wonderful pastries and tarts. great quality although now a bit overpriced. Still almond croissant as well as some of those fruit tarts are just as delicious. Decor is very east village, and the back-room sitting is tight. Coffee isn't great, but can vary depending on who makes it for you.

Overrated: Ceci n'est pas un croissant!

Ceci Cela is considered one of the best patisseries in the city, but if that's the case, New York is in trouble. They consistently fail the test of a good French bakery: the croissant. I have gone back too many times, and I have yet to eat a good one there-- they're always stale, dry, flavorless, without flakiness on the outside or tender butteriness on the inside. In France, this place wouldn't last a week. The French staff should be ashamed.
