Absolutely amazing experience! I stopped in on Halloween and ordered a few different baked goods — every single one was fresh, fluffy, and so tasty. They had a fun spin-the-wheel event for Halloween prizes, and I actually won a free baguette! Since I’m not from DC, I passed it along to the lady behind me, and she thanked me and mentioned she comes here all the time — which says a lot about how loved this place is.
The Crogel was to die for. I got the Salmon Lox, and it was perfect — the salmon wasn’t overly salty, just smooth and flavorful.
I’d 100% recommend this bakery to anyone visiting from out of town. I always try to avoid tourist traps, and this was definitely not one of them. Everything felt genuine, welcoming, and made with care. I really hope this bakery keeps thriving — it deserves all the love it gets!

I was walking on Wisconsin Avenue and saw Fresh Baguette. I went inside just to look at the pastries. Everything looked so tempting that I could not resist having a lemon meringue tart.
All I can say is that it was pricey, but it was worth every penny.

I recently visited your bakery and appreciated the quality of the pastries. However, I noticed that my purchase was packed with bare hands. I believe pastries should be handled with gloved hands to meet proper sanitation standards. I hope you will consider reinforcing hygienic food handling practices to protect customer health.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is a smaller fresh baguette but the pastries are still delicious. I ordered a mini croissant which is a great size for a sweet craving. It’s probably the first coffeeshop I’ve been at that offered mini sizes! My son can only have alternative milk so the barista made him a chocolate oat milk which was so kind.
They offer an array of pastries and also savory sandwiches. They have all of the different speciality drinks that are popular and classic. The ambience is very inviting and clean.

They have a very nice selection of pastries in a small shop with a couple tables. On top of that, I’ve had an experience with them ordering two raspberry tarts with no sugar. After the order, they called me to warn and ask if it was fine for me to wait another day, because they didn’t have delivery on the day I initially wanted to have it. And because I didn’t mind, they had it ready for me the next day. I enjoyed their polite service on both days. I also, of course, enjoyed the tarts with coffee too. It’s a bit pricey as everything is of good quality.

Fresh Baguette in Georgetown is a small yet mighty bakery on a busy corner off Wisconsin Ave. It is known for its baguettes, which often sell out by noon. However, I would argue that their pastries, and not the baguettes, are the star of the show. The delectable amuse-bouche portion coffee eclairs are heavenly and beg for seconds. With so many wonderful options, you’ll be lost and most definitely gaining some calories (or how I like to call them, happy memories). While the service can be suboptimal, the sweets make up for it. I will not get their sandwiches again though. They lack any type of sauce to offset the razor sharp edges of a baguette. However, for what it’s worth, I think Fresh Baguette does a great job in offering an eclectic range of sweets and bread.

The raspberry croissant was superb! Flaky, buttery, just the right amount of sweet.
Service was quick and the employees were attentive.
Laila was helpful and had great recommendations!

We only got one pastry called French prest/crest and some coffees. Coffee was decent. While the flavor of the pastry was delicious, it was not as soft and fresh as I imagined. Service was quick and good.

Pleasant visit… I asked about the different baguettes and different pastries was given proper attention and a nice attitude. The staff seem to be French as well! Very good baguettes. It actually tastes unique compared to many other “highly rated” bakeries.

Stopped by for the first time and got the Normande tart. It was delicious. I also got a lemon cake, but we’re saving it for later.
The staff was friendly and very helpful. He recommended eating the tart a bit warm to really get the best flavor, and he was right. It tasted amazing.
We ate the lemon cake for dessert, and it was very good.
I will definitely be back to try the other pastries.
