Gideon's

Is there ever not a line at Gideon's?

No. Well, when it's closed. Never a line at the downtown Orlando location.

I've noticed over the past few months that there is often no virtual queue (I've even seen this on Saturday nights) but you still have to wait in line. The wait is about 20-30 minutes.

We went on a Saturday morning towards the end of this September (got there at about 10:25am) and there was a 3 hour virtual queue. And it was a 3 hour wait. We had left (forgot about the queue) and I got a text about 3 hours and 15 minutes later that it was our turn to return. Weekdays (yes, we went a lot, 2X during the week - had orders from home to fulfill) it was only a 20-30 minute wait.

We did a resort only stay at Saratoga Springs one time and headed to Gideon's in the morning a couple of times because we like the PB Cold Brew. One of the mornings we went right after a run and got there earlier then we realized, and at 9:15 AM there was already line We were about 30-40 people back (they ended up opening the doors at 9:50). This was back in May 2021 so it was a less crowded time with the pandemic but I think Gideon's was still newish. God I enjoy that coffee though!

As a PP said, the only sure bet is to make the trek to the original location in Baldwin Park.

I experienced it once. Went on a Thursday(?) night around dinnertime in September. There was no virtual queue and a very short line-I was in and out in ten minutes. But that's really rare.

We have seen “shorter” lines on occasion in the evenings during the week sometimes. However, you are most likely going to wait no matter when you go. We exited Raglan Road once and the line was not bad, probably because it was raining (not heavily) on and off. But it was still about a 25 minute wait.

It was a short wait at DS on an early weekday evening when it was pouring rain. Only time I have seen it!

We went to the East End Market location last month and the line was out the door and wrapped all the way around the building so that’s no guarantee either. We had pre-ordered, luckily for us.

We walked right in (no wait) at about 11am the last Wednesday of August this year. I think it was the day the hurricane was supposed to hit, so many people had delayed or cancelled their travel plans. Anyways, we lucked out.
