WASHINGTON — A popular cupcake shop in Northwest D.C. appears to have been shut down by DC Health.
Georgetown Cupcake, located on M Street Northwest, is incredibly popular with District residents, and there is almost always a line out the door. But as of Thursday, it looks like no one will be allowed in.
A D.C. Health Department food establishment violation sign was seen on the door of the shop. The sign said Georgetown Cupcake is closed until further notice. According to the notice, the store presents an "imminent health hazard to the public."
The notice is dated Wednesday, August 10.
We are still working to find out what led to D.C. Health issuing the closure notice. As of Thursday morning, the health department has not posted any kind of official report on its website.
