    Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookie
    Nicole Y.

    You can't visit Leavenworth without stopping at The Gingerbread Factory! Located conveniently on Front Street, this charming bakery is famous for its delicious desserts and everything gingerbread. We visited the bakery early before it got busy and took out time exploring the bakery. I'm not going to lie, I really wanted to order one of everything! We did finally decide and ordered- Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookie, chocolate chip cookie and German chocolate cookie. I couldn't tell you which one was my favorite as they were all so delicious! I also enjoyed a maple cinnamon coffee which perfectly complimented my cookies! Great service and delicious desserts.. I'm a fan!!!

    This was my first time visiting Leavenworth -- the charming little Bavarian village tucked away in the backcountry of Washington! Walking down the town's main road, Gingerbread Factory is one of the first whimsical storefronts that catches your eye. The owners also run Andreas Keller, the popular German restaurant just downstairs. The bakery has been around since 1988 and got a fresh remodel in 2011! The moment you step inside, you're transported to a storybook scene -- think fairytale cottage vibes with a faux tree, ornate wooden window frames, and cozy indoor picnic tables. The back room houses the main bakery counter, along with gingerbread houses, themed merchandise, and treats lining the walls. They offer cookies, cupcakes, croissants, ice cream, and more! - Coffee Chip Ice Cream -- one of my all-time favorite flavors, with bold espresso notes and rich chocolate chips. My family and I ended up playing a round of Catan at one of the tables. Such a cozy way to enjoy our dessert! The line moved quickly, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Definitely worth a stop for a sweet treat and a taste of gingerbread magic!

    The Gingerbread Factory was an absolute must-stop during my trip to Leavenworth. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a beautifully decorated large tree on the right, with an inviting display of bakery goods straight ahead. It instantly puts you in a festive mood. There are a few tables available if you want to sit and enjoy your treats, but I was on my way to dinner, so this was more of a quick (but memorable) stop. We were lucky to visit when it wasn't too busy, especially since I had heard this place often has lines. The selection went far beyond just gingerbread. There was an array of baked goods including cheesecake, cookies, and mini cakes, along with a small coffee menu to choose from. Since I wasn't heading back to my hotel right away, I avoided anything that needed refrigeration and opted for a raspberry scone instead. I know... coming to the Gingerbread Factory and not getting gingerbread is a bit ironic but I couldn't help myself. The scone was delicious, and the fact that it was made the same day definitely made a difference. I'd absolutely come back to try the gingerbread next time and maybe enjoy it with a cup of coffee. Until next time!

    We got the Leavenworth really early and there was no line whatsoever. BUT when we went back like 3 hours later, omg the line was like a 45 minute wait... the service was great at both times, considering how busy it was. The place itself was cute, great for photo-ops if it's not busy, and so cute, cozy. The chocolate chip cookie was TOP TIER. Omg the chocolate chip was so f good, I ate the whole thing in a spend of 1 minute lol. I usually dislike gingerbread but they actually taste good here. We originally got hot cocoa at another place and was highly disappointed, so we got here and felt so much better lol. Worth the wait? I absolutely thing it is but that's all up to you and try it!

    Wish I could try everything here! We had a couple cookies. Would love to return to try the GIANT cinnamon roll! Best part ... the Biscoff cookie looked yummy .... I asked if they had a Biscoff Latte, it wasn't on the menu but the barista offered to use their cookie butter to make one and his effort was top notch!

    Had to stop at the gingerbread factory on our trip to Leavenworth. When you walk in the first thing you see is a wall of gingerbread houses. Then you get in line to order. I got a gingerbread man and a hot chocolate (they make it with milk not water). The cookie was soft and delicious. Nice sitting area to eat and even do some work if you wanted. The employees were nice and quick. Is it overpriced? Probably, but it's not something you can have anywhere anytime and arguably this is the best bakery for gingerbread around so I thought it was worth trying. I believe the cookie was $3.50 and the hot chocolate was $7.50

    The cookies were very tasty if very over priced. However, stay far away from the drinks!!! The roast tastes like they burned the coffee beans. We got three espresso-based drinks, one raspberry mocha (no raspberry flavor), a brown sugar cinnamon latte (just tasted burnt but could taste the cinnamon), and another cinnamon latte that had NO flavor - they evidently didn't add ANY flavor whatsoever. The fourth drink was an Italian soda with 2 flavors where they forgot one of the flavors. They did 2 drinks at a time and we were the only customers in there. So it wasn't like they were overwhelmed. Maybe that should have been a clue. It's unfortunate because I was so looking forward to trying this place since they have good reviews.

