Georgetown Cupcakes Reviews

Great selection of cupcakes. I love the seasonal flavors like banana split and key lime. Usually a long line so be ready to stand outside for awhile before you re able to get in. Well worth the wait but I wouldn t go on a Saturday.

Cupcakes are really good. Order ahead so you don't stand in line for awhile.

Very nice and deserves to stand in line to get delicious cupcakes I tried it with Arabic coffee it was the most beautiful experience

Not worth the price, nor the line. They're not bad cupcakes, but there are 3 or 4 other cupcake shops in the area that make much tastier treats.

I have to admit, despite delicious and unique cupcakes, I was often down on GTC just because of the hype and the ridiculous line. Cue: our wedding disaster. We'd had 75 of their cupcakes delivered to our wedding reception which were accidentally smashed by our wedding coordinator. When it was discovered by my superhero Maid of Honor, friends sprung into action to replace the cupcakes...at 7pm on a SUNDAY. GTC didn't even bat an eye--they put everything else on hold in the shop while refilling our order immediately with what they had on hand. FOR. FREE. Customer service that goes above and beyond like this is almost unheard of these days, and they have earned my business for life!

Pretty decent cupcakes, online the design looked amazing. Unfortunately they way the staff put the cup cakes in the box they decorations we're smushed.

Had a dozen shipped to my mom in Ohio. Mom loved them and they arrived not crushed or melted. Mom said they taste good too :)

*Local Tip: There is almost always a line; order ahead.

Their cupcakes are okay, but definitely overhyped. For the quality, the price is a bit steep (but they need to pay their rent somehow).

Summary: Worth trying, but not as spectacular as everyone makes it seem.

These cupcakes are so good. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Georgetown. There is typically a long line, but it moves fast. Fun fact: the cheesecake cupcake has a delicious graham cracker crust at the bottom.

It was great! The cupcakes there are indescribable they're so good. Great place.

Long lines, bad customer service and just ok cupcakes.

I had a vegan cupcake!
It tasted good.
You might want to try it once.
The lines were long, but they were all coffee makers.

Wasn't worth the wait. We waited 30 for average cupcakes. I had a chocolate frosted vanilla cake cupcake. The cake was dry and the frosting was okay. I have had much better cupcakes in Chicago. If you are ever there, go to Baker Boy's cupcakes or Sweet Mandy B's. They are SO much better. I could have made better cupcakes.

I believe this place is very over rated. Having to wait 30+ minutes on line to get a mini cupcake with no flavor other then the cream topping.

Honestly slightly overpriced not worth a 40-minute wait, but objectively the cupcakes are quite good. Worth a try if you're a fan of the show, but I wouldn't go regularly.

Visiting from out of state and someone recommended this place. They should really update their pick up information on their google page because I showed up and they were only fulfilling Uber Eats orders when it clearly states that they're doing into store orders.

DELICIOUS BAKERY. They have super good pastries i really like their cheesecake and the strawberry cupcake

They are rich, only small for the price. There is usually a long line to order. So sweet

The employees were helpful and quick. They were obviously used to dealing with crowds. We had to take our cupcakes to go because there is almost no place to sit. However, the cupcakes were delicious and the packaging was both cute and effective!

Very long line but good cupcakes. It's on a tlc show so the line is always long

Georgetown cupcakes remain the gold standard of cupcake perfection to me. The consistency of the cake is insanely perfect and the flavors are very high quality.

At first I was bemused to see 3 block long line up at this place. What could be that great about those cupcakes I thought! Ended up buying a dozen different cupcake flavors. There were still a couple dozen flavors left to choose from. And it was a Eureka moment when I took the first bite!

Great cupcakes, get in line early 30 min to close and the line was still down the block

It was good, but it wasn't the greatest thing on Earth that some would have you believe. I've had better from not as famous cupcake shops.

A bit pricey, but the cupcakes and the various flavors are pretty good.

If you walk through Georgetown do not forget to stop by

They're good, but definitely not worth the wait. If you know you're going to be around, do yourself a favor and order online the day before. Skip the line.

Not sure it was worth the ridiculously long line but they were ok.

Short line on a Tuesday afternoon, so I thought I'd see if these were worth the hype. I ordered 1/2 dozen of varied flavors, picked up my box and headed home. When we opened the box, we saw that 3 of the 6 had been put in sideways, so the icing was messed up, and the 2 salted caramel must have been iced while warm becasue the icing had melted off to the side. The flavors were all pretty good (especially lavender tea cake), and the cake very moist, but the icings were a bit too sweet. So, all in all, OK, but if I had been buying them for guests, I would have been REALLY ticked, as 5 were so messed up. Unacceptable for a place with that kind of reputation.

The cupcakes are great! I'd say that if you're going for a plain flavor go somewhere else, but if you want to adventure and not have a typical tasting cupcake this is the place to be. It's worth the money if you're adventurous with your food

Amazing cupcakes. Super addicting and need to stay far far away but I CAN'T. Worth every calorie. Worth every penny.

Icing was good, but the cake itself was very bland. It's an overrated store that's way more hyped due to it being on t.v. Also, the person who helped was not friendly. Smiling faces are a must when working in the cashier position; you're the face of the company, you're who people are interacting with.

I definitely love this place just went there today and got salted caramel and it was amazing would recommend to anyone. I would probably even fly from California to D.C just to get a taste of it

Waiting in that line makes them taste that much better

The line is excessive every day. Even if you order online and are just picking up, they still make you wait in the LONG line. Baked & Wired is around the corner and 1000% better.

