Besides beer and tea, my favorite beverage is coffee. It's magic stuff, varied and different depending on where it's grown and how it's roasted. This one was recommended by friends, so I arranged to meet another friend here for morning snacks and drinks. I loved it. Located in Georgetown, it's convenient and close to lots of shopping, activities, and restaurants. If you're staying in a hotel nearby, it's worth coming here. Immediately inside is what they're famous for: baked goods like cupcakes, scones, muffins, etc., and had a long busy line for these. You have to get there early for certain things. To the right of the door is the coffee counter. They have a clear menu of what beans are available that day and the ways it can be made and served. I opted for one on pour over first, to have a nice hot cup on a brisk morning and got a scone to go with it. It was made with care by hand on order. They have outdoor seating and ample inside, but it did fill up quickly due to the popularity of the place. A single restroom is at the back, a red lightbulb turns on when occupied so it's easy to see if it's free. It seemed like a great place to read, relax, or do work, with many people there for meetings. After my pour over I went back and got a black nitro cold brew, a favorite serving style for me due to the soft body and roasted signature. I also loved this and understood their name after having two strong cups! read more

OMCherry Blossoms! Baked & Wired has a cherry blossom cupcake that is literally to die for. I was lucky enough to have one on my most recent visit to DC. The batter is vanilla cake mix with maraschino cherries. The frosting is buttercream and maraschino cherry. It's like spring is dancing in your mouth. The buttercream, cherries, and vanilla just blend so well together. We ordered cupcakes for a surprise birthday party (ordered from here and a couple other places for variety). We got strawberry, peanut butter, and confetti cupcakes. Each of them special in their own way. Eating these cupcakes would be the equivalent of running through a poppy field under a rainbow. That's the joy the flavors bring. They also have a variety of other baked goods like sliced breads (banana, zucchini, etc.). They sell a mean cup of coffee too. The Freddo flat white is spectacular. Don't even get me started on the brownies... read more

Baked and Wired is def worth the hype! I tried their Chocolate Doom cupcake, and it was incredible. The cupcake was perfectly balanced--not too sweet--with icing that was smooth and creamy. The chocolate was really high-quality and rich. The shop is small and I've heard there's usually a line, but I was fortunate to visit when it was quieter, so I didn't have to wait long. Just a heads-up: they stop serving coffee after 3 PM, so plan ahead if you're want a latte with your cupcake. Seating is limited, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. read more

I "get" why wired is in the title. I ordered caffeine. This cute shop is in Georgetown. Street parking is a challenge. If you research, the Union Station/Georgetown Circulator has a stop nearby. Try Wisconsin Ave or M Street, NW. The cupcakes are tasty and huge. I was torn between red velvet and carrot cake. I ordered carrot cake. It was delicious. The coffees can be hot or served with ice. The chai tea was yummy. The bathroom is small, but adequate. There isn't a lot of seating but this is the perfect place to grab coffee and visit with a friend. If you need a special treat for Valentine's or "just because," this is a great spot to buy a gift for someone. Yum. I'll be back. read more

Lots of cute options to satisfy your sweet tooth! If you like moist cakes and super sweet frosting, then you need to give this bakery a try. I love pistachios, so I was quite disappointed when I bit into the pistachio cupcake. It didn't taste like pistachios - just sugary. Don't let the long line intimidate you. The wait time wasn't too bad thanks to quick service. The interior felt quite noisy and crowded - Good luck finding a seat! read more

Cupcakes in Georgetown? What's the big deal? Well, the big-ass cupcakes at Baked & Wired are a pretty big deal. Soft, moist, delicious with perfect icing on top. I got a six pack with chocolate, red velvet, plain old vanilla, oreo, and something called "uniporn and rainho". Each one was delicious and huge - that's why they're called "cake cups" and nut just cupcakes. Very creative, very fun, and very tasty. Grab a cup of joe from the coffee bar around the wall, and you're in for a long day of languid goodness. If you haven't tried Baked & Wired yet, stop by - you'll be impressed! read more

