Description

Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey welcome Steve Lewis, the founder of Gideon’s Bakehouse, for a deliciously detailed conversation about how a dark, whimsical cookie shop became one of the most sought-after stops at Disney Springs. From his early days as a musician and comic shop owner to perfecting a cookie recipe over 15 years, Steve shares the creative, emotional, and business journey behind Florida’s favorite bakery.




  • The music major turned baker who built Gideon’s from scratch—literally




  • How a secret cookie deal at Polite Pig helped land a spot at Disney Springs




  • The role of community, storytelling, and heartbreak in shaping the brand




  • Why you’ll never see Gideon’s cookies shipped or wholesaled




  • The Edward Gorey-inspired art behind the eerie, yet inviting design




  • What’s next for Steve, his characters, and maybe even a lemon-orange love story
