Can't say enough about how good these cookies are. They are INCREDIBLE! I never thought I would stand in line for 45 minutes for a cookies, but I did, and was not disappointed. I hear you can call ahead with a minimum order, but these cookies are something truly special. They are really rich and you probably can't eat a whole cookie is a single sitting. read more

I pre-ordered 6 mixed cookies for collection as I wasn't planning on being around until later in the afternoon and didn't want to run the risk of missing out on the flavours; I'm so pleased I did! Cookies were huge and perfect for sharing. Favourite flavours in the group were pistachio toffee and the cookie flavoured one. So awesome; can't wait to come back and see what else they have to offer! Two days later they still taste great. :) read more

Gideon's was first recommended to me by a coworker that just moved to Orlando and I had been here for several years and never knew about it. They have the best cookies I've ever eaten. I'm a classic kind of guy so the chocolate chip is to die for. The cookies are very thick with a sprinkle of sea salt on the top. Because of their size it's almost like they aren't cooked all the way through which makes it even more awesome. Because of how awesome they are they do sell out fast which thankfully they update the Instagram page letting you know so. Parking can be kind of a pain as I've had to park down the street and walk to it. It took me a minute to find it as it's located in the East End Market. It's definitely my favorite cookies ever and I often frequent there to treat myself. read more

The cookies are just absolutely delicious! So soft and it just melts in your mouth. The only downside to this place is that there is only a small table/barstools to sit at. There is plenty of outdoor seating though! This shop is just one of many little places in this sort of marketplace with lots of goodies. Flavors sell out quickly so try and go early! All in all definitely worth the drive! read more

The cookies are the best- large, flavorful, creative and just plain awesome. There was a slight error that had me leave with less cookies than I paid for- but they reached out to me to correct the problem before I even noticed it. They offered a fair, prompt solution- extremely well handled. Not only are these these the best cookies I've ever had, it is the best customer service I've seen in a long time.

Went there today (9/14/2020) to pick up some cookies from you, saw a young girl and her family there too around 1:15 pm-ish. The girl was filming the decor and telling her mom excitedly that it reminded her of Harry Potter. The lady you have working the counter (tall, a little chubby, blonde hair) is snobbish and unhelpful. From what I saw, she didn't seem like she want help them out. She just asked 'what do you want?' and went back to whatever she was doing. When they ordered, she told them 'put your card in' and huffed off to pack the cookies. She also seemed like she didn't want the kid to take pictures either. Never even thanked them for purchasing 30$ worth of cookies or for stopping by either. As a returning customer watching, I am very disappointed, heard you're opening a second location in Disney Springs, hope you don't bring that nasty attitude with you over there. read more

Just as everyone states, the cookies are huge and you will not be able to eat a whole one in one sitting, or even a day. Extremely rich and almost too sweet but so good. Very fresh and the service is amazing. Thankfully I didn't have to wait in line, but the counter was friendly and willing to talk to you about each flavor and inquire more about each customer, which i LOVED. I ordered classic chocolate chip, the double chocolate and red velvet. Cake was superb and unlike anything I'd ever tried before. I cannot wait to come again. Worth the price indeed! read more

From the Business

Specialties

Gideon's Bakehouse is a dessert project built from an old forgotten dream. We've combined our love for baking with the recipes in a 1898 diary of a young boy named Gideon who dreamed of opening a bakery. Our cake slices are built off of classic recipes and our cookies set the standard for what a cookie should be. 6 ounces. Hand crafted. Melt in your mouth. Flavor packed. You won't experience anything else like it. The cookie revolution has begun!

Meet the Business Owner: Steve L.

Steve Lewis has been working for most of his life to create the perfect chocolate chip cookie. A noble cause, to be sure. After opening the award winning art gallery and pop culture lounge Überbot he returned to his cookie obsessing roots and began spending more time perfecting his craft until Gideon's Bakehouse was born. Steve believes that if you're going to use valuable calories on dessert it better be the worth it. Everything at Gideon's aims to be the best of it's kind. Calories well spent.

