About this business
Ceci-Cela, the tiny patisserie feels like a bit of Paris. It sits on the border of Little Italy and Soho, in the trendy neighborhood of Nolita. The French staff offers all sorts of heavenly baked treats including meringues, croissants, fruit tarts, cakes and more. Unlike many nearby establishments, it will not wreck your wallet. There is limited seating in the back, for those wishing to quietly enjoy an espresso with one of their exceptional chocolate croissants or other treat.

Poor Customer Service! – I cannot speak on the service of the wait staff, but I can say that the delivery service is terrible. In addition, the manager does not understand customer service. I would NEVER order from them again! I called two weeks in advance and placed an order for a cake. The cake was for my husband's birthday and was to be delivered at 5pm. I was charged a significant delivery fee, so I expected the cake to be delivered on time. The cake was delivered 30 mins late. When the delivery woman got to my door, she... read more
A Little Slice of Heaven--Served By The Finest Staff – I am honestly quite disturbed by the previous posts concerning a rude waitstaff. As a frequent patron of ceci-cela I can not help but be both shocked and appalled by the reviews. My daily walk down Spring Street after a hard days at work is not complete without stopping in to Ceci-Cela to visit with a staff that is both accomodating and well mannered. I must, in order to be the most precise, point out two young ladies in particular whom even mother theresa herself would ... read more
Best place to sit and read a book – I happened upon this cafe one day while waiting to meet a friend. I went to the back of the cafe and ordered a coffee and a mixed fruit tart. The coffee was served in an oversized coffee mug, which I just adore. The whole experience was just so nice because I was able to finish reading my book while enjoying the delicious treat. The service that I experienced was a complete pleasure. Prompt and allowing me to read and relax rather then rushing me out. I was so happy that I've gone back rep... read more
Shockingly Rude – You'd think it would be difficult to not make eye contact in this very tiny space, but the waitstaff here are masters at it. While waiting to be seated, not one of 3 servers greeted us or asked us if we wanted to be seated, although they brushed past us at least 5 times. After asking the counterperson if there was a method to getting seated here, she said the back was full and that was the reason no one made eye contact or said hello. There are millions of places to spend money in NY, and NO ONE should spen... read more
Just Plain Rude! – Good pastries are never a substitution for being courteous to your customers. On a recent visit after dinner to grab dessert with my wife and daughter, my wife was insulted by one of the waiters for asking if there were any additional napoleons in the kitchen. To both our surprise, this inquiry was interpreted as a personal offense by the waiter who told my wife to leave the store if she didnt want the pastries. When another woman, standing in line behind my wife made a similar inquiry, he was equally rude... read more
Extremely rude waiter – Good food but rude waiter diminished the quality of the food with his attitude. Refused our request for a table that was clearly available and made snide remarks right in our faces. Would recommend getting takeout unless you are willing to put up with service that is much to be desired.
Great croissants...and service – I was very surprised when I read the reviews on Ceci Cela. I have been living in Nolita for 3+ years, and I have always got an excellent service at this outstanding bakery/cafe. If you stop by Ceci Cela, try the croissants. Almond croissants as well as ham&cheese croissants are highly recommended, and must be one of the best you can find in NYC. FYI, most people working at Ceci Cela are from Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, and various European countries. I haven't seen many from France yet. I w... read more
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Soho patisserie's fresh pastries include all-occasion cakes, mousse, parfait, savories, breads, tarts, quiche. Small seating area to devour individual treats.
Okay but not worth it. – I thought the pastries were all right. But you can get better in friendlier (much friendlier) places. It wasn't worth the hassle. My friend's friend had raved about the place, so we went. It wasn't terrible. The pastries were fine, but who needs rude service? Overall a disappointment. There's better with better attitudes. I don't see giving money to people who can't be bothered to be polite.
