To start they are overpriced for what you get and there was a long line. Despite the line we decided to try it. The location is convenient, inside is nice, and the cupcakes looked delicious. As for the cupcakes themselves, the standard vanilla on vanilla was delicious. However, the chocolate peanut butter cupcake tasted horrible. The peanut butter tasted as if it was made with salted butter, and the chocolate had a burnt coffee taste to it. The purple unicorn (essentially vanilla with food coloring) tasted as if it was just cream cheese that sat out for a week as the “icing” was crunchy. The actual cupcakes were hard and lacked and sort of freshness. My wife ordered Gluten Free, and could barely get through one, as it was hard, crunchy and tasteless. The staff were cold, just pushed people along. That being said the gentleman boxing the cupcakes was amazing, super friendly and funny. For the amount we paid, we were highly disappointed. We expected so much better, especially with all the bakeries in the city. Would not recommend.

Best cupcakes I've ever had! The cream is so thick, you'll feel the richness in each bite. I would recommend trying the red velvet one, it's out of the world. They made my 2-dozen order ready even during a snow storm! So hats off to the staff.

Not sure how I didn’t know about Georgetown Cupcake (probably because I just moved from Texas) I was looking for birthday cake and a friend told I should order cupcakes instead from here. My friend was right and I’m glad I ordered from here!!! These really are amazing fabulous cupcakes. SUPER moist with the buttercream frosting.... Absolutely wonderful. I could have eaten a full dozen. The size is like the kind you make at home, not the giant ones like Sprinkles or Costco. Reasonably priced, the hardest part will be deciding which flavor you want!!! I will definitely be ordering again and recommending to ALL!

They usually have two flavors of vegan cupcakes , it's either carrot cupcakes or apple cinnamon. I got the apple cinnamon which was ok but pricey $$$ for the size. The To-go packaging was super cute. My friend got the chocolate ganache and one more cupcake that had eggs so I couldn't try them but he said they were so-so. I appreciate that staff wore gloves while picking up.the vegan cupcakes and packed it separately from the non vegan cupcakes. My friend who was their customer had restroom emergency but they refused saying the restroom was closed which was unfortunate. Won't be going again, it was ok for one time.

Location has gone downhill. It’s a shame what’s happened to this location. It’s been going steadily downhill for the last few years and now doesn’t even come close to being an actual “Georgetown Cupcake” location. The bakers don’t even seem to know how to adorn the cupcakes (see photos below). Toppings are missing or the frosting is a sad small squirt that covers only half the cupcake. Butterscotch waffle cone cheesecake is one of my seasonal favorites, but the cupcake I bought today was basically plain cheesecake with a frosting that seemed like a cross between caramel and the original butterscotch. Not to mention, the waffle cone and hazelnuts that usually top it were missing (see the photo). The coconut creme cheesecake was light on frosting and was overcooked (see the photo). The peanut butter cheesecake’s frosting was spilling over on the side, and the chocolate sundae was missing the fudge core. It was disappointing all around. I try to go once a month for the monthly specials but at this point it’s hit or miss. Sometimes you get a delicious cupcake, and other times it’s barely a step above Wegman’s grocery store. It’s not worth the price anymore. It’s a shame what this location is doing to the GT Cupcake brand. It’s not even close to the standards. Management needs to step in.

Great selection of cupcakes. They are super delucious, on the smaller side, which I love, not crazy sweet - just right and are always made fresh and moist. Love popping in for a quick treat when in the area. And the added bonus - Thinking Cup is next door, so you can get a nice espresso afterwards.

Dear Georgetown, please don't sell product made with bad materials or expired things. I had severe abdominal pain & lose motion after consumption of your cupcakes! Please don't make people more sick in this pandemic!

Favorite cupcake place in boston. Wasn’t much of a selection when I went today but my family still enjoyed it. My all time favorite is the Peanut Butter fudge cupcake. I tried the gluten free strawberry lava fudge and it was surprisingly very delicious. The frosting on on these cupcakes is definitely the star, the amount they put is perfect. The cake tastes moist and not too sweet or cheap. I give 5 stars for multiple amazing visits and will be back again!
