent coffeehouses in Las Vegas (i.e., 7 years ago or so), places like Palio were the only refuge from Starbucks or other corporate coffee chains. What makes Palio interesting still today is that yes, it's in the Bellagio and so it's a Strip property, but it still manages to pull off great coffee and pastries, has a pretty cool European vibe and it's one place where service has always been good even though probably 95% of its guests are one-time visitors and not often very well-behaved. The theme is Italian (Renaissance) and so the decor, pastries, gelato and of course coffee offerings all reflect that. Bold espresso, perfectly-foamed cappuccino and strong drip brews never disappoint and are served in a style that reminds you of Europe (until you turn around and bump into some wayward, lone tourist who's plopped itself down and claimed a 4-seat table without ordering anything, but I digress...) Seriously, the coffee's great and service is well-done. This place is also a pretty good date spot - try the eclairs, Napoleons or millefeuille along with that latte macchiato! - as long as you make sure not to go during high-traffic times. If you can snag one of the few tables near the windows, you can get a view of the Bellagio pool area with its trees and cabanas. 3 stars overall, because it's a little cramped and when it's really busy, many tourists act über-entitled, pushing in front of you or blocking out table space or hovering around the creamer/sugar area for no reason. Plus, the coffee and pastries are a bit expensive and hard to justify at the price...until you remember you are on the Strip. Besides, it's well situated near the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, not on the main casino floor and somewhere that you can easily grab a coffee and for a few moments forget where you are. And unlike some other places on the Strip, what brings you back to reality is not the often-typical "OK, whatever" service ethic, but tourist behavior. read more

Excellent food! I have to take away 2 stars due to how over priced it is and how slowly the line moved. (That's the S.O.P. for everything to do with the Bellagio) We had a few of their breakfast sandwiches and the Lachs bagel. All excellent. The coffee was very good too. If you are out at the pool or don't want to leave the hotel to get some quick grub this is probably your cheapest option (but still not cheap) As we will never return to the Bellagio we will likely never visit Palio again. read more

I ordered the banana nut muffin from the dessert display case. It wasn't the best but we were able to sit outside while eating our breakfast. read more

We were on the prowl for a nice dessert to top off our Vegas adventure, and the food on display here caught our eye. A little bit of the exquisite, but served in an unexpecting little coffee shop with a European vibe with a nice view of the Bellagio pool. The place fit the bill overall. We ended up getting a small fruit tart here, elaborately designed which is why it caught our eye. The service was friendly and that little tart? Delicious. The vibe was nice and quite, and might have made a good twist to those looking for some peace after venturing on the strip. Overall, enjoyable and a place we might try again for a different dessert in the future. read more

I ordered the "chicken pie" off the menu board. What I got was a wedge of bread/pastry casing filled with sauteed slices of portobello mushroom, red bell pepper, tiny mushrooms, spinach & 1/8 inch slice of dried out chicken breast. It was horrible. Tasted like mushroom spinach on cardboard. Yuck. Husband had ok small quiche Lorraine. Cute setting but ASK a lit if questions before you order. lesson learned. read more

Every single day of your stay at Bellagio should be started with an iced Bailey's coffee and cinnamon roll on the back patio overlooking the gorgeous pools. The ladies working there were wonderful, the coffee delicious, and the cinnamon roll is the perfect size to share. My daughter loved the blueberry muffins and berry bowls, too. Also, do not be confused it is NOT a paleo-diet-friendly place. I found it that it's actually pronounce "Pah-li-o". Oops. Don't care, my diet went out the window for Vegas anyway! :) read more

Had the fruit plate (delicious and fresh). Almond croissant hubby stated was "exceptional". Which is a rare compliment. He also had the prosciutto breakfast sandwich which was good. Preferred this breakfast to the bellagio buffet honestly. read more

Ham and cheese was about as bland as can be. Even with honey mustard it tasted like it was from Schnucks. The chicken breast salad was super lacking in every facet. Only reason this isn't a 1 or 2 star review is the staff. They were awesome little old ladies, and one even went to another shop to procure some mustard for me. read more

Similar to other Vegas cafés, Palio's food and drinks are overpriced; nonetheless, the decor is definitely one step above the rest of the cafés. I adore the decorations on the walls and ceilings - the colorful British tea plates complement well with the wooden chairs and tables. The drinks selection is limited compared to Starbucks. Neither chai tea nor green tea is available. The mocha is decent, but it is too bitter for me. Palio is a great place to rest and chat for friends. However, Yelpers, please do not have high expectations on the food and drinks. read more

this place used to be so much better! there was no selection of nutella croissant or almond, where r they other fancy pastries. I come to the bellagio to have decadence and feel like italian royalty. instead my 7$ cappuchino sereved in a to go cup, where as before it came in a beautiful clay coffee cup with saucer. they also used to serve illy coffee now it is no name brand. the service was meh, i wasnt offered milk options. and the place was empty. i wasnt sure if it was because its midday or because people have caught on. also there was no option for lox plate, and the salads looked liked theyd been sitting for a minute. while the sandwhich i got was good, still not the same or worth the price or time. read more

Admittedly I always start craving their pastries a week before I get in to Vegas. When we stayed at other hotels, we'd make a trip here for breakfast. The last time round, we stayed at the Bellagio and the best part of my mornings were indulging in my favorite almond croissant and pain aux raisin. Fat (and happy) girl in me, yep. read more

Cute place especially with outdoor seating option overlooking the pool but really pricey. Decent cappuccino but pricey

The croissants here are top notch. They are flaky, buttery and airy, the way a true croissant should be. This reason alone earned the extra star to a full 4-stars as you do pay dearly for it since your at the Bellagio. If I was on an expense account, I may have given this place a full 5 because the service is solid to but alas, it came out of my pocket. The nutella stuffed pastry thingy though was quite disappointing though. I know... It's nutella but the overall execution of it just wasn't that great. read more
