Cinnamon Works

Best gluten free cookies at Pike Place!! They even have a chocolate chip cookie that is both gluten and dairy free :) I would say my favorite is the Monster Cookie. It’s huge and got great texture! It’s all really good… you can go wrong.

I decided to try the cookies instead of focusing on what the name of the place suggests—Cinnamon Work. Maybe I'll give the cinnamon rolls a shot next time, though I’ve seen mixed reviews. You never know until you try it yourself. For my first experience, I ordered the chocolate chip cookie. It was a massive cookie, and the dough had a great flavor. Overall, I thought it was good—definitely not disappointing. However, when I went back for more cookies before leaving town,I didn't enjoy round 2. For example, the chocolate chip pecan cookie was a letdown. The dough had zero flavor—it was pretty tasteless. I wouldn’t recommend it, which is surprising considering how much I liked the plain chocolate chip cookie. I also tried the "monster" cookie, which was fine, but not better than the original chocolate chip cookie. It was decent, but I’d say it was still better than the pecan chocolate chip. On my second visit, I noticed something strange too: the chocolate chip cookie was a bit thicker than the one I had during my first visit (pictured in this review). This made me question the consistency of their cookies. Thankfully, the flavor was still there, and surprisingly, the cookie didn’t harden as quickly as I expected, even after traveling with it for a while. One more thing to note—the ordering process could be smoother. It's a walk-up counter, but people tend to cut in line without asking if you are waiting and the staff doesn’t always pay attention to who's next. Allowing others jumped ahead — while you’ve been waiting on the orders ahead of you. . It’s a small thing, but definitely worth mentioning.

This cookie is huge, enough for 2-3 people. It's nice and warm. I found it pretty good plus I like cookies. I feel like it could use just a tiny bit cleaning.

My vegan gf ordered a vegan cinnamon roll. The lady who helped her decided to go ahead and give herself a tip without ever asking my gf. She just put all the change in the tip jar. Not ok by any means to ever do that. On top of that, the actual cinnamon roll was super dry and had a very off flavor. Had to be thrown out. Never going back here again. Unethical service and horrible pastries.

We were drawn in by the aroma of cinnamon rolls, and found out they had this Infaltion buster deal, which comes with a cup of black drip coffee, and a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll tasted alright though.

We were looking for coffee when we came across this shop. We ordered 2 Americano coffees, and they were delicious. Best coffee in the area. The coffee was so good we went back for more. They also make delicious cinnamon buns. We got the chocolate hazelnut cinnamon bun, and it was so tasty.

So so good that i came back twice in the same day. I ordered a frosted roll then came back for the pull apart which is a larger portion of the frosted, classic roll they have. Their Cinammon rolls are like literal rolls. They are very fluffy, light, soft, and flaky. It isn't super sweet, but the icing makes it the right sweetness. There isn't seating or dining in option, but really cool to see the kitchen is open and they use the space like they did traditionally way back when. Note: They charge a really high 50c convenience fee for cards so better to use cash. There is a Chase and non branded ATMs closeby.

Delicious Sweets! We stopped here on a Saturday trip to Pike Place Market. The line wasn’t very long, about 5 people waiting. They had a variety of cookies and other gluten-free tasty sweets. If you are Vegan, they offer a variety of Vegan options such as chocolate chip walnut, snickerdoodle, and oatmeal raisin. Let me tell you, these cookies are HUGE, about the size of a hand. My daughter and I split the non-vegan chocolate chip cookie and it was fantastic. It was slightly crispy on the edges, and soft in the center. The guy who assisted us was very quiet and didn’t smile, but he thanked me as he handed me my change. One cookie costs between $5.25-$5.75, but trust me, it’s worth every penny. You won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend Cinnamon Works if you’re looking for a tasty treat that will satisfy your cravings.

By far, one of the best gluten-free bakeries I've ever been to. They have plenty of traditional, vegan, and gluten-free options so thankfully, I wasn't limited to one or two items. I ended up going for a monster raisin gluten-free cookie, and the apple walnut muffin. Both were amazing and filling! Definitely a nice way to start the day when exploring Seattle. The prices were fair. The service was great! Everybody working was hustling, but also smiling so I think they're taking pretty good care of. Also, the cute bohemian girl with long brown/red hair and the nose ring was very sweet and great to work with. I definitely recommend going early because it gets busy fast.

