Will Six Ravens Disney Springs live up to the hype? The Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse team is back with a savory spin, including a medieval Coffyn menu, craft drink pairings and spooky lore. <\/p>\n

When Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse first opened at Disney Springs<\/a> in December 2020, it was a genuine surprise. This small, locally owned, gothic-themed bakery with serious craft ambitions somehow \u201cout-immersed\u201d half the restaurants at Walt Disney World. <\/p>\n

Now, on the fifth anniversary of that opening<\/a>, the team announced it is swinging big again. Six Ravens, their new savory concept, arrives this summer in the former Art of Shaving space at The Landing.<\/p>\n

The question isn\u2019t whether it\u2019ll generate buzz. With the Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse<\/a> name attached, that\u2019s a given. The real question is whether it\u2019s worth prioritizing. \u00a0Should this place be a priority during your next Walt Disney World visit? Will it be worth the wait for your group?<\/p>\n

What Is Six Ravens at Disney Springs?<\/p>\n

Six Ravens isn\u2019t a third Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse location (the original is at East End Market, not far from downtown Orlando). According to Walt Disney World\u2019s official listing<\/a>, it\u2019s a fully realized new concept with its own identity, themed menu and cast of collaborators. Guests can think of it as the \u201csavory story counterpart\u201d to the bakery\u2019s sugar-and-spice world.<\/p>\n

At its core, Six Ravens Disney Springs specializes in something called a Coffyn. For the record, the spelling is intentional. The name is borrowed from the original medieval te<\/a>r<\/a>m<\/a> for a pastry: a house-made yeast roll that fully encloses savory fillings, historically designed to preserve hearty meals during long pilgrimages. <\/p>\n

The Coffyn\u2019s fillings were developed in collaboration with Central Florida chefs and local restaurant partners, continuing the community-minded spirit that Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse owner Steve Lewis has consistently championed.<\/p>\n

Beyond the signature Coffyns, the menu also includes smashed potatoes served with dipping sauces (sweet heat and homemade honey mustard), dessert tarts, root beer on tap, and local drafts crafted with Orlando partners, including Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Decor and design<\/p>\n

The theming for Six Ravens Disney Springs has been described as dark and gothic, maintaining aesthetic continuity with Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse. Of course, Six Ravens will carve its own identity too. <\/p>\n

Art Director Michael Reyes<\/a> is leading the visual identity, and the lore centers on a mysterious, cloaked woman who can transform into a raven. This character can be found in Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse lore in collector cards starting in November 2023.<\/p>\n

Legend of ravens in London<\/p>\n

Additionally, the name Six Ravens is inspired by the legendary ravens of the Tower of London. According to a famous historical superstition<\/a>, at least six ravens must remain at the fortress at all times. If they ever leave, the crown and the Tower of London will fall. Today, a dedicated official known as the Ravenmaster cares for these highly intelligent birds.<\/p>\n

Visitors from around the world gather to watch them explore the grassy lawns. Each raven has a distinct personality and is given a colored identification band. These majestic ravens remain a living, breathing symbol of British history, blending ancient myth with the modern identity of the royal palace. Six Ravens Disney Springs will play into this legend.<\/p>\n

A local favorite becomes a Disney Springs icon<\/p>\n

To understand Six Ravens, you have to understand what Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse has already accomplished. When the bakery opened at Disney Springs, it was one of the most atmospherically ambitious dining locations in all of Walt Disney World.<\/p>\n

The exterior, weathered brickwork, wrought-iron accents, stone gargoyles, and flickering lanterns start the theming process. However, inside Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse, guests experience a theme that is part-horror, part-classic bookstore. Guests have called it a \u201cTim Burton meets vintage apothecary\u201d aesthetic.<\/p>\n

\"Gideon's<\/p>\n

The lore is woven into the merchandise, the staff\u2019s language and even the collector cards. Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse has become a community and culture all of its own. It\u2019s also special because Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse has an original location in a popular Orlando neighborhood, which still operates today. <\/p>\n

Six Ravens inherits all of that goodwill. Steve Lewis, the owner and \u201csublime prince of the esoteric order of cookie,\u201d built something rare with Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse. <\/p>\n

Worth the hype?<\/p>\n

Like anything new, this business venture possesses many risks. Sure, the current local Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse fans will be drawn to Six Ravens when it opens in Summer 2026. We have been at Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse at \u201crope-drop\u201d to join a crowd of people to purchase the latest merchandise or limited-time offerings. <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Still, people walk by the extended queue outside Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse, saying that they cannot believe people wait that long for a cookie. Nonetheless, the core Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse community members shrug off those comments.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Six Ravens has a more complex proposition. It\u2019s asking guests to try a new format (hand pies), trust a medieval concept name (Coffyns), and add it to a Disney Springs visit that already has plenty of competition. That\u2019s a harder sell, even from a trusted team.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere<\/p>\n

