Baked and Wire Reviews

In a town full of famous bakeries, this place stands out. The cupcakes were moist and flavorful and the frostings were light and creamy. I kind of gave up on cupcakes recently due to so many encounters with dry over sweatened desserts, but these cupcakes totally nailed it! We also picked up a few cookies, each were excellent! Will have to make his place a routine stop whenever I m in Georgetown!

Spectacular variety of yummy cupcakes, cookies, brownies and other assorted baked goods. The coffee was probably the best I had during the week I was in D.C.

The best cupcakes I have ever had!! They have so many flavors and the line is fast!

Baked & Wired has become a bit of a tourist spot but I'll still wait in line for some of the best pastries and coffee ever. Fun staff and such a creative selection of baked goods!

Best cupcakes in DC, hands down. I hear the coffee is good too, but seriously: BEST CUPCAKES IN DC.

Great place for cupcakes. Wide variety and an obvious favorite of the community because it's constantly packed. Maybe not great for trying to find seating but definitely worth a visit and a follow-up visit.

Inaccurate online menu, long line to figure that out, unfriendly staff, and dry $5 brownie. The latte was nice though! We won't be back.

I just love the coffee and their baked goods...taste amazing!

Ughhhhhhh delicious amazing cupcakes. Great coffee.

Great cupcakes. Definitely better that'll Georgetown Cupcakes. Very sweet though. One was definitely enough. I had the Razzmanian Devil, bite of heaven. The iced coffee was good, but I've had better.

Always busy, but the wait is worth it. Best cupcakes in DC.

Seating is very limited, that's the only downside I can think of.

I really loved their cupcakes! They are huge and a piece of heaven compared to the Georgetown cupcakes.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon after a boat tour. There are separate lines for coffee and cupcakes, but both were only about 5min.

1. Cherry blossom cupcake (seasonal), 3.5
vanilla cake with maraschino cherries mixed in the batter and topped with a cherry-flavored buttercream
~Pretty good. I liked the cherries, and I thought the frosting wasn't too sweet. I'd probably get the strawberry if I come back.

2. Chai latte
~Okay. I'm not a huge fan of chai, but it was pretty good and on the stronger side.

Service was fast, but there's no wifi.

Always busy, but for good reason - very tasty products, and right near the waterfront. It's worth the line.

Finally got to visiting this place over the weekend, and while the lines were shorter than their overrated competitor down the road, their cupcakes are far superior. That said, one person on their wait staff was dismissive and appeared annoyed when asking what teas they had. I chalked this up to being a classic DC experience for my niece who visited from out of town.

I love the fact that it s clean, I GET OUT IN A TIMELY MANNER, and I m greeted with a good attitude and not some moody teenager like the ones at the Woodbridge location.
10/10 recommend going to this Bakery on your way to work in the mornings!

Great sized cupcakes and loved the selection. Some of the flavors are kind of miss the mark though

Awesome selection of delicious cupcakes, and very good coffee! Efficient line, too. You come in and line up for a cupcake and either pay for it right away or stand in line for coffee on the other side to pay for both later. This place is clearly popular but the wait was short for how many people were lined up.

Really good cupcakes and bars. Came to Georgetown to try the other place and when we asked for directions from Alexandria this place was recommended. Got on the METRO and met other locals and they recommended the same so we had to try both they were by far the best with 20 minute shorter wait. The others were pretty but you don't eat pretty

Very disappointed with the ice cream sandwich. It was Frost bitten . I could tell that it don t taste fresh at all . Waste of $6.00 !

Cool and engaging atmosphere for a louging-chat encounter.

Best cupcakes in georgetown handsdown. Their vegan cupcakes are SO good.

Forget Georgetown Cupcakes! All the locals know that Baked and Wired is THE spot for desserts. Which is unfortunate. Because the line can be looong. But it's always worth the wait. The cupcakes are not too sweet and have the perfect frosting to cake ratio, and they provide a cool and ever changing variety of flavors. All the other cookies, bars, pies, etc. are also perfection. Coffees are quite good too. Dont expect to stay there to eat, though, the shop is small and almost always packed. Get your goodies to go and enjoy them down by the waterfront.

In my personal opinion the cupcakes here are better than the "other one". I just wish there was more seating.

Delicious cappuccino. The best coffee I had in Washington

The cupcake and the chocolate marshmallow bar was very sweet for me. The mocha I had was pretty average. I am giving 3 stars for the place and ambience which was good.

