Georgetown Cupcake

Meh. The cupcakes are meh

Who doesn’t enjoy these delicious cupcakes ?!
My fav is the PB cupcake and the toffee sticky pudding OMG! That’s coming from someone who’s not big on peanut butter .
I remember when their cupcakes were only $ 2.75
Which I thought was still pricey but now close to $ 4 like are yall serious!!!
There will be folks willing to buy it even if it were $ 6 — I won’t be one of them.
Still super yummy !

The cupcake craze is a bit over the top, but this place delivers pretty well on the promise and has a bunch of great flavors. I’m not going to stop in randomly for a cupcake, but it’s a great way to pick up an alternative to a cake for a special occasion so that you can get much more variety than a single cake could offer.
My favorite flavor is (pretty overwhelmingly) the peanut butter, but they’re all good and the variety of them makes them perfect to bring to a party or just a bunch of friends since everyone can have something a little different.

I was at the Bethesda crab house and took a walk to the georgetown cupcake. I thought they would be overrated but to my suprise they were very good cupcakes. I was lucky enough to go when there was no line. There us one table in there and it was empty so we sat and had coffee and ate oyr cupcakes. We tried several flavors like the red velvet and the cookies and cream and chocolate with vanilla icing and they were all great.

i’ve come to love this bakery since they have so many different types of cupcakes, and many seasonal specials. during the month of december, they have seasonal favourites that include gingerbread, egg nog, toffee, and peppermint. since i only get to visit whenever i’m in the dc area, i like to get my fill since it’s roughly once a year at most.
i was pleased that the line wasn’t too long, so my wait was maybe 5 minutes at most. unfortunately, many of the flavours that i wanted were sold out, but that is to be expected when arriving less than 1 hour before closing time.
i requested a half dozen ($ 18) and chose these flavours:
+sticky toffee pudding — georgetown cupcake’s modern twist on the traditional english sticky toffee pudding — toffee cupcake with a caramel core, topped with a toffee-​infused frosting, and a caramel star drizzle and fondant holly
+chocolate egg nog — valrhona chocolate egg nog cupcake topped with a (non-​alcoholic) rum-​infused frosting, a dusting of nutmeg and a light blue fondant snowflake
+gingerbread — gingerbread cupcake topped with a
cinnamon-​infused cream cheese frosting and a fondant gingerbread man
+chocolate coconut — valrhona chocolate cupcake with a vanilla
cream cheese frosting capped with a cloud of shredded coconut
+carrot cake — classic cinnamon apple carrot cake with a vanilla cream cheese frosting and topped with a fondant carrot or bunny (does not contain raisins or nuts)
+strawberry — classic madagascar bourbon vanilla cupcake baked with fresh strawberries and topped with a fresh strawberry frosting and a fondant heart
since i was sharing with my family, i only got to try 3 of these. the sticky toffee pudding was very unique and original in that it incorporated toffee in both the cake and frosting, which i’ve never had anywhere else. it blended well with the caramel with an ooey gooey caramel center. the chocolate egg nog blended dark chocolate with egg nog which had a nice kick to it, and was tasty, yet light. the gingerbread was probably my favourite since it had gingerbread and cinnamon with cream cheese. i loved the chocolate fondant gingerbread man as it had a dark chocolate finish.
the rest of my family enjoyed the strawberry, carrot cake, and chocolate coconut, stating that the cakes stayed pretty moist even a couple days after purchase. my husband especially enjoyed the strawberry since there were strawberry pieces embedded in the cake.
once again, another delicious batch of cupcakes from georgetown cupcake. i only wish there was one closer to me in northern california!

It’s good, but expensive. One cupcake costs about $ 3.50. For that price, I could bake some amazing homemade cupcakes myself. Betty Crocker makes it easy! Just add eggs! The icing is good, it has a cream cheese taste to it. Everything tastes homemade.
However, I’ll add that America seems to be in tuff shape. I always feel bad going to buy a $ 3.50 cupcake when I run into all the homeless people that walk the streets of Bethesda. Perhaps they can do some community outreach with prices like that. Also, they should hire some other races. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone behind the counter or kitchen that doesn’t look European or Caucasian.

