Ugh as if ... Leavenworth couldn't get any cuter?! This Gingerbread shop was one of my favorite highlights and things to look forward to in this Bavarian town. My favorite holiday cookie is gingerbread, so was very excited there is a whole shop dedicated to it! It's like Christmas all year to me! The moment you walk in you are greeted by the cutest "gingerbread house" with gingerbread houses adoring the opposite wall that leads into the shop. From there, there are many assortments of pastries cookies and even coffee for you to choose from! My favorite is always the original! Definitely worth a visit when coming to Leavenworth! read more

Bakery heaven! My mom said to stop by this place for the best sugar cookies in Leavenworth and I agree. We got a gluten free sugar cookie and a vanilla one. The cookie was thick, soft, and flavorful. The vanilla frosting was fresh and delicious. They reminded me of those pink sugar cookies you get at the grocery store but 10x better. Service was quick and prompt. We opted to take our cookies to go but there was some seating if you wanted to stay. read more

The Gingerbread Factory - Bakery case - Bakeries Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

If you're visiting Leavenworth, the Gingerbread Factory is definitely worth the stop--but try to time your visit carefully. During peak times you may find yourself waiting in line for 20-30 minutes. The good news is the line moves quickly, and there's plenty to look at while you wait. The main line is for the incredibly tempting cookies and drinks, while a separate counter to the right is dedicated to food orders and is usually much shorter. Near the entrance, there are charming displays of gingerbread houses and detailed dioramas that serve as a fun distraction while you wait your turn. Once inside, the display cases are filled with an amazing variety of treats--cupcakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, Linzer and gingerbread cookies, and many other delicious options. Everything looks so good it's hard to choose! We ended up ordering three cookies per person and happily stretched them out over the next few days. Before heading back to Seattle, we made one last stop to grab a to-go box for the road and for home. Totally worth it. Yummo! Also, there is a small Gift Shop all things Gingerbread. read more

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!!! read more

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! read more

Ok for a gingerbread factory I was somewhat expecting more gingerbread but there were only 2 kinds of gingerbread cookies there- a heart one with vanilla frosting and then a naked (aka plain) gingerbread man. The rest are either sugar cookies or chocolate chip. I got the biscoff stuffed cookie and while biscoff on its own is pretty great this cookie just needed a little bit of salt to give it a good flavor. Have you ever had biscoff cookie butter with a honey pretzel? That kind of salt would've kicked it up a notch. Next time I'd probably go somewhere else to satisfy my sweet tooth but this was a cute shop and on par with the Leavenworth theme read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

The biscoff filled chocolate chip cookie is hands down one of the best cookies I have ever had. If I wasn't heading back over the pass when I started eating it I would have been back to buy them all. Need to try the biscoff cheesecake next time. The ice cream is basic flavors but still very solid. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We were here for 2 days, stopped here both days. The first day, we went in late in the afternoon & there was a line, second time we went 30 minutes after it opened, no line. The staff is so on it, we didn't wait too long that first day. Tried so many things, gingerbread man, chocolate chip cookie, snickerdoodle, marionberry scone, & the biscoff cookie. Everything was really good, but the highlight & favorite was the biscoff coffee. The biscoff is inside & mmm, just so good. The worker said it was their most popular, which made sense why it was sold out that first day we went. We took them home & the next day even 2 days later, they were still good. The texture of them hadn't really changed. Go check them out, you won't regret it. read more

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! read more

I'm giving this a generous extra star just because the place is cute and the staff is very nice. While it's great that I can tell everything was cooked there, it was mid, at best. We got the bread pudding (decent), apple strudel (okay), and 2 different cookies (sugar cookie with frosting and black and white). The cookies were the best and they were a step above Safeway. read more

Food - got a couple of cookies and tiny banana bread. The tiny banana bread is the perfect size for a single serving. I had the gingersnap cookie and then had a bite of my husband's Choco chip and I wish I had just mushed them together and eaten one giant cookie. I think they have a chocolate biscoff but I don't think that's the same. The cookie was so good we went back the next day to get some to bring home. Service - very quick. The line goes out the door during the holidays and they move people fast. Ambiance - very crammed inside because of how popular it is. And when it's raining or snowing outside people tend to linger indoors. read more

We liked this place so much we came here 3 times in 2 days while in town. They have a variety of cookies, breads, Bundt cakes, pastries, and ice cream. The only complaint is that they seemed to run out of things fairly quickly. My husband loved the peanut butter cookie he got on the first visit and we came back twice more trying to get him another but they were out both times (morning and evening visits). We also enjoyed our chocolate chip, biscotti stuffed chocolate chip, and snickerdoodle cookies. Definitely stop in here if you're in town and looking for something sweet. They also have some cute ornaments and merch for sale. read more

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. read more

One of the places you must stop by when visiting Leavenworth! My favorite was the huge cinnamon roll that was moist with just enough sweet and spice.

