The warm sausage egg & cheese croissant was excellent with a double espresso and a cinnamon dolce latte for my wife.

Everything in the window looks great, and the pastries in the case are very tempting, but a few items really seem like they would benefit from being warmed up before serving. The breakfast sandwiches for sure need to be heated up, because ours were cold and the bread was too doughy since it wasn't even toasted. The sandwiches in general feel like they would be much better with a quick heat or light bake to bring them to the next level. The cinnamon roll definitely needed to be warmed up, especially for the price, and while the cannoli tasted good, it lost some of that crisp shell texture once you bit into it. The ice cream area looks amazing though, and that will definitely be my next try.

The service was great! There was a sweet lady at the register and we asked about the various cakes that were in the refrigerated case, to which she replied that she baked them. We chose the lemon and vanilla coconut slices. The coconut cake was covered toasted coconut and the layers contained a pineapple filling. The layers were moist and the cake amazing! The lemon cake was not a slice, but a two layer round with lemon cake and filling topped with a lemon mousse. That was amazing as well. They had an assortment of other cakes, cookies, other pastries and bread items. All in all a great place to stop by for a sweet treat while in Atlantic City.

Touted at the world's first dessert restaurant, Brulee is located in the Tropicana Casino and…read moreResort in Atlantic City, NJ. It's a nice concept, but certainly doesn't live up to the hype. Ever since I saw a piece on The Food Network about Brulee (actually, the executive chef of the restaurant has his own show on the network called "Sugar Rush"), I had wanted to give this place a try. I mean, who wouldn't want to have a three-course dessert? Well, after having gone just once, I'm certainly not going back. After spending $28 (not including a "sharing fee" of around $10) on a Chocolate-Raspberry Jubilation and $15 on a Metropolitan that took the bartender thirty minutes to make*, and dealing with the ridiculously awful service, I was left with a bitter (not cholocate) taste in my mouth. Even the decor, designed by New Yorker Steve Lewis, was a let down. I mean the ambience was nice and all, but the tables, chairs, and even the walls were marked up and scratched -- it was like a bunch of preschoolers were let loose upon the place. If you're at the Tropicana and you feel like having dessert, go to Cuba Libre, or Ri Ra, even...They're a lot less expensive, with better service and better food. But if you have all the time in the world and don't care how much you spend, I guess you could indulge in Brulee's Brownie Extraordinaire which will only run you a cool $1,000! (*When my drink did eventually arrive, after having already eaten the "first course", it was actually quite good -- and it's the only reason this place received a two-star rating.)

There are several lunch options at reasonable prices and I chose the TUNA SPECIAL, which gave me tuna two ways, miso soup, and a salad. Remember my comment about the temperature? Well the Miso soup was not hot enough to warm my belly and it needed to be stirred but it had a good flavor. It was a classic lettuce salad but the dressing was a mound of flavoring rather than a liquid dressing. It was different but tasty and I appreciated my salad not being drenched in a watery substance. I am a bit of a picky roll conneisseur. It is sushi after all ... presentation matters including knife cuts. My lunch was placed in front of me with two rolls falling apart before a chop stick touched them. The tuna was fresh. The wait staff checked on me while I ate so that was a plus too!!

Perhaps it had the same ambiance when I did my prior review but today I noticed that it's not a pleasant eating experience if cardboard boxes filled with sushi trays and food containers are your dining neighbors. The lunch special comes with a "salad" and ginger dressing. The green leaves were limited yet cold and crisp but the dressing when added to the "salad" left a watery pool once the few lettuce leaves were consumed. My two rolls were a bit "chewy" and far from the best I have enjoyed. The soy sauce presented in another plastic cup (Sushi Town offers everything but the chopsticks in plastic.) was grainy and dreadful. Why not have a name brand bottle of soy out on each of your two tables? As I left I picked up my plastic water bottle ....smiled at the very nice people who run the place ... forgetting to say goodbye to my cardboard lunchtime neighbors.
