Georgetown Cupcake is located further down Georgetown’s main road at 3301 M Street. Although they usually have a line to due to their popular TV show, the cupcakes are well worth the wait! During the summer, the line can be over an hour long but luckily for GW students there is almost never a line after the holiday season. Going in the beginning of the day also improves your chances of beating the line. Georgetown Cupcake offers many different types of chocolate cupcakes including Chocolate Squared, Chocolate Ganache and Double Chocolate Birthday Cake. Georgetown Cupcake also offers a free cupcake for the first 100 customers who come in and ask for the secret flavor of the day. This flavor is tweeted out every morning on their Twitter page. While it is only one per person it is a great way to try new cupcake flavors!
Baked and Wired located off of M street at 1052 Thomas Jefferson Street, seems to be the favorite for DC locals. Baked and Wired has a more relaxing vibe and usually has a shorter line. They also sell more than just cupcakes. These products include breads, cookies, quiches, muffins and more. Some of the local favorites include German Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Karen’s Birthday. Baked and Wired is a great place to hang out and relax with friends while enjoying a delicious treat!
