Andy Y: Try: Almond Broiche, ham and cheese croissant, duck pate sandwich, chocolate croissant... Great little cafe.
Tim Shey: A longtime West Chelsea mainstay. Check out the ancient espresso machine. If you want to venture beyond their great croissants, they have a super-rich almond brioche toast, and a nice coffee eclair.
Serious Eats: Little French patisserie La Bergamote makes one of my favorite croissants in the city, and its smaller incarnation is just as good—the right balance of crispy shell to tender interior.

kate kudish: Best customer service, hands down. This place is fantastic - cant go wrong with anything but almond croissant and frittata sandwich are amazing.
Amy Shackelford: As someone who works here and has tried everything, my favs are almond croissants, babka, and cereal bread. If you're there for lunch: go for the avocado sand. Delicious and high quality!
Liz: The best chocolate babka, chocolate croissant & banquettes!
Wenna: Velvety smooth latte, so good with the almond croissant.
Tatiana: Coffee has a nice, nutty flavor and the chocolate croissants are perfection.
Nicholas Doyle: Top-notch espresso and croissants from Ceci-Cela are among the best in the city. Come a little before closing and you might score some bonus pastries if you're sweet to the staff.

a: Everything is good at this place. Love every single donut I ever had here and the "croissant donut" is pretty damn good.
Elizabeth Burstein: Loved the Boston creme, croissant donut, and the coconut !
Samantha Rodriguez: The Maple bacon croissant donut is to die for! The French Curler is amazing and even their plain donut holes are beyond delicious. They have a pretty great brewed hot coffee as well.
John Michael: Great espresso and second best almond croissant in town. Seating for reading and highfalutin socializing, but no wifi, so not great for working online.
Jose Medina: Coffee, cappuccino and anything coffee related is amazing. They have croissants as well that are delectable.

Brad Green: The croissants, so fresh they are still warm from the oven, are perfect—soft on the inside, and slightly crunchy and flaky on the outside. The best on the UES.
Paige C: Very cute (but hidden) bakery. Their coffee is pretty weak, but their baked goods and croissants are delicious.
Laura Niz: Best croissant in New York! Try one of the filled one - ham and cheese or peach in the summer
