I wound up starving at 10 AM and wandered down Connecticut looking for a quick bite, and the Baguette perfectly hit the spot. I wound up getting a couple of croissants, as they had a fantastic special on them. I grabbed a regular and a chocolate one. The regular had great flavour, nice and buttery, and flakey. The chocolate one was equally delicious. The inside of the restaurant is a little skant, without much in the way of seating (though they have about a half dozenish tables, they were all taken up). I think it's kind of a "grab and go" place in intent, but people seemed to want to linger and hang out. read more

Solid 3: the raisin bun was not that good, it could have used more moisture and maybe butter.. Chocolate Nutella croissant was okay. They have a member and non-member prices. If you live in the neighborhood you can get the app and pay monthly fees to get discounts. Unless you come here always, it makes no sense. However, in the Cleveland park area- they may be the better coffee shop and bakery. Located right next to the public library.. so I like that! read more

This is the Cleveland park location of this chain. The bakery itself is nice and has outdoor seating. The raisin danish was pitiful, maybe a 2.5/5. They have a membership program where you can pay a flat membership fee every month to receive significant discounts on all items. If you plan on coming here often it's likely worth it. Overall, this place is okay. read more

We are patrons of the other locations and menu so I'd like to believe this was a one off for this location. The chocolate eclair was completely frozen and stale with hardened pastry cream and ice fragments. We let the staff at the counter know in case the refrigeration temperatures were off. The canele was rubbery and chewy with an eggy aftertaste unlike the caneles we've had at the McLean location. Three in a group of five felt abdominal discomfort after having the pastries. The Rustic Boule, again something we've bought multiple times was doughier than usual, without the hearty pores and crust, like it was packed warm days ago. The saving grace was the pistachio orange blossom tart. Stars are for the tart and one of the guys at the counter who was kind enough to hold on to a sling bag the 7 year old left behind. Kid was in tears but knowing the bag was safe brought a smile to her face while we drove back to get it. read more

Picked up the torch when Yelp changed their ordering platform and I wanted to keep sending my brother's family way too many baked goods on Saturday mornings despite being 3,000 miles away. Grubhub chastised me for being "too far away". Well the Fresh Bag website ordering was a breeze, they delivered in 45 minutes and everything from the madeleines to the quiche was perfect. Love the sourdough. And the almond croissants are always a hit. read more

Skip this location! The only early morning customer this Monday, I was assaulted inside the store by a young black woman who tried to grab my Metro card (sticking out of my pocket). When she socked me, I yelled for the two young woman behind the counter to call the police. They did NOTHING. After the woman ran out, there wasn't even an "are you all right?" Creepy. Go somewhere else. read more

Nothing compares. The sandwiches and their bread it's on is amazing. I have never, ever have had pastry that beats theirs. Prices a little bit high but the food is worth it. Don't even think about it. Just go! read more

Hello yelpers :) Quick trip to get a pastry to sample . Got the kouign amann pastry .... It was buttery , sweet and the bread was just perfectly balanced . Not too sweet and not too buttery .... Perfect . Service was quick and polite . Get your French bread !!! read more

This was such a stroke of good luck, to walk in here after our library program and get amazing pastries. They are expensive; it's DC and these are not standard donuts! Staff, too, is friendly and professional. My friend got a delicious pumpkin croissant and I got a gluten free ... thing that made me wish I could get my pastries there every day. Just having two gluten-free options was more than I could have hoped for, but to have two CHOCOLATE gluten-free options? Well, that was a miracle for me. And what I chose - whatever it was called - was delightful, glazed with chocolate and filled with creamy mousse. I can highly recommend stopping in here for a visit! read more

I'm so excited that Fresh Baguette has made CP its new home! (I've been to the Glover Park location, but happy to have one closer!) We really needed a good place to grab great delicious pastries and fresh baguettes in the neighborhood. Even though you may encounter a line, it moves quickly-- and is worth the wait! My almond croissant was light and fluffy and generous in size! You can take your items to go, or sit down at various tables. I'll be back to try out more of their items! I've got my eye on you, sandwiches! read more

The bakery was crowded and there wasn't a whole lot of sitting room available as it was a smaller place but the line moved very fast and efficiently and we managed to snag a spot at the windows and enjoyed the croissant with views of the street. The plain croissant from Fresh Baguette was so light, airy, and most importantly.. fresh! Definitely enjoyed this place for a weekend treat! read more

Excellent place to have a light sandwich packed with flavor. I ordered the Californian crogel and it was flakes and had great texture. The chicken was moist and flavorful especially with the bomb oregano spread... I subbed lettuce for the tomatoes since I don't prefer them on a sando unless I am in a mood. Haven't tried the pistachio dessert since I was full from the crogel and pineapple juice. Great spot for brunch... oh and my friends also loved their sandwiches. We ate the entire things lol read more

