BAD NEWS About Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies in Disney World

[Disney4me]

If you’re tuned in to the world of Disney World snacks, then you’ve DEFINITELY heard of Gideon’s Bakehouse.

Gideon’s Bakehouse

The bakery located at Disney Springs (and East End Market in Orlando) is known for its delicious half-pound cookies and giant cake slices. In fact, it’s so popular that guests will wait in a multi-hour virtual queue just to try the sweets. So is there any way to get the cookies if you’re NOT in Central Florida…or will there be in the future?

Recently, Gideon’s Bakehouse owner Steve Lewis shared a post on Instagram addressing the requests of many loyal fans for Gideon’s to open up shipping. Lewis states, “The requests and many wishes for shipping have been growing. I’m super grateful you love what we’re doing and don’t want to miss out, but there are no plans to offer mail-order desserts.”

“Gideon’s has always been a local from-scratch bakery aiming to create memories for our community and visiting friends. Our team is comically large to satisfy local demand. Meeting a national demand is logistically impossible. I would have to automate the process to take this step, which removes what makes Gideon’s unique. I like being a small local business. I have no backers. I will not franchise and be yet another cookie place in every other shopping plaza in your town. Getting all your monies doesn’t motivate me.”

“I’d rather be sure your experience is the best we can make it, and that won’t happen by spreading myself too thin or letting in development partners. Maybe someday, a third location somewhere interesting, but I’m careful with my baby. Thank you for understanding the vision for this little place. For those living outside of Florida, the anticipation for your next visit grows within us both because we can’t wait to see you again.”

So if you’re hoping for shipping in the future — it’s a no-go. Part of the charm of Gideon’s Bakehouse is the fact that the cookies are made with care, and it’s hard to keep that going with national demand. But maybe one day we’ll get a third location!