2 stars. This is a tourist trap with an abysmal cinnamon roll paired with decent customer service. The cinnamon roll was absolutely the most disappointing thing. It was warm... that's it. Nothing else positive to say. Two bites in and I decided I would be gifting it to the next unhoused person I passed on the street rather than just throwing it away. Not much cinnamon. No ooey gooey buttery sticky goodness. No creamy tangy delish frosting. Just subpar pastry with a small drizzle of powdered sugar icing on top. I'm vegan nor gluten-free so I cannot appreciate the variety of offerings appropriate for those folks but there are many. Save your money and keep walking. Not worth standing in the line. There's so much more to see and eat. Don't waste your calories here.

They have gluten free desserts which was a plus. I think they're a little on the expensive side for the size of their deserts. At the same time I'm sure it's that balance of overhead, location, etc.

Always busy but always delightful. Good news for all the dairy free folks, they offer several vegan options! From vegan cinnamon rolls, vegan muffins, and vegan cookies! Love them all but really enjoyed the fun cinnamon swirl muffin. Their cookies are huge, shot out to the walnut chocolate chip cookie. Check them out, just south of the infamous Starbucks, outside.

We were drawn in by the aroma of cinnamon rolls, and found out they had this Infaltion buster deal, which comes with a cup of black drip coffee, and a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll tasted alright though.

Amazing gluten free pastries. I got a lemon blueberry gf muffin and a monster cookie also gf . Great taste and good quality

Bought some good things at this Pike Place Market bakery. Cinnamon Works is just one of the many such places in there to get breads and cookies. It also has many options that are gluten free and vegan. Gets crowded when it opens because the stuff is best when it's fresh. The hours are kind of limited, which is the only bad thing. A place that's pretty much just open to get something and go. It's located on the west side of the market. They have the breads and treats on display and you order at the window. An easy process. The hardest thing is waiting. It's about $6 for a cookie. Last time they had the Vegan Oatmeal Raisin. Also there's muffins. These include several plant based ones like the banana chocolate chip, and pumpkin. For sure they bake a lot. It's closed Mondays to Wednesdays, so it's limited for being open. There's plenty to get for vegans.

This place is serving up some of the biggest best cookies in Seattle. Situated in Pike Place Market, you walk up, place your order and get your items. They have tons of desserts but I went for the cookies. This review is going to be short but to the point. Go. Get. Some. I tried the following cookies: Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Snickerdoodle, Ginger Snap Molasses and Chocolate Chip with Pecans. Every last one of them was a 10/10. You wanna know how good those cookies were? We legit forgot to take pics! They are gone! No chance at making it to the review. Go for yourself! Thank me later.

Got the snickerdoodle cookie. It's $5.75 ($6.25 if paying with card). This cookie is huuuuge almost the size of one's face. The cookie was not too sweet which was great considering the size. It has a more soft, slightly moist crumbly, (not dry crumbly) texture. You order on the right side by the cashier. Service is fast when I went there wasn't a line. Also for the extra charge when purchasing a card I appreciated that the cashier gave another notice that there is an extra charge for cards despite them already having signs telling you that.

So many vegan options! The vegan chocolate chip walnut cookie tasted incredible and it was very big. Line was short even on a busy weekend and the lady behind the counter was very nice.

Great for vegan/gluten-free options, but the two cookes I had weren't actually good, and definitely not worth the $6+ price each. +$0.50 fee for card. Snickerdoodle cookie ($5.75) tasted too eggy and had hardly any cinnamon on top. I wouldn't have called it a snickerdoodle at all. The vegan oatmeal raisin ($6) was fine, but not amazing. Neither had as much cinnamon flavor as the promising smell of the bakery implied.

Gluten free friends, do yourself a favor and get a cinnamon roll!!!! (Yes you heard me right, gluten free cinnamon rolls!!!) I was almost deterred because the gentleman in front of me asked the clerk what her gluten free recommendations would be and when asked about the cinnamon rolls, she said ehhh they're alright, but suggested the regular ones... Anyway, glad I didn't leave the line and finally tried one of the gluten free cinnamon rolls :)) it was DELICIOUS, so moist, and even a little warm

I was swept away when I walked by and smelled this delicious smell. I had to stop and try the cookies are humongous however, the taste and texture were horrible. I decided to go with the highly recommended snickerdoodle, which was just not great. Could've been the cookie that I was recommended or tried. The staff were friendly. I hope that your cookie or dessert tastes so much better than mine did not sure if it was the day or the cookie itself but it's hard to mess up a classic.

Absolutely fantastic chocolate chip cookie here! It's not served warm, but otherwise it was everything I could have possibly wanted. Sometimes I worry about how the quality will be of a cookie this big, but cinnamon works definitely delivered!

The staff was really kind and they also have vegan/gluten free options which are delicious as well. They also have good coffee options with the local coffee blend!! Definitely recommend!