This place is clean and so is their food. The cleanliness of the staff shows at this location and the bagels were some of the best I've ever had. Not too thick or feeling heavy after eating. This place makes me want to move to the area. read more

I had the privilege to attend the Mock Service for this amazing new Fresh Baguette location before next week's grand opening. As soon as I entered, I was struck by the bright, modern, yet cozy space and received a warm welcome from the manager. The baguettes and loafs looked almost too perfect to eat, the pastries perfectly crafted, and the sandwiches scrumptious. They also offered a wide variety of espresso drinks which is, unfortunately, rare for the area. The prices are also reasonable at $5 - $12 dollars on average per item. I enjoyed a Norwegian Cro'gel (a smoked salmon sandwich with a bagel shaped croissant bread) and a caramel latte, and took home a sourdough loaf. So excited to see them opening next week! I'm sure I'll become a regular. read more

I ordered a Croque Monsieur from them and instead of giving me a new one, they gave me two that appear to be a day old. Honestly I have no idea what made them think that this was alright. read more

rude staff. always hit or miss on what they have -- they have skim milk some days and not others. the latte is not the same without it. oat milk is not as good. I asked staff for the reason, but they clearly don't prioritize this store and staff was no accommodating to my frustration of being offered 1 out of every 10 visits skim milk. mediocre at best! go somewhere else! read more

This place was lively for a Sunday afternoon! My husband and I came here for a quick bite before grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. The staff was lovely and quick and we were able to order and sit in the window while we ate. We split the Parisian and a ham/cheese croissant. The food was next level - really enjoyed both of them, fresh and delicious. The coffee was fine, nothing to write home about, but that's to be expected when going to a place called Fresh Baguette- the food should be better than the coffee! read more

Fresh Baguette serves up an beautifully amazing menu of pastries. We tried the chocolate and raspberry croissants, chocolate eclair, and the quiche. Not only is presentation excellent, but the service was top notch. This is a "do not miss" on your way to the White House! In fact, it's so good you might see the secret police indulging. read more

Excellent edition to Cleveland Park. Delicious breads, pastries and coffees. Looking forward to them sticking around. read more

I really wanted to love this place because it's in my neighborhood, but the bread and croissants are completely tasteless. There are no baking aromas like in Bread Furst, and the products feel very mass produced. I looked at their pies for Thanksgiving, and the Dutch Apple, which looked pretty skimpy, was on sale for $50! I did have a sandwich there a couple of months ago, and it was good. The place is clean and the people who work there are friendly, but the bread is a huge disappointment. They're not in the same league as Sako Sako, across the street and Bread Furst in Van Ness. read more

Good sandwiches but the black gentleman running the a.m. shifts gives the same pretentious energy you get from a college student who did one semester in Paris and makes it his mission to correct every English pronunciation in French words. Put the sandwich in my bag and let me move along with my day, sir. I do not care how it is pronounced. read more

Amazing staff. A very friendly and welcoming environment! my cinnamon roll and chicken sandwich were cooked to perfection!

Bread was delicious and fresh. Service was friendly. A great addition to the neighborhood

Went for their early opening event. Beautiful space. Delicious pastries at reasonable price. All employees were kind and helpful. Nice addition to Cleveland Park. read more

Fresh Baguette - Inside - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Food was quick and good and I was surprised the sandwich was served warm. Hopefully they get some outside seating soon. A/C was nice on a hot day, but.... -didn't see any menus or QR codes (which I'm not a fan of anyway) so had to look up the sandwich options on my phone -There were 3 open tables and all needed cleaning. Someone was sweeping, even asked me to lift my feet so she could get under my table, but never came around to address the tables. I ended up finding a napkin and wiping down my own table. -Sandwich was served on a thin paper plate, and you need two hands to pick it up and keep plate from buckling. Would be nice if they either got sturdier plates or stacked a couple to be more supportive. -And lastly, I know this is standard in America now, but I resent the credit card machine suggesting 18+% tip amounts and being asked to tip before any services are rendered. Especially in a place where you order and pick up at a counter and clear your own table after eating. But I tipped anyway because I'm always concerned someone may take out their displeasure on my food. read more

THE BEST! I've spent some time in Paris and didn't think to find an authentic French spot near me. I've always ordered on DoorDash and the food/drinks are delivered perfectly. I love that some of the pastries are mini as well, just as you'd find in a boulangerie. My one caveat is that the bread on the Parisian sandwich is very hard, or maybe I just received a bit of stale bread. Other than that 10/10 read more

I tried the bakery for the first time yesterday and asked for something vegan. They have a vegan muffin, Morning Glory, which I took out and had for breakfast today. It's fabulous and although I'd like more vegan options I know that's hard for a bakery. Also got a baguette and loaf of bread - both great. Bravo! Ginny read more