Baked and Wired is one of the places I was most excited to visit in D.C. because I heard so many good things about their cupcakes. They're a little pricy at $6/cupcake but honestly worth it. It's also bigger than the usual cupcake size because there's like an extra inch tall of cake. Of course I had to try the Dirty Chai cupcake since it's one of their most popular flavors and it did not disappoint! The frosting had a tasty chai flavor topped with a chocolate espresso bean. The cake itself was soft and had a warm, chai cinnamony flavor. I also really loved the strawberry cupcake. Sounds basic but it was soo yummy. The frosting was a light strawberry flavor with a hint of brown butter. The cake was vanilla flavor and had real strawberries inside. The double chocolate cupcake was a little too sweet but still delicious. Frosting and cake tasted like sweet dark chocolate. Def a must try if you're visiting D.C! read more

Ordered a few things: Scallion and goat cheese biscuit - great savory scone. It's very enjoyable as you get a hint of goat cheese and scallion on each bite. Small biscuit if you had to ask me... wish it was warmed up. Chocolate cupcake - delicious and had to share with my partner as it was a huge cupcake. The frosting on top was amazing and wasn't too sweet like the typical frosting. As you take a bite, it's very moist and perfect along with the frosting. Solid chocolate fix! Hoijita tea - roasted green tea, a perfect drink for rainy morning. Very caffeine-y for me as I already had a small cup of coffee earlier today. It was still enjoyable to sip from! The service was amazing as they were friendly with us as we were trying to decide on which. They even offered a hard copy of menu to help us to order efficiently. A plus for their accommodations! It was busy as people come and go. We got a nice seating in back with some couch to lounge and enjoy some bites. Overall it's fun to check out and it's pretty close to Sprinkles cupcake if you want a good comparison. But they have their unique flavors to each own. I'd come back and try other flavors. read more

We visited on a weekend and the line was out the door! I think we waited around 25 mins to get in on the cupcake side and placed our cupcake and coffee order. Coffee took a really long time to be made... and I didn't love it. I ordered an iced flavored latte and it just fell short. As for the cupcakes, they were very delicious! I definitely regret not ordering more but there's also no way I could have finished them all! Interaction with the staff was minimal as they were very busy. Decor of the overall store was nice. We were lucky enough to grab seating, but had to clean up the mess others had left. Worth stopping by if you're a tourist like us. But if you are local... I'm certain there have to be other gems out there (which we did find one and I'll be reviewing that soon)! read more

We were excited to stop in and try this little bakery while exploring Georgetown. They offered cookies, cupcakes, marshmallows, you name it. I ended up getting a few items back to our hotel. We went with a lemon gingah sandwich cookie, giant marshmallow, s'mores, red velvet cupcake, and vegan oreo cupcake. Staff was welcoming and got us in and out of there in no time. The lemon gingah sandwich cookie was not my favorite. It wasn't bad, just had way too much granulated sugar on top and I couldn't have more than 1 bite. A miss for me. My daughter liked her marshmallow, can't go wrong if you love marshmallows. The s'mores was good. I liked the caramel in between the chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker. Surprisingly it was not too sweet. The cupcakes, sigh. They were just okay. The cake on both was on the dry side. The frosting on my red velvet was not cream cheese, more like a buttercream that did not add to the cupcake. It left us disappointed. Our cupcakes need to be moist and frosting addicting. This missed the mark. However, the marshmallows were good. Maybe give it a try but pass on the cupcakes? read more

Tucked away from the main busy street in Georgetown, the shop boasts a more quiet location until you see the line! It was busy but luckily the line was quick and efficient as was the service. I got two cupcakes to try- the chocolate cupcake with raspberry filling and the classic strawberry. I had previously been to a baked joint so i was surprised by the sheer number of options in comparison. I didn't love the chocolate raspberry as chocolate cupcakes are not my favorite and i felt the overall cupcake was a bit dry and there could have been more raspberry filling which would've helped the dryness. On the other hand I loved the strawberry cupcake and i can see why it's a fan favorite. The strawberry wasn't too overpowering or artificial tasting at all. read more

