Georgetown Cupcakes Review

A must stop for my daughter when we visit DC. Be prepared to wait in line for these delicious cupcakes.

Lucky enough to get there without A big line. Very good cupcakes!

If you order online the day before you can walk up to the counter and avoid the long line.

Unmissable cupcake !!
O de with peanut butter cream
That's awesome

OH YES! Recommendations: german chocolate fudge, caramel cheesecake if you're indulging, and coconut if you're looking for something light

Love it! It is a heavy cream. You will only eat one. But is tasty.

Great Cupcakes but the line is annoying. My fiancee loves their red velvet, and the peanut butter cupcake. I only like the red velvet.

a cup cake's delicacy but with long lines to try them

simply delish!! I happened to be in Georgetown early one Friday morning, right before they opened, and only a few people were in line. I joined the line, which moved at a decent pace. I was able to score one of the free #secretflavor cupcakes, which that day was chocolate ganache. My other 3 choices were the cherry cheesecake, lemon cheesecake, and the cherry blossom. I had had the cherry blossom before at a wedding, and was obsessed. The two cheesecake flavors were just out-of-this world good. So they weren't really cupcakes - who cares!!? The graham crust was the shining star of these little gems. My waistline is kind of glad there isn't one of these up in Baltimore, bc I'd be visiting way too often!

Not the best but still pretty good. Expect a long wait of course.

The best cupcakes in Washington, DC!
I love the cookies-and-cream frosting.

A must go when you visit DC. Be prepared for a loooong line of customers waiting for their cupcakes. As seen on TV, they just don't have a delightful look, but they indeed taste like heaven! Please go and try them.

Best cupcakes. Best town. George. You NEED to stop here if you come to DC.

The space is crowded and there are only four tables, which weren't clean. The floor, tables and chairs were full of crumbs. The employees constantly kicked people out for violating the maximum number of people allowed in store. They should have a sign making it clear when it is okay to start lining up inside. The cupcakes I had were a little overcooked, and not as moist as they've been in the past. The flavors, nonetheless, were delicious! I would suggest the managers spend more time on presentation of restaurant as well as kindness towards guests.

$19 for 6 cupcakes but they're 100% worth it. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in the area

Cupcakes are ok. Not sure what all the hype is about. Our local grocery store, Publix has better cupcakes. They also forgot my coffee, even though it was not busy. I would skip this.

These cupcakes definitely lived up to the hype. We are visiting from Buffalo, NY and waited for a half hour in the pouring rain today with no umbrellas to have a taste. We purchased 6 and 4 of us sampled a 1/4 of each. 100% worth every penny and the wait in the soaking rain.

AMAZING CUPCAKES. WORTH THE WAIT AROUND THE BLOCK!!

Very tasty cupcakes. Expensive though!!!
My family and I enjoyed different flavors today. Definitely coming back

Awesome home made cupcakes!! There are many favor of cupcake that you will love it!!

Had to try this very popular place while on a trip to DC. Got a coconut cupcake which was OK and a chocolate banana one which was good. Overall over-hyped.

Really it was the best cupcakes I've ever eaten in my live . The cupcakes are unique and super fresh.The service was great and quick even though they had a long line all the day.

Amazing cupcakes, range of flavors and super fresh! Minimal seating though so if you are going to sit and relax be prepared that there may not be any spots available.

absolutely amazing. standing in line for over an hour sucked but in the end it was worth it. the store is gorgeous and the cupcakes were so delicious. each employee was so pleasant especially dealing with so many crazy cupcake fans.

Price is too high and the cupcakes have suffer on quality over the years

Okay, I stood by my ground for a long time saying Sweet Lobby had the best cupcake in DC. I still think Sweet Lobby's hazelnut chocolate cupcake is the best (especially if you don't like frosting like I do), but Georgetown's Cupcakes are famous for a reason. They are so good! It's worth the line....trust me!

So many people lining up outside the store
The service needs !

Pick the red velvet or the lava fudge. Double milk birthday cake and banana fudge peanut butter are way too sweet. Ice tea is colored water.

Great variety of cupcakes however they should expand the store it's too small

Real classy join and older coue when in to grab some cupcakes and when they came out they found these sweet notes in their bags. After finding the notes they went in to the business and tried to get a refund in which they refused. Sad when the old couple were there admist a pandemic and were supporting their buisness just to be treated like this for wearing a trump hat.

The red velvet was amazing...also try any of the cheesecake cupcakes

I'm not a food expert or have Gordon Ramsey taste buds, I think the Cupcakes are good but honestly it just like any other cakes. Parking sucks but that's just Georgetown.

Awesome cupcakes.. most famous place of Georgetown.. must must visit

The cupcakes are okay, not worth the wait in line for them!

I don't understand what the hype is here. Waited in a long line which was fine but cupcakes were just OK, a bit dry. Cupcake server was grumpy and rude to customers. A 'not sufficiently moist' cupcake is a First world problem for sure. Better cupcakes have been had at my local grocery store.

Must go! I tried their cherry blossom season special and it was to die for!!!

Despite the bitter 12 degree cold weather, ever present long line still existed, which is a testament to the terrific products and sevices offered. Luckily we only waited 5 minutes in line to order. More than 20 choices available, we ordered a 1/2 dozen for $18. Friendly and efficient cashier took our order and expediter had it ready and packed in less than 2 minutes. We each enjpyed our Red Velvet, Peanut Butter Chocolate, and Double Chocolate cupcakes. Overall excellent experience, highly recommend this outstanding local busines.

