Gluten Free- Item specific Casein Free- Verify with staff Cinnamon Works is one of my go to stops when I'm staying in downtown Seattle during my morning walks. Highlights/Tip: + This tiny walk up shop is located off of the corner of Pike & Pine. If you have mobility issues, walking down Pine Street is a bit steep. I would recommend down Pike St and walking around to Pike Pl. + For those with gluten allergies, the red squared tape on the glass easily identifies the variety of options + For those who are Celiac, there is a notice on the glass that you should ask about your options to further help understand their baking practices and cross contamination chances. + Go early, especially on the weekend, if you want a specific item, e.g. the cinnamon roll or giant cookie. They can run out towards the end of the day. + The goods may seem a bit pricey; but hey, if you have eat GF, the prices really are not that bad given the quality and amount of food. + Since there is no seating, you can take your food to go. On nicer days, I would recommend a short walk to Victor Steinbrueck Park. read more

First, this market is so overwhelming - you certainly have a hard time picking a treat - but stopping at Cinnamon Works is an easy decision for anybody with options for everyone. These giant, perfectly baked cookies provide the best treat for you. There are gluten free and sugar free options and in every grandma flavor that you might want. I got oatmeal coconut chocolate chip and I didn't want to stop. The hardest choice was not to buy them all. I'm glad I don't live here. Tooooo tempting!! read more

Cinnamon Works - The sign - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

i waited seven years to go back and get the pumpkin cookie.. i mean THE pumpkin cookie. In college I went for a conference and had the BEST pumpkin cookie ever... there is a picture that hangs lovingly in my office of my homie Jamie, two @#$@#$ big pumpkin cookies and me... SIGH. I was supposed to get one via a friend from a friend but she ate it (AHOLE) on the flight back to California. I wasted no time going and ordering three.... one of which made it home... I love this place.... and it is one of the only times my allegiance to The Buttery here in Santa Cruz is broken. Huge cookies, vegan options and those honey buns!!! I also brought back some snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookies.. those things are f-ing huge! read more

HUGE cookies! GIGANTIC! We got 4 different ones to share. The peanut butter was pretty good. the pumpkin one wasn't great and we ended up throwing that one away. The other two we got just ok: chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. They are about $4 a piece. Huge cookies don't make up for flavor. Yes, it's convenient since it's in the market, but I'd skip this place next time. read more

Cinnamon Works - HUGE cookies - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I saw on the website they have GF treats so this was a must see on my list. I got the gluten free monster cookie and it was fantastic! A quick, walk up place. Friendly staff and great treat to have with my morning coffee! read more

Cinnamon Works - Gluten Free Monster Cookie. $6 Crunchy outside, soft inside! - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Stumbled across this while visiting the market and was immediately drawn in by the HUGE cookies. Plenty of options (although it looked like some of the popular flavors were sold out by 2pm on a Sunday) with both regular and vegan choices available. Ended up picking up the chocolate chip and ginger molasses cookies and they were so delicious with a delightful chewy texture. They keep well too - they survived the flight home and still taste great the next day. The cookies were each a little over $5, but for the size I would say the pricing is fair. Personally I was not offended by the $0.50 card fee. Will definitely be back to try the cinnamon rolls and vegan snickerdoodles! read more

I purchased a gluten-free cinnamon roll and I was underwhelmed for $5.50. The flavor fell flat. I wanted ooey gooey and buttery, but I got none of that. The texture was not like a traditional gluten cinnamon bun, it lacked the chewy texture. It had a bit of a cardboardy aftertaste, so I did not finish it. I have had two outstanding GF cinnamon rolls - Sweet Ali's in Hinsdale, IL and Pushkins in Sacramento, CA - so I know that it is possible to make a really good one. I would suggest the owners experiment and tweak the recipe. read more

Super popular bakery, with lots of vegan and gluten-free options. My daughter loved her vegan cinnamon roll with maple glaze. Be ready for long lines, especially on the weekends, but worth the wait! read more

I've never had CINNAMON CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE before, but it worked. The kids were not pleased though LOL. Cinnamon Works is conveniently located ON Pike Place at a busy and centralized location convenient to those visiting the market and within a stone's throw away from THE Starbucks. read more

