Tourists: pay close attention. I know someone probably told you to go to Georgetown Cupcakes. I'm here to tell you that you need to go around the corner and hit up Baked & Wired instead! Baked & Wired has some of the best cupcakes in the DC Metro region, the best cupcakes in Georgetown, and the best cupcakes in DC. The cake-to-frosting ratio is perfect. Sometimes with cupcakes you feel one has more than the other -- not with a Baked & Wired cupcake! The entire establishment has such a charming, artsy vibe that fits right in with the Georgetown aesthetic, too! read more

Far and away the best cupcakes I've ever had!! I was lucky enough to go when there wasn't a line, and I snagged seven of these to try. I don't remember the exact names of the cupcakes I got, but they were basically a strawberry, a vanilla, a vanilla with chocolate frosting, a chocolate with vanilla frosting, a double chocolate, a red velvet, and a pistachio. They were fantastic!! My personal favorites were the strawberry, the vanilla with chocolate frosting, and the vanilla which really surprises me since I've never actually enjoyed a vanilla cupcake before. I can't wait to return!! read more

If you're looking for a new place to enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee, baked goods, or a world class cupcake that's the size of a muffin. Then, come here! You won't regret it. Everyone is as sweet as the cupcakes. They make you feel like family! This place is a hidden local treasure that I'm proud to support. I was first introduced to this place a few years ago by my brother who lives in DC. And, let me tell you, It was love at first bite! I absolutely love coming here anytime I'm in town. I always get the German Chocolate Cupcake. It's not the traditional German chocolate that you'd expect. The chocolate cake itself is a rich moist decadent, dark chocolate. Not the traditional light and airy cake that is German chocolate. But, it's still delicious! The frosting is pure perfection! It has notes of coconut, caramel, and sweet vanilla. It's so unbelievably moist, decadent, and delicious that you wish that you had 2X as much. But, it'd be too rich at that point. They truly have the well balanced cupcake down. They have plenty of seating. So, if you're not in a rush. Sit down and enjoy the ambience. Also, they have a really nice coffee bar with incredibly delicious coffee, tea, and tasty treats. So, make sure to check it out. The cupcakes are a little pricey. But, don't let the price tag scare you away for enjoying a once and a lifetime treat. They're worth every penny! I've enjoyed seeing them become the fancy bakery that they are today and hope that everyone tries them. So, that you can experience your love at first bite moment! You won't regret it. read more

Everything still remains true, the best! I've visited sister stores as well and they deliver the same service and amazing products. I love seeing a line out the door for Baked and Wired. They are still in the scene and popular. Their cupcakes are my favorite, but so many of their other baked items are up there as well. I've been a customer for over 20 years. Service has always been perfect! The staff is engaging and hardworking. They do a wonderful job. Hot tip: place an online same day pick up order or a future order to avoid the line. read more

This is a cute little cupcake store in Georgetown that also serves other cafe items like coffee and breakfast/lunch items. It's a very popular spot to grab dessert in Georgetown and usually has a long line which moves pretty quick. I've tried a few cupcakes over the years and recently tried "the dude" which was a chocolate cake with some ganache filling, buttercream frosting, and malt chocolate on top. It was delicious and I'm glad I tried it but my all time favorite is the strawberry cupcake. I'll always stop by this place every time I'm in Georgetown read more

Cupcakes are A1. Workers are helpful and friendly. My biggest critique is the mental gymnastics it takes for me to order. I always panic a little because there's usually a line and there isn't a posted menu for the cupcakes, at least not one that I've been able to see during cupcake rush hour. They have all of the cupcakes out on display in these cute cake savers. I'm the type of person who likes to look at all of my options before I order but that's not always feasible with how the line wraps around so quickly. I feel this sense of urgency to place my order quickly and get out of the way. Next time I'll do research on the toast app so I'm prepared to order. There was one vegan option, but my vegan didn't enjoy it and said it was dry. I think it was mint flavored. The cupcakes are on the larger side to me and everyone I've ever had has been insanely sweet. I can only eat half of one at a time. During my last visit I got the Doom and uniporn and rainho. I honestly just like saying uniporn and rainho out loud so I order that one often. My favorite is the razmanian devil. The cupcakes are around $6 each. Line for drinks is always too long so we usually go somewhere else nearby. read more