The Six Ravens Disney Springs building is small. It\u2019s moving into the former Art of Shaving space, a compact retail footprint. This means a less spacious kitchen and not much space for guests to move around.<\/p>\n

\"Moody<\/p>\n

Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse isn\u2019t large either, yet it created one of the most memorable interior experiences at Disney Springs. The team clearly knows how to maximize a small footprint with elements like tilting bookshelves, flickering Victorian lanterns, spirit portraits, and dim red lighting. If Six Ravens\u2019 art direction receives even half that level of care, the space will pull its weight.<\/p>\n

The food concept is understandable. The lore foundation is there. The team\u2019s track record warrants trust. However, it might be the one thing that will determine whether Six Ravens becomes a destination or just another snack stop.<\/p>\n

Value and pricing: What should you budget?<\/p>\n

No pricing has been officially published as of this writing, so any number we provide would be speculative. However, context helps. Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse charges around $7 per half-pound cookie and $11 per slice of cake. Those prices are considered fair given the portion size and craft quality.<\/p>\n

\"Frankenstein<\/p>\n

Based on the limited-time hand pies sold periodically at Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse, guests can speculate that the Coffyns will cost around $9- $14. The price should vary depending on the fillings. That price point should be competitive with comparable grab-and-go options at Disney Springs.<\/p>\n

Local craft brews will likely run $8\u201313 per pour. A Coffyn, a drink, and some smashed potatoes could realistically cost around $25\u201335 before tax for one person.<\/p>\n

We do not anticipate Six Ravens being a part of the Disney Dining Plan. This means guests with pre-paid credits will not be able to use them at Six Ravens. Of course, the lack of Disney Dining Plan participation does not seem to hinder Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse.<\/p>\n

How does Six Ravens compare to other Disney Springs dining locations?<\/p>\n

Disney Springs offers so many places to eat and drink. Six Ravens is entering a field with some strong competition. How does Six Ravens match up against comparable places?<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

The Edison<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This steampunk-industrial speakeasy offers a serious bar program and some late-night entertainment. Sure, it is sit-down dining with a higher price point. However, it will be only a few steps away from the Six Ravens location. The Edison<\/a> works as more of a full-evening destination. Six Ravens is the casual gothic alternative for those who want a dark atmosphere without committing to a table.<\/p>\n

Jock Lindsey\u2019s Hangar Bar<\/p>\n

\"Exterior<\/p>\n

Just a short walk away from Six Ravens Disney Springs, guests can find the Indiana Jones-themed lounge, Jock Lindsey\u2019s Hangar Bar<\/a>. It offers strong theming, genuine Indiana Jones decoration, and a relaxed indoor\/outdoor atmosphere. It skews more heavily toward drinks than toward food. Also, it is not \u201cspeedy\u201d service and lacks a true grab-and-go option.<\/p>\n

Pizza Ponte<\/p>\n

In the quick-service landscape at Disney Springs, Six Ravens and Pizza Ponte<\/a> offer distinct approaches to fast, casual dining, each targeting a different type of theme park guest.<\/p>\n

Pizza Ponte has established itself as a reliable staple at Disney Springs by serving familiar, universally loved Italian comfort food. Operating with a high-capacity, assembly-line counter service, it efficiently dishes out massive Sicilian square slices, panini, and espresso. It\u2019s a budget-friendly meal without any surprises. Yes, you can purchase an adult beverage at Pizza Ponte to go with your food.<\/p>\n

Will Six Ravens be able to provide hungry Disney Springs guests with the \u201cCoffyns\u201d quickly enough compared to Pizza Ponte? That query cannot be answered until we see Six Ravens in operation for a little while.<\/p>\n

Can Six Ravens Disney Springs become a cult favorite?<\/p>\n

Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse didn\u2019t become a cult favorite because Walt Disney World made it one. It became a cult favorite because Steve Lewis built something obsessively good and then let the community find it. Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse at Disney Springs (and the East End Orlando location) hasn\u2019t lost its local touch. <\/p>\n

\"Gideon'sPhoto by Jon Self<\/p>\n

The owner, Steve Lewis, still personally manages social media and responds to comments.<\/p>\n

The Coffyn concept\u2019s historical roots are genuinely interesting. Additionally, the collaboration with The Ravenous Pig, one of Orlando\u2019s most respected culinary institutions, signals that Lewis isn\u2019t cutting corners.<\/p>\n

Final destination<\/p>\n

Six Ravens Disney Springs enters the Walt Disney World dining scene with more momentum than almost any new concept in recent memory. It will be thematic without requiring a reservation, and adult-leaning without being exclusionary.<\/p>\n

If Gideon\u2019s Bakehouse team maintains their standards in a savory format, this could be the most significant addition to Disney Springs dining in years. Either way, the hype for this new concept is real.<\/p>\n