The smells wafting down the street from this place is a siren song. But if you're gluten free, ignore it. I was sooo excited to see that they carried speciality items, but was sorely disappointed. I got a (decently big) chocolate chip cookie and a cinnamon roll. The flavor of the cookie was spot on, but was way too crispy. I like my cookies soft and chewy. And the cinnamon roll- rather than being ooey gooey and pillowy - was more like cardboard. (Although once again the flavor was good.) Pass this one. read more

Wooooo, for those who are vegan or haven't tried vegan cookies before, make sure you stop by here for a quick bite of the ginormous cookies! While wandering Pike Place Market, I finally noticed this stand after passing by it so many times. I guess I always missed it since there's usually a line or crowd near this spot. The cookies are BIG and quite filling. As for the options offered, there's a large selection of regular cookies to vegan friendly cookies. I tried the vegan chocolate chip (even though I am not vegan) and found it to be light and crispy with yummy chocolate chips that melts on your tongue. So if you're in the mood for sweets, make a stop here! I know I will since there are other flavors to be tried. :) read more

I started doing my research for my roadtrip up to Seattle, and someone recommended Cinnamon Works for the vegan cinnamon rolls. This place was a couple of blocks from our hotel, so after wandering around for a bit, we decided to get some cinnamon rolls to snack on back at our room. They were all out..EEK! The counter gal gave me a card and told me I could call in the morning, and they could set some aside for us when they are freshly made. The next morning I tried to call, but the phone was always busy. We finally got dressed and walked over. We were rewarded with freshly made cinnamon rolls and extra maple frosting. We took it back to our room and had our decadent breakfast in a relaxing atmosphere! read more

Cinnamon Works - Cinnamon Works: Vegan cinnamon roll - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

They are one of the best places I have enjoyed gluten free baked goods. Having a wheat allergy does limit the quality of baked goods you can have. I ate here everyday I was in Seattle and probably ate 7 monster cookies during that time And about 5 cinnamon rolls. I read others say the cinnamon roll was dry but all of mine were delicious, literally the whole roll tasted like the middle of a cinnamon roll(the best part). The monster cookie was everything I could imagine, peanut butter, chocolate, butterscotch, oatmeal, gooey and oh so good. I had the pumpkin cookie with icing and it made my coffee experience awesome. I highly recommend going here. My only complaint is they don't ship there baked goods so I could always eat those yummy cinnamon rolls and cookies . The owner was a doll and the employees were helpful and sweet too. read more

Just okay. As other reviews have mentioned, the sizes are massive but the flavors are nothing to write home about. If anything, they are sub-par. I've had the maple frosted cinnamon roll and snickerdoodle cookie. Both were particularly dry; the cinnamon roll was definitely lacking in filling. The highlight of this visit was definitely the maple frosting on the cinnamon roll, which was very pleasantly sweet but not overpowering. It had a nice stickiness, as well. The staff was nice, too, and made sure we had our pastries quick and warm. It was nice that we were able to find some vegan pastry options at Pike Place, but I'll definitely be looking for other options the next time I venture downtown. read more

Cinnamon Works has the best gluten free treats!!! My boyfriend and I always come here on our trips to Seattle. It's a must-have spot whenever we visit and we will definitely be coming here more often when we move to Seattle. Some of our favorite treats are the GF cinnamon rolls, GF monster cookies, GF pumpkin cinnamon cookies with icing, GF zucchini muffins, and GF zucchini and GF banana bread loaves. The prices for these quality treats are not bad at all, and we can't wait to come back. The people who work here are nice too. The last time we went, two guys at the counter told my boyfriend they liked his tattoos. And his sunglasses. And his hat. Haha. read more

Got the monster cookie! And boy was it a monster! And absolutely delicious! I was a little skeptical as the cookie is $5.75 but it was worth it. Even for 2 people it was too much to eat in one setting. Definitely recommend this cookie! read more

This place has the most amazing vegan cookies. . I was in heaven. Sadly it's so far away!

The vegan pumpkin muffin was amazing. Moist on the inside a little crunch on the top. Delicious. Vegan Baked. The lemon blueberry scone was stale, but had good flavor on the inside. The dry part was a nice treat for the pigeons. read more

I got a gluten free cinnamon roll for $6 and it was amazing. A tiiiiny but dense but so it goes with gluten free bakery items. It was warm and gooey and I was so excited to see they had gluten free and vegan options as well. Highly recommend stopping by this sidewalk shop across from Pike Place Market. read more

The blueberry muffin is where it's at! Super moist and plenty of blueberries! The cookies are eh.

