"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."

"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! ✨"

"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."

"I usually love this spot… incredible sweets, flaky pastries, and delicate French flavor. However I brought home a “crunch bar” for a little after dinner treat and was appalled when I bit into it and a shard of glass cut my tongue. I’ve never had an experience like this and have been many times but felt the need to warn others. It’s such an adorable treat… I am just shocked."

"**⭐️⭐️ 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. I’ll start with the positives: the service was genuinely pleasant and attentive. Unfortunately, that’s where the praise ends. If you’re going to charge **$15 per pastry**, they need to be exceptional — and these were far from it. The **zucchini muffin** was, frankly, unappealing, the **banana cream éclair** was quite good flavor-wise but nowhere near worth the price, and the **swan cake**, despite its lovely presentation, was disappointingly average. The **coffee** was fine, but again, nothing to write home about. Overall, *Gourmet Pierrot* feels like a place that prioritizes style and pricing over substance. Beautiful displays, friendly staff — but if you’re after genuinely great pastries, your money will go much further elsewhere."