Once you get through the line, takes way too long to place an order and pay. The process seems designed to be slow. Their pastries and cakes are standard fare.

Great pastries, better than average coffee (black Americano is what I can attest to) for the area.

One of the best cupcakes I ve ever had. They have lots of options and nice seating/atmosphere. I highly recommend!

Cupcakes are pretty good, but I special ordered a birthday cake that was very disappointing. It was Very dense with giant bubbles in the frosting and tasted stale. When I complained, I was told that the cake was fresh and that I must not have had "traditional style" cakes before!
To their credit, they did refund my money, but the birthday party was still ruined. We ended up throwing out the cake as no one wanted to eat it.
I'd stick with their cupcakes.

Amazing cupcakes - mine tasted like it was homemade with love

Love it! A very good place for chit chat over coffee and the cookies are excellent. When I go to George town I make it a point to go there for quick coffee and the best oatmeal cookie.

Coffee was solid but what kind of coffee shop doesn't have WiFi specially when the seating area is a massive dead zone. If you need the internet to get work done, don't come here. Either that or set up in the bar stool area in the front near the door.

My family and I were told that this place was better than Georgetown cupcakes. Not so! The strawberry cupcake I got here did not measure up to the lava fudge cupcake from Georgetown cupcake!

Always the perfect end to a day of shopping in Georgetown. My friends and I came here today and I tried the vegan cupcake. It was incredible! I'm not vegan, but my friend said it was delish and boy was she right. I usually think cake bread it bland, but this was so rich and there are choc chips in the cake bread itself. Not to mention its exquisite Oreo frosting. (I also learned Oreos are vegan btw).

Amazing cupcakes, generously sized and good value for money. I had the strawberry cupcake and the frosting on it is to die for. The queue was long when we arrived, but it moves quickly. This is helped by a separate counter at the back of the shop which serves beverages, meaning that each counter can focus on one aspect of the business. There is limited seating but high turnover, so you don't have to wait long to get a seat. There wasn't space to sit when my friend and I got our cupcakes, but by the time I had gotten my tea, there were a number of seats freed up.

The customer service was awful! We came on a Friday night and waited in line outside for about 20 minutes. Not a problem until we entered into the bakery. The woman who was taking orders continued to bark at customers to stay in a single line and wait outside as it was a fire hazard for people to wait inside. It would have been better to have a sign on the door and a rope partition provide to direct customers. This woman appeared like she hated her job and by the time we met her to take our order half of the desserts were no longer available . The fact that she had to verbally tell us what was no longer available appeared to exacerbate her bitchyness. Again if a sign was placed of what items were no longer available while we waited outside It would have been better for everyone. As we looked about at what was available the woman scoulded at us and asked us if we had made up our minds already! Annoyed about the entire experience we abruptly left.

Big selection of great cupcakes, I would consider them as cakes that is shaped like a cupcake as they are big. They have a verity of baked goods as well which changes daily/weekly. The staff are really nice and will help guide you when seen to be lost choosing. The atmosphere is funky for a cupcake shop and not so "refined" which gives it a nice unique vibe to the shop. Unfortunately wasn't as impressed with the coffee section as the coffee wasn't as expected. Must try for cupcake junkies.

Awesome Coffee, Dirty Latte is great, and good espresso

Hands-down, my favorite coffee/bakery in DC! Lines get quite long on the weekend afternoons, but head over during the week, and you'll get that local coffee shop feel. You have to try the ice cream sandwiches in the summer, and the pumpkin donut muffins in the fall/winter. Love chilling on the comfy couches, or sitting outside when it's warm, with your feet hanging over the canal. Great food, both sweet and savory, great coffee, and great atmosphere.

This place is pretty cool, they have a massive selection of creative baked goods. If you want they'll put your coffee in a real cup which is quite nice. My espresso was burnt, but apparently that's not a common problem. The bacon chive and cheddar biscuit was incredible. I definitely recommend this place for breakfast or an after dinner cupcake.

My gf and I are always ordering the cakes from here! For about $8 you are really satisfied and full! The service is quick and the cakes are amazing. Never have a problem when I go there.

A bit expensive but fun to visit. During the pandemic, still well managed

These cupcakes are the truth! Homemade huge and good is how I would describe these. If you don't plan your visit you will be standing in a quick moving 20 minute line to get one if these delicacies. But the line speaks of how good they are. The German chocolate is the truth! I also enjoy the strawberry, pistachio, and carrot cake cupcakes.