Ok this place is right down by Pike Place Market..... Perfect location, huh! Get here early if you want something because they sell out by 12 (noon). Whats better than a bakery that does it all from regular baked goods to vegan and of course for me gluten free. My uncle has been here before and told me about the amazing pumpkin cookies! Well guess what they have them in gluten free! AMAZE! I am actually craving one now just thinking about it. I also had the GF brownie and it was so good. Not a hard cardboard lacking in flavor disk. mmmmm..... I will be back CW. So keep doing what you do! read more

Cinnamon Works - Mmmmmmm what shall I choose - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

No complaints. I had a pumpkin vegan/gf cookie that was also great the next day with my coffee. Love the options they have for anyone! We went end of day and they were sold out of a lot but had a few things to choose from. I would go back read more

We discovered this place a year or more ago and were obsessed with their fresh, soft big cookies, especially the chocolate chip cookies. We made a special trip to pikes place last Friday, morning just so we could get cookies at Cinnamon Works, and were really looking forward to it, but this time we were super disappointed after we bought several cookies, different kinds, they were all hard and not fresh at all! They definitely tasted like days old cookies! Almost too hard to eat. I really hope they haven't gone down hill or changed ownership. read more

I love cookies and I'm never too picky with them. I was in Pike's Place just looking for a sweet treat and I decided to stop here. Their cookies looked big and nice so I got the mister cookie. Worst mistake. This was the most over baked and dry cookie I've ever had. It was crunchy and thats not how I like my cookies. It didn't even have much flavor to me. This place was bust. I don't recommend this place unless you like desert dry cookies. read more

You have to stop here for some sweets if you are at the market. Amazing cinnamon rolls and cookies. Freshly made every day. Also vegan options available. read more

Loved the cinnamon roll we got. They warmed it up and it was delicious. Wasn't super busy- so didn't take a long time.

I see a lot of people commenting that the 'gluten free isn't good', and I would like to protest. I have celiac, and it is VERY hard to find bakeries that are both gluten free and are baked in a properly handled environment. It's extremely difficult to find GOOD gluten free baked goods when gluten free is the only thing I can eat, and most people in the area tend to choose gluten free as a diet. While some things are occasionally dry, that is to be expected when most products are additionally dairy free/vegan and fresh baked and kept in a half outdoor shop in usually cold weather. The GF cinnamon rolls were the first cinnamon rolls I'd eaten in 10+ years, and when I tell you I cried, I MEAN it! They were exactly what I was looking forward to, and in addition to that a lot of their other products are too. The staff are always extremely kind and nice to talk to, and it's pretty clear that the shop owner takes care of them. They always offer to put fresh glaze on cookies and cinnamon buns. I always anticipate running down to Pike's on a weekend just to go by Cinnamon Works, and sometimes do it spontaneously when I'm craving something, as I know I can trust the cooking environment. 100% reccomend to celiac friends who don't have a choice between GF and not! read more

Love all the vegan options! By the time I got there (1:00pm ish) not that many were left but I tried the vegan oatmeal raising cookie. It was HUGE. Kinda dense but delicious. I've never tried a cookie made from tofu before - that's cool! They also had vegan cinnamon rolls which looked good but didn't try. I want to try the snickerdoodle next time! read more

Cinnamon Works - Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I witnessed a woman with severe gluten and soy allergies asking the bakery to pull out their recipe book and show her that they don't have soy in a loaf she was considering buying and they were perfectly accommodating. I thought that was SO awesome, especially given how busy they were. Everyone was really nice. I got the gluten free monster cookie which had a great flavor and was indeed a monster cookie. I'll definitely be back for market fresh pastries in the future. Hope to catch them on a day that they have some more scones! read more

Fluffy cinnamon roll, friendly service. I guess I shouldn't have expected a Cinnabon cinnamon roll...cause what I got was more like a homemade "heathy" one. Not bad overall but not enough cinnamon or frosting for me. read more