Baked & Wired was a great stop for a delicious cupcake. With the reputation of Baked & Wired, I knew this was a much needed spot to visit. Despite a line out the door, it moved very quickly and only took about 10 minutes. Once I ordered the cupcakes are already made and ready for you immediately to either enjoy in a small cafe area inside or take outside. The cupcake was very good and I'd love to try out a different cupcake next time. I don't know if I can say that this is the best cupcake I've ever had, but it was a really tasty treat. I'd definitely love to come back one day and give another cupcake a try. read more

Got the carrot cake cupcake and man, was it good. It's probably no surprise that this is one of the most popular cupcake places in DC, judging by how it's always busy inside. There was a smaller selection of flavors than I assumed but I'm guessing each flavor tastes great. Their most popular ones are strawberry and apparently the chai espresso is a staff favorite, so I have to try that one next time. I LOVED the cream cheese frosting on my cupcake, and I normally find icing too sweet. This one was perfect though read more

A charming little cafe nestled in the heart of Georgetown's downtown, and it was such a cozy spot to unwind. My friends and I tried the birthday, dirty chai, and carrot cake cupcakes, and each one had its own unique sweetness that seemed to intensify with every bite. The real standout for me was the carrot cake cupcake - it was soft, fluffy, and packed with flavor. The frosting was the perfect complement, balancing the richness of the cake beautifully. I paired it with a matcha latte, which was a great choice to cut through all the sweetness. Definitely a must-visit if you're in the area! read more

Honestly in my opinion the best cupcakes in D.C. hands down. I've tried just about every cupcake here! Former favorites: Razmanian devil, Strawberry (love love love), and Smurf. Now that I'm a vegan, I'm limited to one option, but that's okay! Glad I can still support this business For the first time I tried the Oreo cupcake. The icing really makes the cupcake! Not too much of a fan of the cupcake part, it's a little too much dark chocolate for me, however as always there was plenty of icing on top to keep me satisfied. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Visited during the week on a Friday around 11:30 am and luckily there was no crowd. read more

There are a lot of dessert shops in DC, but one of the most iconic spots is Baked & Wired. Yes, Georgetown Cupcakes is also in Georgetown, but I'd recommend you check out Baked & Wired first! They have cake cups (aka they are larger sized than a classic cupcake) and have some great flavors. For any event, I almost always order cake cups as a sweet treat. Personally, I love their red velvet and uniporn and rainho (it has fun colored frosting and sprinkles!) cake cups. And the Rice Krispies are pretty good too!! You kinda have to hunt to find the store front, but trust me, it is worth it. There is a little bit of seating inside, but the outdoor tables are especially nice during a beautiful day. read more

They have two cashiers one area for all the pastries and one for tea, coffee, and other beverages including alcoholic beverages. They also have tons of healthy cool Local goods like granola, honey, etc... There's not much inside seating. The line is always literally super long for this spot.

Pretty long line to be served but moved quickly. Cupcakes were pretty pricey but good. I was a little disappointed by the strawberry. If I had been blindfolded I would have thought it was a very good vanilla cupcake - hardly any strawberry in it. My family enjoyed their flavors though I did not try them. Cupcakes are clearly high quality and good. What won't have me returning was the customer service. Our family was picking out a box of cupcakes and at the last minute my husband threw in a rice krispy treat. I made a face because of the card he used (it was a new one that had me confused) not the fact he got something else. The cashier turned to me, cocked her head sarcastically and asked if he "has my permission." What a weird comment, especially to a customer. I don't police my husband's food. It's a cupcake place, it's not that deep. read more

