two stars for high cross contact risk. many gluten items on menu. kitchen handles wheat flour. shared prep space. inconsistent cross contact protocols. I reacted.
The folks working at this place were apathetic and a little rude, the options were there but really were not delicious, not really worth seeking out when there are so many other options that will not sacrifice taste and experience. Items were clearly marked and displayed all of the ingredients contained in case of other allergies. GF items seemed to be in a separate display case
Asked person at counter if the gluten free options were celiac safe and they said no that people have had bad experiences so best avoid

The gluten free items were on their own shelf on display. There was not much. Overall the muffin I had was ok, and had no issues afterwards.
Workers seem uncertain about cross-contamination in the baking phase. Had one GF frosted cinnamon roll which cost $6,00. It was heavy and gummy as if undercooked. Not much cinnamon flavor. Would not recommend. Sadly disappointed.
The cinnamon rolls were delicious! Such a nice treat.
Great selection and great taste. Really nice as they have full selection of GF and non GF so your friends and family can still get what they want!
Visited here and ended up not feeling comfortable eating their baked goods after chatting with an employee. Not only do the GF items share an oven with the non-GF items, but everything is made using shared equipment. They rinse in-between, but there is just no way they’re avoiding cross-contamination IMO. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere where they take CC seriously.
Delicious gluten free and dairy free muffins and cookies. The most moist blueberry muffin I've ever had.
When we got there around 11am on a Friday they only had pumpkin cookies left. It was very dry, and I only ate a few bites. I asked about their baking practices, and she said the cookies are cooked on a separate tray but in the same oven as non-gf items. The gf items are in their own section of the display case, but are not individually wrapped. There is definitely risk for CC, so make sure to take that into account and ask questions. I didn’t feel sick afterwards, but it definitely wasn’t my favorite dessert.
My daughter and I got breakfast there. She is celiac and got the gf cinnamon roll. I got the regular blueberry muffin. She also got a gf chocolate chip cookie. All were delicious and no issues!
Had a lemon blueberry muffin which was tasty, a monster cookie which was delicious, and a pumpkin cookie but that wasn’t my favorite. Sensitive celiac, didn’t get sick.
Delicious, but occasionally a bit dense on consistency. Biggest complaint is they frequently run out of gluten free items, especially the GF cinnamon rolls. This is probably normal for a bakery, to balance production with demand, so as to not overproduce and waste product. You can call ahead early and they will hold items for you
Delicious GF cookies! Arrive early if you want to get a chance at the cinnamon rolls, muffins. Vegan & GF options too!
Had the GF cinnamon roll. It was okay. Didn’t feel sick after .
Was looking for a place to get a little nosh @ Pikes Place with my family on vacation. Had an awesome cinnamon roll. It was really nice to feel like everyone else walking around and eating. I have celiacs and did not get sick.
They bake gluten food in the same oven as gluten free food AT THE SAME TIME. Oh my! Very unsafe for people with celiac disease. Despite their message they are gluten free, I asked for a lot of detail on how their food is baked and it does not fact pass the test. Stay away.
Was turned away at the mention of being celiac for cross-contamination risk
Their gluten free options are very popular and were unfortunately almost sold out by the time I got there in the late morning. However, I was able to get a pumpkin cookie that was very delicious!! I highly recommend getting here early so you have more options.
Really yummy cinnamon rolls! Lots to choose from. Kind of hard to find. Located on the corner of pike place & Pine.
I ordered the cinnamon roll & the blueberry and lemon muffin. While the cinnamon roll was the best amount of moist and soft, the muffin was a little dry and I've had better. This place is has and amazing amount of options though & fully worth 4.5 stars.
Happened to be downtown right when they opened at 9am so my cinnamon roll was still warm and ugh it was too good!
They have GF items in their own case separate from the other things. I was told they are careful about cross contamination when baking, so even though I normally don’t trust bakeries that also do gluten items since I’m pretty sensitive, I figured I’d give it a shot.
So far so good! If there was a ton of cross contamination I’d have felt it by now. Honestly even if I do get sick that gooey warm cinnamon roll on a chilly misty morning was worth it 12/10 (kidding! or am I? ha)
Almost everything was sold out by 2pm. I would recommend going early. Cinnamon rolls were dense and chewy but tasted good. Pumpkin cookie was good but a little gritty. Would come back, just earlier so I could try some more options.
