Baked and Wire Reviews

Why even bother going to those other cupcake places in Georgetown? (You know which ones I'm talking about!) Even with their spike in popularity/line waiting time over the past couple of years, I don't think I'll ever get enough of their cupcakes and coffee. If you're tired of the same old red velvet cupcake, get the seasonal Smurfette (blueberry/lemon) or the Elvis (peanut butter frosting/banana cake/chocolate drizzle) WITH bacon. Definitely worth it.

Good iced chai and a very tasty bacon and cheddar biscuit. Outdoor seating looked sketch but was actually comfortable.

I usually like Baked and Wired because their cupcakes are delicious, and they have a lot of allergy friendly foods. As someone who suffers from an intolerance to wheat flour, this is important to me. Last night I purchased a dozen assorted cupcakes, asking for one gluten free option. When I opened the box at my event, the gluten free option was not distinguished from any of the other cupcakes, and the flavor was different than what was listed on the website. I tried to call the bakery, however when you call you are directed to an answering machine. I sent an email to determine which cupcake was actually the gluten free cupcake, and received a response after the event was over at 10 pm. This could have been avoided had the bakery 1. added a distinguishing marks on special cupcakes (perhaps a different color parchment paper), or 2. put the special cupcake in a separate box from the other cupcakes.

Great spot right next to where we were staying! Absolutely loved the Atmosphere and the coffee! Also got a carrot cake cupcake which was delicious! Would definitely recommend this spot and be can't wait to come back! Thank you!

The cupcakes I got were really dry and the #hype didn't live up to the experience

This place is cute and all but the cupcakes are way too overrated. Too sweet and sugary. Nothing too outstanding. The staff wasn't helpful at all. We entered the shop and was trying to figure out what to get.. and we told them that it was our first time and that we were clueless. The women there said ok. Thats it.

Good coffee and great cupcakes. The dirty chai latte is a nice combo of coffee and spiced tea. It makes for a funny joke on my cup too

The strawberry cupcake is one of the best I've ever had. They have a bunch of other cupcakes and cookies in stock and wonderfully displayed. When you walk into this place there are two paths; one, to the right for coffee and two to the left for the sweets. Typically the line is for the sweets, so go to the front and see what the line is for - as the coffee tends not to be the longer line. The only ding on this place is their seating inside. It's dark, cramped and feels forced. It's not the type of place where you will hang out for too long - and I semi think it was designed that way.

Always feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @joerazz

The Best Cupcakes in DC! Great traditional espresso drinks-- try the cortado! Everything here is top notch. If only there were more seats.

You want your DC Cupcake -- go here. This place actually serves you a cupped cake and it's glorious. The knowledge is quickly growing and the line has been getting longer and longer. But if you are here for a cupcake it's worth your wait. Protip: there are actually 2 lines, one for cupcakes and one for coffee... if you are interested in the latter you can most likely skip the line.

I didn't think I'd like this place's sweets as much as I did. Very tasty OMG bar.

Cupcakes are super moist and tasty! Stop here every time I m in Georgetown!

Where us locals go when we want outstanding cupcakes. Not too much icing on top. Huge variety of flavors/creations. Not to be missed.

Not sure why the craze for this. The chai latte was average, espresso was good. Cupcakes were okay. It's all good but not sure why the crazy is all

Cupcakes are fantastic and flavorful. Chai with espresso frosting is excellent. Delicious coffee on the other side of the wall too. Wished they shipped!

I tried Georgetown cupcakes and if could only get one cupcake if I were ever to return to DC, I'd come here

There's a reason there is a line down the street each weekend afternoon. Its the best coffee in DC. Crowds can be annoying so get there early if you're going on a Saturday or Sunday.

Went to the coffeehouse (which had absolutely no line, whereas the bakery side was packed), and immediately spotted a coffee that I've never seen before: the tallat (which is apparently a fancy Catalan way of saying a cortado). So of course I had to get that.

It was one of the best coffees I've had in the DC area. Just the right amount of bitterness from an espresso, with flavors heightened through the thin layer of warm milk. It didn't leave you feeling bloated like a latte would, yet it didn't dampen the wonderful coffee flavors of an espresso.

