flavors — it ’ s a win-win . All the cookies we enjoyed were delicious , but there are always standouts and personal favorites .
The Coffee Cake cookie is uniquely available at the Disney Springs location every morning ( Gideon ’ s routinely sells out of flavors during the day , so keep that in mind when you plan to visit ). This cookie was my top pick .
Just read the menu description for this cookie and try not to drool : “ Our crazypopular Coffee Cake Cookie is an extra Buttery Vanilla Bean Cookie filled with Cinnamon Strudel and topped with our Homemade Double Baked Butter Crumbs ! Buttery . Crunchy . Extraordinary . Built to be paired with the Gideon ’ s Ginger Snap Cold Brew . This flavor is available every morning until sell out , only at Gideon ’ s at Disney Springs !”
We paired this fan-favorite cookie with another crowd-pleasing classic , the Original Peanut Butter Cold Brew ( Oat Milk Cold Brew with a unique dark roasted peanut blend , sweetened with maple syrup ) into what can only be described as the most decadent morning combo ever . The peanut butter cold brew is a wonderful treat all on its own but offers a great palate cleanse and strong coffee flavor in between bites of buttery cookie goodness .
Other cookie and cake flavors regularly rotate , so there are always some unique options from which to choose . During our visit , the limited edition flavors highlighted the pairing of chocolate and orange , a classic flavor combo that always feels festive to me . The candied orange
HOW TO GET THESE COOKIES Gideon ’ s cookies are a sensation and draw huge crowds . To keep the walkways at Disney Springs clear and make sure you can enjoy the many other amenities available instead of spending all day in line , Gideon ’ s has introduced a virtual queue .
Here ’ s how it works :
• You must sign up in-person .
• Look for Gideon ’ s staff and signage indicating the virtual queue .
• Provide a 10-digit US-based phone number .
• Wait for a text with a return time .
• Come back and join the standby queue ( the wait should be minimal at this point ).
• Head inside the shop and order your treats .
• There is a limit of six cookies per customer .
peel offered a bright citrus note to the deeply chocolatey cookie , and we were able to enjoy this flavor pairing in both cake and cookie form .
I was much more interested in the decadent red velvet cake , a favorite