Cute shop with friendly staff. GF goodies variety, cinnamon rolls weren’t as good as I would have expected but I’d still eat them again.
Had a cinnamon roll and the cinnamon swirl muffin. very delicious not too sweet. they said they use separate pans and supplies. marked in case with gluten free tape. would eat again.
Food was very yummy. Items that were gluten free were clearly labeled and easy to tell apart from regular cookies. Got a variety of cookies, a muffin and a cinnamon roll and although a little money, they are so worth it to me since I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a cinnamon bun.
Worth the wait.
Be absolutely sure to only order from the gluten free section.
Been most of the day and no reaction. :)
I got a couple of supposedly gluten free cookies here and was very impressed by how big they were! They tasted great too. Unfortunately I started throwing up a couple hours later and had a typical glutening reaction. I hadn’t eaten anything else so it had to be from the cookies. :(
Happy to have found a gf bakery. Got a cinnamon roll and was underwhelmed. It was dense and not sweet enough, didn’t have enough icing. Honestly, I’ve made better.
Variety of GF muffins, scones, cookies and even cinnamon rolls. Their muffins are great (blueberry lemon, cinnamon swirl) amd their chocolate chip cookie was excellent.
Wonderful cinnamon roll. FYI they make a limited amount each day. Get there early. Owners wife has celiac. They are careful.
Lots of gf options! Only 1 that is dairy free - a cinnamon swirl muffin - but it was delicious! Great grab and go breakfast spot.
I was a little worrisome going to a bakery that sells regular gluten baking but I was pleasantly surprised! They guy working told me how the old owner used to be celiac and that they take a lot of precaution when baking their gf pastries! He said they serve so many celiacs and never have complaints!
I got the pumpkin spice cookie and it was amazing!!! So soft and flavorful! But I did go pretty late in the day so they were sold out of most of their things! Go early!!
Great options and probably one of the safest places at Pike Place. Other shops recommend this place for gluten free. GF muffins, cookies, and delicious cinnamon rolls!
Loved the gf monster cookies. I went back the next day for more.
It’s great to have a gluten free pastry option at Pike Place, and the cookies are pretty tasty, but the cinnamon rolls are pasty and dense and overall lacking in flavor
GF Monster cookies are our go to here - you’ve gotta ask employees to change their gloves but they’re always happy to. Love the cinnamon buns too!
Amazing cinnamon rolls! You must arrive early to get them!
Got a pumpkin cookie and a chocolate chip cookie, my boyfriend ordered a regular snickerdoodle and they were very cautious and careful about cross contamination and packaging separately. Delicious too!
The bakery case with gluten free items is clearly marked with a red banner. All ingredients in the gluten free items are noted on the item labels. I got a pumpkin spice cookie that was just OK. They use Bob's Red Mill gf flour.
Celiac, no reaction. Had GF cookie, scone and cinnamon roll. All safe. Cookie was fine, lemon blueberry scone and cinnamon roll were wonderful! They were out of GF cinnamon rolls when we were there but were able to pay for one that was coming out of the oven in 40 minutes and picked it up later. 😍
I am sorry to be that person, but the cinnamon roll weighed a lot, and it was straight dough. I expect cinnamon rolls to be doughy in the middle, but this had a play-doh consistency. I also bought a pumpkin cookie which was a bit better consistency wise.
Ate here twice. Amazing cinnamon rolls. Didn’t get sick.
I had an awesome cinnamon roll and muffin. I had no reaction.
I loved this place! I had a cinnamon roll and lemon blueberry muffin. Be sure to get the roll warmed up so that it’s gooey. Definitely worth it! The muffin was good too but not the best muffin ever.
Before trying anything i asked a bunch of questions regarding their gluten free cooking protocol because they also make regular stuff in the same kitchen. I was assured they follow and very strict protocol and keep the prep areas separate but they do use the same oven but are very clean. You can see the kitchen and it looks clean and safe. Had the pumpkin cookie which was delicious and did not get sick. Will be going back for the cinnamon rolls which sell out quick.