Possibly the worst coffee I have ever had in Seattle. The service was ok but not great. Missing sizes and non-dairy options. Never again.

For context: we did not have the cookies. Only the cinnamon rolls. We stayed at a hotel nearby the market and wanted to find something for breakfast. We saw the crowds and thought this place would be great for some cinnamon rolls! Unfortunately, it was probably the saddest cinnamon rolls we've ever had. Very dry, practically no frosting, and overall just the most underwhelming thing we ate during our trip. The next few days we went to other places in the market. I will admit their cookies looked delicious and I wish we got some to try. Those seem to be the clear favorite of customers who come here.

Absolutely delicious pastries!! I ordered the zucchini muffin, blueberry muffin, and an assortment of cookies. Their cookies are GIANT! Zucchini muffin is moist and flavorful with little chocolate chips in it, walnuts, and pecans. Get there early since they make limited amounts of certain flavors!

Walking near pike place and came across these cookies! They were huge and delicious. I love that they have a vegan gluten free choice. The service was wonderful all the workers were super friendly. Would definitely come again!

We got the gluten free monster, oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies. The monster was amazing. The oatmeal raisin was really good but the chocolate chip has an odd aftertaste.

I love their baked goods, and they are always friendly. When I was walking eating my cookie I had an after taste that was a first. Nevertheless the cookie was bomb

The smell coming from this place lifted me off my feet and I just floated there. The cookies are bigger than your head and smell absolutely wonderful. I ordered a chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, peanut butter, and ginger molasses cookie. The chocolate chip I shared with my group right away because it was fresh and warm and all gooey. All the cookies were good! The employees working when I went were super nice and extra friendly people. The prices aren't bad for the size of the cookie. Definitely take a friend or two to share them with because I couldn't hardly get through half of one of the cookies.

This place is absolutely amazing. We stopped by here while at Pike's Place Market and had a lot of fun. The staff is extremely sweet and work so hard - especially till close. Plus they have so many flavors!!! I ended up getting one of the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and it was divine. One cookie will set you back about $6 bucks. But it's so worth it! They're as big as your head and easily enough to share. IG: @QueenOfAdventureNYC

After a long trip from SoCal we were starving for a snack since we still had lunch plans soon after. Our first stop was in the Pike Place Market area so we walked around and came across this little shop on the street. We just got a regular cinnamon roll with frosting, and got it warmed up. The cinnamon roll was simple, but from its simplicity you can feel the gooiness of the inside of the roll, and taste the cinnamon that's rolled up. The frosting adds a bit of gooiness to it as well, but honestly even if you get it without the frosting it would still taste great. There's really not much to say about the cinnamon roll other than it satisfied our sweets craving and was the perfect texture. The people working at the counter were super nice as well, and got it warmed up pretty quickly. If I'm ever in Seattle again, I do want to try out their cookies as well.

I really wanted to love Cinnamon Works, but I didn't love any of the three items I purchased. The cookies here are heavy. They're huge and dense and no one who's ever had amazing gingersnaps or gingerbread would say it was good. If you take a bite and your response isn't "Mmm" then it's not a good gingersnap. The plain jane cinnamon roll was straight up bad and I don't think I've ever had one worse. I had one bite and threw it out. Finally, the blueberry muffin was the best of the three, but still not worth braving the Pike Place crowds for since it was just a basic muffin. Cinnamon Works' model seems to be to load up on covering many of their large treats with sugar, while not investing a ton in their internal flavor. So although I liked the muffin, it's just easier to pick one up at Whole Foods for equal or slightly better quality.

They have a whole window of gluten free goodies, which is why I came (recommended by several bloggers). I got there later, so some things were gone but I got a chocolate chip cookie and a cinnamon muffin. I guess I didn't get photos but both were very good. My son who has no food allergies had one of their half pound cookies, the size of his head. He was in heaven and ate away at it the whole day. Very good.

The gluten free options were pretty depleted by the time we got there. I was hoping to get a gluten free dairy free cinnamon roll but no luck. Lots of gluten free options, lots of vegan--Not many that are gluten and dairy free. My husband got the iced pumpkin cookie and a cinnamon roll. He loved the cookie--good texture and not too sweet. Cinnamon roll was good--not dry.

