    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.

    Brandon G.

    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…

I did not care for that. Overall, this was a really fun experience and I'm sad we had to say goodbye.

There are also some pints of ice cream for purchase. I once asked if they had a buko pandan pint available, but they didn't in the freezer. But the staff offered to pack a pint anyways, which was a nice service of them.

Seriously, you can save all your other options for a rainy day. This is the place for any occasion, date, family gathering, or plain ol' get together with friends to enjoy sweets with great company. Located off South Apopka Vineland Road on the Northbound side, Mango Mango is situated in a relatively new development and plaza (if you look at the satelite imagery from Google maps, it will still show undeveloped land as of June 2026). It's less than a 10 minute drive from the Disney Springs property, and about an 18 minute drive from Old Town/Fun Spot which is where we were staying for this particular trip coming from Tampa. As you arrive, you will find a spacious lot, however the actual parking spaces do appear limited (something to consider if you decide to have a large reunion here). Upon entering, you will find a very clean storefront and reception. Overall the store maintains a very neat and tidy appearance that is very welcoming and neutral when it comes to the varying demographics of customers. While we have been to Mango Mango before in a New Jersey location, this location provides a bit of table service (which we have not experienced prior) for dine-in which makes it a bit more intimate. The menu offers plentiful choices of sweets - from bowls with fresh fruits and ice cream, to your specialty drinks including boba. To call Mango Mango a boba shop would do it injustice, as this place truly shines as a hollistic dessert spot. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the selections. Each dish/drink is perfectly made to their own specifications. The best part is that none are overly sweet, which I feel is a crutch that most dessert spots experience. Highly recommend the mixed fresh fruit with sago and jelly! Wish this was in Tampa because this would give our usual boba spot a run for their money. This is a must have if you're in the area, so treat yourself after long hot day at the parks at Mango Mango!

The seat I was sitting in had visible dirt on it and there was some dark long hairs on the seat. I'm not grossed out by that type of thing because if you know anyone with long hair, it just falls out. No big deal but I certainly didn't expect to see it on the seat I was sitting in. The tables and bases all need a thorough cleaning as well as other areas I noticed during our visit. I'd understand this a little more if I saw they were super busy and only had one person working, however, we were the only customers, except for two to-go orders and the one employee was sitting down on his phone when he wasn't helping a customer. As someone who has been in the restaurant industry for over 35 yrs, I am well aware of the things needed to keep a restaurant successful. Attention to detail is one of the key factors and unfortunately Mango Mango is lacking in this area. I hope they can see this review and possibly take a closer look at the cleanliness because the food is on point. Next time I'm in the area hopefully I'll see. If not, I might need to find another place to visit.

I wanted to pick out some cookies to bring home to the family, however most of their flavors contained nuts (kids have nut allergies), so I bought everything that didn't have nuts: the Bites (flavor of the week was OG chocolate chip), and a Cookies & Cream and the Triple Chocolate flavors. Dang - the cookies are indulgent and delicious! These cookies are pretty hefty so I could only eat about an eighth of one at a time. Soo good, but pretty sweet, so have a cup of tea/coffee/milk close by. I loved all the flavors I got, but the OG chocolate chip was my favorite of the three. Stop by if you are near one, just be prepared to wait in line for these treats!
