Fresh Baguette
1737 Wisconsin Ave. NW
Fresh Baguette is a Bethesda-based bakery mini-chain with a new outlet on Wisconsin Avenue. It promises a very French approach to everything from the mainstay bread loaf of the name — promised fresh every two hours — to stuffed rolls, pastries and sweet treats like madeleines, meringues, brownies and cookies. What's more, you'll also find Peet's coffee and a short sandwich menu.

Yelper Claudia A. wrote, "This is one of the best spots to grab coffee and fresh bread. It smells delicious every morning, and the staff is amazing."
Fresh Baguette is open from 7 a.m.–7 p.m. daily.
Café Georgetown
3141 N St. NW
Café Georgetown is both coffee shop and wine bar, located in a brick row house. The coffee is from Philadelphia-based roasting company La Colombe Coffee. Pair it with one of the many pastries and sweet treats on offer. Later in the day, check out the wine list, and enjoy it in the lounge area with skylights.
With a five-star rating out of five reviews on Yelp, Café Georgetown has been getting positive attention.
Alessandra M., who reviewed the new spot on Oct. 27, wrote, "I tried a few different drinks and pastries, and everything was amazing. I have always liked La Colombe coffee, and it was interesting to see that they offer different types of vegan/dairy-free milks."
Café Georgetown is open from 7 a.m.–8:30 p.m. on weekdays, 7:30 a.m.–9:30 p.m. on Saturday, and 8 a.m.–9 p.m. on Sunday.
Reverie
3201 Cherry Hill Lane
Reverie is a high-end New American spot with an open kitchen and minimalist design. Chef Johnny Spero, whose resume includes Minibar, Komi and Columbia Room, has opened the ingredient-focused fine dining restaurant five years after his first attempt at the helm, Suna, closed. Washington City Paper reports.
I features a fine dining menu, with ingredients like wild allspice, caviar and dried scallops, plus specialty cocktails and French wines. However, you'll also find a Midwest-style "smashburger" topped with miso-pickled cucumbers, smoked special sauce and cheddar.
Reverie currently holds four stars out of nine reviews on Yelp, indicating good reviews.
Yelper Allen M. wrote, "The menu and cocktail program is innovative and delicious. This is my new favorite restaurant in D.C."
Reverie is open from 5 p.m.–10 p.m. on Tuesday-Saturday. (It's closed on Monday and Sunday.)
Susheria
3101 K St. NW
Finally, Susheria is a new Japanese-Peruvian restaurant. It replaces Maté Lounge in the same location and is from the same owners.
At the core of the menu is the mix of Peruvian and Japanese cuisines known as Nikkei. The fusion is evident in maki combos like white fish, cancha corn, sweet potato and leche de tigre sauce, or strip steak with red pepper and chimichurri. There are also Japanese rice bowls that feature Peruvian lomo saltado or chile-and-honey chicken.
Susheria's current rating of four stars out of 23 reviews on Yelp indicates the newcomer is finding its way, but it's still early days.
Yelper S M. wrote, "The restaurant is very well decorated and is definitely a nice spot for a group birthday dinner or date night. The service was quick and courteous, and the sushi is good."
Susheria is open from 11 a.m.–11 p.m. on Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.–midnight on Friday and Saturday.