    Tasty little treats after a nice walk around the cute village. Service was quick as we came in before the lunch crowd. The strawberry cheesecake was excellent and so was the snickerdoodle! You can't miss the smell of gingerbread from street.

    What a hidden gem! The name of the establishment is Gingerbread Factory, but there are so much more sweets selections inside! It's a child's favorite place for sure with all of the amazing treats. There are cupcakes, cookies, bread, bundt cake, ice cream abs so much more. The line is quite long, but it goes by quickly. There are a lot of seatings available inside as well. Each table is a booth.

    Saw this place as a must try when in Leavenworth. We got a chocolate chip cookie per my daughter's request and I got a 16 oz iced vanilla cold brew. Cookie was pretty big which it was $3.95. Took a bite, it was soft and still tasted fresh. They have cute sit in/dine in areas in the store to enjoy your food and beverages. Service was quick and they were pretty nice.

    Very cute shop on Front street. I was there super early so no line and I grabbed a Biscoff cookie which was so perfectly ooey gooey. I could tell it probably gets really busy later in the day but I had a very pleasant and quiet experience! Lots of cute gingerbread cookies but I can't speak for how they taste -- hopefully not just for show!

    The Gingerbread Factory is such a cute place with delicious options, an absolute must for anyone visiting Leavenworth! I can personally vouch for the stuffed biscoff cookie which is one of the best cookies I've ever tasted. I've also enjoyed their latte options and had a wonderful quiche. Friends have raved about the iced gingerbread cookies, black licorice ice cream, and lunch offerings including tortellini salad and a wrap. The food always looks incredible and the service is quick and friendly.

    We stopped the Gingerbread Factory just to look around and was pleasantly surprised that they had mini vintage cakes! It happens to be our anniversary and we just got their last red velvet cake. It was beautiful, affordable, and delicious! This place is so cute, I recommend just coming in to look around and you might find a treat that tickles your fancy. Their staff are very warm and friendly.

    Are any cookies or pastries gluten free?

    Are the gingerbread cookies vegan friendly?

    I would assume such a seasonal thing like that would be vegan friendly these days, but you can always call or contact them via social media to find out.

    Any dairy free cookies?

    Yes, they have some vegan options which are, by nature, dairy free.

The flight was a little over $20, and we got five pours that were selected by the staff at the front desk. They chose great varieties -- a good mix of dry and sweet wines from different European countries, which made the tasting feel well-rounded. I liked that the staff brought the orders directly to the table instead of calling out numbers, especially since the place was pretty loud with all the commotion of people being seated. The layout was also nice: There is an upstairs and a downstairs, with upstairs set up for larger groups, and downstairs geared toward dates, or smaller parties of four or fewer. There is a clean bathroom, but it is located upstairs. Do not go downstairs to look for it because you will end up wandering toward the kitchen area lol We also got the schnitzel, which was uniquely hung -- something that I have not seen. It came with two different cheeses, and I really wish that had been labeled on the plate. Not a big issue, but I like to know exactly what I am eating. Meanwhile, the wine flights had a little written card on the side to specific which pour was what flavor. Maybe that it is me being picky, but it would have made the experience clearer and more organized. This spot felt like a dive bar, but much cleaner. It was not bad

What we got was some of the best pizza we've had anywhere, full stop. The crust alone deserves its own fan club. Perfectly blistered, airy, crisp on the outside with that chewy, authentic bite you only get when someone actually cares about dough. You can taste the quality of the ingredients immediately. This isn't "brewery pizza." This is legit, crave-it-again pizza. And then there's Summer, the owner. She served us herself and embodies everything people love about Leavenworth and small-town businesses done right. Warm, welcoming, proud of what she's built, and genuinely invested in every table having a great experience. That kind of hospitality changes a meal into a memory. The drinks absolutely hold their own too. Great beers across styles, excellent cider options, and a menu that goes well beyond pizza. But honestly, the pizza alone is worth the trip with kids, friends, or anyone who appreciates real food made by real people who care. Families: this is your spot.
