Gideon’s Bakehouse just announced they are temporarily closing. Full details below.

Gideon’s Bakehouse

Back in June, we shared news that Gideon’s Bakehouse, a bakery selling what looks like the world’s best cookies, would be opening in Disney Springs. Although we had no timeline of when this may occur, we were absolutely drooling looking at the photos of these enormously scrumptious cookies.

Just a few weeks ago, we got an even better idea of the amazing cookies the bakery would be whipping up. From chocolate chip and cookies and cream to coffee cake and peanut butter crunch, I cannot wait to try Gideon’s Bakehouse when I go to Disney next month.

To check out their menu (along with some drool-worthy pics), head over HERE.

The bakery itself looks so neat, with dark decor and interesting back stories. The sign hanging outside the door says “cookies, cakes, curiosities.” The gargoyle perched on the building even has a neat story behind it!

“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.⁣”

It reminds me of a mix of gothic architecture and a museum of curiosities. I’m here for it.

Closing Already?

The bakery had a soft opening a few days before Christmas, and judging by the photos I saw on twitter, they had a wildly successful day. The wait to get into the bakery was hours long, but it looks so worth it.

We are just a few short days into the new year, but it looks like Gideon’s Bakehouse is temporarily closing its doors. Check out what they wrote on Instagram:

“Effective this evening, Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs will be temporarily closed. Keep your eyes here for news on our reopen, and we welcome you to visit our @eastendmkt location to satisfy your dessert cravings. Thank you!”

Since the bakery hasn’t had a grand opening yet, they may be temporarily closing to prepare for that event. Who knows? Not us, but we are hopeful the bakery will reopen its doors soon! We will let you know when they do. Those cookies look amazing.
