September Gideon’s Bakehouse offerings bring pumpkin desserts, seasonal cold brew and Dr. Tobias Brimstone merchandise to Disney Springs.

September has arrived at Gideon’s Bakehouse, and this year’s monthly menu comes with a little more mystery than usual. The popular Disney Springs bakery has welcomed the return of an old explorer, Dr. Tobias Brimstone, who has apparently brought some unusual pumpkin-inspired flavors along for the journey. Disney Springs foodies will move from Peanut Butter Cold Brew cookies and cakes in August to something more fall.

Gideon’s Bakehouse is introducing its September 2026 limited-time offerings with the return of several pumpkin favorites, including the Pumpkin Bread Chocolate Chip Cookie, Pumpkin Caramel Double Frosted Cake, and Pumpkin Chia Nitro Cold Brew. The bakery is also putting Dr. Tobias Brimstone front and center with a collectible menu and a new selection of merchandise.

The September announcement comes with an intriguing tease for what is coming in October, when Gideon’s will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its original East End Market location. According to Gideon’s Bakehouse, a major project that has been in development throughout much of the year will be revealed as part of that celebration. For now, however, September is all about pumpkin, chocolate, caramel, coffee and one particularly adventurous fictional explorer.

September Gideon’s Bakehouse: Pumpkin Bread Chocolate Chip Cookie Returns

The star of the September menu is the Pumpkin Bread Chocolate Chip Cookie, a massive Gideon’s creation packed with fall flavors. The bakery says the mammoth cookie is made with real pumpkin and Dr. Brimstone’s Pumpkin Spice Blend, plus a smaller amount of chocolate baked into the cookie. That last detail may be particularly welcome for guests who enjoy pumpkin desserts but do not necessarily want their pumpkin spice experience overwhelmed by chocolate.

The cookie is finished with a generous topping of Pumpkin Butter Crumbs, adding another layer of pumpkin flavor and texture to an already substantial dessert. The Pumpkin Bread Chocolate Chip Cookie will be available every day throughout September at Gideon’s Bakehouse. Guests are limited to two of the limited-edition cookies per person.

As is customary with Gideon’s monthly cookies, guests should remember that limited-edition items are available while supplies last. That means waiting until later in the day to visit can come with a slight risk of discovering that the cookie you came for has already gone home with someone else.

Pumpkin Caramel Double Frosted Cake

The September cake is going all in on fall flavors. The Pumpkin Caramel Double Frosted Cake combines a Vanilla Cinnamon Swirl Cake with two substantial layers of frosting. The first is a full layer of Caramel Buttercream, while the second is a full layer of Pumpkin Cream Cheese Buttercream.

That combination should make for a considerably richer experience than your average pumpkin cake. The vanilla cinnamon cake provides the base, while caramel and pumpkin cream cheese bring two very different but complementary flavors to the dessert. Gideon’s describes the cake as both soft and crumbly, creating a texture designed to work with those generous layers of buttercream.

The cake will be available by the slice every Wednesday and Saturday throughout September. Guests can also bring home a larger cakeThere is also an option for guests who want to bring considerably more cake home. Whole Pumpkin Caramel Double Frosted Cakes can be preordered during September through Gideon’s East End Market location. That distinction is important for Disney visitors. The Disney Springs location is where many guests will encounter Gideon’s Bakehouse during a Walt Disney World vacation, but the East End Market location handles whole-cake preorders.

Pumpkin Chia Nitro Cold Brew Returns

For guests who prefer to drink their pumpkin spice rather than eat it, September brings back a familiar favorite. The Pumpkin Chia Nitro Cold Brew is returning to Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs for the month. The seasonal coffee combines Gideon’s signature nitro cold brew concept with pumpkin flavors, giving guests another way to get their annual September pumpkin fix.

The return is particularly notable because Gideon’s monthly cold brews have become nearly as anticipated as the bakery’s cookies. For visitors planning a September Gideon’s run, the Pumpkin Chia Nitro Cold Brew provides an obvious pairing for the Pumpkin Bread Chocolate Chip Cookie.

