Where to Find Disney Springs’ Best Bakery Treats

Published June 11, 2026 · Updated September 9, 2026

Quick-service sweet spots at Disney Springs – you’ve got five bakeries within a half-mile, but only a few minutes to spare. Below is the skinny on each shop, the standout pastry you shouldn’t miss, and the exact move that lets you grab it without losing your lunch reservation.

Amorette’s Patisserie – Town Center

Quick Service · $ – Rating 4.6/5 Signature: Mini Christmas Croquembouche (a tower of caramelized profiteroles).
Insider tip: Arrive the minute the doors open (usually 9 AM). The croquembouche sells out in the first hour, and the shop has limited seating, so order to-go and stash it in a cooler bag for a later snack. What to know: The bakery leans heavily on take-away, so expect a short line but a quick exit.

Gideon’s Bakehouse – The Landing

Quick Service · $ – Rating 4.6/5 Signature: ½-pound Original Chocolate Chip Cookie (vanilla-bean infused, loaded with chips).
Insider tip: Open the Disney app before you hit the parking garage. Gideon’s runs a virtual queue that opens around 7 AM; jump in as soon as it appears. You’ll shave 5-10 minutes off the physical wait, and you can lock in a single-serve cookie for curbside pickup.
What to know: The line often starts forming before the shop opens at 10 AM—guests line up as early as 9 AM when the garages open. If you miss the virtual queue, be prepared for a physical line that can stretch out the door, especially during new-item drops.

Snack · $ Signature: Giant Cinnamon Roll ($17.95) – big enough for three adults.
Insider tip: No reservation required, but pair the roll with a cookie from the adjacent Cookie Bar for a shareable snack. The Cookie Bar is a grab-and-go market, so you can pop in, pick a warm cookie, and head back to your table without a wait. What to know: It sits inside a table-service restaurant, but you don’t need a table to order.

Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC – Marketplace

Snack · $ Signature: Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free Lemon-Poppyseed Muffin (all-diet friendly).
Insider tip: There’s no seating, so order a to-go box and stroll the Marketplace. The entire menu is vegan and free of the top four allergens, making it the only truly inclusive bakery in Disney Springs. What to know: Because there’s no place to sit, expect a quick turnover and a steady stream of guests grabbing a snack on the move.

Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew – West Side

Snack · $ Signature: Oversized topped donuts (think “Burger Donut” when it appears).
Insider tip: Ask about the off-menu grilled cheese—staff will bring it out if the kitchen is busy. The Burger Donut shows up intermittently; when you see it, order early because the line builds fast. What to know: The shop is independently operated and still relatively new, so the menu can shift; keep an eye on the daily board.

How to pick the right bakery for your day

Speed-first: If you’re on a tight schedule, target Amorette’s (early opening) or Gideon’s (virtual queue). Both let you order ahead and walk out in under ten minutes.
Shareable treat: The Giant Cinnamon Roll at The Cookie Bar is pricey but feeds a small group, making it a good anchor for a sit-down lunch at Summer House.
Diet-specific: Erin McKenna’s is the only all-vegan, allergen-free spot—perfect for anyone with restrictions.
Novelty hunt: Gideon’s monthly limited-time cookies (e.g., Banana Box Pie Cookie in January, Chocolate Mousse Cookie Butter Delight on Oct 28-29) are tiny-batch and sell out fast. Mark the release date on your calendar and be ready for the virtual queue.

Timing cheat sheet (all times are local)

Bakery	Best arrival window	Queue hack
Amorette’s	Opening 9:00 AM	No queue, just grab-and-go
Gideon’s	Virtual queue opens 7:00 AM; physical line builds 9:00 AM	Use Disney app to lock a slot; order single-serve cookie for curbside pickup
The Cookie Bar	Anytime after 10:00 AM (inside Summer House)	No reservation, walk-in only
Erin McKenna’s	Mid-morning (10-11 AM) when other bakeries are busy	No seating, so flow is fast
Everglazed Donuts	Early afternoon (1-2 PM) after lunch crowd eases	Ask for off-menu grilled cheese, watch for Burger Donut drop

Bottom line

You don’t need to wander Disney Springs aimlessly to find a great pastry. Arrive early at Amorette’s for the croquembouche, jump the Gideon’s virtual queue for the half-pound cookie, grab a shareable cinnamon roll at The Cookie Bar, and keep an eye on limited-time drops at Gideon’s if you love the hunt. Knowing when each shop peaks and which hidden menu items exist lets you snack strategically and keep the rest of your day on track.