Baked and wired is well deserving of the hype it gets! I love every single one of their cupcake flavors and they have delicious coffee as well. I always bring friends and family here when I'm in Georgetown because I love it so much. Their seasonal cherry blossom flavor is always great. Staff is also very nice and it's a great environment to meet up with friends over cupcakes! read more

I haven't been to Baked & Wired in a few years just because I haven't been in area. I also knew if I found a convenient way to stop by, I would be there all the time. So, I was in the area yesterday and took a 10 minute walk from Trader Joe's in 25 degrees just to get some cupcakes. I get there about 15-30 minutes after they opened so there were no lines and it wasn't crowded at all. If I had time I would have gotten a warm drink in addition to my cupcakes and chill there for a second. It's inviting, especially with all the Christmas Decoration and warm staff. I got 4 cupcakes; Pistachio, Strawberry, Vanilla and German Chocolate. Generally their cupcakes aren't too sweet, they're big with great flavor. They're $6.20 each. I normally really like pistachio flavored things, the pistachio cupcake wasn't my favorite. I think there is nut meg or a similar spice which isn't my favorite. That's not to say I wouldn't eat it again if someone bought it for me though lol. I just wouldn't buy it again. The other cupcakes were on point, no complaints. I think so far Red Velvet and Strawberry are my favorite. Now that I will be in the area more, I will definitely make my way through the menu and give you updates! read more

DC is a cupcake town and these are by far the best. Loved the red velvet and strawberry vanilla! The marshmallow-caramel-graham bar is also great too. Don't sleep on the Arnie Palmy on a hot day. Super easy to pre order as well! Can't wait to go back! Wish they shipped! read more

This family bakery in the heart of Georgetown serves up small-batch treats from family recipes with coffee. We split the strawberry and the pretty bitchin'. The strawberry cupcake was the clear standout, moist cake paired with a creamy, flavorful frosting. I'm already planning to go back and work my way through more of their flavors! Before you leave, make sure to check out the napkin wall in the back, covered in doodles and notes from patrons, it adds a fun, personal touch to an already charming spot. read more

While back east, our family visited Georgetown and retraced my steps when I lived there oh ten years ago. Of course, we had to make a stop at Baked & Wired! I hadn't had it in years, but was craving their expertly crafted, flavorful, high-price-tag cupcakes (hey, when in DC). When our group got there, after a collective groan at the long line, I wasn't taking no for an answer so we went to the back of the line and within about 10 minutes, made it inside the bakery. We were then greeted with a beautiful shining line of cupcakes on display. The ordering system is a little chaotic, and I'm guessing very intentional - we have to select our flavors as we move down the line, so that if something at the end of the line looks good, we have to wait until the end to order. We got 5 cupcakes - two of the seasonal Cherry Blossoms (YUM), a German Chocolate, a carrot cake and a pistachio. I think the price tag came out to about $35 for the five cupcakes? Definitely a splurge when visiting, but worth it. We ate our cupcakes after we did some site seeing around the city and they were all moist, flavorful and delicious!! read more

This was my favorite cupcake spot for years! I haven't been here in maybe over 7 years, so I was way overdue for a visit. A friend and I were in the area, so we stopped by. There was a long line waiting to get inside, which isn't any different from back in the day, so we waited for 15-20 minutes. There was a nice selection of cupcakes and other baked goods, and they even had fall specials! I got the great pumpkin, Karen's birthday, razmanian devil, and the carrot cake. They were all okay. I remember their cupcakes tasting so much better, but I just didn't love them this time. Maybe I should've gotten other flavors. Nonetheless, customer service was really great. The cashier was helpful, answered my questions, and provided suggestions. For my next visit, I'll most likely try their other desserts since I'm yet to try anything outside of their cupcakes. read more

Omg! They have some of the best cupcakes I have ever had. I dropped by here while out and about in Georgetown, and ended up purchasing the coconut and carrot cake cupcakes. Both cupcakes were very tasty with a slightly dense consistency that make the cupcakes very filling. The coconut flavor was my favorite, but the carrot was good as well. The icing on both cupcakes had just the right amount of sweetness for my taste, and at Baked & Wired apparently they aren't shy about topping off their cupcakes with plenty of icing (yum!). The pricing for the menu items were very reasonable (especially for the area), and the staff were super friendly and helpful (despite the large number of customers that were visiting at the time). The atmosphere at Baked & Wired was also very nice, as it seemed like a really cool place to chill and hangout! I will definitely be back to try some more items from the menu. read more

