This place doesn't look fancy but the goodies within are gems. I had the cherry blossom cake. I appreciated the authentic flavor. Will definitely be back for more! read more

The food is amazing! My favorites are the Nutella croissant and the Caprese Panini (I'm not sure if that's the exact name for it). I've never had anything there that wasn't delicious. This isn't letting me give a star rating but it's five stars from me. read more

Yumm! First time trying a crogel and it didn't disappoint. It's a croissant & bagel that had a beautiful baby and it's genius. Crispy outside, soft inside. It's pricey (a little over $5 a piece) but worth a try. Service was good. Both workers that were there were nice & helpful. Would definitely recommend this place for someone who's looking for a simple but delicious sandwich. read more

Fresh Baguette - Bakeries Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

So far I've tried their plain croissant, quiche Lorraine, and latte. I am in love with their quiche, it's consistently flavorful and the crust is flaky as it should be. My only critique is that sometimes when the staff heat it up the top of it actually burns and makes it taste bitter. Usually the ambience is pretty calm, most times I go in there, it isn't packed and I'm able to easily find seating. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming, they exemplify what good customer service looks like. read more

Fresh Baguette in Rockville never misses. The quiches were rich and flavorful, the cinnamon buns were perfectly soft and sweet, and the croissants were buttery and flaky in the best way. Omer gave amazing service and made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of my favorite bakery spots around here. read more

I enjoyed the French bread. It was crusty and had nooks and crannies. I would like to try this place again. read more

Fresh Baguette - Bakeries Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Monday 2/24/25 This spot has been on my list for a long time, and now I'm finally trying it. The customer service was good: shoutout to Tyrese for making sure everything went smoothly. For my order I got the crogel bacon and caramelized cabbage $12.90, cinnamon roll $4.90, sweet pumpkin bread $4.10, and the Kouign Amann $4.90. - The crogel sandwich is a hybrid between a croissant and a bagel and is something I had never had or thought existed. The sandwich itself was solid, and it would've been even better if there had been more bacon to match the near $13 price tag. - The cinnamon roll is a croissant-style cinnamon roll, and it was pretty good. A personal favorite of mine and something I'd come back for. - The kouign amann is a croissant-style pastry that's not overly sweet, but it's decent and gets the job done. - The sweet pumpkin bread was alright when you factor in the price and the smaller portion you get, but it's not bad. Overall, these are some decent pastries that I'd be open to coming back for and recommend. read more

They truly know how to do breads right. I have never had something I do not loooove from Fresh Baguette, every menu item is fantastic! The Norwegian Crogel is my favorite. A crogel is a croissant bagel, by the way ;) The service is friendly, efficient, and helpful. They also have some cute umbrellas and tables outside front to sit and enjoy. The location is sort of tucked away, not picturesque, but the food makes it all worth nothing less than 5 stars. read more

Beautiful displays, a couple of vegan options which is nice, the inside is clean and usually busy from what I can tell! Staff were helpful however this place definitely doesn't have the cozy vibe I prefer for a cafe. More like a brunch spot! read more

Amazing! My first order from here and everything was so delicious!! I'm super excited to have found this bakery/cafe as we order delivery often. We have gotten bored with the same couple of restaurants from whom we order - even though the food is good - because many of the other local restaurants are either not very good or have terrible reviews. So glad to now have Fresh Baguette to add to our small list of favorite restaurants! Only problem is, you'll want to try everything! read more

I randomly saw the shop this morning after stopped in front of a traffic light area. I saw the sign and i was like ohhh.there's a cafe there. So in the afternoon after work i went back and me and my daughter grabbed a few things. It was on the pricey side, but it was very good. My daughter had a chocolate croissant and i had the crogel with smoked salmon and cream cheese. Plus a madeleine. It was all great. My daughter really liked the croissant. It reminded her of Tim Hortons. It was very good and staff greeted us very warmly and patiently waited for us to choose our orders. I like how it has like a french cafe feel to the place too. read more

Been here a few times at this location as it's on my way to work. Every time I get a sandwich here it is super good! This time I got the Californian Crogle, I was informed by owner after my original review! It was really good along with the coffee (I had it with oat milk). Definitely will be coming by again! The food doesn't take too long to make, it's always been quick and the food is great. read more