There is no cupcake like a Georgetown Cupcake! The crème de la crème of cupcakes. Rich, moist, light, and luscious cake. Then, there is the frosting… creamy, smooth, scrumptious, and packed full of flavor. The chocolate is amazing and then they combine it with caramel. My brain is in serendipity mode, so happy and enjoying each bite. Savoring the moment and wishing it would never end. So, if you are in the mood for a cupcake that rivals no other, head on over to Georgetown Cupcakes and be prepared to be impressed!

I’ve drooled over Sprinkles Cupcake. My wife and I were sad to be leaving San Diego and Sprinkles Cupcake (recently found out they have one in Georgetown!) This may just one up Sprinkles, but I give Sprinkles 5 stars too. Just go try it. Can’t explain the goodness. Go eat one now! It speaks for itself as it plays around in your mouth! Enjoy.
…The only reason I would prefer Sprinkles… Its bigger. Make your cupcakes bigger! :)

I was out enjoying the sun before heading to pick up a To-​Go order and I remember that GCC had the Vegan Carrot Cupcake today!
We used this company for a surprise birthday party back in Atlanta a few years ago & they were a delectable hit. So I was very interested to try this location.
I walked in & at first gaze was the gourmet display case of multiple tiers of cupcakes. I caught the black bedazzled mixer in the window, such a nice little staging piece.
Sabrina the friendly and uplifted cashier was friendly as sugar and spice, while she confirmed today’s Vegan specialty. I got my Carrot Cupcake and paid via LevelUp in matter of seconds.
I’m sure the overhead cost wouldn’t be conducive for boxes for single purchases, yet it would be a plus. If you get two, the cupcakes are placed in a dual holding box, oppose to a bag for one. Hence the smearing of the frosting all over my little bag LOL.
I know their signature «baked fresh daily in house» motto, yet my cupcake was very fresh, moist and of course, yummy!
The store is immaculate, as I even peaked back into the preparation and baking area, it was very clean and organized. The interior has a pink pasties decorum with a small white table/​chairs, that really exudes an open, fresh and clean looking space.
Always a thumbs up when a company participates in giving back, as GCC supports both local and national charity causes, my favorite is their focus on children’s health issues.
What a saccharine of visit for the sweet tooth and craving for a Vegan treat.

Hands down the best cupcakes I’ve ever had in my life — and I’ve had my fair share of cupcakes! Perfect ratio of icing to cake, fresh tasting — both the traditional and unique flavor options, cute set up at the store, very efficient service. I wasn’t a huge fan of the lady behind the counter — she felt very rushed even though there was no line. That being said there is most always a line!

Georgetown Cupcake is a bakery that sells cupcakes and coffee. The cupcake flavors vary by month, day, and season. If you follow them on social media daily, you may be lucky to get a free cupcake on that given day assuming you’re not allergic to its contents (e.g., peanut butter). I used to visit Georgetown Cupcake frequently when they served Lemon Berry and Earl Grey cupcakes. We’re sad that it’s a retired flavor!
My other favorites include Lemon Blossom, Strawberry, Cookies & Crème, Mint Cookies & Crème, German Chocolate Fudge, and Pumpkin Spice. I have yet to try the Strawberry Cheesecake, Raspberry Chocolate Chip, Banana Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Raspberry, Mocha Chocolate Chip, Bumbleberry, and Raspberry Peach.

I love cupcakes and Georgetown Cupcakes is not bad… I wouldn’t say that this place is my favorite because their cupcakes are a lot smaller (than for instance, Sprinkles for around the same price) and the frosting in general was not that exciting or unique.
Pros:
— Mocha Fudge — this cupcake was good because not only was the cupcake good, but so was the frosting.
— Banana Chocolate — I loved that the chocolate frosting was not too sweet
Cons:
— Carrot — I did like the cupcake itself and you can definitely taste the carrot, but the frosting was too sweet for my taste

Bought a half dozen which was almost 20 $ and it was so worth it! We chose caramel cheesecake, 2 red velvets, cookies and cream, coconut and birthday chocolate vanilla cake.
They were amazingly good! And the lines are not as crazy as the one in Georgetown. I will hopefully be back.

