[[HIGHLIGHT]]Delicious desserts and welcoming atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is small, but is cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Two desserts was $14.50 before tip, which is on the expensive side. Overall, experience was great.

Those baguettes sure were fresh! This bakery was a bit of an uphill trek from Georgetown but was totally worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside they have a handful of seats but it's pretty quaint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I stopped in on a Saturday morning and they had a great selection of pastries and bread. I got a whole wheat sourdough and it was nice a crusty with a great flavor. Most of the loaves were ~$8 which I thought was a fair price! I also got a kouign amann which flaky and sweet. Overall, would definitely recommend checking this spot out if you're in the area!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is so clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was excellent. I loved the croissants and pastries. I would definitely return to try more.

Cro'Gel Sandwich Breakfast Le Sud

Saw this place on a tiktok and was craving a croissant so we stopped by. It's a small bakery/cafe and everything looked delicious. The baked goods were pricey, but expected in that area and high quality. Mainly wanted to try the Cro'Gels, which are croissant-bagel sandwiches. The bacon/avocado one was delicious, large, and filling, and my girlfriend loved her lox one as well. But my favorite part was definitely the chocolate croissant. Not pictured because it was gone quickly.

Happened upon this French cafe while doing a little shopping on Christmas Eve. This location is newer than our go to Bethesda cafe and offered all the baked treats that we're accustomed to. Staff were helpful and pleasant. We ordered the Norwegian sandwich, flourless brownie (taste just like the traditional ones), an eclair, and brioche buns. Everything was extremely fresh. There are a few counter seats available, but most patrons ordered their coffee and food to go. So stop in! There's "Something Delicious Inside".

I stopped by Fresh Baguette a few weeks ago when I was in Georgetown after a bakery I had intended to visit had a line too long for me to wait. The service at Fresh Baguette was great, but I didn't love what I ordered. My raclette tart was less tart than bread roll with raclette on top, and my canelé was fine but seemed just a little overdone. I also had a drip coffee (there's a self-service table). They have quite a selection of pastries, as well as some French items for sale. The shop is plain and simple, but quaint, with one table and some bar seating inside. Overall, it was nice, but the food just didn't hit the spot for me.

i am sure many cultures would consider this an abomination but to whatever culture i exist in this is holy - this bakery is so far up wisconsin I was basically sweating by the time I got there but I deem it worth the half marathon - meet a crogel, a bagel and croissant fusion. I will always swear by a pure bagel but the textures of this made it so light, flakey, and fluffy that it was perfect with the mayo and fresh veggies. - I don't think with plain cream cheese this would fly but with a dessert cream cheese or this turkey breaat avocado lunch vibe it certainly did - also since I ordered online as a first timer I got money off so this was $7! not too shabby and definitely a must hit deal

Cro'Gel Sandwich Norwegian Iced Americano

Their CroGels are delicious! I LOVE the Norwegian one!! The bread is so light, crunchy and buttery! The salmon, cucumber, greens and spread are deliciously refreshing! The iced americano is a smooth classic that I keep coming back more!

Jasmin B.

My favorite items were the Pumpkin Mousse Cheesecake ,Pumpkin Cruffin and the Parisian Sandwhich! A Caramel Espresso is a great way to top off your pastries! -Jahhman

Cro'Gel Sandwich TM Pesto
Sara S.

I LOVE FRESH BAGUETTE! Easily the best bakery in DC. The bread and croissants are made fresh daily. The baguettes are great take aways for picnics or to bring to a friend's house as a host's gift and are only like $4. The coffee isn't great but it is made fresh. The stars of this place are their croissants- they KNOW what they're doing!! Flaky and buttery and tender- ugh! So good. Can't go wrong with the chocolate, almond, or plain croissants. I always get them for when loved ones visit. Also, they have a croissant shaped like a bagel called a crogel and they make it a sandwich!! The tomato pesto crogel is one of the best things I've ever eaten and I crave it constantly!! This will always be a fav of mine. Fast service, great food, and when the weather's cooler there is nice outdoor seating on R street. LOVE!!

Jen J.