There is a massive line out the front but it moves quickly. I love that they have all the cupcakes on display because I am such a visual person when it comes to food. The cupcakes are huge, bigger than a lot I've seen, and worth the wait! Dirty chai cupcake with espresso frosting: 9/10 Warning: this cupcake is extremely sweet. The cake itself wasn't necessarily moist but it wasn't dry. The coffee frosting is extremely sweet. I think they tried to overly cancel out it's bitterness. It becomes a lot towards the end, but I love the flavor of the chai cake with the coffee frosting. Strawberry cupcake: 9.5/10 Their most popular cupcake and it lived up to the hype! The strawberry frosting was sweet but light, but my favorite part was the cake. The cake had fresh strawberries and it didn't taste artificial at all. It wasn't overly sweet and the strawberries made the cake moist. I would highly recommend this one! These two together were great because they were very different flavors and different levels of sweetness. If you are getting two I would get two different ones like this to try! Overall, a very good cupcake! Very big and sweet, but I love sweets! Not the moistest but very good with some good flavors! read more

I got the smurfette (lemon + blueberry) and it was perfect - just the right amount of sweetness in the icing and the cupcake itself was moist and fluffy. I wish I had gone earlier to try their drinks (I went after dinner and the cafe was closed) so I'll probably be back for that. Interior was kind of small and not super appealing to sit in so I ate by the canal. But for baked goods fans - definitely worth a stop by! read more

They are open until 1 PM on Saturdays, we reached at around 11:30 AM and I was half hoping for them to be out of most items. Fortunately, even though they were super packed, we were able to find all of the items we were looking for - thanks to the hard working staff as they continue to make their pastries until closing - unlike so many other bakeries these days that make a certain amount and call it a day! Now to the food, everything we had was absolutely phenomenal! I am not a donut person but I loved theirs as they were very flavorful and weren't too sweet.

It must be said that I received the items cold and tasted them cold and reheated. Matcha Chocolate Twice Baked croissant - 6/10 - this rating is about my personal taste, not the quality of the croissant. I'm sure this is a matcha lovers dream and I was impressed by how much filling was in the croissant, especially considering the filling didn't affect the texture of the bread. This was good cold but even better reheated. Bread still had a crunch and the filling consistency was great, but again just not my thing. Strawberry milk - 10/10 - can I curse real quick ? £#%K this was delicious. I could put this filling on just about anything and be satisfied. It was rich but not overly sweet and paired really well with the pastry. I do not know how they manage to have the pastry keep its shape with the amount of filling they're putting inside but I appreciate it. The pastry has a great bite to it and the pearls and frosting adding a slight contrast to the texture was needed because too much of one texture creeps me out. I took a look at their menu and absolutely want to try their cookies the mango sweet tart, and the Ube Cheese Kouign Amann so I will be back !

I recently had time to explore a little while in DC, and a charming PINK building caught my eye…read morewhile taking a walk. I had absolutely no plans on buying or eating cake that day, but as a cake lover stuff happens. It was such a cute building the pastries had to be everything! It turned out to be the perfect stop. 1. The looks The building itself is so cute on the outside, and being a fan of the color pink, it instantly caught my attention. Inside, it feels less like a fast, high volume bakery and more like an intimate cake boutique. It gives small town where the owners know you by your first name. You can feel that real love was put into the space and the baking. Tasted like every ingredient was hand mixed, every cake hand frosted, and every cookie carefully hand scooped. They even served my slice of coconut cake on a real plate, which was such a cute, bourgeois touch that I loved. 2. Service The hospitality here is top-notch. On my first visit, yes you heard me! Lol! The gentleman Eric who rang me up was incredibly knowledgeable about all the different cookie and cake flavors. I ended up returning the very next day, and although he wasn't there, the other two staff members working which included Mikaela were absolutely delightful and so kind. The young lady told me her daughter loves the carrot cake as well and Mikaela said they started working there because they loved the patties so much! 3. The Cakes -Coconut Cake: This slice was so delicious, fluffy, and airy that it instantly reminded me of being a kid at holiday family meals with a fresh coconut cake on the table. -Carrot Cake: It was everything you want a carrot cake to be. It was nice and dense yet soft, with a pleasant texture from the added fruits. Definitely noticed pineapple bits! The cream cheese frosting wasn't overly thick and was so good you could eat it completely by itself. -Strawberry Cupcakes: I stole a small bite of my son's. unfortunately, this one was my least favorite. The frosting had a little chemical taste to it but it was a super cute cupcake. To answer your question, will I return? Absolutely! If you are in the DC area or planning a trip there soon, check this spot out. It truly feels like a mom and pop or pop and pop boutique. Not a bakery but a BOUTIQUE! Check them out! Tell them Anisha from Milwaukee sent you! (Not that they'd remember it just sounds cute!)