They specialize in hand-crafted bon bons and artisanal chocolates but also offer other items such as fruit cake, cocoa lattes, coffee lattes, specialty tea, lemonade and hot tea. Their fruit cakes are the viral fruit pastries that have been taking over social media. Last summer, I got a chance to try some fruit pastries from Tu Cha in Los Angeles, these really are a work of art. Ôbon Chocolatier offers fruit cake flavors such as the lychee rose, strawberry brownie, mango, raspberry and pistachio. I want to try the mango and pistachio ones! They only make a limited amount daily so it's first come, first serve. Once it's sold out, it's gone for the day. Bon bon gift box sets range in pricing pending on how many bon bons you get. Next time, I need to get the 6 bon bons for $23 or 12 bon bons for $45 option. I definitely don't need 24-48 bon bons. Lol. A few of the bon bon flavors that intrigued me include the following: * Soy Caramel * Dubai * Viet Coffee * Mint Chocolate * Strawberry Matcha * Ube * Thai Tea * Rocher Hazelnut * Honey Brown Butter * Passion Fruit I didn't get to try any of the bon bons, fruit cakes or drinks on this particular day as we were coming from two other bakeries earlier and were full.

If you're a fan of rich, indulgent cookies, Gideon's Bakehouse in the Northern Orlando Marketplace is an absolute gem. Far superior to their Disney Springs location, this spot exudes charm and delivers an exceptional experience every visit. The staff here are a standout--they're always patient, informative, and happy to guide you through the variety of incredible flavors. Now, about the cookies: these are not your everyday treats. They're decadently rich, almost a meal in themselves! In the three plus years we've been coming, we've yet to finish an entire cookie in one sitting, but that's the beauty of sharing--you get to sample more flavors. This time around, we indulged in peanut butter, chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, white chocolate chip espresso (December's cookie of the month), and banana nut bread. Every flavor was a hit; not one has ever disappointed. Parking can be tricky, but street parking nearby makes it manageable. It's worth the minor hassle to avoid the overwhelming crowds at Disney Springs. I hope this location remains because it's a treasure we don't want to lose. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this cookie paradise! read more

I am so thrilled to share my positive review of Gideon Bakehouse Disney Springs! Every time I visit, I cannot resist indulging in their mouthwatering cakes. While many patrons rave about their cookies (and rightfully so), I find the cakes to be the true stars of the show. On my last days of visiting Disney Springs, I make it a point to stop by Gideon Bakehouse and grab some cookies and cake slices to enjoy at home. The ambiance of the bakery itself is delightful. The spooky yet inviting atmosphere makes every visit a memorable experience. Even though it can get busy at times, the friendly staff ensures that wait times are manageable, and the overall experience remains enjoyable. Whether you are visiting Disney Springs or just crave an unforgettable cake, I highly recommend paying Gideon Bakehouse a visit. You will not be disappointed! read more

As I took a bite of the cookie, a soft and gentle crunch could be heard. The blend of chocolate chips and raisins gave it a burst of flavors that complemented each other perfectly, making my taste buds dance in delight. The aroma of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air. The ambiance of the pastry shop was warm and welcoming, with the scent of baked goods engulfing me as I sat and savored my cookie. The environment was cozy and rustic, with wooden tables and chairs arranged sparsely, giving off a homely and relaxing vibe. It felt like a place where one could unwind and relish the simple pleasures in life. Overall, the cookie was a delectable delight that left me longing for more, and the ambiance of the pastry shop provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. read more

On December 25, 2023, at 6:45 pm, while in the checkout line, I notified an employee of my deafness and pointed to the cookies I wanted. Despite presenting my cast member card, the employee communicated with incomplete sign language, lacking full access for effective communication. I couldn't comprehend without written communication tools, and the subsequent interaction with the manager yielded the same issue. This experience constitutes a significant failure to provide equal communication under the Americans with Disabilities Act and FCHR: Public Accommodation, making it the worst customer service encounter due to poor communication. read more

PRO TIP: place your order online ahead of time! If I'm not mistaken, orders should be placed the day before. It definitely helps avoid the wait, which I hear can get long. At open, there was a line of about 5 people (on a weekday). By the time I left East End Market (at about noon), that line was out the door. Cookies are kinda pricey ($6 a piece) but large and amazing and delicious and well worth it. I love the spooky vibes of the shop! read more

