"This chic North Bethesda jewel focuses on crafting quality, small-batch croissants and other pastries like brown sugar scones, brioche doughnuts, and cookies. The croissant menu covers savory and sweet, ranging from a stuffed ham and Swiss cheese or mushroom truffle to traditional butter, chocolate, and matcha green tea, varieties (plus cruffins). Weekend specials include kouign amann and macarons. A second outpost is en route to McLean, till then the bakehouse is popping up around the neighborhood." - Tierney Plumb
