Gideon's Bakehouse

People wait hours in the Florida sun for a cookie, and now I know why. Gideon’s Bakehouse isn't just a bakery; it’s an experience! The story is as rich as the dough—founded in 2016 after years of perfecting a single recipe, the shop was inspired by a mysterious 1898 cookbook. That old-world, storybook vibe is baked into every corner of the shop (and every bite of their cookies). These aren't your average treats: • The Scale: Each one is nearly half a pound! ⚖️ • The Craft: It takes over 24 hours to prepare a single batch. • The Loot: I snagged the Original Chocolate Chip, the decadent Triple Chocolate, and the salty-sweet Pistachio Toffee. 🍫🥜 My verdict? These cookies are absolutely huge and incredibly rich. I love them! If you are ever at Disney Springs, I highly recommend that you bra

The Baseline: For a desert shop the flavor of offerings must out-weigh the taste of pure sugar, there must be unique/rare offerings that drive me to go there, and the value of the desert must be balanced with the fact I probably just finished a meal. Food: Ginormous cookies full of all the things that you want and need (as long as you define need as sugar, butter, flour, etc.). The cookies are an experience that you should try if you get to visit Disney Springs (though you will have less of a wait if you visit the shop in Orlando). The price of the cookies are substantial but you are getting a true treat when you order. We got a mix of regulars Original chocolate chip, Peanut Butter Crunch, Banana Bread Chocolate chip and Triple Chocolate. We also ordered two seasonal Dark Coffee Ca

Great experience and the staff was so friendly. We waited about 30 minutes which was tolerable but anything longer and we'd reconsider and maybe come back later. Every cookie we got was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. It's definitely worth trying out. We'll definitely be back and will try additional options. Lastly, the banana nitro cold brew was phenomenal. Definitely get this!

Nice place for a dessert or a snack, but you'll have to stay in line for at least 30min (we waited for 40min, even though the girl at the end of the line told us that it should take 1h 20min). After you pass the windows with the cookies and cakes, you may order which one you want and the person at the counter will pick one from a drawer and hand it to you. So if you want to eat one warm, you'll have to take it home. The cookies are indeed big, might be the largest ones I've ever had. We decided to share one and took another one home. Didn't try any of the beverages or the cakes though. Don't know if the cookies were the best ones ever, but they were pretty good

This bakery is so adorable! I have been wanting to come here for years now and I’m so happy I finally was able to! I love the theming and the paintings all over are so cute. I really wish the location was bigger and you could eat in there but still really cute! We ended up getting the original chocolate chip and the pistachio and they were so good! These cookies remind me of the New York cookies and I love how big they are.
