Baked & Wired

I’m so glad that this was my first stop in Georgetown. I ended up buying a half dozen cupcakes and they managed to withstand the heat!
Staff: Very friendly and helped answer any questions I had. They offered a bag to me but I foolishly thought I could eat them all in one sitting. They kindly gave me a bag when I went back and asked for one. Awesome people!
Ambience: The place is a bit crowded but it had a café feel. I ended up sitting outside and it’s nice being off the main street and having the shade of the buildings when the sun isn’t overhead. I will say that the interior is a bit confusing because one side is baked and the other side is wired and so there’s two different lines. Thankfully, I came in at an earlier time on a Sunday and there was virtually no line!
Food: They offered so many different choices than just cupcakes. They had bars, pies, coffees, etc. All them are quite sweet and the cake is a bit dense, but they’re still quite moist. It was on the pricier side (I think it was $ 24 for a half dozen) but because they are bigger and I was on vacation, I felt okay paying that price. Otherwise, if I lived here I may have had to think twice.
Overall, I great place to grab coffee and food to chill.

By far the best bakery in Georgetown! The lines can get long on the weekends, but regulars know to go early morning or on weekdays. If you’re looking for sweets, get gluten free pop-​tarts. They’re pretty bomb, and I am not one to promote the whole gluten craze. Unfortunately, they don’t have them everyday so just ask when you head in. As for cupcakes, strawberry is my favorite.
Now if you’re just looking for a drink you can grab coffee or tea. Soy lattes are really great and the espresso is of fine quality. If you’re not a fan of coffee, go for the chider. It’s like a taste of fall in the summer!

So, I have had my heart set on going to Georgetown Cupcakes if I ever made the trek to DC. Unfortunately steeping off the bus to see the line out their door and around the corner was not pleasant. Luckily though, a fellow bus rider saw me standing on the corner debating what to do and he said, «Baked and Wired has way better cupcakes. Go there instead.»
After hesitating for ONE second, I decided what the heck, if a local tells you there was someplace way better to try, why not try it? I am so glad that I did! Though I didn’t try a cupcake (next time I’m in DC I definitely will… maybe more than one… depending on my mood) I did however try an ice cream sandwich and it was the best thing ever!!!
Blueberry Ice Cream between two Raisin Cookies was the best ice cream sandwich I have ever eaten and I am tempted to take a vacation trip to DC sometime soon just to eat it again. That means a lot if you’re traveling from Hawaii.
To the anonymous young man who gave me the best and most helpful suggestion of my trip, thank you and I wish I could thank you in person to buy you an ice cream sandwich or cupcake.
Baked and Wired is definitely on my MUST RETURN TO LIST in DC.

So for the most part everything is pretty good. Sometimes the cake can be a bit dry which kind of sucks. For the most part when I go everything is really good.
Uniporn is always my go-​to, it is a birthday cake cupcake and has great vanilla cake with sprinkles
Texas sheetcake features okay chocolate cake with good frosting. The frosting has pecans and gives a nice break from the sweetness. The cake doesn’t have too much chocolate flavor or richness.
Razmanian devil Is lemon and raspberry. The raspberry is lacking (we cut it in half to share and there is barely any filling) and the cake was a little dry
Everyone who works there is really nice, and it can get really busy. Totally worth it because the cupcakes are big and shareable ($ 4).

I am not much of a cupcake fan. But seeing these many reviews on Unilocal,I had to check this place out!
The line was long. Had to wait about 10 mins? outside when it was over 93 degree out… I got red velvet, strawberries, and some lemon flavor (forgot the name) and my favorite was the Strawberry! It wasn’t too sweet but had enough sweetness to it with soft cream flavor.
I wanted to order drink as well but the store was too full with too many people inside I wanted to get out as soon as possible. I guess people go crazy for these cupcakes. lol
Price is around ~$ 4 per cupcake which I think is a bit pricey. Service wasn’t too friendly. Would I come back here? probably not. I didn’t feel this place was up the hype.

