- KarenJanuary 3, 2013I used to always get the red velvet but now I also love the black and white - a little more dark chocolate flavored but still with vanilla icing and amazing chocolate sprinkles.
HW LeeJuly 14, 2017Lemon blueberry bursting with juicy berries! Mini sizes were just as moist and flavorful as the regular cupcakes. Also sell cupcake delights for pooches ❤️
PaigeJuly 26, 2012Tried these a day after I purchased them and they were better a day old than Georgetown's were fresh!! The red velvet was PERFECT and that's hard to say. Also, the staff was so NICE. A++++
Carl AndersonApril 29, 2013Awesome, awesome shop. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the cupcakes delish. I went with the S'More Cupcake, and would HIGHLY recommend it to others. A bit messy though so use a fork

Kris-ten ParksMarch 31, 2013Just passed by here while waiting for Georgetown Cupcakes to open but I love cupcake wars so I had to stop in. The red velvet made my eyes roll in my head! So delish!
Washington Business JournalMarch 14, 2011WBJ's Top Shelf says: "It will be interesting to see how Sprinkles will compete with Georgetown Cupcake. The store should persuade some to vacate the long lines at Georgetown Cupcake" (WBJ 3/11/11)
BrandieNovember 22, 2020Really good! The cakes perfect, but the frosting is a little too sweet and much for me
MUCH shorter lines at this Georgetown cupcakery and yumm-o cake! There's a private party room upstairs - perfect for a tween's birthday.
Roniel TesslerFebruary 24, 2017The strawberry cupcake is the most consistently fresh and delicious cupcake here 🍓
Camille WrightMarch 4, 2015The chocolate chocolate cupcakes are delish! So much better than Georgetown Cupcake!
Kylee HarveyFebruary 15, 2013I've been here twice and I love the amount of frosting! I need the same amount of frosting and cake!
Samantha CastagnaMarch 28, 2013Original cupcake place! They had barely any flavors left, so be sure to go early in the day!
TheCupcake CriticApril 15, 2012Love'em...gotta get their strawberry, coconut or vanilla. Their key-lime is the best but is seasonal. Read more
The gluten-free red velvets are some of the best gluten-free cupcakes in the city.
Leah BrayMay 1, 2012Frosting shots!! Tried the s'mores cupcake, it was fantastic. I agree, way better than Georgetown Cupcake.
Katie AllenOctober 1, 2013Best cupcakes in DC and they are giving furloughed workers a free cupcake today. Thanks!!!'
Mike ReidNovember 29, 2012Tried the red velvet today. Very nice. Will try other flavors on the next visit.
Chantel ESeptember 22, 2013I love their vegan red velvet. Its super moist, you can't even tell its vegan.
Cupcake CrusadersJanuary 27, 2012Crusader Elisa loves the Red Velvet and Cinnamon Sugar! The Apple Caramel is great too!
Tyler HastingsNovember 21, 2014Good cupcakes, although they usually taste the same to me anyways. Very limited seating.
John SullivanApril 23, 2016Good cupcakes my wife says she thinks Georgetown Cupcake is better though.
Michael WalshJune 15, 2012Be prepared to never buy a cupcake from anywhere else again. These cupcakes are amazing!!!
My favorite cupcake store in myriad of cupcake joints in dc
Aubrey Faith-SlakerNovember 27, 2011Not only do they have gluen-free cupcakes, but they have frosting shots!! Score!!
Kelly MNovember 17, 2011Chocolate marshmallow cupcake is phenomenal. Strawberry has good frosting but cake nothing special.
Hathanh NguyenJuly 2, 2013The vanilla cupcake icing was too sweet and had way too much icing. Didn't understand what was so special about the red velvet either..