I was so excited to try some of these harder to find pastries. I had a Turkish beef börek and a cheese finger börek. They warmed them up for me, but they still weren't very warm - I'd probably ask for them to warm them up twice next time. The beef börek was good; the cheese finger börek was good, too, if maybe a teensy bit dry. I also got one of their signature coffees. While these coffees sound interesting and delicious and creative, I wish there an option or two that weren't as sweet. I tried the Sultan's Velvet, which was just way too sweet for me. Next time, I'll stick to a classic coffee - an americano or a cappuccino - since they have it all. There's quite a bit of seating - some downstairs, some upstairs, and some outside. I sat down and read my book while I enjoyed my pastries. It's definitely the kind of place that is comfortable to sit and enjoy. The customer service was friendly and fast. Overall, I'm glad I stopped by Caspian Crust. Georgetown is lucky to have several pastry shops/bakeries, but Caspian Crust is different and stands out. Its focus on Turkish and Azerbaijani pastries means that there's something for everyone - some classics for those folks who like what they like with their coffee, more savory pastries with meat or cheese or olives, and some sweet but less common pastries as well. Great flavors and variety. It's also cozy, comfortable, and casual, with good customer service. I'd be happy to return.

Anyway, she went through explaining various pastries and had a couple Turkish ones as well. I went with a pistachio baklava and a slice of honey cake. Honestly, I wanted to try all the cakes and even though they say honey cake is their most popular, there were a few that looked more appetizing. However, slightly convinced by the one other customer there eating her slice of honey cake, I decided to try it. I've only had honey cake once before so I won't act like I know what's best but that time the layers were thinner which I prefer but I like how it wasn't overly sweet despite it being honey forward.

Recently I sent the following e-mail to the Metro29 management and will never go back there again after 5 years of eating there. I was having a quiet political discussion at my table with 2 friends . We were making fun of some of our politicians and others. The next day I was shown a fake e-mail complainiiing about the content of our conversation the day before. My reply to the management of the Metro29 Diner is below. To the Metro 29 Diner Restaurant Management Mr, Kofi, Peter Bota, et al... 4711 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 703.528.2464 Recently, your Manager, Mr. Kofi, treated me to a rare piece of libel and slander. I was shown a printed copy of an E -mail, allegedly written by another patron to the Diner, accusing me of being a homophobic, a racist and anti-feminist. The sender's name and return address was hidden by dark streaks but the "nick name" was "wuhoo". Since I was not provided with a copy I turned the content and the name over to my "legal beagle". At considerable expense he found out the identity of my accuser and recommended that I provide my E-Mail address to Mr. Kofi and invite my accuser to contact me directly. If he does we will proceed with slander and libel charges against him. I was advised to leave the Diner out of this idiotic affair even though Mr. Kofi, as a legal agent of the Metro 29 Diner, unwittingly involved himself in a possible civil suit. Whether he acted on his own or was advised by others to act, he has acted rather unwisely, obviously without competent legal advice.I have not discussed this with any of the Principals of the parent company and I do not intend to do so. We will let this matter lie unless we get another, similar, communication, presented by your legally ignorant manager, or any other agent of the Metro 29 Diner. A lot of mornings now I eat my breakfast at the Georgetown Grill, 1310 Wisconsin Ave, where almost everyone is discussing the mother's milk of Washington: politics. Opinions are heard from all sides and because the guests are mostly well educated and tolerant of diverse views, no one complains about such conversation. Freedom of speech and discourse are respected and lacking ignorant immigrants from Africa, the staff concentrates on their various jobs. They would never think of getting involved in suppressing the patron's quiet and civil speech. I highly recommend that the management of the Metro 29 Diner follow suit unless they want to entertain a suit of a different kind. Even though I have changed my breakfast location in the interest of insuring an undisturbed start to my days, I will occasionally meet my friends and/or employees at the Diner and expect to be treated with the respect I was used to before the unfortunate lapse of judgement of your Manager. I and my employees will enjoy our give and take on the news of the day and will not allow anyone to infringe on our right to discuss the policies of he Government or the Metro's incompetent manager. I suggest that Mr. Kofi go back to Ghana where he may be elected King or Chief Executioner. I appreciate all past courtesies extended to me at the Metro 29 and hope we can go on NOT try to limit anyone's First Amendment rights to civilized FREE speech. Of course since I have seen Peter Bota "hob-nobbing" with the Vice President of the USA, my belief in the political neutrality of the Management has been totally shaken. It seems that it is A-ok for Management to embrace the "second-in-chief" ruining our country, but those of us who do not agree with "lunchbucket" Joe Biden and Peter Bota are supposed to shut up about our views, even in quiet discourse at our own table. I must remind al that there is no "right not to be offended" in the Constitution. The civilized thing to do is to not to listen and go away and/or expound on your belief at your table and leave others to their devices. Sincerely, Alex Rosenthal Arlington, Va read more

