Those 21 and over can also enjoy the limited time Bee’s Harvest Margarita, created in partnership with PATRÓN and featuring agave – one of more than 180,000 different plant species and over 1,200 crops that are supported by pollinators.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
Gideon’s Bakehouse is a must-stop for a Disney Springs foodie, and there are several limited items to enjoy in April:
- Coffee Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie is the flavor of the month. It features a vanilla-based cookie filled and topped with freshly ground espresso beans, and complimented with Toffee (for a sweet crunch), Dark Chocolates (for richness), and a sprinkling of sea salt. Available daily. Limit 2 per person.
- Coffee Toffee Vanilla Bean Cake is available every Wednesday and Saturday. It features three layers of a Vanilla Coffee Bean Cake smothered in Gideon’s signature thick layers of Coffee Buttercream, and filled with Crunchy Toffee Pieces. Limit 2 slices per person.
- Salted Caramel Nitro Cold Brew, a foodie favorite, returns for April. It is 100% housemade, and it is also Vegan and Gluten-Free.
Paddlefish
Savor Easter dinner with your family on Paddlefish’s amazing rooftop. This year the restaurant is offering a delectable Braised Lamb Shank with savory Cheddar Grits special ($39) for guests to enjoy for the holiday. Complement the meal by pairing it with a bottle of Malbec “Zuccardi” ($40).
This is in addition to the regular Sunday brunch menu. Reservations are a must.
Salt & Straw
The limited ice cream flavors for April 2023 at Salt & Straw are part of the “The Vault Series.” The series features five iconic flavors that are no longer on the regular menu.
These flavors are:
- Black Olive Brittle & Goat Cheese – Shards of sweet-but-salty butter brittle made from cured black olives are mixed into an ultra-creamy cave-aged goat cheese ice cream created with Cypress Grove Creamery. It’s a favorite among foodies like celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern.
- Honey Marshmallow Rocky Road – Fresh Jacobsen honey is cooked down and whipped into gobs of pillowy marshmallow, then gently folded into chocolate ice cream spiced with cinnamon and ancho chili. Hazelnuts candied in a sugary, shattery glaze are then studded throughout.
- Mango Habanero IPA Sorbet (vegan) – This sorbet features Laces IPA from Wynwood Brewing (Miami’s first craft brewery) spun until frozen, spiced with fresh habanero, and cooled off with mangoes and citrus.
- Strawberry Cilantro Lime Cheesecake – A toasty graham cracker crust is folded into a delicate strawberry ice cream, then adorned with a ribbon of cilantro lime cheesecake for a zesty finish.
- Sweet Corn & Waffle Cones – Fresh golden corn is torched until charred and roasty, then tossed into a corn flavored ice cream wrapped in ribbons of brown butter caramel. Bite-sized bits of chocolate-covered waffle cone add a sweet crunch to this delightfully buttery, unexpectedly cozy ice cream.
Sprinkles
The bakery is offering several limited cupcake flavors throughout April 2023. Here are some of the flavors:
- Through April 9: Chocolate Bunny – Dark chocolate cake filled with chocolate ganache, topped with chocolate cream cheese frosting and finished with a ladle of decadent chocolate ganache.
- Through April 9: Easter Fancy Sprinkle – A red velvet cake topped with cream cheese frosting and finished with exclusive Easter sprinkles by Fancy Sprinkles.
- Through April 16: Berries & Cream – A pie crust lined blueberry studded vanilla cake cored and filled with blueberry pie filling, then frosted with vanilla buttercream and finished with lilac sugar crystals.
- April 17 – May 14: Vietnamese Coffee – Vietnamese coffee cake made with Nguyen Coffee Supply Loyalty Coffee, filled with a condensed milk butter cream, and finished with coffee frosting.
Terralina Crafted Italian
This year’s Easter special for the Disney Springs foodie showcases Grilled Lamb Chops with roasted butternut squash, sautéed spinach, sun dried cranberries, and an herb-mint gremolata ($36). Sip on a Crafted Lemonade, with rosemary lavender vodka, honey lemonade, and celery bitters ($14), or indulge in the Whimsical White Chocolate Mousse, with cotton candy and gold dust.
This is in addition to the regular Sunday brunch menu. Reservations are a must.
The restaurant is also hosting its Kids Cooking Class series this month on Saturday, April 15 from 11am to noon. The class is designed for kids ages 5-12 and space is limited to 25 kids per class.
Led by Executive Chef Justin Plank, kids will learn how to create a pizza, and in addition to making their meal, each aspiring chef will also receive a drink and sundae to enjoy during class, and a gift bag that includes an apron and chef hat to commemorate the experience.
Tickets are $30.00 per child (age 5-12). All children must be accompanied by an adult. Purchase tickets online at Eventbrite.

Through the end of April, Disney Springs foodies can enjoy the following Easter treats:
- Brownie Bunny Gelato Shake

Wish you had said more about Gideon’s for making it your headline.