On point! We came after a long day at the pool and I wanted to inhale all of the baked goods' crusty goodness. Quiches, croissants, desserts, breads, cold drinks, some snacks and other goodies for purchase. And a whole sandwich menu. Loved the Parisian baguette and the hazelnut desserts. Lemon meringue mini pies were wonderfully tart. My only disappointment was forgetting to grab some croissants for breakfast!

I was in town this weekend with Family and we initially were in the mood for Paul- the French…read morepastry shop that has several locations in the area. Unfortunately, the location in DC has permanently closed and we were still very much in the mood for some pastries... my cousin who is French has previously sang the praises of this Lil French pastry shop, so of course I had to give it a try. I am so happy that I did because I truly believe that I have stumbled upon my new favorite pastry shop in the area! Upon walking in the smell of croissants and almonds and sweet, sweet delicacies filled my nostrils. I basically became the human version of Remy from ratatouille inhaling a delicious bouillabaisse simmering on the stove top for hours....seeing colors and flavors so bright and intoxicating I simply had to have it I walked in and my eyes were instantly attracted to so many delicious options from classics like Palmiers and Napoleons to some unique flavor combos I've never tried before combined like raspberry and pistachio. Of course, I decided to grab a little bit of everything to make an accurate assessment as a YELP Elite should!! My favorite hands-down was the Berry Millefuille. The way the pastry crumbled in my mouth with every bite, combined with the tart, fresh raspberries, and thick flavorful custard.... Was worth every penny. Honorable mentions go to the peach rosemary tart, which was so unique with the added botanical of rosemary with some fresh sweet peach slices on top and a very crunchy tart base. We all enjoyed everything we purchased! I also ordered one of their seasonal specialties, the rosemary latte with skim milk and iced. The flavors were so uniquely crafted to where you could taste everything but everything combined together for the perfect sip. The ladies who greeted us at the cash register were so patient, so kind, and so understanding of my excitement and difficulty deciding and they even helped me add on a little chocolate happy birthday rectangle to the pastry I purchased for my husband! Without a doubt, this is only the first of the many times I will visit the establishment. It was so authentic, so delicious and passed all the vibe checks even from the French side of the family. I was told I have to return when they first open to have a fresh croissant and a fresh baguette that is on par with what you would have in Paris. Even the items in the fridge were made in France and were delicious fruit nectars that were very unique- we purchased a passionfruit nectar that didn't even make it past the doors before we had completely inhaled it and purchased a lychee nectar for later. I am so excited to have learned about this establishment and believe me when I say you must run, not walk, to experience it for yourself. Note- The dine in area inside the establishment is limited to a couple small tables. Definitely not equipped for large parties and a couple outdoor seatings right outside.

It was a beautiful summer afternoon in the DMV area - the low-humidity and happy-sunshine type of day when your hair doesn't frizz, and you would be just as happy sitting indoors or outdoors because the weather was perfectly cooperative. We found ourselves at Un Je Ne Sais Quoi, which was teeming with people - line out of the door, small space, tiny tables, indoor and outdoor seating, first come first served. We snagged seating indoors and soaked in the laid back European vibes. We had our delicious coffees - mercifully served in proper ceramic cups and some sweet treats. Would definitely be back - perhaps in the morning because I hear that the croissants are supposed to be on point!

Fortunately, even though they were super packed, we were able to find all of the items we were looking for - thanks to the hard working staff as they continue to make their pastries until closing - unlike so many other bakeries these days that make a certain amount and call it a day! Now to the food, everything we had was absolutely phenomenal! I am not a donut person but I loved theirs as they were very flavorful and weren't too sweet.

The waiters were very attentive with waters, clean up, and following up with our dishes. Although, I could tell they were trying to upsell me every time I tried to order something, which I rather not deal with for most dining occasions. Place is cozy with some Italian decor and Italian music playing. Everything was pretty good in my opinion; can't say that I can choose which course was my favourite! We had the duck prosciutto as an appetizer, which was a special. It was delicious with the cooked duck taste, alongside the toast with very vibrant jam. My vongole pasta was good too; I do like pasta more on the firmer side, which it was. It tasted great with the calm, garlic, and olive oil - simple, yet tasty. The tiramisu itself was fine, but I believe it was enhanced even more with the sauces and cookie bit on the top; the cookie bit was too good. I definitely would like to come back to try some of their other things!