Lordt, with a T. The cupcake game has gotten intense over the last five years. There are staples of bakers that crank out these "self cakes" ad nauseam, leading the addicted to all this frosting and cake glory and leaving them with a less than discerning palette. I can't say that about Baked and Wired. Offering a cornucopia of G-PG13 labeled petite gateaux's, ranging from the nostalgic ode (the Unporked Elvis) to the C6H12O6 (look it up - honors chem, so meh) overdoses in snack size ( Uniporn & Rainho), these moist creations are ripe for the picking... However, don't sleep on the barista's camped out in the opposing section - hustling that java, that black gold, that uncut bean juice. When not getting my full Dwight Myers on (google is your friend), I have a penchant for almond milk mochas (@ me or fight me - e da or). The satisfying goodness that was meted out from their La Marzocco or whatevs they were smashing beans and piping filtered water through left the kid on 9. Firmly caffeinated - check, sated cupcake want...chiggity-check. I was ready to dip back to the car with goods to feed the spouse, in-laws and yutes, when lo and behold i spied out of my lil eye, zucchini bread! Oh Shipley Terrace!!!! The pockets were willing...however, the staff was kind enough to point out that my per slice request would far exceed any sensible checking and savings setup, i.e. the whole loaf was cheaper. Loaf was copped. Loaf didn't make it a block. Rest well loaf, rest well. In summation, this joint (Baked & Wired) is fuego, coffee is tasty and well made, customer service is amazing, even on weekends when the line is down the block (i find myself more annoyed at the nubes not understanding the goodness they wish to receive, then at the staff). The spot stays clean and though small and packed and sidewalk space usually occupied, the C&O has a few rest areas right across the street in which a body or two could plop down and sup on their new finds.

I like Baked and Wired & Georgetown Cupcake, and they are both better than CakeLove ICK... Baked and Wired and Georgetown Cupcake are totally different concepts and can't really be qualified as competitors because Baked and Wired is more of a one cupcake at a time kind of place as you drink your coffee and GC is more like buy a dozen, take them home, and share. GC has more flavors and selection because that is their main source of income, Baked and Wired's main source of income is drinks. People need to stop cupcake bashing these stores because they are both small companies that are doing well, employing students, and satisfying the sweet tooth of the DC community. GC is still relatively new and trying to work out the kinks, Baked and Wired has been around longer... they are both good and remember cupcakes should make people happy and not be a source of conflict or bashing. Get over it and go to both depending on your craving, you want a cupcake and to sit down, relax and enjoy it while surfing the web with a coffee go to Baked and Wired, you want them for dinner or to bring home to your family or just one in hand to walk with go to Georgetown Cupcake. Georgetown Cupcake also presents a prettier product. Both businesses are quality in service and product. Also remember GC just opened a few months ago and they are working out the kinks that come with any new business... I mean lately there have been very short lines and an availability of flavors. They aren't running out anymore and their staff is really friendly! Good luck to both businesses, they can thrive together. One thing I will say, while I think Georgetown Cupcake has the better cupcakes in overall flavors, selection, and better basic flavors, Baked and WIred's strawberry cupcake does trump GC... read more