Would definitely recommend this place (specifically the tallat) for anybody looking for a bit of a coffee adventure in the District.

Delicious cupcakes, gluten free options, friendly staff

The cupcakes are delicious and larger than Georgetown Cupcakes or Sprinkles so you get more for your money. And the flavors are very creative. My only issue is with the ice tea. It's overpriced and tastes weird. Also, they don't offer lemon. Not cool.

Always Amazing Cupcakes and delicious teas and coffee drinks. Please add more vegan items in additional to the vegan cupcake.

Personally if you are looking for cupcakes at the Georgetown area, you must try here. I had pistachio cupcake, it s not too sweet yet flavorful. Sitting at their outside area, enjoying the cupcake scenic neighbor is super relaxing.

nice spot for handcrafted coffee and tea, try dirty chai and quiche

Better than any of the other cupcake and bake shops in the area. Hidden jem. The key lime pie is delicious.

These are the best cupcakes in DC in my opinion. Bigger cupcakes for your money with a much wider and creative array of flavors. The Tessita (yellow cake with chocolate icing and dulce de leche filling) is my go-to, or the strawberry (made with real strawberries!) if you aren t in the mood for a cupcake but want something sweet, they also have biscottis, cookies, and an assortment of other creations the beesting is a good salty/sweet alternative. Coffee is also available!

Definitely the best cupcakes in DC, you can tell they use good ingredients. Love their birthday cakes too, but it would be good if they catered to custom cake designs. You will find long lines on the weekends.

Went to have a quick bite
Lady who helped us was less than friendly but cookie I had was great and maybe she was just having a not so good morning so all and all
I would go back

Cupcakes are ok, nothing special. Very crowded on weekends. Good place for people who dont have kids since it can be very congested in their.

You want this Pumpkin Pie Whoopie! Here are some adjectives: soft, moist, sticky.

So I have to say I was SUPER disappointed that there was a line out the door for cupcakes on Saturday... this used to be a more off the beaten path location. However when I lived in DC it was by far my favorite cupcake destination. It's a heavy, moist cake with decadent frosting, unlike the competition up on M street (you know who I mean) which has smaller and fluffier cupcakes.

Hands down the best. I miss them so...

This place is delicious. If you happen to be lucky enough to find a spot on one of the couches inside, it's just a great place to have a cupcake and a cup of tea.

Great Coffee, Delicious Cupcakes, Friendly and Helpful Staff!

Georgetown Cupcakes is to tourists what Baked and Wired is to DC locals. Hands down DC's favorite cupcake. This location is off the Georgetown canal on a side street and beautiful. One side sells pastries and dozens of cupcakes. They are much bigger than Georgetown Cupcakes and they come in a wax paper wrapping. On the right side of the store is a coffee shop selling excellent coffee. In the back, they have art and seating to enjoy your cupcake and coffee. The only downside is they don't have wifi so don't come here to work. Come for the cupcakes!

The cupcake wars are apparently on in Georgetown. While we did not try Georgetown Cupcakes (due to the line out the door like some posh night club) the popularity and appeal of this sweet-shop cannot be overlooked. There was a large selection of sweets in addition to cupcakes included brownies, cookies and pies. The baked goods were excellent, layered with flavor and thick with substance. The distracting quality of the baked goods was the poor performance by the coffee counter on the opposite side of the shop. The lattes we tried to force down were of the quality and taste somewhere between a Starbucks Latte and McCafe Latte. This said, go for the baked goods then walk the canal to Dean & Deluca's for your latte.

All the cupcakes are amazing, they have a large selection of delicious cupcakes...Well, the staff are very nice. They are very organized during this Covid 19 pandemic. Good customer service. Will definitely recommend this shop.

Some of the best cupcakes I have ever had! Mint oreo cupcake was amazing.

A hip coffee stop off the beaten path in Georgetown featuring standard drinks and house made baked goods. Stop in for their 420 specials.

Delicious and amazing selection of sweet treats! There are so many wonderful cupcakes and biscuits to choose from. It would be great if they did mini versions of variety packs of the offerings so you can sample a tasting of a few types!

