I have been purchasing desserts here for over 2 years. Excellent, elegant, truly gourmet French desserts. They are at the same level of quality as the fanciest French pastry shops in NYC. I have never been disappointed. The macarons are great. The small pastries melt in your mouth. I ordered desserts for Mother's Day last year and they were perfectly prepared. They are worth evey dollar.

One of the best bakeries I have ever been to. The tarts, the pastries, the macarons, the coffee...all so so so good. You will not be disappointed. I have tried almost all the little cakes there and some standouts include the basque cheesecake, the raspberry tart, the chocolate ganache, the citron tart and the eclairs (when they have them). The pistachio mousse cake (must preorder) is SO GOOD. The store is run by a wonderful couple; they are so nice and make sure to package everything up nicely. No seats available.

We stumbled upon this cute French bakery that has been open for 7 years! Using only the finest ingredients like French butter and Valrhona chocolate, they make treats like coffee almond cake and chocolate fondant cake. The owner was so friendly and knowledgeable too!

The desserts are so pretty. The artistry shines through. The flavor, even better. Whenever we are in the area we try and stop by to get a few items to taste. The owner is very attentive and will explain the flavors or design if you ask. It’s a small shop. They sell croissants and coffee as well.

Although it is a small shop by local eateries, their desserts are great to have after a savory dinner. My husband tried the Basque cheesecake which was delicious! They also had macarons, tarts, and other pastries which we definitely plan to try next time. And the staff was friendly and welcoming as well.

This is a dessert shop that I really love. It's a gem of a shop that I discovered when I first moved to the area. Even though I don't live nearby anymore, I love it so much that I'm willing to drive 30 minutes just for their desserts. The owner is always kind and professional, but the true gem of this shop is the desserts. All of their pastries, cakes and baked goods are delicious, and it's great to see that they use seasonal fruits and only high-quality flour and butter. It seems like they have a belief in using only the best ingredients, which makes it even better. Whenever there's a special occasion, I always go to Ciel to buy the desserts. I'm planning to go there tomorrow as well!
Inspired desserts...really amazing! Even my snobby French husband is obsessed. We had the chocolate mouse cake, passion fruit tart, rose mouse cake, and a bunch of other things. Everything was amazing. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients.

This bakery is amazing! Very elegant and delicious. The price is reasonable for high quality ingredients and design with these wonderful treats. My girlfriend is Gluten free and I was able to get many pastries due to them being made gluten free which was wonderful. The pastries were amazing and the staff was nice and pleasant. Definitely will be coming back here to try the coffee. I would recommend this place to anyone!

My friend and I bought a few pastries today. The pastries were fresh and so appetizing. The creative combinations of flavors and presentation are beautifully matched. I had the almond cream filled horn and it was so delicate light and delicious. I devoured it! Try this place.

We drove 20 minutes for cake but got some pastries instead since cake needs to be preordered. Aesthetically great and tasted fine. Got some loose tea as well. Minus one for customer service, pastry chef ?? unpleasant.

Amazing all around. Presentation. Ambiance. Deliciousness. Great people own Ciel and the love they put into creating visually appealing, delicately made french pastries makes it my new favorite place. A hidden gem in Westwood, please visit!