Cinnamon Works - 3 dollar cinnamon bun - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A no-frills scratch bakery located at the corner of Pike and Pine. They offer regular, gluten-free and vegan cookies, quick breads (zucchini, banana and pumpkin), rolls and muffins. Their cookies are huge - chocolate chip, peanut butter, pumpkin, oatmeal raisin, ginger and snickerdoodle. My favorite treat? Their White Sticky Bun - stacked cinnamon roll smothered in caramel and chopped pecans. Yum. read more

Just like you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't judge a cookie by its crust. Looking st pictures of the giant Cinnamon Works cookies, I thought they looked crunchy and unappealing. But when someone offered me half of a monster cookie, I couldn't stop eating it even though I was already super stuffed! Although they might not look it, these cookies are perfectly chewy and dense. I couldn't even tell the monster cookie was gluten free! It was the perfect combination of chocolate chips, peanut butter, oats, nuts, and probably some other things as well--maybe even coconut? The cookies are definitely on the heavier side, so you may want to pick a lighter option if you're trying to save stomach space for some of the other treats in Pike Place Market. But otherwise I would wholeheartedly recommend making a stop here for a cookie or two! read more

Cinnamon Works - Delicious & huge gluten free monster cookie! - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I could smell the yummy aromas wafting all the way up the hill. I purposely walked 1.5 miles to Pike Place just so I could indulge myself in sticky cinnamon buns and snickerdoodles. (I function off this little voice in my head that just goes "you did a sit up. You deserve this cookie. You walked all the way from the car to your door. You deserve this supersized order of fries.", etc.) Anyway. They have a nice selection of egg+dairy free desserts, like banana chip muffins, lemon poppy scones, snickerdoodles (spectacular by the way- a must try.) Some do have nuts in them, for those who are allergic, like the chocolate chip cookie. The frosting on the cinnamon bun is really sweet, though- I would skip out on that. But did I mention to try the vegan snickerdoodle? Gigantic or not, it is really good. read more

[place: 4/5] cinnamon works is located on pike place, so it's a convenient spot for a quick sweet snack! [menu options: 4.5/5] they have a variety of gluten free, vegan, and regular large-sized cookies and also offer a few varieties (white, wheat, etc) of cinnamon rolls! [food: 2.5/5] i got the regular sticky cinnamon roll and was kinda disappointed considering this place is called "cinnamon works". the cinnamon roll was okay and i like it had nuts added at the bottom of the roll for an extra layer of texture. yet, it was just okay in it's taste and texture - i was expecting better for something that was $5.75 [service: 3.5/5] the cashier that assisted me was friendly, but not super helpful in providing recommendations [overall: 3/5] this place is just okay, maybe their cookies are better, but i was disappointed in their overpriced cinnamon roll read more

Cookies the size of your face! We had tried the snickerdoodle, the peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, and chocolate chip and everyone's favorite was the snickerdoodle. The only one we weren't too fond of was the chocolate chip. Cookie lovers that are looking for a cookie with nuts this is not the place which was quite disappointing. These cookies are fairly priced for the size! I would recommend sharing! read more

They have a gluten free section!!! If you are gluten free this a place you must go while in the market.

I come out of my way to come here sometimes. I live in west Seattle so I'm not always in the neighborhood. But their gluten free monster cookies are amazing. First, they are the size of a child's head! They have everything you would want in them too - oatmeal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, etc. I definitely need to try their other gluten free offerings because if they are all like the monster cookie, look out! Cookie is around $5+ but it's worth it. Its really hard to find gluten free cookies that arent dry, dense, or just not worth eating. Its honestly the best gluten free cookie worth buying. I've been celiac for 10 years now, and gave my fair share of terrible cookies. If you are gluten free, this place is worth the trip! read more

I love Cinnamon Works. During the 20 years I lived in Seattle, every so often I would treat myself to a frosted pumpkin cookie. Now when I visit Seattle, Cinnamon Works and a pumpkin cookie are a must stop. A Pike Place Market treasure. read more

Hubby and I stopped by while exploring Pike's Market. He ordered the cinnamon roll and I ordered a chocolate chip cookie. Both were average at best. The chocolate chip cookie was extremely hard and didn't have much taste. Tourist trap in my opinion. Needs better execution because honestly the presentation was better than the actual food. read more
