Gideon’s Bakehouse isn’t the only Disney Springs restaurant with monthly exclusives. Salt & Straw has limited edition flavors each month, and September is The Harvest Festival Series.
A single scoop at Salt & Straw is $6.95.
Beecher’s Flagship Cheese w/ Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls
Apple pie filling baked into ooey gooey cinnamon rolls are crumbled throughout a sweet and creamy Beecher’s Flagship Cheese ice cream
Even though the ice cream is cheese-based, it is sweet and creamy.
It’s not overly sweet, but that’s where the apple pie cinnamon roll comes in. It’s in every scoop and adds a sweet hit to the cheese ice cream.
The crumbles are chewy and not crunchy. This is one of the better flavors we’ve had at Salt & Straw.
We give this a 9/10.
Spiced Goat Cheese Pumpkin Pie
Creamy goat cheese ice cream spike with housemade pumpkin spice envelopes swirls of decadent pumpkin pie filling
Hello, Fall! You can smell the pumpkin pie spice as soon as they hand you this scoop of ice cream. It’s an overwhelming flavor but in a good way.
Pumpkin spice is the first flavor you taste with the goat cheese ice cream coming in as an aftertaste. The goat cheese ice cream is creamy and sweet.
This scoop would be perfect for thanksgiving.
We give this an 8/10.
Pinot Poached Pear Sherbert
Pears soaked in cinnamon and star anise-infused Pinot Noir, then churned into a spiced sherbet and folded with the classic Double Fold Vanilla ice cream for 50/50 flavor
The vanilla ice cream is overpowering. It masks the other flavors. You get very subtle hints of the other flavors but just barely.
We don’t taste any cinnamon, pears, or Pinot Noir. It’s mostly vanilla ice cream.
Their vanilla ice cream is delicious but we would have loved to be able to taste the pears, cinnamon, and Pinot.
We give this 5/10.
Caramel Apple Sherbert
Vanilla-infused caramel ribbons are doused throughout a crisp, simple apple juice sherbet
This one is basically apple juice in ice cream form. It’s a bit sour and a bit sweet.
The caramel ribbons are delicious and cut through the sourness of the apple juice sherbet. But we need more caramel ribbons.
If there was more caramel this would have been closer to a caramel apple.
We give this a 4/10.
Plum & Chocolate Hazelnut Shortbread (vegan)
Chocolate speckled hazelnut shortbread crumbles, and gobs of plum marmalade are swirled throughout a coconut cream ice cream
Plum is the main flavor of this. We are not getting any chocolate.
In our scoop, we got a decent amount of plum marmalade and no shortbread crumbles.
It’s tart, not sweet. This reminds us of the mixed berry Danimals smoothie. So if you love that nostalgia from elementary school, this vegan option is for you.
We give this a 6/10.

$7 for that (seemingly) small scoop of ice cream?!
