Peanut butter fudge was good but was very dry like someone left them in the oven to long or missed an ingredient the chocolate one was heaven in my mouth loved it loved it cant wait to go back

Stopping at Georgetown Cupcake in DC is a must. Along with many flavors they even cater to gluten-free customers.Enjoy a cupcake while watching the process from start to finish behind their glass wall

Very common to find a line of customers flowing out of the door & Sometimes a camera crew. The cupcakes are AMAZING! Daily flavor swaps & free give aways Via Twitter. Mint cookies and cream are yum!!

The fascination with this cupcake shop is for a reason. I ordered a dozen cupcakes(none chocolate) for a birthday & did not go wrong at with substituting these for a cake. The pricing is worth it.

Expect a 20-30min wait and limited seating inside. Salted caramel and red velvet cupcakes were delicious! Very fluffy frosting and delicious cakes

The best cupcakes of the States!! You have to taste at least one if you visit D.C.! One weak point: not a lot choice of hot beverages
🔹Maria L🔹April 6, 2015
Totally worth the 40min wait- mocha fudge, peanut butter fudge, chocolate, redvelvet ans today's special Cherry Blossom and Cherry Cheesecake!!
Aaron SmithMay 13, 2015
Check their Twitter page for the free cupcake of the day. It's never on the menu. White Chocolate Raspberry was awesome! Worth the wait.
AlesoOctober 8, 2014
You have to try the seasonal cupcake, butterscotch and carrot are quite tasty, red velvet and chocolate are yummy #cravingformore

A must try in DC, 3 cupcakes for one person are more than enough, I loved the chocolate coconut one.

The FOTD was Lemon Blueberry & decorated for Shark Week. Huge blueberries. More like a breakfast muffin. So worth the line (in rain) Loved the choc. coconut.
Minna SoOctober 28, 2013
the frosting makes the cupcakes good. make sure to go before lunchtime to beat the long line! be sure to follow them on twitter to know their free flavor of the day!

I love this place! I have both their books and have yet to make a bad cupcake. Tasting the real thing was much better! Get there at least a 1/2 hour before opening to avoid a long wait.
Gerardo RQOctober 14, 2013
You're gonna LOVE the Red Velvet cupcake is delicious, and the cupcakes of the season (October🎃) the Pumpkin Cheesecake cupcake is amazing!, and if you're lucky you could say Hi to Sophie & Katherine

Perfectly formed. Lovely to look at. Delicious to eat. Elaborate, sweet, and often decadent, cupcakes are delightful treats that spark the inner child within us. cccccccc Read more

Gluten free chocolate lava was the best cupcake of my life and I haven't been GF very long! They are using some serious high quality chocolate in this place! Highly recommend!
💜July 8, 2017
Can't imagine how long the line outside the shop but it's come fast, and the taste is good i like "germane chocolate cupcake" the most!
Patrick McDermottJune 26, 2012
The best cupcakes in town that I've tried so far. The best part about them is that the cake itself is just as delicious, if not more so than the icing. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

This place was great ,was a line up the sidewalk and I still only waited 10 minutes! Plan on getting a dozen they come well packed in a box with dividers and you will want some cupcakes for later!
EricJune 4, 2015
Literally the best cupcake I've ever had in my entire life. Get the marble brownie cheesecake cupcake
dawn.in.newyorkJanuary 26, 2015
The amazing cupcake shop's original location. I ve had two early grey cupcakes cuz its just so good.
Yasaman MahdianAugust 16, 2019
It’s good but not to the expectations considering the hype! If you are in the area give it a go. A bit too sweet for my taste. The ones with the ganache win in my opinion.
AbbyJuly 19, 2016
A must hit when visiting Georgetown! Get any of the cheesecake flavors they are to die for!
Katie S.February 14, 2015
Skip the line, go to Baked & Wired, so you can hang out on the couch, have espresso, a quiche, and above all, a much better cupcake
luke reynoldsSeptember 1, 2013
Try the vegan option. Different flavor each day of the week. All are great and cruelty-free...even better than the non vegan options!
Yasir AlmukhlifiFebruary 15, 2018
The best cupcake i have tried in the town so far,I strongly recommend Red Velvet.
Ruth LaToison IfillAugust 16, 2016
The line is long at times, but it moves fast. Service is subpar when dealing with minority customers. Cupcakes are delicious!
RouaaaJuly 17, 2018
Best moist cup cakes you would ever taste in your life ❤️ try the salted caramel cupcake and the coconut cupcake ❤️
Heather ADecember 2, 2012
If you are gluten-free and want to enjoy a cupcake at Georgetown Cupcakes make sure to call ahead. It's no fun to wait in the long lines and leave empty handed.
SuwmaSeptember 25, 2015

RJAugust 21, 2014
loved the cup cakes ! it's kinda like regular ones that you make at home but the cream is different which is delicious 🎂💗
Agatha ViernesSeptember 4, 2012
Lots of cupcake girls not helping customers as the line built up... BUT as I bit into my Lemon Blossom cupcake all that annoyance melted away! Incredible cupcake! Flavor > pretentiousness!
Michael LucasJanuary 24, 2013
This place is very popular for a reason – incredible cupcakes. Don't go in the early evening since it's packed, go earlier or later at night and you won't even need to wait in line.
Markus TarjamoNovember 20, 2015
Very tasty cupcakes and pretty easy to get to. Can be very crowded, so be prepared to wait in line.
Kevin KigerDecember 3, 2012
Seriously? Waiting in line in the rain for a cupcake? Non. There's a Paul bakery on Wisconsin with much more delicious treats. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
E 🤍June 19, 2016
Nice selection of cupcakes with cute frosting💕 but honestly it's not worth to wait for a long time in the line..
Samantha CastagnaMarch 28, 2013
Better than Sprinkles! Definitely try their chocolate hazelnut cupcake! But beware, there was a line down the block and it took 45min to get in
SaeedMay 5, 2018
unbelievable cupcakes, great verity, amazing tastes, sooooo fresh👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Simone JungDecember 14, 2015
The vanilla with chocolate frosting was delicious, but I had the cheesecake cupcake and that blew my mind.
Waleed 🇸🇦December 19, 2015
One of DC's important places,but you should expect long line of waiting. Have to try salted caramel cupcake.

They have different cupcakes for each day of the week, and also a seasonal one, carrot and butterscotch are quite tasty...
Stacy AdamAugust 9, 2010
Three words: Worth the wait. So good, you won't be disapointed. And don't believe the rumors, it's not $10 for a cupcake, it's only $2.75, which is less than the $3 most cupcake places are charging.
Jason H.May 10, 2015
Extremely rich frosting. Huge variety. Neat place to visit. Don't buy too many though. You will eat them all.
Nick CampionDecember 8, 2014
Wow! Red Velvet and the free Super Secret (follow them on Twitter)
Luke CardyDecember 27, 2015
The cupcakes look really lovely but we were hugely underwhelmed by the taste of them. They were ok but did not match the hype. The staff on the register were a little rude to queuing customers
Miles FawcettJuly 16, 2016
Get in line .. Often a long line. Or for an as good (some would say better) cupcake try Sprinkles down the street
Levell BaltimoreJuly 10, 2012
Red velvet and lemon blossom are the best! If your weight is a concern never come here cause you will not be able to stop eating...;)
Katie WillardJune 21, 2015
Been here 10+ times
Order online! Or go during the rain. Or on a random weekday. All tips for avoiding the line.
Hayleigh EdsonAugust 21, 2014
Chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting. Great cupcakes but you might have to line up down the street.
