Georgetown Cupcake

Stopped by here on a whim while walking back to my car from eating at a nearby restaurant. The inside is very clean and pretty. I got a few cupcakes and they are delicious! My favorite flavors are the coconut and the cookies and cream cheesecake. Very very good! The cake is a little on the drier side but this did not take away from the overall deliciousness of the cupcake. I would definitely get cupcakes here again!

After months of researching for pre-​wedding favours to distribute to colleagues. I have decided to go with Georgetown Cupcakes.
I have to say that the service was excellent and I made a right choice choosing them. I emailed the crews umpteen times to explain to them the details of the cupcakes fondant and what I needed and they were extremely patient and reply to my emails promptly. They clearly understood that I couldn’t come down to visit since I was overseas and made my order of cupcakes with them so smooth. It was quite risky to pick the cupcakes without tasting them for wedding but I was glad it was good.
When I collected the cupcakes, the crew was extremely nice and smiling all the way. The store itself needs more tables and chairs, perhaps some water to serve too would be useful. The cupcakes were delicious as reviewed by the colleagues, everyone loved it. The packing of the cupcakes were beautifully done and tied, fortunately, none of the cupcakes were in bad condition or destroyed. The fondant was nicely done as requested. The taste of the cupcakes are a little too sweet for my liking but I am extremely satisfied since all colleagues said it was so good.
Highly recommended, I would give it a ⁸⁄₁₀ rating. Price range is quite costly for cupcakes plus packaging but it is definitely worth it.

Delicious! Today I tried the Lava Fudge cupcake and it was divine! Perfect cream cheese frosting, moist chocolate cake and chocolate ganache center. Amazing.

Love it love it love it! It’s not typical very very sweet cheap cupcakes. So $ 3 for one small cupcake.
But boy, it’s totally worth the hype. This buckhead bakery has a huge variety of cupcakes to choose from every day. The definitely rotate flavors all the year round. I went there during Christmas, and found holiday flavors such as gingerbread and peppermint!
The buttercream above was all so smooth and fluffy. The chocolate base was more than good too. Words cannot describe the taste, or maybe I was a little sugar high ;P You need to try them to believe it. It’s better than Gigi’s.
The interior was extremely clean at the time I was visiting considering their tables decors were all white. Service was good too.

Poor customer service! Paid for a large order 2 business days ahead for a company event only for the order to arrive late on the delivery date (despite being initially told it would arrive within a certain time frame) and to top it off our cupcakes were damaged. We looked like fools waiting around for a late order and for it to arrive in horrible condition. Constantly had to call the store to get a ETA with a different story about what was happening each time. This was our first time using Georgetown but never again. Save your money and go to another cupcake shop in Atlanta that provides better service and reliability.

I came here with my girlfriend and we got the half dozen for $ 18, saving $ 1.50 total because each is $ 3.50. They had many options but everything sounded the same. Parking was a hassle but free validation is available. The gingerbread cupcake was good, frosting a little on the sweet side and the cake not as moist, but perhaps because we came during closing time. No seats — only 2 tables with 2 chairs each.

Hands down the best cupcake place out there. My first experience was at Georgetown in D.C. and when I heard this one will be opening up in Buckhead, I was super excited!
You can’t go wrong with any of their flavors so be spontaneous and try flavors you wouldn’t normally consider. The staffs there are nice and friendly and they’re willing to share their honest opinion.
The place is usually pretty quiet so it’s a little awkward to sit down in the store (there’re about 2 – 3 tables inside) — most of the people seem to get their cupcakes to go and leave.

Good Cupcakes but service needs a little pep in their step.
It might have been that the girls had an all nighter in Buckhead bars but at least give me a smile and ask if I need help. There are other cupcake places that do it better and with a smile.

The cupcakes are ok for the price. Perhaps I’ll try try some more flavored next time. But I don’t think their cupcakes are anything to write home about. The atmosphere and packaging gets 5 stars the cupcakes get 3.

So my family and I took a trip to DC a couple of summers ago and one of places on our list to visit was Gorgetown cupcakes since we were a fan of DC cupcakes on TLC. We stood in thier long line and paid about $ 3 each for a tiny cupcake. But once we took a bite out of it, it was pure heaven. My family loved ot and it was probably the best cupcake I’ve ever tasted and I’m not not a big sweets fan. You can tell that they used only the fine ingredients.
When I found out they opened a bakery here, I was so excited. The hubby and I finally got the time to check it out this past week. We bought a half dozen pack which were $ 18. We chose 6 different cupcakes. I took a bite out of the first one and it wasn’t how I remembered. Took a bite of another one thinking it was just that one flavor and that too was just ok. It wasn’t as moist and the frosting was a little to sweet. It didn’t wow me like when we first tasted them at their orginal location in DC. My husband thought so too. With that being said, it was still good. We’ll probably go back again when we’re in the area and give it another try since they’ve only been opened a few months. If you ever go in DC you’ll have to go to their bakery there.

