Gideon's Bakehouse Just Dropped HUGE News About a New Disney Springs Restaurant
If you thought Gideon’s Bakehouse couldn’t get any better at Disney Springs, prepare to be amazed. The beloved bakery just announced something that’s about to completely change your Disney dining game—and it’s not what you’d expect.
On January 16, 2026, Gideon’s Bakehouse revealed plans for a brand-new dining concept called Six Ravens, marking the bakery’s 5th anniversary at Disney Springs. But here’s the twist: this isn’t another sweet shop. According to WDW News Today, Six Ravens will focus entirely on savory offerings, a dramatic departure from the decadent cookies and cakes that made Gideon’s famous.
What Exactly Is Six Ravens?
Six Ravens will specialize in grab-and-go hand pies called “coffyns”—fluffy yeast rolls stuffed with a variety of savory fillings. The name isn’t random either. “The Six Ravens” character first appeared on Gideon’s bill of fare back in November 2023 and has since become a collectible item among fans. Now, this mysterious raven is getting its own dedicated location.
The new concept will open in the building previously occupied by The Art of Shaving, conveniently located just a few doors down from Gideon’s Bakehouse in The Landing area of Disney Springs. Owner Steve Lewis told media outlets he hopes to have Six Ravens open by Summer 2026.
Local Collaboration and Menu Offerings
What makes this announcement even more exciting is Lewis’s commitment to collaboration with Central Florida’s culinary community. He’s partnering with respected local chefs including Eliot Hillis and Seth Parker of Red Panda Noodle, plus Bruno Zacchini of Pizza Bruno, to create the hand pie offerings.
The menu will extend beyond just coffyns. Six Ravens will also feature gourmet potatoes, local draft beer, and desserts—creating a full savory dining experience that complements rather than competes with its sweet sibling next door.
Why This Matters for Disney Dining
This announcement represents a significant evolution in Disney Springs’ dining landscape. Gideon’s Bakehouse has become one of the most popular destinations at Disney Springs since opening five years ago, with guests regularly waiting hours for those massive cookies. The bakery has cultivated a devoted following through quality ingredients, creative theming, and exceptional execution.
By expanding into savory territory with Six Ravens, Lewis is betting that Disney guests want more than just desserts from the Gideon’s team. The focus on grab-and-go hand pies also fills a specific niche at Disney Springs—quality, portable food that’s a step above typical quick service but doesn’t require a table service reservation.
The timing is strategic too. Summer 2026 falls right in the middle of Disney World’s busy vacation season, when families are looking for convenient, high-quality dining options that don’t eat up precious park time.
What We’re Watching
Several questions remain as we await the Summer 2026 opening. Will Six Ravens adopt the same theatrical, gothic aesthetic that makes Gideon’s Bakehouse so Instagram-worthy? How will pricing compare to other quick service options at Disney Springs? And most importantly—will Six Ravens require the same lengthy waits that have become synonymous with its sister location?
One thing seems certain: if Six Ravens delivers the same attention to detail and quality that Gideon’s Bakehouse is known for, it’s going to be another must-visit destination at Disney Springs. The combination of artisan hand pies, local collaborations, and the Gideon’s brand behind it creates a compelling proposition for Disney dining fans.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on construction progress and menu announcements as we get closer to that Summer 2026 opening. If you’re planning a Disney World trip in the second half of 2026, Six Ravens might just become your new favorite quick bite at Disney Springs.
