Georgetown Cupcake

Better than Magnolias! And Melissa’s… And crumbs… And basically any other cupcake in the U. S

I try to stop by whenever I am in the area. I usually get the seasonal or specials. The cupcakes are moist, frosting melts in your mouth and oh so tasty.

Perfectly sized cupcakes. Not overly sweet so you won’t feel gluttonous. I tried the classic Red Velvet. The cake was soft and moist and the cream cheese frosting was to die for.

The cupcakes were amazing quality! I just wish they weren’t so expensive (as everything is in SoHo).
I got the lavender and red velvet cupcake. The lavender was actually too sweet for me but the red velvet cupcake was so good, if I ever visit again I would surely get the red velvet!

Stopped by the other day while on a Real Housewives of New York bus tour. Beautiful shop, and there is a public restroom. A lot of unusual cupcake choices and you get to watch the employees decorate the cupcakes. I also love Georgetown cupcakes because they have donated cupcakes to our charity events both in NYC and DC for years.

All I need to say is lava fudge cupcake. I come here once a week for the lava fudge which they only have on Tuesdays and Friday’s. The cupcakes are fresh and fantastic. Highly recommend

Of all the «must try» cupcake places I’ve had so far, Georgetown is THE BEST. The cake is the perfect consistency and while you would think the icing is a bit much, it’s actually not too sweet and it’s perfectly balance with the moist cake. I tried the earl grey, chocolate with chocolate filling/​pudding inside, and chocolate with strawberry icing and they were all DELICIOUS! I look forward to my next diet cheat day for cupcakes from Georgetown.

I ordered the cherry blossom and the cookies and crème cupcakes. The cherry blossom didn’t taste like what I thought it was going to taste like. It tasted vaguely like cherry syrup, which I think tastes like medicine. I’ve had other cherry blossom flavored snacks before and they all tasted very different from this cupcake (but similar to each other). I think it was a nice try, but a miss. I also had the cookies and crème. I think the frosting was too thick and too sweet. It wasn’t really for me. I definitely prefer Baked & Wired and am glad I did not wait in line for these!

Decidedly my favorite cupcake place in NYC! The line moves quick, the cupcakes are always fresh, and I don’t think they’re overly priced. Fun fact: follow Georgetown Cupcake on Twitter and you can get the cupcake of the day for free just by going in and telling them what it is. FREE CUPCAKES!

Probably my favorite cupcake place in New York. I always seem to end up here when I’m in SoHo (which is very often) and get a couple cupcakes to go. I have tried an assortment of flavors, like their staples vanilla & chocolate, chocolate², chocolate birthday, and the always delicious red velvet. The rotating cupcake assortment is fabulous too, with flavors such as cookies & crème cheesecake, earl grey & lavender, and carrot cake. You literally cannot go wrong here. The icing to cake ratio is on point.
On the weekends, expect to wait, the line can get long. However, the employees are super efficient and try to move the line along as quickly as possible. During the week though, the place is more manageable, depending on the time of day. I’ve only ever encountered a line with five people at most when I go in the afternoon during the week.

I’ve had Georgetown cupcakes in the past through work gatherings and birthdays and they were magnificent!
I recently had them delivered over a weekend, I put them in the freezer over night as recommended and the quality of the product turned out not as I would have hoped. For the money, it was not worth it and a lesson learned for the future.
On the flip side, the presentation was great, but I’m not paying for presentation only.
I don’t think I’ll be a returning customer unfortunately.

Was in the area & in the mood for something sweet. Unfortunately the free cupcake of the day was over but I tried the coconut cupcake & it was sooo delicious! I ate every single morsel & even licked the crumbs off the wrapper. This shop doesn’t disappoint. I’ve tried several flavors & they always leave me wanting more.

This is what all cupcakes should be! Cute, delicious, just the right amount of cake and frosting. I’m a cupcake fanatic. I try to visit as many cupcake shops as I can, and let’s just say I take cupcakes pretty seriously. Im always skeptical of places that have so many different flavors. Sometimes they lose the greatness of the cupcake while trying to create so many different varieties. Well that’s NOT the case here.
You go into Georgetown and the cupcakes are displayed as soon as you enter. Flavors, amongst flavors, and flavors. When you finally decide what you want, they grab the cupcakes from the back, and package them in these adorable pink boxes.
Now enough about the place, let’s focus on the cupcakes. The cake itself is moist and delicious. The frosting, no matter what flavor you get isn’t too sweet or bland. Thankfully they’re too far away from me that I can only have them every few weeks!

At $ 3.25/cupcake, it’s definitely pricey. But is it worth it? YES! The days of stiff icing and dry cake are long gone with these cupcakes in town.
My initial thought of the place was «oh this is cute»! The cupcakes are on display as soon as you walk in, and labeled which helps with the decision making. The pale pink cupcake boxes are lined on the walls which gives the place a nice rosy feel. Tables with chairs are near the entrance, and are dainty. It’s overall a cutesy place. Cupcakes were ready for me in the to-​go box in a sec! The LevelUp scanner was down but nbd.
I picked up the Vanilla2 (vanilla squared?) and Red Velvet. The v² was love at first bite. I went in with a full force bite unnecessarily and was shocked at how softttttttt the frosting and cupcake were. Smoothest cupcake ever. You can see vanilla bean specks in it and the fondant accessory fell off so didn’t get to enjoy it. It wasn’t overpowering with sweetness; it was perfect. I’m ready for my red velvet one, but I’m full already!!! I’ll update later… I have high expectations but no doubt that it’ll be just as amazing.