If you are looking for the best cookie of your life then this is the place to go!!!! First I love how this place is located in East End Market- which is this building that has a few different kind of eateries available for you to try. Their classic chip cookie is always a must try! If you are in the Disney Area I also have seen their cookies sold at a restaurant is Disney Springs! Get there early because they will SELL OUT :) read more

These were some killer cookies! They're super delicious, super chewy and the hype is totally real! If you're a sweet tooth than this is a MUST. The cookies are huge and super stuffed so you can also share them. I had the chocolate chip and then took home a peanut butter and chocolate chip. Would DEFINITELY be coming back. Went to the East End Market location and it's also a nice place to sit and just have a good time. read more

The Gideon's bakehouse at East End Market stands out as a charming, beautifully decorated cookie haven. Above all, East End Market offers a laid-back atmosphere, making it much easier to grab a delicious cookie compared to their Disney Springs location. Now, onto the cookies - they are substantial and incredibly indulgent. My choice, the banana bread cookie, made my cheat day absolutely worthwhile! read more

Whatever this coffee toffee cookie is that my friend brought to dinner was ridiculous. I think it was one of their specials. How they keep it doughy but still cooked is beyond me. The salts create the perfect blend of sweet and salty. I hope that coffee toffee becomes one of their new standards. read more

I just don't get why so many people have gone nuts for these cookies. I felt like the cookie was undercooked and it had WAY too much chocolate and salt. Was not a fan at all. I have the chocolate chip and the pistachio - a couple bites was all I could tolerate. read more

It's not too sweet either, which really makes it easy to eat. Some of their cakes are able to sit out and some need to be kept cold, so keep that in mind with your plans. It's a cozy little shop, so don't expect to lounge inside with a huge group of people. The cookies were my favorite part. I prefer cookies over cakes usually, so it was nice to see that as an option. My favorite was the ginger cookie. I will absolutely be back to buy more of those. The person working was very nice and accommodating as well. Overall, a great experience. If you want fancy cupcakes to give to someone (or to enjoy for yourself) absolutely stop here. Or if you're like me and you're really missing gingerbread cookies in the dead of summer, grab some of the ginger cookies.

I got an assortment of cookies like the cookies and cream, peanut butter crunch, pistachio toffee, banana bread chocolate chip and their pumpkin bread chocolate crumb cookie (seasonal). They are huge and are great for sharing. I've given some to friends and family and will freeze the ones remaining because eating them all at once would be Big Backerous lol The ambiance inside is perfect for the goth lover and I love how well thought out the decor is. Once you make it to the top of the line outside, there is a little bit more waiting inside but no seating available. It is a pick up and go situation.

The cookies are ok. $7 each good, no, but one can feed 4 people in my opinion. It's not super large, but it's dense and thick. They are pre-wraope To be fair, I'm not a fan of super sweet treats (no interest in crumble either and yes I was made to try it by a friend) and they only have some options in the nighttime to include some dark chocolate options. I get the theme with the shop being dark inside, but stinks for those there in the morning that want to try it. Tried coffee cake (ok. Not the best), banana bread chocolate chip (ok, not a synthetic flavor which was a plus), peanut butter chocolate chip (more chocolate than PB), and pistachio chocolate chip (maybe these best of all, since there was a counter to the sweetness). All just really heavy, novelty only. But if you love super sweet (like one of my friends), this may be what you are looking for.

But the cashier said they only last about 3 days and I wasn't going home until 4 days later. I probably could have froze them. Oh well, it gives me an excuse to return! The Cookie Bar at summer house serves as a nice AC'd respite if you are trying to evade the summer heat and humidity. They have a few tables inside and you can also get a nice beverage in addition to the cookies. The cookie bar is impressive in and of itself. There are cookies stacked on cookies displaying like 20 different kinds. I was tempted to get the Thai banana one and the seasonal cherry pie one, but alas, I got the smores. I also got a peach lemonade and it was great!! Very refreshing! I highly recommend this place even if you prefer crispy cookies. They have a good crunch while still being chewy.

