I somehow must be living under a rock because apparently this brand of cookies is super popular and I now get the hype. I was told that if you go to the location in Disney Springs that there's always a super long line but thankfully at this location, there was no line at all. The set up is very cute in East End market and it's super yummy. I ordered the banana bread chocolate chip and a limited edition one. All so great, but I especially loved the banana bread one. The cookies are huge and so delicious. Will definitely get more if I'm back in town.

This place has been on my list for AGES!!! we were finally close to Orlando after coming back from our cruise so we stopped by. This is the cutest little place and it's definitely giving Harry Potter vibes. I loved all of the decorations. We got there when they opened and we're greeted promptly. We tried four different cookies and all of them were AMAZING.

Yum! What a cool concept in ambience for a cookie shop. I love a good witchy vibe. Not to mention the cookies are massive. We came to Easton market for other things, but had to stop at Gideon's for a cookie. We did not eat it on the spot, but ended up bringing it home and heating it up. The cookie was delicious - soft & chocolatey. The staff was quick to get our order at the establishment and there was a line behind us indicating it was a popular choice. Looking forward to trying more options and potentially their cake next time.

If you're looking for a rich indulgent cookie, head to Gideon's but be warned the lines can be super long. When I came to Disney Springs two years ago, I skipped Gideon's as the line was wrapped around a couple corners. This year, I was able to finally try them as the line was only to the end of the block. The line moves quickly which was nice but it ended up being about 20 minutes. The interior is very interesting and slightly creepy - it's giving Tim Burton. Things to know: 1) at the end of the line, there's a staff member with the menu that you can keep, 2) they limited it to 8 cookies per person, 3) there's a morning and an evening special cookie that runs out and is not remade, 4) there's also cakes and coffee drinks, and 5) there's trading cards if you order a 6 pack. The cookies are about 1.5 inches thick and are soft and chewy. I would say they are on par with levain in nyc and would definitely stop by if the line was less than 30 minutes.

I've had Gideon's many a time over the years- as gifts. Finally. It was my turn. On the rainy day I happened to be in Disney Springs, I saw the line- for the first time- a reasonable length. After our *unusually* fast wait, I finally entered the world of Gideon. It was spookier than I anticipated but still so amazing. My only complaint was their options of cookies. They have a good variety, but traditional of a bake house, they change. Alas, my trip to Gideon's was long awaited and very enjoyed.

I feel like this was probably the best cookie I ever had. I'm a huge cookie lover and when I heard about this place, I had to try it out! There was a line out the door on a Sunday afternoon but it moved quickly and I was too excited to really notice. The place itself has such a Cool vibe. Old books and decor. Reminded me of like St. Augustine or New Orleans vibes. Loved it! The employee was kind and knowledgeable on the products. I felt like the prices were fair and the taste was delicious and honestly hard to beat! I will absolutely be back!

It is no secret that Gideons is viral. We tried to go at Disney Springs a few days before but the line just to join the line was outrageous so we skipped it. Instead we went to the East End Market location which was a much better experience in my opinion. We got there around opening on a Thursday morning. There were a few people ahead of us but it only took about five minutes to get through the line. Much more manageable and way less stressful. We ordered four cookies. Two were limited edition which were the cookies and cream and the coffee cake. We also got the original chocolate chip and the pistachio toffee. Everything came out to about $28-30 with tip. Overall I think it is a great cookie. They are certainly dense in a sense but don't taste too indulgent. I do not know if it fully lives up to the hype which is where they lose a star. Still a fun experience and I wish them all the best. I would like to know that there isn't any seating at this location. However, there are a lot of benches that exists right outside the market.

Hands down best cookies in town, but they need to keep their game up as SummerHouse has a few good ones too. I'm normally instantly greeted and they answer all my questions. It always smells so good that it's hard to make a decision. I try to go for the limited edition flavors. Remember that it's only 2 per person when it comes to those. Keep up the good creativity and delicious treats. Don't forget to check out their candles. They smell just as great as the seasonal flavors.

Came here to grab a cookie on my way to an event and grabbed a chocolate chip for my husband and I wanted to get the limited edition chocolate covered cookie bits in peanut butter but they only had pecan, so I got that one. The worker said the flavors for that are whatever the warehouse has, but I might be able to pre-order so I'll look into that for next time. Another nice visit!

This is Orlando's gothic cookie company with the hugest cult following, though I'm not sure if non-Disney and non-Orlando people know much about them. This location is housed inside some small food hall type of building, and I was a bit surprised to see no one in line. Now I will say that I was pretty underwhelmed by these cookies, but as you can see, I had to wait a couple of days to eat the original chocolate chip, so I'm willing to give them another try. Another blunder was that the employee got my order wrong, even though she repeated the flavors I wanted properly. So, she ended up inserting a flavor that I did not want or like at all. If I'm buying expensive cookies, I feel like you should at least get my flavors right. The cookies didn't taste very buttery to me. They almost tasted like a mouthful of hardened dough and sugar. I surprisingly enjoyed the peanut butter crunch the most, though I wonder if it's because I ate that one very soon after receiving it (though none of them were warm). I had to wait an extra half day before eating the other ones, since I bought them right before my flight back home. I don't think half a day should have that much effect on the degradation of a cookie. I do appreciate how cool they look in the box, and how carefully wrapped and designed they are. You also get some Tim Burton art style trading cards with your purchase! They were neat souvenirs, so I'll hopefully have a better experience next time.

Can't go wrong with a Gideon's Bakehouse cookie!

