We wanted to see what all the hype was about on these giant cookies so we drove out to Orlando to their other location. You don't have to wait in a virtual queue or lineup for hours like at Disney Springs to try these cookies. You can also order in advance online. There was no line when we went. Plenty of seating outside to eat. The location is nicely decorated and their packaging is so cute. Overall, the cookies were just okay. It was not too sweet which was surprising by how many chips were on it but the middle was too soft for us like a raw cookie dough texture. the edges of the cookies tasted better as it was the right ratio of cookie to topping.
Every time we visit WDW I want to try the raved-about cookies at Gideon's Bakehouse. Unfortunately, the line at the Disney Springs location is always very long and intimidating so we skip it. This year we decided to drive to the East End Market location, which was a great plan because there was NO LINE.
We purchased the Original Chocolate Chip, Triple Chocolate Chip, Banana Bread Chocolate Chip, and Cookies & Cream cookies. These cookies are big and thick - as Gideon says, around a half-pound each. They had a great texture, were soft, and bursting with flavor, as cookies should be. We didn't find any of the flavors to be overpowering, everything complimented each other. All the cookies we tried were VERY DELICIOUS and completely worth the purchase. We loved them all, but our absolute favorite was the Banana Bread Chocolate Chip. It was AMAZING!
These cookies are worth the hype and the next time we are back in WDW we will be hitting up Gideon's Bakehouse again! They do not disappoint!!
Shocked that this place doesn't get 5 stars across the board. I read through a bunch of the 1 star reviews and none of them made sense to me. Granted I don't go here on weekends but there's never been a crazy wait. Compare that to the wait at Disney Springs which is always crazy.
The cookies are consistently amazing. Been coming to this location since 2020 and it's always been consistent. These cookies are certainly different so I guess they won't appeal to every last person but I don't see how that deserves a 1 star review.
If this place was brand new, you could dismiss it as a fad but it's been around for a while now and it's still crazy popular. This shows it's the real deal.
Yeah they're expensive but they're so big you probably won't (or shouldn't) eat it all at once so it's more like getting 3 cookies. Looking at it that way, the price makes sense.
If you haven't tried these cookies yet, go for it and see for yourself what all the hype is about.
