January 2023 brings Disney Springs foodie news of special events, limited-time menu items, and so much more.

Are you hungry? Let’s go…

Gideon’s Bakehouse

Gideon’s Bakehouse is a must-stop for a Disney Springs foodie, and there are several limited items to enjoy in January that will thrill fans of cookie butter and butterscotch.

  • Cookie Butter Butterscotch Cookie: The dough includes Biscoff Cookie Butter, and is packed with premium Butterscotch Chips (not the overly sweet cheap stuff!) and crushed Biscoff Cookies. Available daily.
  • Cookie Butter Butterscotch Cold Brew: If you love the flavors in this month’s Cookie, the new Nitro Cold Brew has you covered in liquid caffeinated form! It’s also Vegan and Gluten-Free. Available daily.
  • Cookie Butter Buttercream Cake: This is a luscious Vanilla Cake covered in Cookie Butter Buttercream. Gideon says it’s simple because the buttercream might be the best thing ever, and nothing needs to distract you from it. Available today, Jan. 1, by the slice, and then every Wednesday and Saturday of January. ⁣