Mmmm I love me some cupcakes. Baked & Wired has a cool shop front with fantastically unique flavors. I got the dirty chai which did not disappoint! If you eat it too fast it can be too sweet but I love sugar so that’s ok! The cupcake itself is pretty big ($ 4 a piece) and is easily shareable. I came at around 15 minutes before closing time and the line moved very quickly.
Here at baked&wired they are very good with customers, with one employee at the cashier and another retreiving your cupcake unlike Georgetown cupcakes where the line is wayyy slower and the cupcakes are smaller and disappointing.
There’s ample seating on the outside for you to enjoy your massive cupcake. I only wish I got another one instead of going to Georgetown cupcakes!

HOLY COW THESE ARE DELICIOUS.
being from the south I was drawn to the Texas sheet cake cupcake & that was not a mistake bc it was possibly the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth. we also bought a dirty chai (fabulous!!!), pretty Bitchin (which was precisely that & absolutely wonderful), we got two more that I don’t remember but they were equally as good– something double chocolate & one vanilla & chocolate yum.
my father got an ice cream sandwich that had oatmeal cookies & blueberry ice cream & we all wanted to go back the rest of the trip to get one of those as well.
GO HERE INSTEAD OF GEORGETOWN CUPCAKES THEY’RE SO MUCH BETTER I PROMISE!!! you will not regret it at all!!!

What an amazing bakery in Georgetown. I don’t get the hype over GT cupcakes when you have bakeries/​coffee shops like this. The ice cream sammich with vanilla ice cream and blueberry swirl in between two soft baked, slightly salty oatmeal cookies is to die for. It’s $ 5.45 a piece and I thought wow, this better blow me away. The first bite was like rockets and fireworks exploding in my head. Perfect for a HOT day treat!
Environment– cute outdoor patio with about 4 – 5 tables. Inside seating is nestled in the back of building. Looks quiet enough to read or converse with friends.
Food– I also tried the pistachio cupcake and espresso brownie… It was good, but it didn’t blow me away.
The brownie was just a really good brownie… I didn’t get much of the espresso flavor in it.
The pistachio cupcake wasn’t as moist as I thought it would be. The frosting was yummy but maybe some kind of filling on the inside would be nice.
Overall, I will keep frequenting this place. There will be more ice cream sammies to come! I would love to try the salted caramel one next visit!

I was pretty much over Georgetown when my friend recommended we visit Baked & Wired. I reluctantly agreed after having already stood in line at another popular cupcake place in the area and listening to a college student rant about her DC internship and whine over missing her NYC apartment. The cupcakes also weren’t great, but I digress.
Baked & Wired was amazing! I had the Texas Sheetcake (chocolate cake with cinnamon and pecan chocolate frosting). I quickly devoured the cupcake although it was more than enough to share. Who’s sharing?
The coffee also smelled amazing and I’ll definitely be back to try it out. I heard there is normally a much longer line and the shop is small so seating is limited. None of that will stop me from returning.
TL;DR: Cute shop. Delicious baked goods. Have the Texas Sheetcake. Do a little dance and make a little love.

Welcome to dessert heaven! With such an amazing variety of baked goods it was hard to not get 1 of everything. I’ve heard that this place is usually very crowded, but we were lucky and there was no line at all. Ambiance and décor were very chill, but not too much seating. My bf, bff and I got the dirty chai and tessita cupcakes, a brownie and a bar to share. OMG they were all amazing! I have a huge sweet tooth so although I was in sugar overload, I didn’t mind at all. :D There’s also a coffee car attached which have delicious beverages. Skip all the other cupcake joints, this is the only place you need to go to.

This is my favorite place that I love to love and love to hate. Customer service has improved lately, especially on the baked goods side. Usually, there is a high-​fallutin cashier, but lately that has changed. On the other side where there are coffee orders, the service has improved as well. I don’t know if it’s because of the outflux of college students, but I am having an overage a great experience in Baked and Wired.
As always, get here on offpeak times.

I was excited to try this place after seeing all the raving reviews. The cupcakes have a good balance of icing to cake, but the flavors were all simply satisfactory.
I enjoyed my chai, and I tried the other flavors (pistachio, strawberry, smurfette, razmanian, and coconut) but the flavors weren’t out of this world.
I dont understand what the hype is about and I heard from others that this is THE place in Georgetown.
Overall, a decent selection. Appropriate pricing for premium cupcakes. Disappointing customer service. The staff told us to get away from the enterance but there was no where else to go bc we were waiting in the coffee line???). Flavors were okay. But all-in-all…feels just like an east coast Sprinkles Cupcakes with a tad more local pride.
Ill try her again another day. Hopefully with a more fulfilling experience.

