A few weeks ago while I was making my regular pilgrimage to Georgetown Cupcake in Bethesda, I thought I would stop in Fresh Baguette as well. Location-wise this worked out well, as Fresh Baguette is around one block from Georgetown Cupcake.
The inside of this small shop smells amazing, assuming you love the smell of fresh baked bread. And if you don't, then I don't think we can be friends, haha. After looking around at the selection of pastries and breads, I decided to try their chocolate croissant. Chocolate croissants will always remind me of my semester abroad in London - which I know sounds random but stick with me here. I had an internship one day a week while I was in London, and the office had a coffee shop nearby that other employees would frequent for mid-morning breaks. The chocolate croissant became one of my regular picks for these breaks, which sounds dangerously unhealthy to me now, but oh well, haha.
Ok, so back to the chocolate croissant at Fresh Baguette. This was my first time there, so it could have just been luck or good timing, but this croissant I got was warm, flaky, and SO good. The chocolate was evenly distributed which was great- I hate when it's only in the first few bites or off to one side. Even later when I warmed it back up to eat the rest of it, it was buttery and delicious. It may also be worth noting that while I was enjoying my croissant, a few customers came in to pick up special orders - it seems like they have a number of dishes that would be great for parties, or to bring to a dinner at someone's house. I hope to go back to pick up a baguette or another pastry soon!