Who knew a Crogel Sandwich would take me back to a spot I had not been to for some time. Yea, that's right, a Cro'gel and I only recently discovered what that was. A Crogel or Cro'gel (depending on which menu you are looking at) is a cross between a croissant and a bagel. I recently had a meal at Café Sophie in Gaithersburg, MD and ate a Crogel Sandwich and it was so good that I really enjoyed it. One of my friends informed me that the Crogel at Café Sophie was made by Fresh Baguette. So, I decided to go to the place that made it. One weekend morning I decided to visit their Rockville location. I saw there was enough space to park even though I noticed the foot traffic in and out of the business stayed busy. Upon entering the door, I saw bread, pastries, drinks, snacks, croissants, and other items. It took me back to when I first went there. Behind the counter on the wall, I saw where the menu showed five Cro'gel Sandwich choices that included: Sunny Side Up Bacon, Californian, The Pesto, Village and Norwegian. I opted for the Norwegian which is smoked salmon, chive cream cheese, cucumber, and spring mix. I also got an item behind the glass compartment, and it is described as sweet bread made with a mix of pumpkin, bourbon, and cream cheese frosting. Their sign said it was Pumpkin Sweet Bread, but the menu online said Sweet Pumpkin Bread. To me, it's all pastry. I ordered everything to go. Once settled, I noticed the Cro'gel was huge. I had to cut it in quarters to make it more manageable and it was. There was also a little bit more crunch in the breading, but a soft one. The sandwich was quite tasty and fresh (everything was all balanced). I will come back to try another. The pastry was delicious too - I certainly tasted the pumpkin flavor and the frosting was not heavy. The visit was worth it. Visited February 2024. read more

Mini Crogel is totally a must. Perfect sized bite, great taste, and good price point. If your real hungy, get the regular sized, but at double the price. Caneles, in my opinion, is a pass. Not that crusty on the outside, overcooked on the inside, and a weird metallic taste. I am not sure how else to describe it, but I would never order Caneles again from this location. read more

Love this bakery! I can't say enough good things about it. The bread and baked goods are fantastic! The recent makeover of the store interior is really lovely and comfortable. I Absolutely love the caramel macchiato coffee. By best of all, is the friendly and helpful staff! read more

I have been going here a for a while and have many favorites. I love the village sandwich, the pumpkin loaf, the raspberry tart and the almond croissants. The staff are always friendly and helpful with recommendations. I am so sad to hear that the sweet breads are going away soon so I bought a few of the mini pumpkin loaves at my last visit. Please consider keeping them!! Overall, a really great place to eat a meal and dessert. read more

This authentic French bakery is both a boulangerie and patisserie, with a myriad of fresh-baked breads, buttery pastries (kouign-amann, croissants, pan au escargot) and cookies (macarons) and cakes. They also have delicious quiches and sandwiches for lunch fare. The store sell imported French products (boxes of crackers, cookies and jars of spreads). I love their various croissants, la madeleines, and canales. The buttery layers of pastry sheets are so delicate and flaky. What also makes them great are the occasional little contests they hold that give people opportunities to win baguettes or croissants. One contest last year involved sending pictures, videos or poems to them about our love for Fresh Baguette. Service is always friendly and professional. Will be back to try more sweets (napoleons, cheesecake, cream puffs). read more

Love this bakery! It's a little hidden off of 355, but if you know where to look, you won't miss it's bright pink sign! From 355, it's a little hard to see because it's sort of behind other building from the main road. They have this croissant bagel that is delicious!! I enjoy the chicken one more than the salmon, only because it has like Mayo or some kind of sauce. Also I loooove croissants and bagels! So to combine the two, genius! They have chocolate, plain, and Nutella croissants too! Come early because these sell out! They have a ton other tasty pastries to select from too! There's a nice little seating area that gets some sun. So you could always eat outside here as well. Tons of parking available. It's nice because since it's not quite on 355, it's a quiet outdoor spot. read more

I love getting the too good to go bags from fresh baguettes, because their pastries always looks fresh, even at the end of the day. It shows alot about their commitment to the quality and taste of their product, and I have nothing but good things to say about every pastry I have tried from here. My favourite though, is the canele, as I feel like there isn't many places selling them. Service is great everytime I go. the bakery has outdoor seating and ample parking, tucked behind some shops. read more

So happy I found this hidden place. It doesn't look like it has parking but there's plenty hidden on the side. I got a sandwich for lunch and it was much bigger than I expected which is great. The pictures made it sort of look breakfast sized but it was a nice portion for lunch. The ice coffee was really good. Some places the coffee tastes bitter but whatever they use here tasted nice and smooth. The desserts look so amazing! I need to workout more so I can indulge myself read more

