Fresh Baguette offering giant croissants

January 26, 2023

Although National Croissant Day is Monday, Bethesda, Maryland-based Fresh Baguette is celebrating a day early to allow guests more to time to try their luck at The Wheel of Croissants.

Guests who make a purchase may spin the wheel to win prizes including a year of free croissants. In addition, this year's prizes will feature a limited-edition giant croissant big enough to feed eight people that is also available for sale, according to a company press release.

Founded by former French Naval officer Florent De Felcourt in 2013, the bakery has locations in Bethesda, Rockville, Georgetown, Alexandria and McLean and runs a wholesale business. To craft its fare, bakers use traditional French techniques: a cold-dough process, homemade "levain" (leaven) and a stone oven imported from France.