Best bakery in D.C. And that is not said lightly, because I love dessert and have tried almost all of the cupcake places in D.C. B&W beats Sprinkles, Georgetown Cupcakes, Crumbs, the Cupcake Truck, Red Velvet, and Hello Cupcake because: 1. Variety. So many flavors, plus the obvious fact that they bake way more than cupcakes. 2. Coffee and tea. I'm not even a coffee girl, but their iced coffee is excellent. Jasmine green tea was also perfect for a cold day. 3. Employees who are friendly/helpful/attractive, great quotes on the board outside, and bags that say 'get baked.' 4. The person who runs their Twitter account shares my addiction to Game of Thrones. What I've tried: -Tessita cupcake (vanilla cake, chocolate hazelnut frosting, caramel center). Possibly the best cupcake ever. Vanilla cake is dense and moist, and frosting is ridiculous. -Chocolate satin (vanilla cake, chocolate satin frosting). Amazing. -Chai cupcake - pretty tasty -Dirty chai - espresso frosting was way too sugary for me. -Cream cheese brownie - Insane. How is that possible? A half is enough in one sitting, and it's the most creamy, dense, amazing brownie ever. -Raspberry cream cheese brownie - whoa. Not sure that it really needs the raspberry swirl, but I think it works. -Bee Sting (shortbread with honey and almonds) - Possibly the BEST thing they sell. I've been told that the Elvis cupcake is one of the best ever, and that the strawberry cupcake really tastes like strawberries. I just love this place. And sitting out by the canal next to the store on a nice day is like heaven. I would return to DC solely for Baked and Wired. read more

Apparently petty theft is welcome. On the day after Christmas, I witnessed a patron running out the door after a thief who snatched and ran away with his backpack. The guy was alone, so I thought it was nice when I saw another customer ask behind the counter for them to call the police on his behalf while he was chasing after the thief (and probably couldn't call the cops while running). The employee making the decisions was a surly hipster with dreadlocks; he/she refused to call the police and said that there was nothing they could do because the chase had gone down the street. They completely disregarded the fact that the crime occurred on the premises of their establishment to a customer who supports their business. I wonder if they would have reacted the same way if someone absconded with their tip jar or baked goods. I'm not suggesting that it was their responsibility or that they were in on it, but that's the point, all they can do is care just a little bit. They didn't. If the thief was caught, it was no thanks to hapless employees of Baked & Wired The coffee was pretty good, I appreciated the design on the foamed milk, but I could have gone elsewhere for something just as good and would have preferred to go somewhere where they care a little more about the well being of their customers. The baked goods looked really good, but I lost my appetite and I'll never know. read more

My brother and I decided to seize the moment and grabbed some cupcakes to-go, immersing ourselves in the sweet wonders awaiting us. As a first-timer, I relied on instinct to guide my choices. The cupcakes, to my delight, proved to be a symphony of moisture, perfect richness, and downright mouthwatering flavors. The Tessita Cupcake, in particular, caught me by surprise as its frosting carried an unexpected coffee essence (was expecting more of a Nutella flavor). While each cupcake held its own, the crown jewel for me was undeniably the Red Velvet Cupcake. In retrospect, if I were to rewind time, I'd have gone all-in on the Red Velvet - a personal favorite. If you find yourself yearning for a quick and delicious remedy to your sweet tooth cravings, this spot is a must-visit. Let the enchanting array of cupcakes transport you to a world of sugary bliss. read more

