Sorry for the absolutely horrendous drive-by photo, but I noticed the Georgetown Cupcake signage on Robertson & 3rd Street as I was perusing the neighborhood today. While LA certainly doesn't necessitate another gourmet cupcake shop, if you remember correctly back in December 2010, a friend of mine shared some of her overnighted Georgetown Cupcakes from the nation's capital with me and they were pretty spectacular. Here's to hoping the LA outpost will deliver similar results.
The cupcakery, whose DC location is featured on TLC's "DC Cupcakes," plans to open up shop in Los Angeles Fall 2012.
Huh... I used to drive past the one in DC every morning. People would literally camp out overnight to get in line. In the summer, the line would get so long people would come and sell bottles of water to the crowd. Ironically, there were 2 places on the same block that actually sold better cupcakes... minus the two-hour long wait. Also, they had a bouncer...
ReplyDeleteNot surprised they're cashing in on their TV-fame. I'm not a cupcake guy, but I'm sure they'll do just fine out here.
Wow... I was frankly skeptical, but your review gives me pause. May have to give these guys a shot!
