A small business turned into cult-following overnight. A few years later this Bakehouse now has a spot in one of the most sought after locations in Central Florida, Disney Springs.

Let’s Talk About The Space

Being a Florida local and aspiring Business owner, I had been excitedly waiting for this location to open. I love a success story!

Steve Lewis utilizes his limited staff for every aspect of the Bakehouse including design and decor. They keep the story, recipes and product authentic to them. I venture to say, that is why Gideon’s is the PERFECT addition to Walt Disney World. Walt himself had a nack for storytelling and keeping a culture and legacy running for generations to come.

The artwork was done by the same artist Steve Lewis has partnered with for years and the majority of the interior has been placed and decorated solely by the Gideon’s staff (more like family). The space isn’t big…but the way it is designed you could be in there for an hour and still not see every detail.

Our Experience With Gideon’s Bakehouse

We arrived early, about 9am. Already a line had formed to the parking garage by 9:45am. Steve himself excitedly greeted each guest, opening and closing the doors along with his staff. He took time to have conversation and take photos with his “fans.” Make no mistake, to locals in Central Florida he is somewhat a celebrity mixed with familiar friend.

We entered the doors of Gideon’s at about 10:15am. I was blown away with how they kept the charm of the original location, yet elevated it to the next level. Beautiful lighting and a fun soundtrack filled the space, along with a really cool affect by the cash registers! Every employee greets you with a smile while every step taken has something new to see.

Now let’s talk Cookies!

Something you may not know about me is I always have a space for sweet treats! I love bakeries and anything that comes from them…these cookies are out of this world! They are very rich in flavor, and the texture is unique to Gideon’s. I had the Coffee Cake Cookie, the limited edition Cookie Vom Krampus and a Triple Chocolate cookie.

The coffee cake cookie was probably one of the coolest cookies I have had. The flavor was amazing but it was the classic Gideon’s texture that made it that much more amazing. I would highly recommend you get it for a breakfast treat! Along with a Coffee, which they sell, and plenty of choices for that as well!

My final take-away? Gideon’s Bakehouse is a fabulous addition to the Springs. I am excited to see how well this location does! I also plan to head back soon to try the coffee and every treat I missed!

Till next time, See Ya Round Insiders!
