This place might actually have the most consistently good food in M Resort, and I'm only talking about the frozen dessert.
Baby Cakes is a coffee and sweets shop located between the lobby and the casino floor of M Resort. I was feeling a bit peckish in the late afternoon and decided to stop by, and the gelato actually didn't look awful. Unlike in some older business photos, the flavors weren't piled in unseemly mounds, and only the mint chip was obviously chock-full of food coloring. I got a few samples, including mango and apple cinnamon, but quickly picked out my flavors after one of the employees broke consecutive sample spoons.
I got a double scoop of gelato ($7.95), which turned out to be a pretty huge dessert. They actually portion it as a few small scoops of each flavor, which fills out the paper container more evenly. The raspberry is a bit stabilizer-heavy but ate smoothly as a result, and it did taste fine. The coffee wasn't the most richly flavored either, and it felt a bit icy in mouthfeel (not just ice crystals, but evenly throughout), but I enjoyed it.
Since I was using a $10 M Resort dining credit, I didn't feel like adding on any items. However, my cashier was extremely nice to offer me a bag of chips ($1.50) to use up the remainder of the credit. It was Lay's. I didn't taste it yet.
I've gone to this casino regularly as of late, so I'll consider hitting up Baby Cakes for a convenient frozen dessert fix. I wouldn't go out of your way for the gelato, but if you're here already, then try out a few flavors and maybe place an order. I might eventually consider looking into the various pastries, in case they're actually halfway decent, or trying a coffee; FYI, I saw an "illy" logo on a cold brew coffee machine behind the counter.