I've visited the business twice. And the two best things for me were the Reese's peanut butter cup, brownie, and the red velvet cookie. The brownie was number one very moist, but I also tasted the Reese's peanut butter flavor and it wasn't too chocolatey if that makes sense. The red velvet cookie was pretty good. It had white chocolate chips in there and wasn't bad. As far as the cupcakes, I tried the strawberry cupcake, the Oreo, cupcake, and another pastry. Unfortunately, for me, they were a miss. The cake is self is good and has nice flavor but the icing on all of my cupcakes tastes like medicine or fake sugar. I don't know how to describe it. I just know that I was not a fan and I went back the second time to try something new in hopes of liking it more and it just didn't hit the mark for me. So for this, I have to give three out of five stars. I would go back if I was in the area and wanted a brownie, but I wouldn't make a trip specifically to visit this business.

However, they always have fun creations popping up in their case. Some fan favorites are the Mango Sticky Rice Tart and literally any of their pop tarts. The staff is kind and efficient.

However, they have plenty of outdoor seating that's perfect for hanging out with friends on a Sunday morning. Literally one of my favorite spots. Thank you Buttermilk for being THAT girl.

I have been a Buttermilk Bakery fan for well over a decade. Until this last weekend…read more I got online at 8:15 in the morning to place my order. Each item that I selected came up with a message that read, "Our store is not currently accepting orders." I tried again a few minutes later. Then again. And again. And again. I tried to call and received a voicemail that stated a different number. At 8:50am, the option to order seemed to be back up and running. I ordered five items, including the Roasted Tomatoes & Goat Cheese Quiche. For context: I live 45 minutes away from Buttermilk Bakery. It used to be on my way to work but, as of a few years ago, that is not the case anymore. So, it is now a special occasion destination. Reserved only for weekends when I can make the trip. More context: I have been raving to one of my closet friends for years about how much I love this place. My most emphatic musings have been about the quiche. Today, since she and I were planning an afternoon poolside, I thought that I would surprise her with an assortment of Viennoiserie and other items. At 10:36am, I received a call from Buttermilk. The woman on the phone informed me that they had run out of the quiche. How?!? Once the website was working, I was able to place my order quickly and the item didn't even read, "Low stock." I know that this is a small problem in a world full of large problems, but the thing that really set me off is that when I arrived at the store, the person in line in front of me asked for the Strawberry Buttermilk Pie. He was told that they were out of stock. He was pleasant in stating that there appeared to be slices in the refrigerator case. The girl behind the register told him that they were being held for online orders. When it was my turn, I stated that no one had held my slice of quiche. She blandly said, "I am sorry," and proceeded. I then stated that I was unhappy and had driven some distance. She asked if I would like something else. I responded that the person on the phone had simply told me that I would receive a refund. I then asked for the girl to check on my refund. She said it was not processed yet. So, I said that I would wait. She needed to ask for help to process the refund. She wasn't nasty to me, but she did not care one iota. My effort and subsequent inconvenience meant nothing. I wonder if my refund would even have been processed had I not asked. My friend and I thought the pastries that we received were fine, but she is fitness-minded and was hesitant to indulge in so many carbs without the rich protein that the quiche would have provided. And, yet, more context: This happened once before. With the quiche. Maybe a year ago. Though, that time, I believe it was a butternut squash quiche. My husband needed to be in the area, so he suggested that he pick-up at Buttermilk. When he arrived, he was told that there would be no quiche. No call. No nothing. He didn't think to ask for a refund and we never received one. That time, I simply thought, "Well, accidents happen." This time, I think that I received very shoddy service. I felt very disrespected. I felt unseen. I have loved this place, but I am so disappointed.

There is not any indoor seating so make sure you're ready to take your ice cream on the go. They also have a case of pre-packed pints and ice cream sandwiches, which looked amazing. Overall, Greenery Creamery was exactly what I needed, and I look forward to returning soon! Important stuff--they do have allergy-friendly items, they are in the same case as the others and still use shared scoops. If a severe allergy, probably soft serve is the best option or try calling ahead to see if they are able to open up a new container for you.
