The Best Bakeries Around D.C. | Eater DC

"Georgetown’s locals-favorite coffee shop and bakery dishes out colossal cupcakes, among other baked goods. Widely known as one of the very best cupcake spots in the city, the bakers at Baked & Wired swirl fresh strawberries into the strawberry cupcake and top the cinnamon-laced, Texas sheetcake cupcake with rich chocolate pecan frosting while it is still warm. The lines can get long, but kind service and the view of the glass dome-covered confections lined up on the Carrera marble bar help. A Baked Joint, its sister cafe, has been open for ten years and serves plenty of pastries, famous biscuits, goat cheese-studded foccacia, and loaded breakfast sandwiches in Mount Vernon Triangle as well." - Tierney Plumb