I'm a sucker for a flavorful cookie. The cookies here a HUGE! I mean, the size of my face type of ginormous! Definitely worth the price. Flavors we tried: ~Gingersnap (5/5): this one was my favorite. If you like spiced cookies, give this a try! ~Oatmeal Raisin (4/5): I might be the only person who likes oatmeal raisin cookies, but this one was so good! A little crumbly, but so good. ~Chocolate Chip (3.5/5): Solid Chocolate Chip cookie, but nothing special

You can smell this place for a while before walking up. It smells so heavenly. We just had to pick up something for us and to bring home to the teens. We ordered some of the gigantic cinnamon rolls. They were huge and she heated them up for us right there. We weren't going to eat them at that time, but if we were... that would have been amazing! We also ordered some of the big cookies. Those things are also huge. The kids loved them! We also enjoyed the tiny bite our kids allowed us to have. Lol It's worth the wait to get in line. I'm sure almost anything is great here.

I was visiting Pike Place on a Sunday around 4, and I wanted something sweet. I saw a few people by this stand, and a worker bringing out fresh cookies which piqued my interest. I stood by waiting for someone to take my order, and after several minutes one of the workers impatiently asked if any of us wanted anything. A couple standing by me chose to walk away at this query, possibly due to the workers tone. I asked for a chocolate chip cookie, and when the worker asked me if there was anything else, I looked at the customization options on the flyer that appeared to be included in the price. She told me "if you're reading this for the options I can't guarantee that anything is still available". Which. Ok. Fair. They were set to close within the hour but as fresh cookies seemed were put out while I was watching this seemed a bit abrupt, rather than waiting for me to request or them marking off things that were depleted. But I decided to just get the cookie, paid (there is a credit card surcharge which is posted but the worker also warned me). Despite the questionable service, the cookie itself was incredible. It was very big, and warm, with a crispy edge and soft and chewy center with the chips slightly melted. Easily could satiate two people but I eagerly ate it alone. I would come back, just maybe with another worker. There are no tables here, just stand and order then walk away

Legit my favorite place in the market. The smells are unbeatable. I die inside when I go to grab a cookie on days they're closed. They do charge for card. The vegan cookies are very good - allergen friendly*** My go-to is chocolate chip. I bring home a snickerdoodle for dad and oatmeal raisin for mom every time I go. Big cookie. Not too greasy. Great with milk. Quick service. Love that they employ high school kids.

Whenever I visit Pike Place, I make sure to stop here and pick up some goodies. I love how they serve numerous gluten free options! It's hard to choose, which is why I return frequently so I can sample it all! I've had a lot of cookies (pumpkin, chocolate chip, monster, snicker doodle, etc), and they've all been so good! They definitely have a great cookie recipe. I tried their cinnamon rolls for the first time. I heard so many reviews about them, so I had big expectations. They were so-so. They smelled amazing, which made me so excited. The texture was chewy and the flavor was plain. The cinnamon goodness was more in the icing than the roll itself. I plan on returning again and again! I'll probably skip the cinnamon rolls next time.

The best cookies ever, amazing cinnamon rolls and all sorts of good things. Gluten free, one cookie can feed many people. Service is always good, it's in a stall at Pike Street Market, so it's busy and crowded. Worth fighting the crowds to feed one's sweet tooth!9

Great huge gluten free cookies! Tasted great. A little pricey but worth it! Convenient corner location in Pike Place Market.

My wife and I just happened to walk by here while seeing Pike Place and decided to grab something. After a short wait we were overwhelmed by choice. As you can see from my picture these cookies are incredibly big, the cookie was the size of the plate in our hotel. We got the snickerdoodle to share, the place is called Cinnamon Works after all. It had a great cinnamon flavor and was nice and soft. It wasn't the most unique cookie they offered that day but was highly enjoyable. We would definitely recommend it and the place overall for a nice treat for the time or to take back somewhere else for later.

I always get the vegan snickerdoodle and it is soooooooo good. It's also the size of my face (: I've had friends bring it back for me (from west coast to east coast) and it's still good and relatively fresh after a few days.

When I laid eyes on these massive cookies I thought they were going to change my life. While the size is impressive that's really the best part of the cookie it was pretty hard (due to it being so large I'm assuming it was intentionally made that way). I'm a big fan of the soft cookies so this wasn't actually life changing for me. The location is right by pikes place market so I'd recommend walking vs driving!

These are the best cookies in town, period. Their other baked goods are top quality. The drinks are good, but nothing to write home about. They are a small mom-and-pop shop, so the service is very knowledgeable and friendly. Parking.... well, it is the market area, so good luck.

Cookies looked delicious ... we bought only the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie as we already had some other stuff already. It looked great, but it seemed more like a cake/cookie hybrid? It didn't have a cookie texture like i was expecting, nor did it have any special taste or ingredient. It was a good cookie, but nothing special. I hope their other cookies are better!

