Crafting Sweet Memories Since 1988

In 1988, The Gingerbread Factory opened its doors in the charming Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth, nestled in Washington State's Cascade Mountains. This picturesque setting was perfect for crafting traditional gingerbread cookies and houses.

Quickly gaining a reputation for delectable cookies, desserts, and all things gingerbread, the store's exterior, resembling a real-life gingerbread house, made it a must-see tourist spot. Today, we specialize in gourmet cookies and gingerbread houses, shipping them nationwide. Conveniently located on Front Street, our expanded menu includes espresso, shakes, ice cream, and more, all served in a fun, relaxing atmosphere with free WiFi.

Our production bakery still operates in the original location, ensuring fresh treats throughout the day. The delightful aroma of freshly baked cookies, cinnamon rolls, and scones welcomes you as if stepping into Grandma's house. We offer custom orders, creating unique cookies or gingerbread houses tailored to your ideas, though holiday orders require advance planning, starting as early as January.

Our friendly staff is eager to welcome you, and we're proud to be consistently rated among Leavenworth's Top 10 Restaurants by TripAdvisor. Featured by Forbes, KING 5 News, TV Land, KOMO 4 News, HGTV, and Food Network, we are thrilled to celebrate our 35th Anniversary in 2023!
