Georgetown Cupcake


Ever wait longer than 5 minutes for a cupcake? How about 30 or 40 minutes, or even an hour? Never? I said that, too. Recently there's been a surge of cupcakeries (or so they are called), and I've been very skeptical. How can a place stay in business only selling cupcakes? I never thought a cupcakery could be successful, much less that I'd be waiting in the cold winter wind waiting 30 minutes for one singular cupcake. That is until I encountered Georgetown Cupcake. There are two locations, the flagship store is located in Georgetown at 3301 M Street NW. Open Monday-Saturday 10 am - 9 pm and Sundays from 10 am - 7 pm, good luck finding a time when there isn't a line out of the door for one of these tasty treats.

Their menu is riddled with everyday cupcakes, daily specials, and even seasonal flavors ranging from Irish Cream Cupcakes in March to Holiday Lava Fudge in December and many many more. I myself indulged in a chocolate ganache cupcake that was so soft and fluffy. The icing was even rich and creamy! I was expecting your typical run-of-the-mill cupcake, with hard icing, but no, the icing was amazing! It was so good, that after walking around Georgetown, I returned for another cupcake - PB Fudge...another heavenly treat!

This skeptic highly recommends this cupcakery for those looking for a nice and sweet treat! If you're ever in the area, be sure to stop by--it's definitely worth the wait! On a scale of 1-5, 5 being the best, Georgetown Cupcake receives, without a shadow of a doubt, 5 out of 5!