Honestly if you skip this shop you don't know what you're missing. I'm telling you that's the closest thing to grandma ever made, got for atleast a box

Tasty treats, and lots of vegan options! The folks inside were wonderfully friendly and quick. A worthwhile stop in the middle of the Pike Place Market madness.

So many gluten-free options. Tried the monster cookie and it was awesome! See my photo for ingredients. The big surprises in the monster cookie were the hint of peanut butter and the butterscotch. Yummy : )

Stopped by during our last couple of hours in Seattle. Amazingly, the line wasn't long and I waited patiently behind a group who were ordering coffees. I noticed that there weren't any cinnamon rolls available and a few varieties of cookies left (it was a little before noon on a Saturday). I either got in line right after the group in front of me ordered coffee or there was only one person serving (there appeared to be 3 total people behind the counter), but it took quite some time before it was my turn. I'm assuming the woman behind the counter didn't see me move up in line and behind a pole AND the guy behind me holding a child was completely ignorant to the fact that I was indeed in front of him and waiting, but I GOT SKIPPED. And not just "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see you", but the guy behind me ordered, paid, and moved on (RUDE)... as if I hadn't been standing there for 10 minutes. I mouthed an obvious "Are you serious?" as he's grabbing his cookies and paying. I'm quite certain the woman behind the counter realized her mistake and made it up to me in the end, but it also would've been nice to verbally acknowledge the mistake. (Long story even longer: this was the type of infuriation where you're stuck between being verbally irate or crying... thankfully, I did neither.) I got both my cookies (that I'm sure she only charged me for one) and moseyed away, still irritated. (And I need to note that after she put both cookies in the bag, she totally slammed her hand down on the bag. Is that a thing?) I got a ginger molasses cookie and a snickerdoodle cookie. When reviews say these cookies are massive, THEY ARE NOT LYING. I have big palms (yet, can still not palm a basketball) and these cookies were bigger than my hands. I will say that I'm not a HUGE fan of snickerdoodle cookies, but I'm so glad I got it as a back up. Ginger molasses cookies are usually my absolute favorite. While this cookie was good, it wasn't as spicy as I would've preferred. There was zero bite. The snickerdoodle was my absolute favorite. It was like the best bake between raw and crunchy; perfectly cakey cookie gooey. Both cookies are rightly soft in the middle. And did I mention they're HUGE. Would I go back? Yes. Would I try the ginger molasses again? No. Would I double down on the snickerdoodle? You bet your mom's sweet bum I would Will I still have a chip on my shoulder over being skipped? Prolly.

In passing to get some produce from the market, I see a ginger cookie and couldn't help but stop; anyone who knows me knows I LOVE ginger molasses cookies. My husband and son eyed the chocolate chip cookies, we ordered a dozen for them. Later that evening my husband told me after devouring two those were the best chocolate chip cookies he's had. Needless to say next weekend I'm certain he will order another dozen when we go back to the market. The customer service provided was phenomenal, and I really appreciate the vegan options. Great bakery to stop by when visiting Pike Place.

Fluffly, doughy cookies and buns. What more can you ask for?? Pumpkin cookies year round. Favorite spot for a sweet (not too sweet) treat

Stumbled across this shop while walking along Pikes Place market. The display was quite small but they had a good selection of both vegan and non vegan items. They clearly listed all ingredients, which made it easy to determine what I could order for my friend with nut allergies. Ordered a maple apple muffin and blueberry muffin for my 2 friends. They both said that the muffins were good.

Do not recommend this place for coffee at all! We came here because it was next to Beechers and wanted some coffee. My order was a soy vanilla latte. The wait was long, and when my drink was handed to me, it was pure white. It looked like there was no coffee in it. The girl at the counter kept insisting that was how the drink supposed to be. I took a sip and instantly knew that this was just milk and vanilla and asked her to add "another" shot. Of course the drink instantly got darker, but the coffee was so diluted with so much milk that I took a few more sips and threw my drink away.

I was waking around Pike Place Market when I noticed Cinnamon Works place a fresh tray of some kind of pastry in their display window. Needless to say, I made a beeline straight over and ordered whatever it was. Turns out it was a Sticky Bun, I ordered a black coffee to go with it. Sticky, warm, gooey, and delicious are all the things a good sticky bun should be and this is what it was. The only thing I might wish would be more of the sticky sauce, but that's my decadent side talking. I enjoyed visiting Cinnamon Works! I'd love to revisit and try one of their giant cookies sometime.

Go here for photo ops and experience of holding a giant cookie in your hand. I end up trashing my stale cookie in trash. Food was disappointing.