When got there they were closed. The web page said it is opened. Bcse of cov19 sign was posted outside make an order over the phone. After calling that number no one answered. Just told the hours of operation. Workers were there inside and they didn't bother help customers that waiting outside.

Not just TV show hype. This place was and is still one of my favorite places to get a sweet thank you or thank myself. I wish they would shift around the daily specials as it is hard to make it there during the week to get a taste of some of my favorites when I get a sweet tooth.

Not worth the hype. Stood in line too long for what we got - a cup cake.

Cupcakes are really moist and nice. And they have tons of flavors too!

Line was extremely long in the cold weather. Seems to be a common thing. Not recommended to get at night since they usually only have the cupcakes no one favours left over. Cupcake tasted like cupcake, frosting was a bit too much for me and the sugar did pack a bit of a punch but other than that it's good.

Only a 30 minute wait on a Saturday night. The cupcakes were delicious!

This place makes me so proud to be from DC. Their cupcakes are and always have been phenomal. Also thank you for making my 35th birthday spectacular this year. Despite the pandemic they were able to deliver the most delicious cupcakes to me down the street (still in DC). Looking forward to trying new seasonal cupcakes. Yours Truly, A very satisfied high maitenance Washingtonian.

Best cupcake I have ever had and I am not exaggerating at all.

Cupcakes are sweet. Cute designs but not worth the long and winding line that goes to the next block over.

There is really a line to buy, but it is very fast and if you like cupcakes it is a good option.

I got the cherry blossom cupcake. It was very moist, maybe a tad on the dense side, and still overall good. However, there was nothing special about it. Staff was friendly.

Appreciate the excellent customer service... my daughter ordered Mothers Day cupcakes sent to her Grandmoms and Mother for their special day. The Grandmoms cupcakes arrived on time and in perfect condition; however her Moms order arrived on-time yet melted. Georgetown Cupcakes were right on the situation and sent new delicious cupcakes immediately. Second batch arrived quickly and in great condition!
Highly recommend these yummy treats and the fabulous service!!!

Excellent place to eat some delicious CupCakes in Washington

Sweet, sweeter, sweetest. You get what you expect but the cupcakes are beautiful.

Went there today and closed for filming!! Says open on the website. Not everyone uses social media to get store hours. Flew 700 miles from midwest to see the place and closed!

Don't let the line out the door fool ya, the lobby holds 5 or 6 people in line before you have to line up out the door

Pretty good cupcakes, but Capital City Bakery in Austin blows them out of the water. I also wish Georgetown Cupcake had more vegan flavors.

In the United States, I think it is a good cupcake with low sweetness :) All other customers bought it in boxes.
Originally I couldn't eat cakes, so I ate it so I think it was delicious

Superb Delicious cupcakes worth trying it while on georgetown

Really good cupcakes !
Very nice staff !

I don't even feel like I have to say it, but I'll say it. THESE CUPCAKES ARE SO GOOD.
I will be dreaming of the salted caramel cupcake for the rest of my life. Until we meet again...

Got a half dozen, will rank them:

1. Caramel - salty, oozy, soft and sweet. We each got one. I wish I had 100 more.
2. Vanilla Birthday - everything in the world that tries to be birthday cake flavored is trying to be this.
3. PB Fudge - I didn't eat it, but my boyfriend deemed it worthy. Fudge filled.
4. Chocolate - Dense. Thick. Fudgey. Icing. Hardcore chocolate.
5. White chocolate raspberry - Wildcard I picked out for myself, not my favorite combo. Very raspberry-y, fluffy icing. Good, but not decadant, wouldn't get again.

Why so much rush for these cup cakes..there are similar good ones around.

Possibly the worst service Ive seen in US. No wonder you took away review ability on fb. Were scheduled to deliver no later than 1 pm for celebration. No one was answering, nothing, 2 hours LATER , at 3, they deliver. After we already asked for refund because we bough something else. Refusing to give a refund. Will make sure to post everywhere.

I am very disappointed that they don't have a better system when running out of products..we waited 3 hours only to be told at pick up they were sold out at the time of order very disappointed and we traveled to get them...

I ordered a half dozen from a very nice cashier, then moved to the counter where another employee (not so friendly) packed the order. I noticed she had put the cupcakes into its holders, which hadn't been evenly placed inside the box, then she tilted the box to get into the bag and handed it to me. I was concerned but decided to give her the benefit of the doubt that my cupcakes would be safe. Wrong. After leaving the store I opened the box and this is what I found. I would have been forgiving had these cupcakes tasted amazing, but that too was disappointing. I was about to order online a few dozen for delivery but after this experience, no way. #wasteofmoney

I absolutely love Georgetown cupcakes, they re the only cupcakes I love to eat. I even try to get my friends to buy them, HOWEVER, I ordered 2 dozen, one the April birthday, and one assorted. They messed up my order and sent me the same assorted cupcakes. I paid a arm in and leg because I live in Pa. I tried to reach out, via email and phone. I never received a response, not sure now, if I would ever order them again for delivery, I m very disappointed!

Amazing cupcakes, just give yourself time to wait in line. The earlier you go the more choices they will have.

Decadent chocolate and other delicious flavors. Designs are impeccable. Best on the first day, I do not recommend keeping them longer than a day for the best taste. Lines are long if you don't have a pre order. Wait times can be upward of fifteen minutes. Many choices. Staff aren't too helpful as they're rushed. A bit expensive but worth it. If you keep them overnight, take them out of the fridge 2 hours before eating .

not all its cracked up to be. watch the show. skip the cupcakes