This was my first time to the NYC Georgetown Cupcake location. I had visited the DC location a few years ago when their popularity had just exploded. I remember liking the cupcakes when I had them before, but I really loved them this time!
Plan to wait a little bit if you go on a weekend. You order from all the flavors they have that day (displayed on the board and in the display windows). You then pick up your order at the rear. They charge for a box so if you’re going to eat in, say a napkin is ok!
I went with the vanilla St Patrick’s day cupcake and was not disappointed. Very beautiful, very fresh, and very delicious. Yum! They have the largest number of flavors of the cupcake places I’ve been to in the city (which is embarrassingly too many to share) which makes it certain that you’ll find something you’ll like or want to try. The cupcakes they have for the different holidays seem to be especially popular in bringing to work and social gatherings.
They have a few tables for seating which is nice. There’s a restroom which seemed to be very popular (15 people in line to use it) for tourists wandering around the city all day.
Worth the visit!

Always wanted to try a Georgetown cupcake ever since I watched episodes of «DC Cupcakes» on TV. I was so happy that the owners opened up a NYC branch so I don’t have to go all the way to Washington DC to try their cupcakes.
I bought a variety of cupcakes to bring to my best friend’s house for NYE. Everyone enjoyed the cupcakes. I had the Rudolph Red Velvet cupcake and it was great. The frosting was on point and cupcake was moist.
If I’m in the area, I’ll probably drop by to buy some cupcakes for a group gathering. :)

En un viaje anterior a NY habia descubierto esta tienda de cupcakes en el SoHo, y ahora cada vez que voy, no puedo faltar. Los cupcakes son sublimes y encima hay tantos sabores en masa y en frostings que elegir es un suplicio. Lo unico malo es que tiene muy pocas mesas para tomarte un café y disfrutarlo ahi mismo (creo que son cuatro) y a veces no hay lugar.

So what if I watch the TLC channel??? So what if I’ve seen their show «DC Cupcakes».
From watching their show, these sisters do seem to make tasty looking cupcakes, so I noted to myself to come by their SOHO location.
Located in SOHO, great area for shopping and stopping by for a quick tasty treat. It’s a nice looking shop, plenty of selections to choose from, nice menu board to see what they have and on display to see what the specific cupcake look like as well. They do have coffee & tea drinks to go with your cupcake as well.
We decided to try Christmas Caramel Cupcake and the Peanut Butter Fudge Cupcake. Both were very delicious, moist, and the frosting was so good! If I recall, the peanut butter one had some peanut butter inside of the cupcake as well. Or was it the caramel one, I could’ve swore one of them had something inside of the cupcake. Whatever, it was pretty darn good!
They do have seasonal flavors so the menu will change, but I was quite impressed with their cupcakes that we tried.
Pricing is a bit high, about $ 3.25 each, the size of the cupcake is pretty average but to me I wouldn’t want a bigger cupcake as that would be a bit much. Staff was friendly, line went pretty smooth, order at the front and pick up your cupcake in the back.
Overall, I was glad to stop by and enjoy their cupcakes! Will keep watching them on the TLC channel along with Long Island Medium.

I was so excited to try this place out. I used to watch their show so imagine my excitement when I found out they had a branch in NY!!!
I am so sad with the outcome :(the cupcakes were dry, overly sweet and just nothing special about them. I got their salted caramel and one of their seasonal flavors — sticky toffee.
I would not recommend their cupcakes to others.

I follow Georgetown Cupcake on Twitter. Every morning at 9:45 am, they announce the special cupcake of the day. When you go there EARLY, just say that flavor and you get it FREE!
Anyway, I had to go to Apple Store at Prince Street. The only appointment that I can make was at 9:20am. When I was finally done there at 10am, I checked Twitter. I headed to Georgetown Cupcake, I had a yummy cupcake in my hand in less than 1 minute. :)
It was a good morning.

My husband recently surprised me and brought me home a pumpkin cheesecake cupcake. It was sooo good! The cupcake actually had a biscuit base and a creamy pumpkin frosting, it was delicious. I’m not normally a fan of the thick frosting but as a package with the cake and biscuit base it was great.
The only negative was that after I removed the wrapping, it kind of fell apart and I had to scoop the biscuit base from the wrapper. Not a huge issue, but it would have made it easier to eat had it stayed together.
I want to try other flavors to check it wasn’t a fluke, but if others are as good as this one, my waistline is in trouble!

No puedo decir más; son magdalenas buenas. El pastel y el glaseado son ricos y densos sin ser secos. Los decoraciones son muy lindos. He probado Red Velvet y salted caramel, y los dos eran deliciosos. Aún si no he ido al original en DC, es claro q la comida todavia es maravillosa. Para mi es un poco caro, pero aqui pagas por la calidad.
