Bethesda’s Fresh Baguette brings bread and sweets to Cleveland Park

By Jeff Clabaugh

Fresh Baguette, whose croissants take two days and 11 steps to make, will open its sixth D.C.-area location on Wednesday, Feb. 21 in D.C.’s Cleveland Park.

Located at 3412 Connecticut Avenue in Northwest, next to Byblos Deli, the bakery will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The original Fresh Baguette opened in Bethesda in 2013. There are other locations in Georgetown, Alexandria, Rockville and McLean.

Fresh Baguette uses only organic ingredients, and makes dozens of varieties of bread. It also makes Viennese pastries, quiches, and prepared sandwiches using its breads, baguettes and croissants.

There is also a coffee club. Its Fresh Brew Club is a coffee subscription for coffee, cappuccinos, iced lattes and others for $9.95 a month. It is a maximum five drinks a day.

“Our team pours their passion for French baking into every creation, and we can’t wait to share our delicious products with Cleveland Park,” said Fresh Baguette founder Florent de Felcourt.

As part of the Cleveland Park opening, Fresh Baguette will sell coupon booklets with all proceeds benefiting the Woodley House Food Pantry.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
