Excellent breakfast dishes. The pastries are very fresh (the Pecan Roll is amazing!). Also, the breakfast flatbread is a must (bacon, scrambled eggs, tomatoes, cheese--all on a thin, crispy flatbread)

The shells of the macarons are satin smooth and beautifully colored. Most have a great texture. The standout flavors include the choco-coconut, which tastes like a Samoa, and the mint.

The only place in Chicago with authentic canele de Bordeaux. May I also say they are some of the best I have had in America. A canele and espresso and you will be transformed to Paris. -Malika Ameen,

Great desserts especially rosé macaroon, and coffee. They write different things on coffee, which is so cute. Staff are super nice,no parking

If you go to this place order the cheesecake it is out of this world. And try creme brûlée and pistachio white chocolate 😍👌🏽

It has become one of my top 3 favorite brunch places in Chicago 😊 the place isn’t big thou so expect a line if you go during peak hours.

A cheerful morning spot. Try the house-made granola or the the European breakfast with charcuterie, croissant, baguette and butter, and an excellent cappuccino ($21). Read more

In the morning, they’re packed with tourists chowing croissants. In the evening, you have the place to yourself. Which is curious, because we love the simple charcuterie plates and Alsatian tarts. Read more

Omg I love this place. Great scene and the cheesecake and nutella macaroon are too die for.
SaraJune 20, 2013
Macarons!! Decisions, decisions... Nutella- by far the best!! Try birthday cake, strawberry, chocolate, & pistachio. Rich, decadent, flavorful, & superb quality!

one of the best places to stop and people watch or pass the time with a cup of coffee off of Michigan Avenue

Brunch menu is great - love the frittata. Macaroons to go are a great idea if you happen to be passing through

Chicken Tart Flambé (onion jam, pulled chicken, goat cheese, spinach, mozzarella)

At lunch time, quiches are heavenly with flat bread a close second. Tea is served the way it should be. Service can be slow at times.

Split the popover... delicious but massive

#breakfast in #chicago doesn't get better than the croissant sandwich at Pierrot Gourmet. See for yourself!

Cheesecake here is always on point. The raspberry tart did not taste as good as it appeared.

If you're a fan of sinfully good chocolate cake, walk straight to the glass pastry case and order the Chocolate Obsession. That is all.

Possibly the best coffee in the city. Try the tarte flambé, all the pizza topping goodness without the carb heavy crust guilt
Rachel RusnakOctober 1, 2012
Phenomenal coffee and delicate sweets. Darling place. Definitely want to check out after morning rush.

Service is amazing! Made my coffee with the wrong syrup and were very gracious and didn't charge me the $6 bucks.
Teri PytelApril 30, 2013

I went for a French toast and that was pretty good.
Ryan AlafrizMarch 27, 2015
Disappointed to see they didn't have quiche, but the popover was way better than a quiche could have been anyway. Delicious!