Best in all of atlanta !!! Selection is always fresh and best cupcakes in Buckhead area
Salted caramel is awesome !!
Month of August special (blueberry cheesecake best one can ever have and very mysterious r crust one has got to try
Every month have at least 3 different unquote flavors of the month
Also have gluten free and even Vegan base cupcakes options
Sorry sprinkles you guys have lost your game; 4 years ago
No other place like Georgetown
Very close to trader joes in the Buckhead district !!!

$ 3 for a small cupcake is hardly worth it. You get more icing than the cake itself. The place is white on white and it has a spacious back. But only 2 small tables with 3 chairs each. This seems more like a grab and go.
They do serve coffee as well.
The cupcake isn’t very moist but not very dry either but it is small. It is very costly for one cupcake to be at $ 3. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to eat here but if you’re in the neighborhood and if you’re curious.

Georgetown Cupcake is right next to my office, so I love stopping by to grab a sweet treat or drink during lunch breaks. The Atlanta site is still relatively new, so it’s always clean and fresh when you walk in, which I greatly appreciate.
While I’m not the biggest fan of sweets or cupcakes, there are some tasty options here at Georgetown. Through various events and occasions, I have tried a good amount of flavors: red velvet, vanilla birthday, chocolate cubed, coffee cookies and crème, salted caramel, chocolate ganache, etc; my favorite flavor to date is their blueberry cheesecake. In all honesty, it’s not even a cupcake — it’s a cheesecake in cupcake form, with a graham cracker crust, a layer of blueberry cheesecake, then a little cream cheese frosting on top, but it’s one of the tastiest treats I’ve had from them.
Tip: for those days you are deliberating to grab a cupcake or not but don’t want to hurt the wallet, find out the secret flavor of the day and voila! Free cupcake. 1 per person, give away 100 per day, per location.

I stopped by Georgetown cupcake one day while I was shopping in the area… and I am glad I finally get to try this place out. I have heard many great things about Georgetown Cupcakes so my expectations were pretty high. I took my three nephews here and got a red velvet cupcake, chocolate birthday, vanilla birthday and just regular vanilla. Out of those four, I only liked the regular vanilla. The red velvet weren’t moist as I would like, and the chocolate birthday and vanilla birthday were way too sweet. Also, the chocolate birthday were pretty hard… and I don’t know if it’s because we came later in the day or not… but definitely didn’t met my expectations. The regular vanilla were moist though and so I gave Georgetown Cupcakes. I might stop by again in the future, but probably won’t go out of my way to stop by here.

I know the hype, I knew Georgetown Cupcakes had arrived in Atlanta, but I didn’t realize it was RIGHT here in the heart of Buckhead. It’s located in the same new Buckhead development as Shake Shack — sounds like intense heartburn waiting to happen.
I walked in to the empty shop, where all three workers greeted me, since it seemed like they were far from busy at 11:30 AM. I browsed for a while before finally asking what was popular, which the girl behind the counter noted to be the chocolate ganache and the red velvet. When she noticed I wasn’t too convinced, she also recommended the chocolate salted caramel and the key lime. I ended up giving in to the chocolate salted caramel (I can never turn down a caramel core cupcake, WHAT) and the classic red velvet. I ordered these to go, as well as a 16 oz. iced coffee with a bit of skim milk.
The salted caramel ice cream didn’t make it home, unfortunately, and kind of slid off the cupcake, even in the sturdy to go box. However, that caramel core was the bomb. I definitely recommend that one. I tasted the red velvet, and that was pretty good as well, but it wasn’t the best I’ve had, either. I struggled with the rating for Georgetown, especially because of the loftier price and slightly above average cupcakes.
A solid addition to the cupcake options in Atlanta, but Georgetown Cupcakes will definitely need to step up their game to compete with the other cupcakes specialists that have been around locally for a while now.