Also found a cute baker's ornament while waiting in line, this will be perfect on the tree later this year! read more

We visited multiple times within a week and were able to have a mini cake for a birthday! :D The shop can be very relaxing during the week, but our first experience was very busy on the weekend.

This place is so cute I felt like I walked into a fairytale when I entered. There's a tree in the entryway with ornaments and a few mushrooms at the bottom. There are some seats in this area and more in the main room. Besides baked goods, they also have lunch items, but we were there for the gingerbread. Wow, these are the best gingerbread cookies I've ever tasted. They were a little soft with just enough sweetness and ginger flavor. After finishing our cookies, I had to go back and get a few more to bring home. read more

Love this place. We don't ever plan to but somehow end up coming here everytime we're in Leavenworth. Seems a little boutiquey inside, maybe a cross between a Leavenworth store and a chain cookie shop. Theres food items, like the biscuits and gravy special they were running the last time we were in, and drinks - including alcoholic - but I usually go for the sweets. For one, their cinnamon rolls are soft and thicc - just like how I like 'em. The gingerbread cookies are yummy, more sweet than gingery though I'd be cool with either way. Our favorite is the espresso frosted gingerbread cookie. They also make a spot on pink sugar cookie. The prices are fair, not like a Crumbl cookie where the name is more about your wallet and not the cookie. Everything we order here is delicious. Only critiques are that the line is always long (a good sign) but always quick, the better options are toward the register, and the floorplan there is very narrow. Still quite a few places to sit of course. read more

Cute little bakery but it was so crowded and always a long line. Came in on a Saturday afternoon. Purchased peppermint cupcake, apple strudel, peppermint mocha, and gingerbread cookies. Cupcake was my fave out of all of the items I got. Peppermint mocha needs more peppermint flavor. Did not taste or smell much peppermint flavor but overall it is still a good drink on a cold day. Gingerbread cookie was not good to me. I would skip the gingerbread cookies but will try other items. Cupcake was moist and sweet. read more

Ahh the smell of fresh baked gingerbread cookies. What could be better. Well going to a place that specializes in just that. Sweet, soft, comforting just what you need on a cold December night with a cup of hot (you insert your beverage choice here). Then sit back and enjoy the moment. The lines can get long so go early and often. The service was fast and friendly and they want you to enjoy the moment and come back. Go, and enjoy a casual rest in the indoor seating area or head out and walk the street window shopping while enjoying your cookies. read more

The Gingerbread Factory - The gingerbread tree - Bakeries Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Best gingersnap cookies I've ever had! I'm typically a soft-baked chocolate chip girlie, but during the holidays I become obsessed with seasonal cookies and the festivities that come with them. So it's no surprise that I was drawn to the Gingerbread Factory. I love the earnest camp decor with a Disney-eque tree and faux sweetheart cottage. The service was good--no complaints. Everything I ate tasted freshly made. I had the gingersnap cookie, gingerbread tot, strawberry linzer tart cookie, and the Hansel & Gretel gingerbread hot cocoa with oatmilk. The ginger snap had a nice chew and melted in my mouth. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and ginger flavor. I am seriously considering buying a box just for myself. The gingerbread tot was also great! It was surprisingly soft with a nice ginger flavor. I especially liked the soft icing, which adds to the taste rather than being purely a sugar decoration. The linzer cookie was also soft, coated in a powdered sugar glaze. The strawberry jam tasted like real strawberries. It makes store bought linzer tarts taste like cardboard. The Hansel & Gretel hot cocoa was delightful and rich. It did taste like gingerbread, not just artificial flavoring. read more

It was a hot summer day and so I was aching for a smoothie and Yelp said this place had smoothies. They did not. They do however have a lot of cool pastries which I wasn't in the mood for because my mind was already set on having a smoothie. Don't know if the Yelper who said they had it was wrong or if it was something they offered a long time ago, but not any longer but either way I was disappointed. They did sell espresso drinks, but again, not what I wanted. I would've maybe given the business an extra star, but the line wasn't very long and still the servers weren't really in a rush nor did they acknowledge people in a good amount of time, so I just bailed. read more