This place has THE BEST cupcakes (albeit expensive) in D.C. Atmosphere is pretty friendly and trendy. Great for anyone.

They have a really good selection of flavors and always seem cheery when I show up, though this is only the second time I have been there. Highly recommend if you are having some kind of office function where you need desserts.

Best cupcake and coffee experience i have ever experienced. Definitely ask the staff for help with the cupcake flavors, each one essentially has its own story!

Only one vegan option, the Oreo cookie cupcake. It was delicious!!!

Amazing and Big cupcakes!!! Coffee is great as well.

Yes! This joint has the cupcake game on lockdown. Wait times can be long with a line forming outside (order ahead on Grubhub maybe) but it s certainly worth the wait! Friendly service too, & once you re inside and have placed your order, you do get it quickly.

Amazing cupcakes! I ve never had such a perfectly moist cupcake. My husband isn t a cake fan so I just got one and he ended up eating half of mine...they re that good!

The cupcakes here taste good and are much bigger than the competitors' in Georgetown. Baked and Wired cupcakes are the most reasonably priced cupcakes in Georgetown. When I came a few weeks ago, I saw a couple who had just bought cupcakes from a different shop come in to buy more cupcakes at Baked and Wired and comparing the sizes.

They make the best baked good in all of D.C. hands down. And the prices here are very reasonable and they have an awesome menu selection. The staff here are totally great too.

One of the unique place. Love the muffins and brownies here.

Overcrowded and probably overpriced but truly delicious baked goods. I also love the decor and in particular the art they had on the walls when I was there last week. The cupcakes are too big for me personally but they are so so good and beautiful presentation. Moist and delicate and omnomnom. I would recommend this as a cute spot to stop by before an early movie, though they close too early for it to be much of an evening destination. Cute!

So much better than that celebrity cupcake store up the street. I promise you.
These cupcakes are beauuutiful.

This place is amazing! The selection is incredible, the cupcakes are divine. They re huge, moist and delicious with creative names and flavors. The quiche is also delicious. Highly recommend.

Just be aware that the lineups can get down the street!

The baked goods on the coffee/drinks side are also delicious and usually a lot shorter wait.

Simple delicacies is how I'm going to describe these cupcakes. For us in a pandemic, the queue was long but well worth it. I can see that it was amazing here. The food they had was great. So tasty, man. It's really new produce. It's highly recommended.

I had the strawberry cupcake and the chocolate with vanilla frosting cupcake. They were both so good!! They are a really good size for the price too. So glad we went here instead of Georgetown cupcake.

AMAZING cupcakes. On a Sunday afternoon, there was a bit of a line but it moved very quickly. Will go again if ever in the area.

Had the vegan oreo cupcake and it was good but a little too sweet

Probably the best cupcake I've ever had. I'm not much of a cupcake person, and my partner isn't either. However, we agreed that this is a delicious cupcake after trying the red velvet - a classic. Frosting isn't overdone, and it definitely is large enough to share even if you don't want to give it up!

This place is off the hook. As a long time washingtonian I grew up on birthday cakes from safeway. As a child i wasn't concerned about all of the bad ingredients in the cake. It was a cake....it was sweet and it was my b-day. Since then i have tried various bakeries throughout the dmv. Baked and Wired is by far the best. My favorite is the carrot cake. You can order online and have it delivered or schedule a pick up. However you get it........get it.

Great non chain place for baked good and coffee with a variety of espresso beans which is fantastic...and they DON'T burn the beans!!!

Maybe I had my hopes too high based on the reviews, but I think they're average. They are way bigger in size for about the same price as other places- which is a big plus. The employees weren't very friendly either, and seemed inconvenienced to answer questions about the flavors. 420 gear is cool

My favorite bakery I come from so far to get many treats

My dad used to take me here as a kid, and I always thought they were better than Georgetown Cupcakes.

I had the opportunity to visit again as an adult. Their Great Pumpkin cupcake is the best I have ever had. I can't imagine another bakery making one better. I cannot wait to dive into the rest of the box.

I love this spot. When I lived in the city I went there everyday before work. It's a shame there isn't wifi. But the pastries and beverage options are great.