Everyone says this place is the
and surpasses Georgetown cupcake. I honestly wasn’t impressed. The flavors they had the day I went, none of them striked me as something I wanted so I settled for the pistachio and my friend got the strawberry.
I was kinda dissapponted in the pistachio and it tasted more like a pistachio chai latte cupcake. My friends strawberry cupcake was def a lot better.
Basically I don’t understand the hype but maybe I’ll give it another chance one day.

Baked & Wired has been at the top of my «To Eat» list for quite some time. And fate was finally on my side as I was able to finally try these cupcakes. Honestly, I don’t think they lived up to the hype. Yes, the cupcakes are huge but didn’t seem very moist to me. They were tasty but didn’t have the moisture I like. The only cupcake that lived up to my standards was the strawberry. Now that is a cupcake I’ll get over and over again.
I don’t think it’s worth waiting in that long line and paying over $ 4 per cupcake but I’m not saying I wouldn’t go back. My friend got these peanut butter cookie sandwiches with chocolate filling and they looked amazing. I can tell that the cookies were nice and soft and my friend said it was delicious. I’ll be trying that next time along with a couple strawberry cupcakes. I give Baked & Wired 3.5 stars for now.

First timer and will be a repeat customer whenever i come visit.
I was overwhelmed with all the choices available on display. I wanted to buy everything! I got the peanut butter with chocolate ganache sammy as well as the carrot cake cupcake.
The sammy was good. The ratio of peanut butter cookie to chocolate ganache balanced each other well. I waited later to try my cupcake at home and decided to warm it up. What a game changer. Super moist and the cream cheese frosting was so decadent! I tried other flavors that my friend got and all were so delicious!
They have other goods such as blondies, rice krispy treats, cookies and ice cream cookies! It smells so heavenly in there. There is a wall separating the coffee side for those wanting a hot beverage. There is also seating in the back.
Street parking as it always is in georgetown. Don’t be intimated by the line that forms outside. It moves quickly!

Clever business name, clever cupcake names, cleverly constructed cupcakes.
The line at B&W can seem pretty daunting, but chances are you won’t wait more than 20 minutes before you’re telling an employee your order. Good thing, too, since there are SO many choices! Plus, I can guarantee you that the queue is because of indecisive folks (myself included), as the employees are super efficient at their job.
I ordered the Flapjack, which is only available on weekends. It’s basically a pancake-​flavored cupcake with maple frosting that has an optional candied bacon topping, which I highly advise opting into (unless you’re a vegetarian, of course). It’s the right amount of sweetness counteracted by the savory bacon, making it a very well-​rounded dessert. Or breakfast. No judgment.
I also got a dirty chai latte to wash down my cupcake with, which was an excellent choice. This is probably one of the most flavorful CTLs I’ve had: not too milky, not too bitter, but, again, perfectly balanced.
Baked and Wired was the main reason why we visited Georgetown — we weren’t staying particularly close compared to other DC neighborhoods — and it was definitely worth the detour!

As a non-​local it seemed like there was no easy way to take the metro to Baked and Wired. So we had a long walk from foggy bottom. Well we walked a lot and it was well worth it to find this gem in the beautiful Georgetown. The shop was filled with tasty treats that I am still dreaming about. Since I couldn’t get 1 of everything I am just going to have to come back here.
The coffee section of the shop was a bit busy but rightfully so as the drinks were spot on. In this section I also ordered a onion and goat cheese quiche as recommended by the staff. We gobbled it up so fast I forgot to take a picture of it to post. Whooooops.
For bakery treats we got the strawberry cupcake and the vanilla cake with hazelnut frosting filled with dolce de leche (the exact name is escaping me). Both cupcakes were delightfully tasty. I am not a huge cupcake fan but I would definitely come back to try more flavors here. Great job B&W!

