Six Ravens is a quick-service restaurant in The Landing at Disney Springs, offering a darkly whimsical take on grab-and-go comfort food built around savory stuffed breads known as “Coffyns.” Created by the team behind the enormously popular Gideon’s Bakehouse, Six Ravens extends the distinctive storytelling, gothic artwork, and slightly macabre sense of humor associated with Gideon’s into an entirely new culinary concept. Rather than functioning as a second bakery, however, Six Ravens was conceived primarily as a savory restaurant, giving its creators an opportunity to showcase Central Florida chefs and food businesses while developing a menu unlike anything else at Walt Disney World.
Six Ravens began welcoming guests with a soft opening on August 3, 2026, taking over the former Art of Shaving storefront in The Landing just a short walk from Gideon’s Bakehouse. The location is intentionally small, reflecting the grab-and-go format that helped shape the concept from its earliest stages. Gideon’s founder Steve Lewis began developing the idea after the Disney Springs version of Gideon’s became an extraordinary success, but he had little interest in simply reproducing the bakery in another storefront. Instead, Six Ravens grew from the idea of using a compact space to serve substantial savory food that guests could easily carry with them through Disney Springs.
The connection between Six Ravens and Orlando’s broader culinary community is central to the restaurant’s identity. Lewis has traced part of the inspiration back to Gideon’s own early relationship with Disney Springs. Before Gideon’s had a permanent location there, its cookies appeared as a secret-menu offering at The Polite Pig, helping introduce the small Orlando bakery to a much larger audience. Six Ravens was conceived partly as a way to return that favor by placing dishes and flavors developed with other Central Florida restaurateurs in front of Disney Springs’ international audience. Among the chefs involved in developing the original menu were Eliot Hillis and Seth Parker of Red Panda Noodle, Bruno Zacchini of Pizza Bruno, and Ian Russell of Smoke & Donuts.
At the center of the menu is the Coffyn, Six Ravens’ interpretation of the historic hand pie. The deliberately archaic spelling is not simply part of the restaurant’s gothic branding: “coffin” or “coffyn” was historically used for the pastry casing surrounding pie fillings in medieval and Tudor-era cooking. Six Ravens transforms that idea into something closer to a completely enclosed sandwich, using a house-made yeast roll wrapped around a generous savory filling. The bread itself is an important part of the concept; Lewis has said the eventual approach was partly inspired by the large yeast rolls he remembered from Quincy’s Steakhouse during childhood, after early experiments using more conventional pie dough failed to produce the distinctive product he wanted.
The original lineup demonstrates how broadly the Coffyn format can be interpreted. The Peasant’s Patty contains cheeseburger ingredients with American cheese and dill pickle pieces, while The Villain of Valentina combines basil-pesto chicken, balsamic tomatoes, and garlic. The Wizard’s Wonder takes the concept in a heavier comfort-food direction with macaroni and cheese, pulled pork, pickled poblano peppers, and barbecue-seasoned crumbs. The Imperial Idol features chicken, potatoes, carrots, and coconut curry, while The Moreish Monk functions as a medievally named grilled cheese with Vermont white cheddar, Havarti, and tomato jam. The Forager’s Find provides a vegetable-forward alternative with roasted sweet potatoes, black bean and corn salsa, pepitas, and Cotija cheese. Each Coffyn is paired with a dipping sauce selected to complement its filling, reinforcing the collaborative nature of the menu.
The supporting menu is deliberately compact. Tale Teller Tatties are seasoned smashed potatoes served with honey mustard, while the restaurant’s sweeter side is represented by offerings such as The Tart’s Tempest, a chocolate-chip tart filled with rich chocolate fudge and raspberry jam. Six Ravens also developed its own draft root beer, The Friar’s Fault, with a sassafras-forward flavor and vanilla finish, alongside a selection of Florida beers and cider. The approach is noticeably different from the enormous cookies and elaborate cake slices that made Gideon’s famous, but there is enough dessert, indulgence, and theatrical presentation to make the relationship between the two concepts unmistakable.
The restaurant’s visual design pushes that connection even further. Six Ravens uses dark woods, heraldic imagery, medieval typography, crowned skulls, ravens, shields, and storybook illustrations to create what feels like a small tavern or provisions shop from an eccentric fantasy kingdom. Its shield-shaped crest depicts a crowned raven, while phrases incorporated into the windows and interior—including references to quests, kingdoms, and a mysterious “Fellowship of Six”—suggest a larger mythology behind the food. Like Gideon’s Bakehouse, the space does not merely decorate itself around a theme; it presents guests with fragments of a fictional world and lets them piece together the story.
The restaurant’s name draws directly from one of Britain’s most enduring legends. Ravens have lived at the Tower of London for centuries, and tradition holds that the kingdom will fall if the ravens ever leave the fortress. At least six are therefore traditionally maintained at the Tower. Six Ravens folds that legend into its medieval aesthetic, giving the restaurant a name that works simultaneously as historical reference, dark fantasy imagery, and a recurring visual motif. Disney itself specifically identifies the Tower of London legend as the inspiration behind the name.
Six Ravens is particularly notable within Disney Springs because it demonstrates how much the district has evolved beyond conventional shopping-center dining. Its identity is intensely specific, its menu was developed with independent Orlando culinary talent, and its storytelling exists largely outside established Disney intellectual property. It therefore feels less like a standard theme-park quick-service restaurant and more like a piece of the Central Florida food scene that happens to occupy some of Walt Disney World’s most valuable real estate.
That distinction also makes Six Ravens an important companion to Gideon’s Bakehouse. Gideon’s proved that a small local company with an unusually strong aesthetic could become one of Disney Springs’ biggest destinations; Six Ravens tests whether that success can be expanded into an entirely different style of food without simply repeating the original formula. With its medieval lore, compact from-scratch menu, Orlando collaborations, elaborate visual identity, and unusual Coffyn concept, Six Ravens has quickly established itself as one of the most distinctive additions to Disney Springs’ dining lineup.
