La Pâtisserie des Rêves (the patisserie of dreams) is not your ordinary pastry shop. Unlike most pastry shops that keep the goodies behind a counter, pastry chef extraordinaire, Philippe Conticini displays his creations throughout the entire space, adding to the gallery-like ambiance.

A central island showcases a series of temperature-controlled glass domes containing demo desserts that, when chosen for purchase, come fresh from the back kitchen.
