Honestly, I went to this place more than a week ago, but I couldn't really think of anything nice to say so I let it sit, thinking it might get better with time. It didn't. This new addition to Georgetown claims they make fresh baguettes every two hours. They may, but when I went for a "Caprese" sandwich (one of my favorites) the sandwich had been made "sometime that morning" and was on a Ciabatta roll, not a baguette. Which was just weird. Why go to a baguette place if their sandwiches aren't on baguettes? Because the sandwich had been made earlier it was refrigerated, which is not ideal. The late season tomato was flavorless, the pesto forgettable and the mozzarella bland (for not-bland mozzarella, try something locally sourced, which can have a refreshing tang.) I also tried out the croissants but had some communication issues with that. I asked for a chocolate one, and they said I got a free one with my chocolate one, so I selected the almond chocolate one, and ended up with three and charged for two -- a chocolate, almond chocolate and a plain one. They were okay but didn't knock it out of the park. Yes, they fit my criteria of being light, fluffy, flaky and buttery, but the flavored ones contained very little in terms of contents, and the almond one seemed to only have almond slivers on top, with little to no almond paste inside. Bottom line: Didn't impress. Fuggedabowit.
