At Disney Springs, there’s a great place called Summer House on the Lake. Summer House is extremely popular and has a beach/outdoor vibe to the entire restaurant. Water is even served from coolers that sit inside the restaurant. While a lot of people want to talk about the food, I want to focus on the cookies!

Summer House is known for their cookie bar. Many people go there for the wide variety of cookies (see below) and the brown butter krispy treats are popular. But those are not gluten-free, which is disappointing. Summer House does not forget about those who do not want gluten, however.

Every day, they have some type of gluten-free dessert. On the day I went, it was their gluten and vegan chocolate chip cookie. I have to be honest, the cookies can become hard if they aren’t as fresh. On this visit, I went earlier in the day and the cookies were super fresh and delicious.

In past visits, long before I started the blog, I have visited and they have had other gluten-free options. Once they had a brownie, but that wasn’t my favorite thing I have ever had here. The brownie was very soft and had an almost overwhelming taste of fudge. It was topped with powdered sugar. While it may have not been my favorite thing, it was far from the worst gluten-free dessert I’ve had.

Summer House is a great place to go, even if just for a cookie! There’s a lot of great dining options here, which I will share more about in the future.
