We got a dozen of them assorted in 2 packs. Absolutely delicious, the frosting and cake both were good. Was skeptical about the mixed reviews of the place but it’s worth the wait time and money.
Visited on Memorial Day it was a really long queue outside the shop, it moves quite fast. And it’s a grab and go place.
The red velvet cupcakes were our favourite. There parking was difficult.
The shop is well maintenance and clean.
I’m not the biggest cupcake eater but theirs are very well-made. The cherry blossom one (only available in certain months) is amazing. My favorite is their cherry cheesecake (not a cupcake) - a cheesecake with cherries and topped with a cherry flavored frosting,
Excellent service and cupcakes. The cupcakes are well balanced in flavor (very true to description), cake-to-icing ratio, and size (a reasonable size for one person to enjoy). An interesting selection of seasonal flavors, with classics such as chocolate peppermint. The store is small but had ample room to navigate other customers. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, the service was excellent. There is space to enjoy a cupcake it two in the shop as well.
We recently visited NYC, stopping by the Georgetown Cupcakes on Mercer Street in the Soho District. This is a famous bakery from the D.C. area that we have very much enjoyed during visits to the nation's capital as well as Boston in recent years. As such, we were quite excited to try their bakery here in Manhattan. We weren't disappointed.
There are a handful of tables to enjoy cupcakes in their shop. Alternatively, you can purchase boxes of cupcakes to take back to your hotel if you want to try a few varieties than is possible to eat during your visit to the bakery.
Of the cupcakes we tried at this Georgetown Cupcakes, we most enjoyed the vegan apple cinnamon and the outstanding lemon cheesecake, which was more of a traditional NYC style cheesecake served up in cupcake form. Sweet graham cracker base and delicious, slightly tarty cheesecake filling - this was just delicious.
In the end, we very much enjoyed the Georgetown cupcakes again. We will almost certainly continue to include stops at their branches where we can find them during our travels.
Best cupcakes in the city of you ask me! Definitely my go to. The cupcakes are so delicious and moist, never fail. The staff are super friendly, always smiling and in high spirits! They even surprised me with an extra cupcake 🫶🏾
Don’t walk, run for these cupcakes. The BEST cupcakes I have ever had and that is the first dessert I try every time I visit a new city. I tried a raspberry cheesecake and peanut butter cupcakes the first day and looooved how good they are and went back the next day for more. This time I got 6 raspberry cheesecake, raspberry lemon cheesecake, lava fudge cupcake, peanut butter lava cheesecake, cookies and cream and red velvet cupcake. Although we had to wait for over 40mins as it was a Saturday afternoon, they are well worth the time. Raspberry cheesecake and cookies and cream are my favorite. If you are in DC area, don’t forget to give these cupcakes a chance and I bet you will get hooked. 5 stars is too less for this store.
Wow! The flavor of the icing on these cupcakes was sooo good! I would definitely come back! Not all of the flavors were listed on the wall menu but you can see them in the display case. I had the butterscotch waffle cone, and strawberry lemonade. Equally delicious, and very filling.
I ordered a Pink Rose and Marble Brownie Fudge Cheesecake cupcake. I loved the cheesecake cupcake but it is super sweet and rich. The pink rose cupcake my husband said was just ok. The decorating is beautiful. This store does not allow you to go in. You must place an order online first but they get the cupcakes to you fast.
Loved the cupcakes. Texture, flavor and buttercream are right on point. Enjoyed it throughout. Cupcake size is small though. Service is good. Will definitely recommend.
i’ve been dying to try cupcakes from here ever since watching the show on tlc lol, worth it. these were april flavors, the hummingbird quite literally made my eyes widen, they all have their own unique flavor and you could easily pinpoint them out. ofcourse will be back
The cupcakes here are so delicious. Taste from heaven. I tired cookies and cream, red velvet and salted caramel. They were all so delicious. I heard about this place and always wanted to come here. Would totally recommend this place for anyone who loves sweets as me.
Have you ever watched DC Cupcake with the owners Katherine and Sophie? The cupcake shop’s name actually Georgetown Cupcake. I tried their red velvet cupcake, it was moist and delicious but still too sweet for my palate. Location is around Soho and not far from Washington square park and NYU. The cupcake shop is not big, but luckily there was no queue when I got there.
I'm never disappointed when I come here! Sure the cupcakes are expensive but what isn't in NYC?? I've gotten cupcakes from many places before and they always leave something to be desired. Little Cupcake Bakeshop, for example, usually has dry cake and overly sweet frosting. Georgetown, however, usually has light and sweet frosting (the peanut butter fudge had buttercream that tasted like a silky PB pie.) It's also not grainy. Their selection is pretty basic with a few seasonal items, but I think that's what makes them reliable; you can come in for a traditional vanilla or chocolate but you can also find a lavender earl grey tea.
The ladies at the front are also always helpful and really nice! Would I come here all the time? No. It IS expensive. But is it worth it during a trip to the city or a special occasion? DEFINITELY! If you're worried about spending too much, skip the delivery and stop by in-person. You can also buy in bulk (half-dozen or dozen cupcakes) to save per cupcake.
Seriously, take a chance and try it out for yourself. Many reviewers here leave 1 star with no explanation why, and that’s sketchy. And for those that thought there was “not enough” frosting … maybe you should buy a jar of frosting from the store instead? Because they DEFINITELY have enough. 😬