Delicious!!! But if you re planning to eat there you should know it s really a small place with 4 tiny tables.

Very cute and yummy cupcakes! Ah they were so delicious.

Really good cupcakes, but I'm not sure waiting in a line out the door was worth it.

If you have patience to wait for wonderful cupcakes it's a great place!

I was the first customer in the store on 3/4/18. I ordered a Red Velvet cupcake and was given a Chocolate Ganache one. Unfortunately since the four cupcakes we purchased were boxed and taped shut before being handed to us, I didn t realize I was given the wrong cupcake until I had already left the store.

Online ordering is a pain. You have to order a day in advance to pick up.

Really poor customer service - didn't have online order ready, even though it was placed days in advance, and were out of some flavored when they finally (and extremely slowly) boxed up the order. Overrated and overpriced - avoid unless you like tourist traps

Always a good selection of cupcakes and rotating specials as well. Get here early on weekends and summers for no lines. I always get here around 10-10:30 am to start off my day in Georgetown.

Lines are usually very long to get some cupcakes!
We were lucky to stop by when the line was short, the cupcakes were some of the best I've ever had. A bit on the pricey side!!

Clean
Great service
Great team chemistry.
They know their product well
Great tasteful Cupcakes; pure happiness!
Clean but not too much area for a lot of seating
Extremely crowded but their system works
Kid friendly
Soft music while you wait
People come across the world to eat these babies and I definitely know why
There's no drive thru service

So my hubby surprised me and brought 6 home today. They are half the size they used to be and were dry very dry...I used to loooove these cupcakes but not soo much now :/

Caramel cheesecake was AMAZING! Highly recommend it. Delicious graham cracker crumb crust.

Unless you're in a hurry to get diabetes I would recommend avoiding this place, cupcakes are painfully sweet. Cupcakes are tiny, yet the prices are not; and let's not speak about the oversized line in order to get some service. Overpriced, overhyped, and utterly dissapointing.

Georgetown cupcakes lives up to the hype. The cupcakes are amazing and they have a huge variety. I would definitely recommend coming here and buying a dozen....or two.

If you come on a weekend, beware of the parking. You have been warned! The line definitely moves quickly but I do recommend pre-ordering if you just want to grab your super delicious cupcakes and find a more quiet place to enjoy them either on your own or with that someone special. Did I mention that they are delicious! Like other premium cupcake locations, the variety of frosting and soft cake definitely make this a place to go to if you're in the area.

This place did not disappoint. I ordered the red velvet and chocolate s'mores cheesecake cupcakes. The chocolate was a little too heavy for my tastes, but that's just a preference. The red velvet was divine, light and fluffy, I loved it.

I know I'm basic for coming here but the line moved quickly and the vanilla cupcake was pretty good. Still think that Sprinkles has the better cupcakes. Or Baked & Wired.

I waked in right before a crowd started to form, so my wait was only one or two people. The prices are high ($3.50/cupcake or $18/half dozen). I ordered a half dozen and found it helpful to write down my choices to show to the clerk rather than trying to remember what I wanted. She seemed to appreciate that. My order was filled, boxed, and ready to go much more quickly than I was expecting.

There are an impressive variety of flavors available, and all of the cupcakes are attractively decorated.

I ordered the following flavors, though there were plenty more:
Chocolate salted caramel
Peanut butter fudge
Red velvet
Chocolate ganache
Black and white
Unicorn (birthday cake with purple frosting and white chocolate unicorn)

I wish the chocolate ganache had had more ganache, but the cupcakes were moist, flavorful, and well thought out. The peanut butter frosting had a strong peanut butter flavor while maintaining a light frosting texture.

We were able to cut the cupcakes into fourths to sample flavors among several people. Six cupcakes were enough dessert for about as many people.

The absolute best place to get cupcakes. So freaking delicious!!!

Probably overrated. They were really good, but there must be other good places with a shorter line. Service was average

I personally LOVE Georgetown cupcakes, but sometimes the staff can be a little cold. They are always accurate and willing to help, just sometimes they aren't as warm as in other retailers.

A trip to Georgetown isn't complete without a cupcake!

Pretty efficient but there was a line. Took about 5 minutes to get thru. Not much seating so expect to take them to go. There were lots of flavors. Were they beautiful? YES. Were they the best ever? NO. They are a little small and a bit dry. Yummy but not killer.

Amazing cupcake loved the show when I was younger best cupcakes in Georgetown

On the way to Marin Headlands, we wanted to have coffee and pastries. This place is a perfect location and offering both coffee (Peet's) and pastries. We got melon pan, taro custard pan, fruit tart, custard tart, chocolate pan, cream cheese pan. All, literally all delicious and they are cheap and authentic. Especially their tarts are so good!

We were lucky not to have queues and find a table to eat these delicious cakes. Very large selection of cupcakes.

Best cupcakes ever, but you have to stand in a long queue

Tasty cupcakes. They made a special Cherry Blossom Festival cupcake that was outstanding. Their chocolate cupcake was good but didn't hold a candle to the Cherry - and I am a chocoholic.

Finally NO LINE.... arrived early and finally went only because there was no line. the place is really small but cute. Will go back only when the line is short. not worth standing in line forever.

Better than NYC's Magnolia! (Yes, I said it!)Perfect sweetness, fresh icing, super delicious and so pretty to look at!

Amazing cupcakes. We watched the show and had to stop in and select a half dozen different cupcakes to try.
