1. Original Chocolate Chip Cookie – Gideon’s Bakehouse

One of the newest locations in all of Disney Springs is located in The Landing area and combines an immersive backstory and theming with sinfully good cookies. Gideon’s Bakehouse gained popularity with another location in Orlando and recently came to Disney Springs, bringing its hand crafted and unique cookies that take a full day to make and come in at nearly half a pound each. The interior of Gideon’s Bakehouse is gothic and dark, boasting a wide array of props and items that showcase the strange and slightly dreadful including intimidating portraits and all sorts of bottles and potions. Boasting a lengthy virtual queue most days since opening, Gideon’s Bakehouse features a small menu of cookies and cake slices including the popular Original Chocolate Chip Cookie. The outrageous cookie took fifteen years to perfect and combines different types of chocolates and vanillas and a texture reminiscent of cookie dough to create a truly unforgettable snack.

2. Peanut Butter Explosion – Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew

Another new location in Disney Springs invites guests into an inviting and warm shop that serves up specialty doughnuts and coffee that guests will find truly irresistible. Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew is located in Disney Springs’ West Side and features a small but irresistible menu of and-crafter doughnuts of both the cake and yeast varieties. In addition to the charming interior, guests can also enjoy the show kitchen where the chefs are creating the delicious offerings all day long. No doughnut option at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew is a bad choice, but one of the most decadent offerings is the Peanut Butter Explosion which features a chocolate iced doughnut topped with peanut butter chips, crushed Reese’s Cups, and chocolate peanut butter frosting for the ultimate peanut butter and chocolate dream.

5. House-Made S’more – The Ganachery

A truly indulgent snack that many guests love to enjoy while in Disney Springs is actually found in what is considered to be a shopping location, not a dining location. The Ganachery is located in The Landing area of Disney Springs and features irresistible chocolate treats made in house by expert chocolatiers who are happy to converse with guests while working behind the counter in a show kitchen crafting amazing treats. In addition to rich chocolates and ganache, there is one specialty snack that guests can order at The Ganachery that includes a show behind the counter as well. The House-Made S’more is an elevated version of the classic campfire treat that features a vanilla bean marshmallow square, soft graham crackers, rich chocolate, and salted caramel ganache. Each House-Made S’more is torched to order, so guests can watch as one of the chocolatiers hand torches their marshmallow to gooey perfection and then uses it to melt the indulgent chocolate for the perfect melted and sweet treat in Disney Springs.