I have tried the cupcakes both here and in Georgetown on more than one location.
My comments about the taste apply to both, although any comments about the location only apply to this store.
Let me be blunt.
The cupcakes are severely overpriced. Eating the cupcakes is a cute novelty thing for those trying to «experience» DC, but they’re not good for much else. The line is always out the door (and never moves quickly) and leads you to a very tiny store.
Once inside, you have the chance to look over a menu of cupcakes, some of which rotate to give you variety. The cupcakes are already baked, leaving you wondering what exactly causes the consistent holdup.
The actual cupcakes aren’t particularly impressive and at times they are dry. I will say that I find it cool that the store showcases a variety. If you do come here, I recommend the red velvet, lemon, and the chocolate mint one.
If someone else pays for the cupcakes, then they’r pretty decent. If you find yourself forking over the money for them, you’ll find yourself feeling like they may not be worth the hype. At the end of the day, this is a «DC staple» and it’s nice to say that you’e at least tried it.

Claustrophobic little shop but worth the awkwardness. Efficient, friendly staff.
My faves:
Milk Chocolate Birthday
Lemon Blossom
Coconut
Strawberry
Red Velvet

If you go when they open, at 10 am, you can avoid all the lines. It’s never too early for cupcakes!
I highly recommend these sweet treats. If they have it, try the Oreo cheesecake. It’s like no cupcake I’ve ever had. Forget regular frosting– it’s all about about crumbly cheesecake on top of a cupcake!

I haven’t heard of this place before, until my coworkers told me about it while we were in the area for work.
Line out the door! It was about 7:30pm on a Tuesday. As you step in the door, you smell the sugar. The cupcakes are nicely decorated and I would love to try them all, and I don’t even care for cupcakes that much.
I tried the lemon one and it was very tasty. Of course the frosting was really sweet and I could not it all of it. It was fully lemony. I did eat all of the cake, which I like. It was light and fluffy. I’m glad I tried this place.

3.5 stars for a moist, soft, and perfectly sweet $ 3 cupcakes!
As a cupcake fanatic, my heart and stomach lies closely devoted to Molly’s in Chicago (they have branches in NYC/​Iowa as well), where there is more seating (compared to Georgetown Cupcake), the cupcakes are more detailed, and effort is a lot more obvious. Georgetown Cupcakes does have have it pluses: More locations, they also ship nationally, and they have 100s of flavors!

$ 3 for a cupcake. 6 cupcakes for $ 16.50
I’ve had most of the cupcakes here as it is the most convenient cupcake shop in Bethesda — recently had the Red Velvet, Chocolate Ganache and Key lime. The cupcakes are just regular to me — tastes like your average cupcake at best. The frosting to cupcake ratio on all three was too heavy on the frosting for my taste, with the icing being overly sweet. However, they do sell milk at the counter if you need some balance.
A little overhyped in my opinion. I love sweets in general, so this is still a good stop in Bethesda if I’m in the mood for dessert. Service is quick, and lines are definitely shorter than the Georgetown location.

Been to this location twice and after having many cupcakes around NYC, this is still my favorite cupcake spot.
No one can compete with Georgetown’s delicious, creamy frosting and icing. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients in every bite. The cakes are moist and perfect, but the flavor is truly in the icing. My favorites are the chocolate ganache and the red velvet.
Prices are fair, especially for such high quality cupcakes. Parking is somewhat of an issue since it is a busy street, so I usually have someone wait in the car while I run out and go get my fix.
I haven’t tried the cupcakes in the NY location yet but I’ll definitely be checking it out soon.