What a hidden gem! Was pleasantly surprised to find this place. I ordered a mille feuille or "Napoleon" pastry. I've been searching for one ever since my favorite place stopped selling it. The cream was a little too sweet for my liking but I can see myself getting it again. Another thing I loved about this place was that you could buy some French snacks (which I went all out on). It's a little pricey for the pastries but they also come in a pretty hefty serving size. Try to go earlier in the day if you can, by the time I went it was close to closing and there weren't as many pastries left. read more

I love the bite-size tarts (caramel and raspberry recommended) and interesting bottled juices (pear is my favorite) at this hidden-away French bakery off of Rockville Pike/Frederick Rd...it's a rather spartan store with both indoor and outdoor seating and a fair-sized parking lot. They have a nice selection of breads and pastries--the bite-sized tarts are the tiniest and cutest I've seen in the area and just perfect if you want just a taste of sweet goodness--but the prices can be a bit high. I did feel a bit rushed at the counter the few times I've been here but it seems there was only one person working at the front those times...definitely worth a visit if you like pastries... read more

I ordered a mango nectar drink, the ham croque monsieur, napoleon pastry, and an almond croissant. Food: -Croque Monsieur - It was my first time having one. It tasted like a regular ham and cheese sandwich to me. It didn't really stand out to me. Maybe I should have added a little salt and pepper to give it extra flavor. The sandwich was hearty and the slices were larger than average. -Custard Napoleon- A bit on the sweeter side. Some may find it too sweet, but I have a sweet tooth so I didn't mind it at all. It was my favorite item of everything I ordered. The puff pastry was flaky as it should be. I would rank it among one of the best I have ever had. -Almond croissant - I toasted this for breakfast the next morning. It was substantial in size, but I generally like more almond cream in my almond croissants. There wasn't enough butter or cream so it was slightly dry. -They sell pre-packaged pastries and freshly baked loaves of bread. Service - The staff who took my order was friendly. She asked if I wanted my Croque Monsieur warmed up and if I wanted a carryout bag. Pricing - $26 for my order. On the pricier end for a bakery IMO. It was definitely a splurge for me. It will definitely prepare me for Paris if I ever go. I hear it's expensive there. Seating - There are four 2 seat tables inside and outdoor patio seating. My chair had crumbs on it and I had to wipe it down. Location/Parking- If you see Tapei Cafe which has a red awning, the bakery is tucked behind it. There is ample parking in front of the bakery and to the side. I found a dead mouse in one of the parking spaces. Cringe, I'm surprised I didn't lose my appetite. Final Thoughts - I will definitely come back to try other items when I'm nearby. My friend recommended the tiramisu, which she says is her favorite. read more

Delicious breads and pastries. My eyes were much larger than my stomach on this stop. The breads are so good! I would have liked to try more but what I had was fantastic. The breakfast sandwich was really good. The flaky bagel type bread was unique and new to me. I enjoyed it. There was a perfect mixture of toppings. I liked how the greens and the cheese paired. The baguette was the right mix of chewy and crust. It had a hint of salt that would be perfect to dip into olive oil. If you are into French styled pastries or bread then this should be on your list to go to. Highly recommended read more

Authentic casual French pasty shop. I visited on a day with limited front service staff (1 person) but would definitely like to go back when pastries and bread are being baked. Small petite pastries are quite expensive (2.45 each) so I opted for full size: Cherry croissant, croque ham, caneli, lemon meringue tart, fruit juice purée (pear, mango, apricot, one other I forgot). $60 (2024 inflation). All were very good and took me three days to finish. Glad I finally stopped in. My new favorite French pastry spot. read more

Came across this cute French bakery that is hidden behind the Taipei Cafe. We decided to get an assortment of goodies even though we were full. Happy that we got the (last) Almond croissant along with some chocolate croissants, raisin bun, and coffee. The sesame baguette was amazing. Staff was friendly. There are other package goodies that are made in France. There are some small tables inside the cafe where you can enjoy the treats and take home for afternoon snacks or breakfast. read more

It's a small hidden patisserie in Rockville that is almost hidden from the main road. It is hard to see, but if you're looking for it, then it isn't too hard. Once you are there, there should be plenty of parking so do not worry. Most people come here for take out. They do have indoor and outdoor seating for the cafe feeling, but nothing extravagant or beautiful. It is mainly there for convenience. But, a place should be judged by the food offerings and this place delivers. It is a step sweeter than the other French offerings nearby, but the presentation and the taste are solid. If you can stomach the sweetness (which isn't all from sugar), then you'll love this place. The flavors are very prominent and that is a good thing. When you get strawberry, you taste the full flavor. When you get pumpkin, you taste the full flavor. It is a bit pricier, but you get what you pay for, a delicious and well executed dessert. read more
