Pierrot Gourmet

So I came here to pick up some  macarons since this place was reported for the best Chicago macarons. The macarons were okay..definitely not the best I've had. It was definitely disappointing since they were $2.75/one. I think they charge that much because they give you a really pretty box for it lol. The passion fruit mousse cake was delicious though but not really worth $7.50 for. It was a size of one slice! I'll come by once in awhile when I feel like it but definitely not stopping here every day.

I've walked past this place a million times and finally decided to try it for breakfast.  One thing about this place is that it's always crowded. Not sure if its because it is filled with tourists or people staying in the hotel, but there is always a wait.

I didn't have anything that interesting, the steel cut oats with berries, but they were expensive. My hubs had waffles what were just ok.

The service was great, people were very accommodating of my little bebe and I would go here again. Maybe just for the pastries though..

It's either a hit or miss at this place. I had a hot chocolate and latte, both of which were...eh, alright. Drinkable, but definitely more enjoyable because it was snowing outside and my nose was about to freeze off.

Cheese plate is totally overrated. Tiny bits of cheese, slightly bitter jam. The toasts were cute and artisan looking.

Eggs were good, hash browns were tasty. Bread pudding, gross.

Pistachio and Nutella macarons, delish. But then again...is it possible to have a bad macaron? YUM!
