"You might know Pierrot Gourmet as the unusually laidback French cafe connected to the Peninsula Hotel—home to fancy Chinese food, fancy afternoon tea, and a fancy rooftop with a great view. It’s also a bakery that’s quietly making some of the best baked goods in the city. Ignore the touristy crowd eating brunchy things at tables, and hop in the to-go line to stockpile perfectly flaky chocolate croissants, hefty cinnamon rolls, and stunning tarts that look indistinguishable from real chrysanthemums. All of their desserts are perfect for making you the MVP of someone else’s dinner party or inhaling on the couch in the company of your dog." - veda kilaru, john ringor
