Although the place is pricey, it offers delicious authentic French baguettes, croissants, and pastries. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly.

Croissant Plain
The croissants are great but the new hours are horrible. The hour change has made it nearly impossible to come here. The specialty holiday items like pies and cakes are terrible and very much over priced do not get them. Particularly the apple pie in November, worst I have ever had and cost $48. The cakes at Christmas were also particularly bad. But the croissants are the absolute best in town. The baguettes are also very good. This location is also not nearly as good as the one in Alexandria.

Fresh Baguette has the friendliest host/bakery named Francois. He is very knowledgeable in breads/pastries and shows pride in his craft. Their coffees are delicious, as are the hot teas. Their croissants are devine. I've had their butter croissants, almond croissants, and chocolate croissants, all delicious and French authentic! Their small bakery has a seating area. In addition you will find a corner store front with a select option of European cookies, jams, other items. This bakery is well worth the drive to Mclean.

First time visiting in December. Really enjoyed the ham and cheese croissant. Probably the best I have had in the area with Mom and Pop being 2nd. I think it was the italian seasoning on top that was the clincher.
