    Delicious cookies - much better than chains like crumbl! I've visited this location once or twice and definitely prefer it to the Disney location since there's such a shorter wait! We only had two people ahead of us and waited about 5-8 minutes u til we were assisted. Our cookie handler was super kind and knowledgeable in explaining the cookies. I tried the butterscotch cookie butter cookie which was so rich and delectable. You definitely need to share these cookies or save them for multiples sittings - they are big and very rich. I have tried the pistachio chocolate and coffee cake cookies before and all are delicious. I'd love to try the cakes in the future.

    Came to East End Market to eat and ended up stopping to grab some cookies. I always heard of this bakehouse but never got the chance to try it. Ordered the chocolate chip, ore and banana bread chocolate cookies! All big thick size cookies! Freshly baked and good!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 have loved Gideon's for years as one of my favorite cookies and bakeries ever. This however is the first time I got over to the East End Market location to try them out. I love this little spot way more than the location in Disney Springs just based on the ability to get in line and it not take hours. We stopped in quick towards the end of the night hopeful for some of their special stuffed sugar cookies but we were too late in the day. No worries though because we ended up getting a few cookies, a slice of their rainbow cake, a candle, and a bag of their cookie bites. The candle smells just like banana bread which is amazing. The cake was dreamy and had the perfect amount of frosting. The cookies and cream cookie is my favorite and it never disappoints. The cookie bites are a newer favorite for just a quick little snack. Plus they are chocolate covered so how can you go wrong? This might be the best (and fastest) way to get cookies from Gideon's in Florida. I will definitely be back to this location next time I am in town. (Also quick PSA: If you plan on traveling with the candle, keep it out of your bag in airport security so they can check it out for you the easy way!)

    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…

    Decadent. That's about the only word you need to describe the Glass Knife. We had breakfast here…read moreand finished off with some cakes and deserts. Inside dining area is tight with small availability so get there early if you want to sit without a wait. Once seated the food and service is top knotch. I've ordered a few cakes here as well so if you need a birthday or special event cake this is the spot to go. Highly recommend.

    The Chocolate Duet Cake from The Glass Knife said "I'm rich, I'm dark, I'm decadent... and I know…read moreit." Look: 5/5 -- Absolutely gorgeous. She came dressed for the occasion. Elegant, glossy, and almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Taste & Texture: 4/5 -- This cake is RICH rich. Deep, dark chocolate, decadent layers, and the kind of cake where you take a bite and need a moment of silence afterward. The cake itself? BLISS. Moist, luxurious, chocolatey perfection. My only little "ehhh" was the texture of the glaçage drip. Personally, it wasn't my favorite mouthfeel--but listen, that did NOT stop my fork from continuing its ministry. If you like your chocolate cake dark, decadent, rich, and a little sexy... baby, this is the move. Basically, this isn't "lemme grab a little piece of cake." This is "close the blinds, cancel my plans, and leave me alone with this chocolate decadence." Chocolate Duet Cake: 4/5 Would absolutely commit chocolate sins again.
