Pierrot Gourmet at The Peninsula — high-caliber cafe in Streeterville. The look is curated without feeling cold. Staff that genuinely cares how your meal goes. Desiree Rodriguez: "The quiche was light and fluffy, with a perfectly buttery crust"

“It was probably the best egg sandwich I’ve ever had”
**⭐️⭐️ 2/5** When it comes to Chicago’s culinary scene, two categories often underwhelm: Italian food and bakeries — and *Gourmet Pierrot* fits neatly into that pattern.

Stayed overnight in the hotel and decided to have breakfast here. It is small & cozy, service was good, the croissants and pastries are really delicious.

“It was my birthday and I wanted an exceptionally special treat.”
It was my birthday and I wanted an exceptionally special treat. The "chocolate decadence" pastry was the most sinfully glorious, indulgent, rich chocolate treat I've ever had! Gold flecks and a beautiful chocolate shaving ruffle! (And I've eaten pastries in France & other European cities!). The lavender cappuccino was delicate, beautiful foam, exceptional coffee, and the most wonderful whisp of lavendar: exceptionally well balanced! It was a very exceptional birthday treat that I believe few places could offer.

“A friend recommended us Pierrot Gourmet and we were not disappointed.”
A friend recommended us Pierrot Gourmet and we were not disappointed. First of all, the service was excellent. Our waiter Raymond was friendly, smiley and polite. Not like typical American waiters who overdo it. My husband and I shared a sandwich oeuf and rotisserie chicken. It was probably the best egg sandwich I’ve ever had. The chicken was also great and it was served with mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Apparently they are famous for their French pastries and we’ll surely go back to try more dishes. We were there on Black Friday for lunch and we waited for less than five minutes to be seated. Highly recommended.

Wow!! The desserts are totally worth it. The chocolate obsession is so velvety and smooth like fabric made out of chocolate. The passion fruit flower was very potent like taking a bite of the actual fruit. The cheesecake was balanced well with the raspberries. I highly recommend this place.

“The desserts here are absolutely delightful.”
The desserts here are absolutely delightful! 😍 My biggest fear with mousse cakes is that they might be overly sweet, but to my surprise I could really taste the refreshing raspberry tartness. I was amazed — these desserts are not only delicious but also true works of art. The macaron was also fantastic: not the dry cookie you often find, but soft, delicate, and full of flavor. I highly recommend this place if you appreciate desserts that are not cloyingly sweet. Another detail that impressed me was the lovely children’s booklet they provide — it truly keeps kids engaged so parents can enjoy the experience. The atmosphere is cozy, stylish, and beautifully thought-out down to the smallest detail. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I loved everything about this place. I’ll definitely be coming back with joy! ✨

Maritozzi is so fluffy and not too sweet… I bought two and wanted to eat them on the weekends, nope, ate them all the second I got home. The fruit tart is also really good. Top quality fruit, chocolate melting to the touch.

I’ve visited literally hundreds of bakeries around France, Canada and the US, and these were the best patisserie I’ve ever had. Their dark chocolate cake is life-changing and the entrement are gorgeous and interesting flavors.

Can’t go wrong stopping for coffee and a light morning bite. This outdoor patio is lovely and the food was delightful. Staff was great and incredibly gracious. Hard to decide what to get as everything looked so good.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Pierrot Gourmet is a charming gem with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The green-themed décor is elegant and fresh, and the space is impeccably clean. We ordered the pastry basket, and every single item was absolutely delicious—flaky, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The cappuccino was smooth and perfectly crafted. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing and high-quality coffee and pastry experience.