Baked and Wired cupcakes were absolutely delicious! Even though a bit pricey for a dozen cupcakes ($73), the quality was perfection, the size of each cupcake was remarkable, and the flavors were fantastic. The cupcakes were not overly sweet, and each distinct flavor was true to its name and description. Customer service was very kind and thoughtful, and decor in the shop hip and quaint. Street parking is available, but be prepared to walk because nearby parking is usually occupied. Highly recommend! read more

I decided to stop by after picking up some thing from my organization. I was in the mood for a cold drink & was recommended to go to Baked & Wired. I will admit that I was a little confused when I entered the building. I wasn't sure if it was a separate entity or the same one. It was kinda split in half. Nevertheless, I went to the side that looked like they served coffee & cold drinks. It was quite tiny. I got the iced matcha & wanted it to be sweet. The baristas were rather quiet but timely with their service. I felt that my matcha was not sweet enough so I added more sweetner/ simple syrup to it. It did the trick. The other side seemed to have some yummy looking pastries & they also seem to serve drinks. If I am ever in the neighborhood again, I may swing by and try a different drink with a pastry. read more

Baked & Wired is iconic in Georgetown. I was disappointed with the service, there is one line but the staff was offering help to customers out of order. Espresso chocolate cookie - decadent, soft and with crispy edges 5/5 Strawberry Pop Tart - tasted like a thumbprint cookie not a pop tart, but still very good 4/5 They still use hand written labels for the desserts...feel like the space could be more elevated in design. It's also hard to see what options there are all at once. read more

Although I do think Baked and Wired cupcakes are the best in DC, this review is just for the Chaider. It is $5 and tastes just like how it is described. It is chai and apple cider combined. Comes hot with the chai bag with the spices hanging off the cup. You can also have it iced. Did you already have a latte this morning? Are you turning green from too matcha? Do you want something fruity but only slightly artificial tasting? Do you want to try something that joins a list of ridiculous combination food names like the cronut, the crookie, and the brookie? Did you walk into a cupcake shop and suddenly get thirsty? Are you willing to try something slightly off trend and will likely hit its peak in two years? A Chaider is the correct answer. Are you going to be searching for a recipe to make it at home later? Yes. read more

This place is awesome. So many selections of cupcakes and cookies along with coffee. We got the carrot cake cupcake and it was the best thing I've ever had. Service was great but in an area where parking is super tricky. Take that into consideration when going. read more

Unfortunately no pics but tried a vanilla latte (I know, pretty basic but ACTUALLY DELICIOUS!) I also tried a few cupcakes cause it was my birthday lol. I tried a pistachio cupcake, sooo good and not too sweet, the strawberry cupcake which was sweet but just the right amount and the cake was so fluffy AND the carrot cake, so so good, especially the cream cheese frosting! Gotta return to try more cupcakes!!! :d highly recommend. read more

I was given the recommendation to try Baked & Wired while I was visiting DC. As a self-proclaimed cupcake connoisseur, this was a must-try. The recommendation lived up to my expectations.

The vibes here are cool with the bakery on one side and coffee counter on the other and seating in the back. I came for the cupcakes because that's what everyone told me to go here for but I wish I'd gotten any of the other baked goods on display. Because I'm sorry DC, you guys have weird taste in cupcakes. The flavor was great but the denseness and texture of the cupcake were not it - I didn't even finish my Razmanian Devil (lemon raspberry). Side note - I had the same texture issues with the cupcakes at Georgetown Cupcake - like they're the same cupcake, just different sizes and prices. Baked & Wired is the larger and pricier of the two at $7 per cupcake compared to $5 but they taste the same. I liked Baked & Wired the best of the two for the vibes - plus they have other things on their menu that I can try. read more

I've heard so many great things about Baked & Wired as a local, and as a longtime Georgetown Cupcake fan, I had to try this out. Baked & Wired has a much smaller selection of flavors, and priced higher (about 1.5x) for a larger sized cupcake. If you're not super hungry, splitting one among 2 people will do. The frosting was also too sweet - I got the strawberry cupcake which was good, but not the best I've had. Overall, nothing really stood out about these cupcakes - it wasn't overwhelmingly amazing compared to Sprinkles or Georgetown Cupcake, or other shops on the street. A bit disappointed, but not a bad experience. read more

