Gideon's Bakehouse, the cult-favorite cookie and dessert spot, is rolling out a fresh lineup for August 2026. The new offerings, revealed by WDWMagic, promise to bring a mix of seasonal flavors and inventive twists that regulars and newcomers alike won't want to miss. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s hitting the display cases this month.

New Cookie Flavors to Tempt Your Taste Buds

August brings a duo of new cookie creations that blend classic comfort with unexpected flair. The first is a Peach Cobbler Cookie, featuring a buttery brown sugar base loaded with juicy peach chunks and a cinnamon streusel topping. It’s a summertime staple reimagined as a handheld treat.

The second newcomer is a Maine Blueberry Crumb Cookie, packed with wild blueberries and a crunchy oat crumb. Both cookies are available in the signature half-pound size, perfect for sharing—or not. As with all Gideon's offerings, these are baked fresh daily and sell out fast, so early visits are recommended.

Seasonal Cakes and Pastries Join the Lineup

Beyond cookies, Gideon's is introducing a Key Lime Pie Cake that layers tangy lime curd with vanilla bean cake and a graham cracker crunch. It’s a bright, citrusy dessert that captures the essence of summer. The cake is available by the slice or as a whole cake for special occasions.

For pastry fans, the Brown Butter Banana Bread is making a return, now with a twist: a caramelized banana glaze that adds extra depth. This moist, nutty loaf is a fan favorite and pairs perfectly with their cold brew coffee. Both items are limited-edition for August, so grab them while you can.

Vegan and Allergy-Friendly Options

Gideon's continues to expand its inclusive menu. This month, they’re introducing a Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie that uses plant-based butter and a flax egg, delivering the same chewy texture without any animal products. Additionally, the Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookie returns, made with oat flour and topped with sea salt. These options ensure that everyone can indulge, regardless of dietary needs.

What Else Is New at Gideon's This August?

In addition to the food, Gideon's is debuting a new August-themed merchandise line, featuring limited-edition pins, tote bags, and a collector’s cookie tin. The tin showcases the bakery’s iconic art deco design with a summer twist. Merchandise is available in-store only, and quantities are limited.

The bakery is also extending its hours on weekends to accommodate the summer crowds. Starting August 1, the shop will open at 9 AM on Saturdays and Sundays instead of the usual 10 AM. This gives early risers a better chance to snag their favorites before they sell out. As always, guests can join the virtual queue via the Gideon's website or the My Disney Experience app when visiting the Disney Springs location.
