    VIP POOL SECTION
    Jessica P.

    Pool staff review: What an amazing experience!! Here for the first time and the Lifeguards and staff made our time THE BEST!! Taylor and Justin were superb and that's what you really want out of a Disney resort.

    Great place to grab coffee before heading to the parks or (as we did) before a morning stroll around the grounds of the Contemporary. The Mickey and Minnie latte art is a super fun addition that will add a bit of magic to your morning. They serve Joffrey's Coffee, like the rest of the resorts on Disney property and the coffee is consistently good. Located on the ground floor near the bus stops, it's easy to miss as everyone focuses on the Grand Canyon Concourse. The only downside is they close at one, so you can't grab an afternoon or evening coffee here. If you've got time, walk out of the backside of the ground floor and enjoy your coffee with a view of Bay Lake and Bay Lake Tower, a relaxing and beautiful way to start your day.

    Great Value for a snack credit and the only Specialty Coffee in the Contemporary/Bay Lake Tower complex. Fun Latte art!

    Just a stop through in the lobby or as your walking around. Great to grab a coffee or snack.

    Uniqueness: Massive Cookies and Cakes, do not underestimate it!…read moreWait Time: [x][x][x][x][x] Food Quality: [x][x][x][x][x] Service: [x][x][x][x][x] Setting: [x][x][x][x][x] Cost: [x][x][x][x][ ] Recommendation? The Pistachio Toffee Cookie was my favorite alongside the Banana Walnut! Heard the amazing hype about Gideons and I knew I had to make sure I get a stop to try this amazing, mysterious cookie spot in Disney Springs. Located near the Boat House and Irish Pub, you'll see this somewhat secretive building with a long line of people waiting outside. It may seem long but it actually goes by somewhat quick at around 15-20 min and it was well worth the wait. The inside reminds of the Haunted Mansion with the spooky decor and although they only serve cookies, cake, and coffee/drinks, they honed their craft down on excellent quality baked goods here. The cookies are just densely packed with ingredients, firm on the outside and soft doughy in the inside. 1-2 cookies is definitely enough to last a long while and the cake slices are more like 2-3 slices in a slice so be aware of their sizing here. Staff here were very friendly and welcoming here, and made sure you got exactly what you were looking for. I also got one of their cold brews and it was perfectly made and sweet. Cost was fine and comparing this place to Crumbles, Gideons was hands down much better in quality and pricing. I will definitely agree with the public sentiment for Gideon: A known staple for amazing cookies in Disney Springs, you have to visit here when you're in the area and leave here with a few cookies you will not regret!

The actual shop is relatively small - a little dark with cute decor - looks like an old library. The cookies and cake slices are huge! We got the original choclate chip cookie, cookies and cream and a slice of Chocolate everything cake? Unfortunately we did not take any pictures of the items we bought. the cookies and cake slices were very decadent. Way too rich for my palatte! Unfortunately did not care for it. It was dense and rich and buttery.

They have tables inside, so we opted to enjoy our food here. Items ordered: Hot chocolate- Good chocolate flavor and not too sweet Macaroons- kiddo ate them but I did not try them Almond croissant- flaky, great almond flavor, and delicious!! Chocolate mousse- not too sweet and texture and flavor were fine. Tarte au citron- yummy lemon tart! Plain croissant- perfectly executed We tried to go back for lunch the following day but the lunch line was insane and they do not offer mobile ordering.

The videos make them look massive and honestly, they are. The size of one's head! See pic for reference. For two adults and one child, we ordered three items, which ended up being way more than we needed. The croissant alone was so huge it probably would have been enough to share. While it was flaky and semi-warm, the chocolate was a bit overpowering and didn't balance well with the pastry itself. (my opinion only) Don't get me wrong it was good. Just not the amazing, life-changing pastry TikTok made it out to be. In my opinion, it's a little overrated. It's definitely fun for the novelty and the photos. My toddler loved it (it was literally the size of her head), so that alone made the stop worth it. I would have to say it is good, but not great. Come for the picture-worthy croissants and the experience, just maybe don't order as much as we did!

My husband had the Peruvian shrimp with yellow rice, salad, and black beans. We were both raving about the taste while eating. They have a range of dishes from across Latin America, and lots of gluten free options. They aren't safe for celiacs though. They use a shared fryer. If you are super sensitive or have celiac, just beware of that. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Conveniently located in the theme parks area near Orlando. You should not miss this restaurant. Try something new if you've never tasted Latin American cuisine, or try it if you've grown up with it. You won't go wrong and you'll likely be back.

    Sofrito was amazing…read more We wanted something fast, but not fast food with a large seated area outside. This checked off all of our boxes. You order at a kiosk fast food style, but all of the food is then prepared freshly and authentically. They have a huge menu with all kinds of delicious Latin eats like sandwiches and platters. We absolutely loved our Cuban sammies which came on thick and sweet bread. My kids kept it simple with tenders and fries and also enjoyed! They have a big drink selection and you can find everything from juices to fresh cocktails. The biggest hit was their large indoor screened patio - perfect for my kids to run around. If you want to avoid fast food but also don't feel like taking your kids to a proper sit down restaurant than this is a really great option.
