Bold truth: a new Gothic facade signals Gideon’s Bakehouse is expanding its reach with a Six Ravens savory outpost at Disney Springs. And the details are shaping up, right down to the materials and color choices.
What’s happened so far
- On February 26, 2026, during a visit to Disney Springs, observers spotted the first Gothic exterior work on Gideon’s forthcoming Six Ravens savory location.
- The former Art of Shaving storefront has been reimagined with dark wood elements and distressed trim, signaling a dramatic departure from its previous look.
Facade evolution
- Previously, the building featured beige and cream walls with gray window and roof trim, along with gray and red accents on the windows and doors.
- The current exterior showcases gray wood panels across the front, with distressed wood trim prominent along the top edges. The wood detailing continues down the sides, and the awnings carry the distressed trim. For now, the windows and doors remain painted red.
- Rolling planters that were noted outside the future eatery continue to block the entrance, contributing to the ongoing transition phase.
About Six Ravens by Gideon’s Bakehouse
- On January 16, 2026 — the five-year anniversary of Gideon’s at Disney Springs — the brand announced a new savory location would occupy the former Art of Shaving space.
- Disney filed a permit for the project on Gideon’s Bakehouse owner Steve Lewis’s behalf, and Gideon’s-style artwork began appearing in the windows as a teaser for the reopening.
- The menu is set to feature Coffyns (Gideon’s term for their hand pies made from fluffy yeast bread), along with potatoes, local draft beer, and desserts.
What this means for guests
- The Six Ravens concept indicates Gideon’s intention to expand beyond sweet treats, offering savory options that complement their existing baked goods.
- The Gothic, wood-heavy exterior suggests a moody, medieval-inspired atmosphere that aims to differentiate the new location within Disney Springs.
Controversy and conversation
- Some guests might question whether a savory concept will resonate with Gideon’s established fan base, which is traditionally strong on sweets. Others may argue the bold exterior helps the location stand out in a crowded retail and dining district.