To be fair my pals and I spent the weekend stopping by the various cupcake places to do some taste testing, and Baked & Wired still has my vote. They Rock! Not only are the cupcakes the best, they are also homemade tasting, homemade looking, and down right perfect (who needs all the cute stuff on a cupcake to make it taste good, not B & W). So, that is the cupcake side of life. One of my friends had a slice of cherry pie and she was in heaven. It was tart and the crust just flaked when her fork sliced into it. If only they had vanilla ice cream!!! OMG there is the coffee side of life at B & W. Beautifully made cappuccinos - did I die and end up Italy with a slice of American Pie!! Last Saturday they had a Jazz band playing, it was the perfect Spring evening and the doors were open and the place was packed. Free music and a great atmosphere. This place has a lot going for it, who needs just cupcakes - Baked and Wired has it ALL! read more

The best cupcakes ever!! I am seriously obsessed with the strawberry and Smurfette cupcakes. I am a food junkie and have visited pretty much all the cupcake stores out there, and really have never fallen for cupcakes until I came to baked and wired. The cupcakes are made fresh and daily; and simply melts in your mouth. The cupcake batter is moist and soft while the frosting is thick and generous. If you want to try some of the best sellers, you need to pick up your cupcakes early because they won't bake until the following day. The overall vibe of the place is very 'gypsy meets home'. There's a wall that separates the baked goods with the caffeine, so it's your one stop for everything. The one disadvantage is the location. You have to walk down a street, cross a rocky bridge to finally get here. But, I am sure everyone who tries this place once, won't even bat an eye, in order to get another taste of the cupcakes. Simply addicting!! read more

Totally fandemonium over the cupcakes here. Seriously. There are weeks out of the year where I stop by every week to pick up half a dozen cupcakes on my way home from work and for some reason, having these smaller version of a full cake takes the guilt out of the frequent indulging. My favorite flavor: strawberry. Perfectly diced strawberries bursting with flavor with each bite with the impeccable strawberry buttercream frosting on top -- magnifique.] I usually pick up a couple pistachios (because who doesn't love pistachio on cake?!) but do wish they would calm down with the cardamom notes... it can be overpowering for such a subtle nut as a pistachio. Love their dirty chai and their red velvet. You cannot go wrong with their carrot cake or coconut either. Pretty b*tchin' is great as well, but be ready for a complete b*tchfest if you go with her. All in all, a solid cupcake joint in the most historic streets of Washington, D.C. read more

My biggest thanks goes to REMOTE REPAIR CREDIT SERVICES for bringing me out of shame. I'm a mother of 3 kids,I lost my husband 2years ago. He left me and my kids with a lot of debts, student loans, medical bills, tax liens and evictions. The little business I was managing to help my family with was going down, so I called my sister who lives in North Carolina, she introduced me to this Credit Specialist. He did a wonderful job on my credit report. I was amazed when I saw how everything reflected on my profile perfectly. He wiped out the bad items off my report and also loaded my account with $18,000. I got a high score of 786 with a good credit limit. This is all I can say about him compared to other good reviews I read about him on the internet. I will also refer him to anyone out there who is in need of his services. Kindly contact him on REMOTE REPAIR at CLERK dot COM read more

I loved the simple, yet cozy decor. Big leather couches and chairs that just begged you to curl up in them (that's what my buddy and I did). An open, deconstructed floor plan that made it all seem light and airy. The staff there were the perfect compliment to this feel-at-home vibe. Good coffee, awesome selection of specialty teas, great lunch and AMAZING baked goods!! An awesome place to stop for a light lunch, but ABSOLUTELY save room for dessert! The cupcakes are TO DIE FOR!! Better than CakeLove, better than Buzz- just head and shoulders the best cupcakes in DC, and potentially some of the top that have ever graced my lips. My favorites are the chocolate cupcake. What makes these cakes so different and delectable? The cake itself is light and fluffy, the frosting is delicious and the best part is that it's not two sweet (aka you could eat two in a row- YIKES)! read more
