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.

I went to Salt & Straw expecting "just ice cream" and instead got a full-blown personality…read moreexperience in a cone. First of all, the flavors read like someone dared a chef to turn a farmer's market, a cocktail bar, and a childhood memory into dessert--and somehow it works. I sampled things I cannot pronounce, things I would normally avoid, and at least one flavor that sounded like it belonged in a Thanksgiving side dish. Every single one made me pause mid-bite like, "Wait... why is this actually amazing?" The staff? Unreasonably patient. I asked for so many samples I started to feel like I was conducting a scientific study. Not once did they judge me. If anything, they enabled me. What I appreciate most is that it's not just gimmicky weirdness--there's actual thought behind every flavor. You can taste the intention, the creativity, and possibly a little chaos. Final verdict: Salt & Straw is what happens when ice cream stops playing it safe, goes to art school, and comes back with bold ideas and great taste. Come curious, leave slightly confused but very happy.

FOOD We tried: - Sea…read moresalt with caramel ribbons: creamy, the perfect ratio of sweet and salty - Cinnamon snickerdoodle: well-spiced, not too sweet - Olive oil: surprising favorite; not too sweet, deep flavor - Tres leches: not too sweet, espresso wasn't overpowering Every flavor we taste tested and had was incredible. I only wish there was a location closer to me to visit more often and try other flavors, but maybe that is a good thing. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! We took a bit to sample some flavors, and they were very patient. AMBIANCE No seating is available inside the store, but seating is available throughout Disney Springs and many guests ate ice cream as they walked around.

I finally got a chance to try a cookie (actually two) last night after our movie. I'm surprised…read morethis is the first time we stopped by since we are locals and like watch movies at Disney Springs. 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 don't understand why someone who is on vacation would wait over 60 minutes for a cookie? Trust…read moreme, I've done it! In all honesty, The Cookie Bar at Summer House has been consistent. Their baked goods slay and IMHO, better than the cookies you need to wait in the sun while on vacation. No bueno, are you feelin' me Yelper? We're always looking forward to having a cup of their delicious coffee and rotating cookie choices. There's no need to wait in line for hours for a superior cookie, Summer House will have you out the door with your baked items in five minutes. Last time we were at Disney Springs, I loved sitting outside with my coffee and well crafted, Sea Salt Chocolate Chip cookie. Did I just describe heaven? Nah, just being on vacation at the happiest place on earth.

Every time we visit Orlando, a stop at Amorette's Patisserie is a must…read more Located in Disney Springs, this charming bakery is known for its beautifully crafted desserts... truly works of art. There's almost always a line, but it moves fairly quickly, and honestly, it's part of the experience. You can watch the bakers adding the final, intricate touches to each dessert while you wait, which is really fun to see. They do offer a small selection of croissant sandwiches and specialty beverages, but for us, it's all about the desserts. From their signature creations to seasonal offerings, everything is visually stunning and (most of the time) absolutely delicious. That said, while most items are fresh and flavorful, we have experienced a few cakes that were a bit dry and seemed over baked. It's not the norm, but worth mentioning. Anyone else experience this? Yes, it's a little pricey--but it's Disney, and you're paying for both the quality and the experience. Overall, it's still one of our favorite stops every trip and well worth it if you're in the area.

If you haven't been here, this is located near the Orange garage across from the bowling alley 10/10 Service this evening was quick and efficient. I definitely recommend coming here if you like donuts; however, they have oodles of coffee and refresher options instead.

The ice cream is quality Blue Bell brand which already told me the ice cream is great. I will say that the shakes and a decent size and could be shared with a friend or family member as they are exploding with sweetness. I really enjoyed the Hot Fudge Nachos as it was a fun spin on a hot fudge sundae. This is definitely an experience I recommend! There is plenty of indoor seating, two large sinks in the back of the dining room to wash out your souvenir mason jars, colorful murals on the walls, friendly and welcoming staff. Menu board, handheld menus and a photo menu book to look at to help you make your decision. You do t have to get the souvenir mason jars with your shakes but they are cute if you want them.

I had in mind grabbing a quick scoop and going, but instead we sat a booth and took in the ambience. The interior is quite attractive and themed to sweets. The restaurant was clean. The booth where we sat was clean. Overall, a good impression. Our server Olivia appeared immediately, before we had fully taken in the menu actually, but she was patient and returned later. Because we just had eaten a big meal we really did not want a lot so the kid and I opted for a scoop of their speciality ice cream and the wife had a piece of pie with no ice cream. Everything was very tasty and hit the spot. Ice cream was good quality and creamy. The wife liked the apple pie. My only criticism and the reason for 4 stars is pricing. It is quite expensive. Our scoops were $11.50 each and the wife's piece of pie was $16.50. Total for the light dessert we thought we would get was $59 after tax and tip.

Surprisingly the line went by pretty fast. Our cashier wasn't friendly and had the attitude that she hates her job but she got our order placed. We ordered a Peppermint Hot Fudge Sundae and a Peppermint Hot Cocoa. The sundae was sooooo good! The fudge was thick and tasted of quality, I loved that they had tiny little chocolate chips with crushed peppermint pieces. All the little pieces added perfect texture to the sundae. The hot cocoa was smooth and rich and even with adding my peppermint bark square into the cup. The only negative is that these two items cost $32. Were they delicious? Absolutely but I'll probably only go to splurge once in a while.
