I figured a post about a great source for caffeinated beverages would be quite fitting for this morning after the long weekend, don’t you agree? The source – Baked & Wired in Georgetown, which is definitely my favorite quirky coffee shop in the DC area. Their coffee and espresso are a mix of Stumptown Coffee Roasters and Intelligentsia Coffee (2 great, high-quality brands) and they use only organic milk (from Trickling Springs Creamery in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania). All of their baked goods (minus the bagels) are homemade too! They’re becoming quite acclaimed for their cupcakes, which come in so many fun flavors like Smurfette (= fresh blueberries baked into vanilla cake, topped with lemon buttercream).
My regular beverage favs include their oolong tea and soy lattes. Has anyone else been? If so, what are your favorite picks?

/ September 7, 2010YES! What a great post…I really miss our frequent visits to B&W. Yummy lattes with cappuccino’s that will keep you up for days. I loved the lemon blueberry cupcake the best and their iced coffee was so good.
You have to go over there this morning :)

/ September 7, 2010I absolutely adore Baked & Wired! It makes any Georgetown trip nicer, I agree :) I like their Birthday Cake cupcake (involves chocolate of course), but I’m going to have to try the Smurfette next time I have a chance to visit DC!

/ September 7, 2010What a great place! And yes, this was the perfect post for a Tuesday morning after a long weekend. That smurfette cupcake sounds amazing! Someone actually just gave me a Gift card for Intelligentsia Coffee. I had never heard of it, but there’s one nearby, so I’m going to check it out soon!

/ September 8, 2010What a charming little coffeeshop! I LOVE DC — didn’t know you lived there. It’s easily one of my favorite cities. I love little places like this — so cozy.
