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.

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!

I finally got a chance to try a cookie (actually two) last night after our movie.

The 2 cookies I got were the Crispy Chocolate Chip with the rice crispy treats on top and the S'more. They were big cookies, enough to share. The chocolate chips were so good and just the right size. The cookie itself was crisp on the outside and soft inside. Probably the best cookies I've ever had. The staff were friendly and worked the line pretty quickly. The cookie bar itself has an entrance so you don't have to enter though the restaurant, so its very convenient. The restaurant was busy which is also a good sign. I can't wait to come back and try more flavors.

I ordered the Chai Tea, Lemon Cookie and Apple Oatmeal cookie. The staff was very helpful and offered me water because I was parched! I asked them what the theming and design was fashioned after, and they said it's "Californian Style". To me, it gave the vibes of the 40's and a cool breeze on the beach. The pale vintage green color is light and gives vacation vibes. The Chai Tea was refreshing and balanced. The Lemon Cookie was a bit disappointing because it was coyingly sweet. But the Apple Oatmeal was so delicious, it was moist and a good balance of sweetness. I look forward to trying more of the cookies and also get a bite to eat at the restaurant proper.

I wanted to give this less stars but, the croissant was eggcellent! The cappuccino was ok. Small…read moreand standard with lots of foam. I wasn't offered any milk or sugar and luckily I saw some sugar at the outside table but, didn't have any creamer options. There was no coffee station. I got a chocolate croissant to-go, and having been to France, it was on point. Here's the issue, and I hope the owners fix this. At 10:45am it was busy. This place is small!!!! Very French right? lol. I was patient. I waited in a long line and finally ordered with a smile. I got the croissant and cappuccino "for here" and the croissant "to go." I saw there were no open tables except for the 2 outside and today in FL, we are just coming off the freeze and it's 40 degrees out. I used the restroom and as I came back, a table was about to open. I stood at the counter and I believe the owner ( not the woman who took my order) asked me if my coffee and food was "to go." I said, " no just the croissant, my food and coffee are for here." So now by this time other people have ordered and he is just now prepping my cappuccino "for here." Now, this isn't his fault but, because of the lack of space, it creates a hostile environment. I turn around and see the long order line and a couple that stood up to leave. So I walk over to take the "now open" table and I kid you not, a woman jumped in front of me, hands out and says, " can i take this table?" She hadn't even ordered yet and had she not been so rude, I guarantee I would have been done eating by the time she even got food. She was in the back of the line. I just said, " sure" and spun on my heel and went back to the counter. Maybe I should have said "no, I was here first" but I don't like hostility. Everyone can hear and see this happening, as it's a small, quiet place. I guess when you're alone, people don't value you as a person. Same with flights and theaters. I get back to the counter, and I ask him if I should sit down ...or do I wait at the counter for my food...? And he looked at me and was like "well there aren't any tables", at that moment, another table opens up and another single woman snags it! Hasn't even ordered! Then he says, "well there's one outside." I decide to take my now delivered coffee and sit outside. It made my coffee cold almost instantly so, I grab a sugar packet, toss it in, and chug it back. I walk in, and I then say "excuse me, could you just make my order to go?" He says yes, and a few minutes later I get my order and leave. I had to drive 25 mins to get home but, I WILL say it was still good! Even the "to-go" box is plant based and biodegradable. My ADVICE!!!! And I hope you take it! Get rid of the tables. You can have 2 outside, that's fine, but you'd be better off with a bar setting with stools all around the perimeter and a coffee station for additional things like creamer, sugar and cinnamon. This needs to be more of a grab and go place and even some Starbucks locations have implemented this. Make it friendly for single people, not families. Bar seating inspires quick service. Thank you! Merci!

Wow! Talk about the hype is real...it's definitely real! Soft in the middle, crispy on the outside, loaded with a ton of chocolate chips and super thick, it is what all chocolate cookie lovers dream of. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for a sweet treat at Hollywood Studios. The Neighborhood Bakery is located in Hollywood Studios right outside Toy Story Land and near the Incredible's Celebration area. Though they have other snacks to order, their real claim-to-fame there is the Num Num Cookie. We had questionable service there, which is why I'm docking a star off. The CM seemed super annoyed and angry working. We were mutually having trouble hearing each other and she would get so visibly upset with each exchange. Luckily, the cookie saved the day or it would have been a bust! At the time of our visit, they were not taking an AP discount. Also keep in mind you will need a park reservation to Hollywood Studios to grab a snack/treat at Neighborhood Bakery.

I actually lived in Italy. I only mention it because I genuinely want to help you avoid wasting the substantial amount of money they charge for a tiramisu that definitely isn't worth it. Perhaps other cakes and pastries are better; I certainly hope so. But avoid the tiramisu! Lastly, I think it's disrespectful for a counter-service shop to ask customers for tips. There are literally millions of stores and shops where they merely hand you what you're buying and don't expect a tip. Because, let's be honest here, that's the most basic form of commerce... I pay you for something and you hand it to me. Period. You didn't even walk it out to a table, you didn't do anything else other than hand me what I paid for. That doesn't warrant a tip! How is it that millions of other shops selling millions of other products understand that yet some shops selling food related items feel entitled to a tip for merely handing you what you've bought???

On…read morethe first day back we were excited to try out some of our previous "best spots" for snacks. This was one that we had really enjoyed at EPCOT. I do understand that overtime menu items change, but would argue they should change for the better and not get worse. Our "go-to" in the past was their awesome pretzel that was a sweet pretzel with toasted almonds. This was soft and basically a perfect treat. On this visit, I was informed they no longer had it and the sweet pretzel had raisins and some chocolate drizzled on it. So, we did try it. This pretzel was a total disappointment. It was hard, almost as if it was stale and very chewy. The taste was very blah and basically not appetizing at all. We shared it and at the end felt we should have taken it back and asked for a refund. Cost was higher, for something that was kind of "bad" for Disney expectations. We did also try the school bread, which also was not great, not a soft pastry and also not fresh tasting. I don't have a comparison, as I ordered this as to try two items since I wasn't sure we would like the pretzel. The overall building was clean and there were adequate seats. Needless to say, until the previous quality returns at this location, we will look toward other venues and not visit this one again.

Although my cupcakes were delivered quickly--always a nice perk!--this came at the expense of the atmosphere, which is cold and is supported by servers who look like they're one hour away from quitting.

Although my vanilla cupcake was good, one friend got the chocolate peanut butter, which couldn't be eaten because it was so hard.