Had a hard time deciding between all the desserts here! Lots of cupcakes, brownie, blondie, etc. options and unique flavors. This shop could easily turn into a cupcake factory but they keep it casual with handmade labels, intimate couch seating, and usually just one or two employees at the counter. Even though the line was long and moved slowly, I appreciate the culture they've established here. My only complaint is that to see the options you have to wait until you're inside the door and then the line moves faster from there so there's less time to decide what you want. The cheesecake brownie was my all-time favorite. Lemon blueberry cupcake was great too! read more

yum just yum. i had heard so much about this bakery in georgetown, so i was so excited to finally try it. as soon as you walk in, you're hit with an incredible display of cupcakes that all look absolutely perfect. it was hard to decide which ones to get because they had so many different flavor profiles and combinations, everything sounded so good. honestly, my favorite was the double chocolate. i usually go for chocolate desserts. it was really the frosting that stood out, with such a rich, ganache-like texture that was just incredible. these cupcakes were also great to share with a large group, which meant i was able to try a variety of flavors. i also really loved the carrot cake, the cream cheese frosting had the perfect bite and balance for me. the bakery itself is a bit small, so it might be hard to fit a party of more than five people, especially with limited seating. because of that, i picked up my cupcakes to go. there was no line when i arrived, so i was able to get my cupcakes right away. it's also connected to a coffee shop. i didn't get a chance to try the coffee, but that's definitely an option if you're interested. read more

My wife and I stopped here after seeing all the hype about the cupcakes on TikTok. We got 4 cupcakes to try: the double chocolate, German chocolate cake, strawberry and pistachio. They looked cute but I was not a fan at all and my wife only liked the strawberry. We ended up throwing them out after giving them a try. The cupcakes are too sweet, pretty dry and just don't have that satisfying cupcake taste. The coffee here was pretty good. We also got a spicy sausage cheddar biscuit that we enjoyed. read more

Baked & Wired was my favorite spot as a Vegan. I'm not strictly vegan now but I'm still head over heels for their Vegan cookies and cream cupcake. I have fond memories standing in line with my brother and sister-in-law in Georgetown, chatting and listening to stories. The cupcake was the icing on the cake of being with family. Small shops have a way of doing that sometimes. I'm glad places like this exist and give character to D.C. It's really that special and us DMV locals know it. If you're visiting from out of town or country, please try this place - you'll be amazed how just walking uphill to get here will make you smile, even before taking the tiniest memorable bite. read more

Such a cute local bakery in Georgetown! Came here since my friend visited this place five years ago and still remembers how delicious the cupcakes are. The cupcakes were indeed very good and moist. We got the red velvet, pistachio, and strawberry. My favorite was probably the pistachio since it had a cardamom frosting I enjoyed. They are on the larger side, and the frosting was a little too sweet for me, but still very delicious! I heard the hippie crack granola here is well known so I got two bags of it, although I wasn't expecting it to be $20 each, so hopefully it's good! Update: Granola was pretty standard and I didn't like the dried apricots so i would probably get the one without fruits. But I would say just stick with their cupcakes! read more

The cupcakes were amazing as usual. I gave service a 2 star because one of the employees decided to loudly tell me to keep moving right several times. My back was to you so I didn't even realize you were talking to me at first, especially since I was already 2/3rds of the way down the counter and was physically ordering when you kept saying it to me. I was speaking loudly already so the woman helping me could hear my order. I shouldn't have to shout my order. For the record...there were only 7 people behind me, 3 groups of people. If you really wanted the line to move, perhaps you should have helped the next group with their order so there were 2 people fulfilling orders and not just one. And when you told me to have a great day in a sarcastic, overly sugary, voice(as we were leaving)...that didn't help. I have been a loyal customer here for a while, and am not sure I will go back based on this one employee's rude service today(the other 2 women were great and the cashier apologized which was kind of her). You are definitely not the only cupcake place in DC...or Georgetown for that matter. read more

The go to cupcake spot in Georgetown, better than Georgetown Cupcake (without the line too). The cupcakes here are bigger, so flavorful, and satisfying. Each one feels like a homemade treat with moist cake, flavorful frosting (not overly sweet), and good flavor combos. I grabbed a few to-go and they held up perfectly - great for sharing. My favorite was the strawberry! If you're in Georgetown, skip the line down the street and head here instead. read more