Time after time Gideon's Bakehouse keeps making amazing cookies!!! I love this original Gideon's location located inside East End Market. The cookies are HUGE and loaded with chocolate chips. They always have a limited edition cookie on the menu and I always love to see what it is. This week it is Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl and I cannot wait to see how it tastes. The cookies are large and make for the perfect treat to spread out over a day or two!! Don't skip out on these sweet treats!

Brittany S.

I ordered the original chocolate chip cookie and banana bread chocolate chip cookie. They were phenomenal! My favorite was the banana bread chocolate chip. I wish I got more than two cookies. Best cookie I ever had!!! Service was great and the cookie stand was very cute.

Delaney S.

Craving a good cookie? There is no other place to get your cookie fix. I've been visiting here for years and love trying all the new flavors for the different holidays. This shop is located inside the East End Market, and while at times the parking can get pretty crazy, persevere because it's worth it. There is a line that starts at the front counter and goes around the corner and out the side door to the building if need be. Just know that certain cookies do sell out. Over the Halloween season I really enjoyed the Frankenstein cookie and Bride of Frankenstein. The Frankenstein cookie was like double chocolate and the Bride of Frankenstein is the blonde version. You also can never go wrong with the OG chocolate chip cookie. These cookies are huge and worth the cost. Something good to nibble on over the course of a couple days. I also appreciate the aesthetic. The library feel plus the merch being sold like yummy smelling candles.

Ask the Community - Gideon's Bakehouse

Approximately how much a cookie cost?

$6 to $6.50 for their specialty cookie each month!

Do you have napolians?

They do not

How are the cakes?

I have day dreams of the red velvet cake. It was the best I've ever had in my life!

Has there been any word of a gluten free cookie in the future?

Unfortunately, no. They mention something about it in the fine print on their website. They said they do not want to sacrifice taste or quality.

How do you place a delivery order?

Gideon's does not fulfill delivery or shipping orders; you can preorder and pickup from the East End location through their website, but zero delivery. (Also stated on their website in FAQ's).

Are their vegan options on the menu?

They do not have vegan or gluten free options.

Do you have the Frankenstein cookie currently?

Since it is a limited time offering in October, unless you are there for that month, no. It also sells out quickly fairly often on weekends during October, so be sure to go early or on weekdays if you must have one.

Do they have uber eats or grub hub?

No, not at this time. They usually sell out, so I believe they have a pretty firm stance on selling to in-person buyers. There is also a limit on the amount of cookies you can buy, so be aware of that as well. All of that said: it is SO worth it to… Read more

5 Stars for fancy chocolate perfect for gifting (or a "treat yourself" moment)!…read more I finally took the plunge and got a couple of truffle chocolates and fruit-shaped patisseries from O Bon. First thing I appreciated was the super friendly staff who helped me make my choices. When you're paying over $3 per truffle, you want recs! They also helped me pick the fruit cakes. Though the treats were an absolute delightful indulgence, I see these being my go-to hostess gift from now on. They look decadent and meticulously crafted and come in great packaging worthy of gifting.

So funny as I was just at Light on the Sugar earlier in the day prior to stopping into East End…read moreMarket where Ôbon Chocolatier is located. The people at Light on the Sugar told me Ôbon Chocolatier is their new concept and sister company specializing in artisanal chocolates. So here I am scoping out the scene. Ôbon Chocolatier has a primo spot at East End Market right by the main front entrance. They have their own private entrance too, which is nice. 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. Ha. Next time we're back in Orlando, definitely going to come back to try these! Beautiful store all in all.

The Service The counter service was excellent with the girl assisting with my kiosk order. You'll eat your biscuit at the counter as there is no table service. The Food Unfortunately, they lose a star if you want anything other than a biscuit. I wanted a biscuit with a side of scrambled eggs and sausage. That wasn't going to happen as the only thing available was a pre-made egg and a thin slice of sausage. I also like to put honey on my biscuit and the honey that was provided was clearly watered down. Another star lost. An unusual twist, which is a pain, is the fact that if you want a coffee or a tea, you have to go to another vendor in the building. Bottom line, if you're looking for a biscuit, this is a good place to get one. Just bring your own honey. If you're looking for a biscuit with your breakfast, you may want to look elsewhere.

We wandered just off the main downtown strip and stumbled into this little gem. Immediate warm welcome, which I always appreciate, especially when I'm in a post-meal haze. Then I saw the pastry case... and wow. It was one of those moments where you genuinely consider making poor financial and dietary decisions just to try everything. The croissants alone? Massive. I'm talking oversized, beautifully layered, stuffed with different fillings and topped like they're competing for a prize. A younger, more reckless version of me would've ordered at least three without hesitation. My only "complaint" (if you can call it that) is that everything is so big. I wish they had mini versions--like a tasting lineup--because I wanted to try everything but also didn't want to commit to a full-size pastry I knew I couldn't finish. Shoutout to the people who can, though. I respect you. I kept it simple with a cappuccino plus an extra shot (non-negotiable at that point), and it was exactly what I needed. Bonus points for the service--they actually brought it out to the table, which felt like a small but appreciated touch. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can vibe however you're feeling. Overall, a perfect little stop to recharge and pretend you didn't just eat your body weight in carbs.

Light, airy, not overly sweet, and gone in about three bites flat. No notes. Tried the crème brûlée pastry too. Points for creativity all day. It's a cool concept and well executed, just didn't hit the same level as the cream puff. Still good, just not the headliner. And the iced tea deserves a mention. Strong. Like, actually strong.