September Gideon’s Bakehouse: Meet Dr. Tobias Brimstone

The September menu is not simply about pumpkin. Gideon’s Bakehouse has built this month around Dr. Tobias Brimstone, the fictional explorer who has returned to the bakery for the first time since January 2022. According to Gideon’s, the intrepid explorer has stopped by to deliver some “otherworldly flavors” reminiscent of the Pumpkin Spice familiar to our realm. The character is also featured throughout the September collectible menu artwork.

Guests who collect Gideon’s monthly menus will want to add Dr. Tobias Brimstone to their collection this month. The character’s appearance is also being used as a small clue toward what Gideon’s has planned for October.

The bakery says there is a mystery in town and hints that Dr. Tobias might be connected to the secret. Naturally, Gideon’s is not giving away the answer just yet. Apparently, even a bakery famous for cookies knows how to keep a secret.

New Dr. Tobias Brimstone Merchandise

Gideon’s is also using the September launch to introduce a new collection of Dr. Tobias Brimstone merchandise. The new merchandise includes a Dr. Tobias Travel Stamp Sticker, Dr. Tobias Morsels Pin, Dr. Tobias Morsels Beverage Sleeve and Dr. Tobias Adventurers T-Shirt. There is also an All Hallows Scented Candle, which gives guests a preview of the Halloween season before October officially arrives.

For Gideon’s collectors, the Dr. Tobias merchandise adds another reason to visit beyond the monthly food offerings. The collectible menu, pin, sticker and beverage sleeve also fit naturally with the bakery’s ongoing tradition of creating themed artwork and merchandise around its monthly releases.

Gideon’s Bakehouse September 2026 Menu

The September lineup gives Disney Springs visitors three primary seasonal food and beverage choices to chase:

• The Pumpkin Bread Chocolate Chip Cookie is available every day in September, with a limit of two per person.
• The Pumpkin Caramel Double Frosted Cake is available by the slice on Wednesdays and Saturdays during September. Whole cakes can be preordered during the month at Gideon’s East End Market location.
• The Pumpkin Chia Nitro Cold Brew returns to Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs for September.

Together, the three offerings create a fairly traditional pumpkin spice experience, although Gideon’s takes the concept considerably further than the average coffee shop pumpkin menu.

What Guests Need to Know About Gideon’s Bakehouse

Gideon’s Bakehouse is located at Disney Springs in The Landing area, making it an easy addition to a Walt Disney World shopping or dining day. The bakery is best known for its large cookies, which are made from scratch and weigh nearly half a pound each.

The Disney Springs location does not accept advance cookie orders. Guests purchase the cookies in person, while Gideon’s East End Market location in Orlando offers preorder options for certain items, including whole cakes.

Guests should also check the availability schedule for the Pumpkin Caramel Double Frosted Cake. Unlike the monthly cookie, which is available every day in September, cake slices are offered only on Wednesdays and Saturdays. That makes checking the calendar before making a special trip particularly important.

October Is Already Looking Interesting

As impressive as the September menu may be, Gideon’s is clearly using this month to build anticipation for something much bigger. October will mark 10 years since Gideon’s original East End Market location officially opened. The bakery says it is celebrating the anniversary with a “huge project” that has been in development for much of 2026.

The September announcement offers the artwork of Dr. Tobias Brimstone as a small teaser, but Gideon’s is keeping the details secret for now. That makes the Dr. Tobias storyline more than just a theme for September’s menu. The character could potentially be connected to the larger October celebration, although Gideon’s is deliberately leaving that mystery unresolved.

For a bakery known for elaborate storytelling alongside its equally elaborate desserts, the tease feels very on-brand. For now, though, guests have an entire month of pumpkin desserts to enjoy before Gideon’s turns its attention toward October. Also, if the bakery’s warning is anything to go by, patience may indeed be rewarded.