The presentation was beautiful - sliced and then arranged back together like the chef was Michelangelo himself. The small amount of juice around the chicken was excellent - butter and salt and rosemary and a veritable symphony of umami flavors! Divine! The lobster bisque is like no other I have ever had in my entire life and I go back and forth to Maine several times every year! But I have never eaten lobster bisque as smooth, as liquid-gold as this with so much banging flavor!!! Every spoonful exploded in my mouth. When I was done, I used the bread to soak up every leftover dribble! I know, I know, this review is a little bit over the top, isn't it? But Al Tiramisu deserves it!

I had absolutely no plans on buying or eating cake that day, but as a cake lover stuff happens. It was such a cute building the pastries had to be everything! It turned out to be the perfect stop. 1. The looks The building itself is so cute on the outside, and being a fan of the color pink, it instantly caught my attention. Inside, it feels less like a fast, high volume bakery and more like an intimate cake boutique. It gives small town where the owners know you by your first name. You can feel that real love was put into the space and the baking. Tasted like every ingredient was hand mixed, every cake hand frosted, and every cookie carefully hand scooped. They even served my slice of coconut cake on a real plate, which was such a cute, bourgeois touch that I loved. 2. Service The hospitality here is top-notch. On my first visit, yes you heard me! Lol! The gentleman Eric who rang me up was incredibly knowledgeable about all the different cookie and cake flavors. I ended up returning the very next day, and although he wasn't there, the other two staff members working which included Mikaela were absolutely delightful and so kind. The young lady told me her daughter loves the carrot cake as well and Mikaela said they started working there because they loved the patties so much! 3. The Cakes -Coconut Cake: This slice was so delicious, fluffy, and airy that it instantly reminded me of being a kid at holiday family meals with a fresh coconut cake on the table. -Carrot Cake: It was everything you want a carrot cake to be. It was nice and dense yet soft, with a pleasant texture from the added fruits. Definitely noticed pineapple bits! The cream cheese frosting wasn't overly thick and was so good you could eat it completely by itself. -Strawberry Cupcakes: I stole a small bite of my son's. unfortunately, this one was my least favorite. The frosting had a little chemical taste to it but it was a super cute cupcake. To answer your question, will I return? Absolutely! If you are in the DC area or planning a trip there soon, check this spot out. It truly feels like a mom and pop or pop and pop boutique. Not a bakery but a BOUTIQUE! Check them out! Tell them Anisha from Milwaukee sent you! (Not that they'd remember it just sounds cute!)

We were sat in the solarium area, and it was during the heat dome, and it was really warm in there. Otherwise, though, it's completely charming inside and reminds us of some of the best French bistros we've been to in the country (e.g. Balzathar, Le Supreme). The three cocktails we tried--the frose, le jardin, and the clouseau--were all stunners. And of course the bread deserves another special mention, *especially* the room temperature butter. Thank you for not serving hard as hell butter! We shared the warm shrimp salad to start, and for $31, we were expecting more than a few avocado slices and 4 shrimp on it, but c'est la vie. The dressing was incredible, and the greens were crunchy. That's actually the only dish of the night that we thought was unfairly overpriced. One of us ordered the burger and the other got the rabbit pappardelle--you've got to get rabbit when you see it on a menu, which isn't often enough! There was a good amount of super tender meat and the pasta was perfectly al dente, all in a lightly stunning sauce. Chef's kiss. The burger was, no surprise, another triumph. There was juicy meat, bun integrity, and all the right accouterment notes. The fries are standard. Our daughter got their mac-n-cheese, which is probably just the gratin dish renamed. It was OK. We kind of got out of control for dessert and ordered the pot de creme, the cookie dough ice cream, and the profiteroles. Honestly, these were all good, but nothing that stood out as exemplary as with the savory stuff. Our only major complaint was the service. It was really spotty and while there was a very, very long gap in between when we got our water and then put in our drinks, but our mains came out almost directly after the salad. And the guy was just not very hospitable. Not necessarily a "bad" experience...it just could have been a lot better. Four stars, and we have already declared that we will be back again to "The Dip" because there is so much else on the menu that we want to try.