Delectable desserts.
It’s more than likely you’ll be waiting in a long line to try out these sweet treats. But it’s definitely worth the wait especially since the queue moves quickly enough. We were there around 8PM on a Saturday and only had to wait about 15 – 20 minutes until we got to order.
The moment you step inside you get lost in all of their baked offerings. I was like a little kid in a candy store who wanted everything. I didn’t really get a chance to pay attention to the layout of the store since I was so distracted by the baked goods, and our motive was to get in and out as quickly as possible.
We got a pretty good assortment of cupcakes (the unicorn, strawberry, carrot cake and red velvet) and also ordered the oreo espresso brownie on the side. Generally speaking, the cupcakes were on the denser side and were relatively big (can be easily shared between two). The cake to frosting ratio was around 3 to 1 – perfect for making into cupcake sandwiches. I loved that the frosting was mixed with cream cheese… my favorite. As for the brownie… omg the brownie. It was so delectable — rich, fudgey, chocolatey goodness with swirls of caramel and bits of oreo mixed in every bite.
Prices are on the steeper side. But they are definitely worth the hype. I’d love to go back to try their other options.

About a 15 minute wait in line, but it goes by quickly. We were actually worried we woulding be able to make up our minds in time.
The cupcakes are large! Great for sharing. We settled on the coconut cupcake. The frosting was great, not too sweet and loaded with coconut. The cake was good, not too dry. We also ordered cold brew coffees on the other side of the bakery. Great addition to our cupcake.
A little too busy and loud to get any work done, but a great place to just sit and chat.

I heard this was the better alternative to Georgetown cupcakes (less wait with better cupcakes), so I decided to visit on a Sunday early afternoon. I bought:
1. CARROT CAKE: described as «Moist carrot-​flecked cake with an even balance of spices and crunchy pecans (no raisins here) and cream cheese frosting.» I had this a week after I purchased it, so it was probably not nearly as good as if I had eaten it right away (obviously my fault — not docking any stars for this). However, I will say that the bread was well-​spiced and the cream cheese frosting was delightfully sweet without being too heavy!
2. PISTACHIO: This flavor is only available from Friday — Sunday, and is described as «pistachio spiced cake with a honey cardamom cream cheese buttercream.» The cake itself was very moist, and the cardamom aroma in the frosting is quite strong (which I liked, but definitely not for those who dislike cardamom). However, I thought that the cardamom was overwhelming and masked any of the pistachio flavors.
3. FLAPJACK: I decided to get this because it’s also only available Friday to Sunday. The description on the website is «Maple brown butter cupcake with caramel buttercream and candied bacon on top.» The breading on my cupcake was noticeably dry, which was disappointing, but the candied bacon was a nice touch. I usually don’t really like the addition of bacon on my desserts — I always thought it was a bit tacky and overdone. But this added a perfect level of savory to the cupcake. The frosting was the perfect balance of sweet and rich without being too dense.
The line when I visited was about 15 – 20 people out the door, but the line moved decently quickly and I didn’t mind the wait because the weather outside was so nice. Pricing is a bit on the steeper end, at $ 3.75 per, but this is not really unusual at boutique cupcake stores anymore.
I really wanted to try their Dirty Chai but they were already out by early afternoon (along with another flavor). If i had gone closer to closing, I would have understood, but this was not the case. I can’t imagine how much more limited the options would be in the evening.
I was also mildly traumatized at how oily the cupcake paper was after I was done with the cupcake, but sacrifices must be made for deliciousness. Even with minor complaints, this place is definitely good enough to go back!

Definitivamente los mejores kekitos, pankekes, bollitos, Cupcakes o como les digas! No hay mejor en ningún lado. punto final… Si alguien les mencionan unos que son muy famosos y que tienen su programa de TV no les hagan caso. Baked & Wired son mejores. no hay duda.

Wer in Georgstown/​Washington den Drang nach einem guten Kaffee verspürt: hier wird er befriedigt. Es stimmt einfach, alle Kaffeeangebote schmecken. Man stellt sich im rechten Teil des Ladens in die Schlange, gibt bei der Bestellung seinen Vornamen an und wartet dann geduldig. Ein guter Kaffee braucht seine Zeit.
Im linken Teil des Ladens ergänzen die Backwaren und Süßigkeiten das Angebot. Draußen ein paar Tische und Stühle, wo schon die pfiffigen Spatzen auf Krümel warten. Drinnen ein Raum zum Lümmeln, wo kauzige Typen den Kaffee schlürfen.
Wer auf Klo muss (heißen in den Staaten Restrooms), findet eine Tür zum «Bathroom». Leuchtet die große Lampe über der Tür grün, ist der Raum besetzt.
Und hat der Kaffee geschmeckt, und die Atmosphäre ebenso.
