Baked & Wired
1052 Thomas Jefferson St NW, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Baked & Wired is a Georgetown institution beloved for show-stopping cupcakes with creative flavor combinations like Chocolate Doom and Razmanian Devil that locals rave about as some of the best they've had in decades. The pastries are beautifully presented and made with real care—whether you're after traditional favorites like German Chocolate Cake or adventurous options like Vegan Oreo—though fair warning: the hype is real and so are the lines, especially during peak hours. Come early, decide fast, and you'll understand why people wrap around the block for their indulgent, exceptionally moist treats.”

The cupcakes are big, well presented + packaged and they taste good. Overall, the place is a bit overhyped for the price and wait. The service and crowd management can definitely be improved. The staff seemed sufficient, yet they were yelling at customers to not block the door instead of politely guiding them on where to wait or better- managing the door to control how many customers could enter and wait comfortably at a given time. One of the staff even rolled their eyes when we asked to add one more cupcake at checkout — requiring them to walk barely 2 feet to grab and place a ready to go cupcake into our box. Otherwise, they are clearly popular and in a very busy and enjoyable part of the town.
Came here for dessert and I could see why the line was nearly wrapped around the block. I had the gluten-free chocolate chip cupcake and my husband had the carrot cake and red velvet cupcakes. We were very pleased! 😋 🧁 So delicious!
A great place for cookies, cupcakes, and other sweets. You have to make a quick decision on what you want to get because they start asking what you want right after you walk in if there’s a line. Overall really good baked goods. Highly recommend the lemon crunch bar, great creativity and even better lemon curd. Cookies were solid, got ginger molasses and peanut butter. Cupcakes were nice too, a little pricey though. Super nice area with a little bridge nearby and other restaurants and bakeries. A little hard to find parking.
Best cupcakes we've had perhaps in decades. We tried the "Chocolate Doom" and "Razmanian Devil" flavors and both cupcakes were exceptionally moist, light and airy with a perfectly balanced, and topped with a not overly sweet rich, creamy, smooth frosting, which enhanced the cake flavors. Worth going out of your way to try. See my posted photos if you need further pursuasion.
A large variety of cupcakes and all are delicious. Favorites are the Vegan Oreo and German Chocolate Cake (both shown). Can be a big line at peak times so would recommend coming earlier in the day. The coffee is good & everyone is very nice! Very limited seating.
