This bakery is amazing! They have cool merch and delicious cookies! (Haven't tried the cake yet) we did a large preorder to take home as they do freeze well. I did have to email them a question (they don't have a phone) but the response was pretty quick. Pic is the order i picked up for a friend, 6 cookies/box.

Overall, it's a fun treat that is quite delicious. My kids likes the triple chocolate cookie but it was too much for me. The chocolate chip cookie was fantastic. However, my favorite was the chocolate cake. It's probably the best chocolate cake I've ever had. Not too overwhelming of sweet but still amazing.

This is an iconic cookie shop in Central Florida. There’s a more busy location in Disney Springs, but this is the original location. Located in the East End Market, this location is less busy so crowds are more manageable.
The cookies themselves are great! They have soft insides, are large, and taste pretty good! My favorite is the cookies and crème flavor. Overall, would definitely recommend.

Had to try Gideon’s viral cookies while visiting Orlando. Viral treats can sometimes be a hit or miss, so I didn’t have many expectations, but these cookies are worth the hype! I had an original cookie, while my dad got the toffee pistachio- he said it may be the best cookie he’s tasted in his life!

Gideon's Bakehouse is a fantastic bakery that specializes in hand made cookies.
The cookies are wonderfully buttery with a variety of flavours. The best part is that the cookies are not as sweet as they look with a great balance of flavours.
A nice touch is the shop is well decorated with Victorian era antiques and decor.
There is a six cookies maximum per person in-store without a preorder.

Took a second to find a place to park and then find the shop. We parked on the street as this is a building full of shops in a marketplace style. There was barely a line at 130 in the afternoon on a Sunday. It was clearly marked where to line up and the decor is amazing. Super cute and mysterious! The cashier was super sweet and asked us if we had been there before. We said no and she took her time explaining everything. We ordered our cookies and she asked if we were local then gave us area recommendations. She was so amazing! The cookies were to die for! So good! So worth the trip!

The decorations and ambience of this bakery are amazing! The line wasn’t too long when we went and the chocolate chip cookie was great. I would say that it was very sweet and one is enough for two people. They also had seasonal pumpkin cold brew and it was amazing.

The best cookie ever. Shockingly good and worth every penny. I recommend the pure peanut butter one but the other ones are amazing as well

The cookies are wild! Yes, there’s a novelty aspect to them but, contrary to other “popular” bakeries, you can actually taste the flavors of every cookie, not just the same tired dough over and over. That said, they’re rich and, you may easily halve or quarter them if you’re up for trying several at a time. If you’re in town, place an order ahead and pick them up.

While in Orlando we also stumbled across a really cool artisan bakery called Gideon’s Bakehouse. The place has a strong gothic, Harry Potter kind of vibe. Dark wood, old books, candlelight. It feels like you’ve stepped into a bakery inside a wizard’s library.
And the cookies? Outrageous.
We tried several: Chocolate Chip, Triple Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and the clear winner for me, the Pistachio Chocolate Chip. Each one is thick, rich, and packed with flavor. What really sets them apart is the touch of salt. It balances the sweetness perfectly and makes the cookies incredibly unique.
If you’ve got a sweet tooth and find yourself in Orlando, this place is definitely worth the stop. 🍪✨
