Gideon’s Bakehouse New July Cookie Flavor is a Summer Treat!

Every month, Gideon’s Bakehouse releases a special cookie flavor. Check out what’s on the menu for July!

In June of 2020 , we brought you news that the Award-winning Gideon’s Bakehouse was coming to Disney Springs this year.

In December 2020, Gideon’s Bakehouse opened its doors for a short-lived soft opening which was met with long wait times and eager enthusiasm by fans dying to get their hands on one of these decadent treats.

After a short, temporary closing, Gideon’s Bakehouse had its grand opening day on January 16, 2021 and guests were so excited to get their hands on these cookies they lined up early to get a place in the virtual queue.

THE VIRTUAL QUEUE WAS FINALLY CLOSED OFF LESS THAN AN HOUR AFTER GIDEON’S BAKEHOUSE OPENED. THE FINAL QUEUE WAS GIVEN AN 11 HOUR RETURN TIME!

Now 11 hours may seem a bit excessive to wait for an ordinary cookie, but Gideon’s Bakehouse fans know that these cookies are anything BUT ordinary.

Recently, fellow KtP writer, Marisol, compared Gideon’s to the new Everglaze Donuts at Disney Springs. Check out who reigns supreme!

Gideon’s Bakehouse

Gideon’s Bakehouse’s original store opened in 2016 in the East End Market. With just $800 in the budget, no investors, and one employee, they quickly grew to become a world renowned bakery.

Gideon’s prides itself on it’s attention to detail and theming. Nothing is done by accident.

Even the gargoyle that sits at the top of the new bakery location has a great a backstory!

“AT 5:18 AM ON DECEMBER 18TH, 2020, A MYSTERIOUS CREATURE FLEW OVER OUR BAKEHOUSE AT DISNEY SPRINGS, STOLE OUR G, AND PERCHED ATOP THE BUILDING. HE HAS YET TO MOVE, AND WE HAVE A FEELING HE MIGHT STAY. WE ARE IN POSSESSION OF THE JOURNAL OF JONATHAN LINDWURM, THE ORIGINAL SHOP OWNER OF THE SPACE WE OCCUPY. WITH IT, WE HOPE TO UNCOVER THE HISTORY OF THIS NEW GUARDIAN OF GIDEON.”

July Limited Edition Offerings

In February, guests fell in love with the Eternal Flame cookie that packed some heat with it’s cayenne spice mix. In March, we got a unexpected choice with the Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cookie that PB fans fell in love with.

April’s limited edition flavor introduced us to Stuart Valencia and his special Orange Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Peanut Butter Espresso fans were treated to a delightful limited edition option in May and June brought us the return of the popular White Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Nut cookie.

Now it’s July, (can you believe it?) and there is a brand new flavor to celebrate all month long at Gideon’s!

This brand new release combines vanilla bean cookie dough infused with Florida Key Lime juice and is then covered with chocolate chips and Gideon’s special Key Lime Pie crumbs.

According to Gideon’s Instagram page, they drew inspiration from the amazing key lime pie on a stick found at the Marketplace in Hollywood Studios.

It’s nice to have a cookie flavor that brings a balance of tart and sweet to the mix. I personally love key lime pie and would love to try this flavor!

Key Lime Pie Cake

If the idea of milk chocolate and lime turns you off consider trying the more traditional Key Lime Pie Cake! This 3-layer vanilla key lime cake is made with a tangy key lime cream cheese frosting and house-made graham cracker crust accents.

Fun Fact From Gideon’s Bakehouse: Did You Know?: Florida legend tells us that the key lime was initially given to early Spanish explorers by a pod of beautiful, raven-haired mermaids they called “Las Agrias.” Years later, Florida fishermen introduced the world to Key Lime Pie.

You can find the Key Lime Pie Cake at Gideon’s Disney Springs location everyday or at the original East End Market location every weekend!

July is bound to be an exciting time if you plan to make a visit at Gideon’s Bakehouse! You can’t go wrong with anything you order at Gideon’s Bakehouse, but if you love sweet and tart combinations, be sure to grab this month’s new cookie while it lasts!