Georgetown cupcakes is a gourmet cupcake place that recently made its expansion to Atlanta from Washington DC. It’s really hit the scene running, partly perhaps because of the location (with Shake Shack and other places nearby opening up its a very happening location) and partly because people have been raving about it. I recently came upon this place by word of mouth, friends said that this place was a must try, one of the best cupcakes they’ve ever tasted.
Georgetown cupcakes doesn’t disappoint, it is one of the better cupcakes you can get in town. When you enter, you will notice a large variety of cupcakes on a menu, and a selection of cupcakes to choose from in a display that changes daily. On my trip there I chose 3 cupcakes, Chocolate ganache, cherry blossom, coffee cookies and cream. Eating into the chocolate ganache, you first notice how moist the cupcake is. The outside although a bit dry, gives way to a really moist center with the chocolate complementing the cupcake very well without too much icing. The cherry blossom’s icing was sweet, but not overly sweet, although the cupcake wasn’t as moist.
At $ 3 a cupcake, its not a bad deal and certainly worth a visit every now and then. One word of warning, I would not try to over order and get too many. The cupcakes do not taste as good when you refrigerate them or save them for later. They taste very moist and yummy right when you order them, so its best not to order too much and save it for later.

I will probably give it a try again, but out of the 5 flavors that I tried out of their Friday specials, only one was good, which was the chocolate peanut butter cheese cake.
Sorry, I still think Cami cakes and Sprinkles are better…

I’ve been to Georgetown Cupcakes in DC so I was super excited to hear that it opened here. I got the chocolate coconut cupcake and the mocha fudge cupcake. They both tasted very good. I was hoping for more original flavors to choose from, though.

I think this location just opened. The cupcakes were fab but there is no seating. Only a couple seats inside and nothing outside.

I really really really did not want to drop a star because the cupcakes are a perfect 5. The customer service from my first visit was not impressive. I’ll extend more on that later on.
I’ve heard about Georgetown cupcakes from a few friends who visited the D. C area a few times, I was so curious one day and wanted to order a dozen online and pay nearly $ 40 just for cupcakes. However, when I found out there was a Georgetown cupcake coming to Atlanta, I got really excited and patient at the same time. I stopped by after a visit from shake shack. I only knew it was open because I saw someone else carrying the bag of cupcakes. When you first enter the store, there isn’t that many tables to sit and enjoy your cupcakes, probably at most there were 2 – 3. I saw the owners as well, I didn’t get a chance to say hi, because I was really excited about the cupcakes. They had so many flavors to choose from, and there were special flavors each day. I was getting pretty overwhelmed and did not know which ones to pick. I couldn’t even decided if I wanted half a dozen, a whole, or just a few. I ended up taking home 4 though.
Mocha Fudge:
I love the distinct chocolate fudge star decoration on the cupcake, so simple but pretty. Anyways, I tasted a good amount of mocha and fudge. The best part about this cupcake: it had ganache filling in the middle! I’ve never had a cupcake in Georgia that had filling inside. The perfect balance of sweetness also, the cake was very moist, and I didn’t even scrape off half the frosting because it was just that good.
Gluten Free Strawberry Fudge:
I like how they offer a few gluten free flavors, I might have missed the others but this was great as well. I can tell they use a few fresh ingredients because the strawberry flavor tastes like a it had a bit of strawberry purée in the frosting. This also had the ganache filling inside and was yummy also!
Coconut:
I wasn’t a huge fan of this particular one. I love love coconut, but on a cupcake I rather pass. I prefer it in dessert cookie bars. The cake was chocolate, and the frosting was vanilla with coconut shreds on top. I think this was the sweetest I had out of the 4 I tried, not overbearingly sweet though. Still, the cupcake was moist, and frosting was good.
Red Velvet:
I had to try at least one classic flavor. I normally don’t really prefer red velvet anything. I like red velvet, just don’t really love it. This was actually much better than the coconut, the frosting was at a perfect sweet level. The cake had that red velvet taste, and it was just simply great. I believe they did use cream cheese, I didn’t pay much attention but it was probably there.
I plan to come back in a few weeks or less whenever the crowd dies down to try more flavors. The price per cupcake is $ 3, I’d say it’s worth it because I can really taste the fresh ingredients and I love it when i can eat a cupcake without scraping most of the frosting off. Now my complaint about the service: the cashier i had was totally rude and not energetic at all. Obviously, I was one of the new customers who has never been, and she looked like she didn’t want to be there. The entire time I was trying to pick out the flavors, she didn’t even ask did I need help, or «I can tell you more about etc etc» How awkward. I wanted a salted caramel cupcake, and I was fine that they ran out, but how was I suppose to know if the cupcakes on display couldn’t be sold or not? She said it a rude tone, and not one single smile the entire time. I am so glad the cupcakes lives up to their reputation, otherwise I would not be back because of her service. Not all the employees were this unfriendly, some actually gave a smile, which was nice. So maybe i can give this a ⁵⁄₅ one day. Definitely try these cupcakes out, because they are very well worth it. You can find parking in the garage nearby, 1 hour gives you free parking.