Must visit. Good latte. Good biscotti. Industrial atmosphere. What else do you need?

Love love love everything about Baked & Wired. The long is almost always down and around the block and for good reason. The coffee and baked good are in competition to see which is more amazing. They always tie and I'm always the winner.

Of these places people make queue and you do not know why. Antipathic, expensive and stack quality. It's not worth going there.

Haven't had any of the cupcakes yet, but I've been here a few times for coffee and it is always great.

Loved the vegan oreo cupcake. It took some deep breathes to finish it because it's enormous, but great!

Cool little place with a relaxed atmosphere. We ended up bringing a dozen cupcakes back to AZ with us when our visit to VA had ended!

Best of everything, food, coffee, teas, & atmosphere! I have tasted several baked items & no disappointments .So nice to have a place where everything is fabulous.

Love their cupcakes. Pretty Bitchin' and Razmanian Devil are my favorites. There typically is a bit of a wait, but it is well worth it!

Always the MVP of cupcakes. I wish they would do the Cherry Blossom cupcake year-round. Out favorites are Uniporn & Rainho, carrot cake, and red velvet.

The spinach and feta quiche was light and fluffy! And coffee was so good. I love the atmosphere.

Great coffee and pastries. No matter what time of day it is, get a cupcake!

Amazing cupcakes, and fun, relaxed atmosphere. Comfortable furniture to hang out on while you eat these truly unique desserts.

Best cupcakes in DC!! Or should I say cakecups?! Cookies are fantastic too.

My day starts when I have my muffin and coffee from Baked & Wired. Everything taste amazing here and the menu prices are super reasonable too.

Came here once and asked is there any cup cake that is not so sweet. The sales clerk just smiled.

The queue was a long one but the cup cakes are adequate. Fancy names and lot of different coffee choices. Pretty normal cupcakes.

Nice place to chill with friends as you enjoy great coffee. These guys have amazing coffee at really inexpensive prices. I m so glad I found this place. My go-to coffee shop.

Personally, I think Baked and Wired makes better cupcakes than Georgetown Cupcakes (way overrated). The "wired" side has good coffee, and nitro cold brew. The baked side has unique cupcakes and a host of yummy baked goods. Definitely try the Beesting. Sooo good!

Great Place, Really Big and Delicious Cupcakes Of All Georgetown. They Even Have Vegetarian Cupcakes and Cookies Of All Kind. The Lounge Is Very Relaxing and Full Of Art From Local Artists. There Is Even A Wall Were If You Are Also Feeling Artsy You Can Pin Up A Napkin Art Of Your Very Own. I Rate This Place With 4 Stars Because The Coffee Even Tho It Tastes Great, The Cup Sizes and Togo Cups Are Not That Great. They Are Size Small and Are Almost As Expensive As A Starbucks Coffee.

Coffee was great, good options for seating arrangement. Can't wait to try 'baked' side stuff.

It's like George town cupcakes with a smaller price tag and shorter line. The food is great too.

Great place in an excellent setting... Good use of space and a pleasure to enjoy the delicious food and coffee here. Very special ambience for sure. Highly recommend a visit.

It has the most delicious and beautiful cupcakes I've ever seen!

Had some cider, coffee and lemon blueberry cake and it was all amazing....I would definitely go back.

Lovely neighborhood coffee shop with freshly made food and baked goodies

Decent latte, super packed with no good waiting area. Just felt in the way. However, there cupcakes looked AMAZING.

As a first timer was not only smitten by the wonderful sweets but also the most patient counter server. Great Job!

Excellent cupcakes. Tons of unique flavors to choose from, like the "Elvis jailbird cupcake" (banana bread, pb, & bacon). Fast service and fairly priced.

No visit to DC is complete without a visit to Baked&Wired.

Baked goods are all handmade and small batch- velvety icing and dense cakey awesomeness. There is also a coffee bar adjacent-place orders separatley.

The food&bev is a solid 5/5 star but the interior is very minimalist. There is limited seating, but given the amount of people who come here they manage to keep the quality and taste to a high standard which is what matters most to me. Not a place to go and study. There's often a line (not as long as Georgetown Cupcakes) but they serve people very quickly. They had one vegan cupcake option at time of posting- Oreo icing and Chocolate cake- dense and delightful!
