There are a lot of delicious treats in Disney World, but the ones that are secret or hard to get? Well, there’s just something that tastes better about them.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
We’ve had our fair share of secret menu drinks across the Disney Parks over the years. And, we’re pretty bad a keeping secrets so we share them ALL with you. But, it’s not just about knowing where to find these hidden eats, sometimes it’s also about WHEN you need to visit. Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs has been notorious for cooking up some hard-to-get sweets and now there’s another one that you can ONLY find on certain days!
Since opening, Gideon’s Bakehouse has served up a SUPER popular (and tasty) Coffee Cake Cookie — but, to get it, you need to visit in the morning. Well, they’ve taken it to the next level and now have a Coffee Toffee Vanilla Bean CAKE! The catch? It’s ONLY available on the weekends this month.
Coffee IN the cake.
This masterpiece is a vanilla cake flavored with coffee grounds and a toffee buttercream with toffee pieces. Yes, coffee grounds IN A CAKE. And, we’ve got to say — it’s GOOD!
Often, Gideon’s cakes tend to be VERY sweet because of the huge blocks of frosting they stuff inside, but we thought that this one has a good balance of sweetness between the vanilla cake and the toffee buttercream. And, that coffee flavor sure does come through with each bite.
Toffee Coffee Cake
The buttercream also has a hint of that coffee taste, which keeps the sweetness of the frosting balanced. We also liked the crunchy Toffee Pieces on the top. Kids might not like this one as much because of the complex mix of flavors, but most adults who like toffee and vanilla flavors will likely enjoy it as much as we did (so feel free to keep it all to yourself!).
Let’s dig in!
This whopping slice of cake costs $9, but, remember — you have to visit on a weekend in March to pick this up! And, we’ll keep trying ALL the new food at Disney World, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more reviews!

My favorite thing to get at Gideons is their black coffee! That’s some of the best black coffee in any of the WDW parks. I don’t put anything in my coffee; just strong black, so flavored coffee might be good somewhere else. But I don’t know
