“I heard about Levain and was in the Bethesda area, so I had to make a stop. As soon as you walk in, you’re hit was amazing smells of baked goods and fresh coffee. The options are simple and straightforward. The staff was all business; get you in and get you out - order and move out of the way.I tried four different cookies. Were they worth the hype? Yes! Absolutely! Maybe some of the best cookies I’ve ever had. At $5 a piece, they’re expensive but worth the cost. I will definitely visit again when in town and look forward to trying other options and flavors. Thanks.“
“Stopped in for the Bogo sale they had and this is such a pleasant store with pleasant employees! I've been getting cakes from them ever since I discovered them a few years ago. This was my first time visiting this location and as always I received great service. I ordered my cakes online and picked them up with ease. The employees even let me know about the new churro bundts that came out this week and I can't wait to try one! I'll definitely be back because these cakes are amazing and they offer tons of flavors. The cakes are also reasonably priced. I got the mini strawberry and crème cake and the mini white chocolate raspberry cake. Super tasty! They offer cakes for holidays, birthdays, and have seasonal flavors. Cute little bakery!“
“Saturday 11/11/2023 The customer service was some of the best I've ever experienced, it was amazing. The woman working was very helpful and enthusiastic in assisting me with what I should order by throughly explaining all the baked items I had questions about. I ended up getting a Cronut $3.50, a glazed donut $1.85, 3 Cinnamon buns $2.50 per bun, and a carrot cake slice $8. The Cronut is a croissant donut and it was definitely my favorite item I got: airy and great texture & taste. I would definitely come back just for this item. The glazed donut was decent but nothing special. The cinnamon buns were what I was most hype for but it ended up being underwhelming: the bread wasn't moist and it had more of a dry/stale taste. The carrot cake slice was surprisingly better than I expected and was pretty good BUT $8 for a single slice is pretty expensive. Overall, my experience was great: amazing customer service with a wide variety of delicious baked goods. I would definitely recommend and return to this bakery.“
“Outstanding organic breads and artisan pastries (Viennoiserie are tops!) make Fresh Baguette a go-to to enjoy exemplary French bakery treats, especially the savory Crogel (croissant sandwiches) and seasonal offerings like the Passion Fruit Croissant (summer) and the Pumpkin Cruffin (hybrid of croissant in a muffin shape during the autumn)! Gary leads a team of very personable and courteous staff that makes the Bethesda location a true star versus the occasionally brusque Rockville spot.Vegetarian options: As with most bakeries, the majority of options don't include meat.Parking: There are 2 spots in front of the bakery with a third one sometimes available and one more that is a temporary standing zone.Kid-friendliness: Wholesome treats that are attractive to burgeoning and refine palates alike!“
