Six Ravens Brings Medieval Hand Pies to Disney Springs From the Gideon's Bakehouse Team
Six Ravens is a new quick service restaurant at Disney Springs from the creators of Gideon's Bakehouse, built around Coffyns: savory fillings baked inside a house made yeast roll. The menu adds potato sides with sweet heat and honey mustard dips, dessert tarts, root beer on tap and local beer. Both the name and the dish trace back to medieval England.
Six Ravens, a quick service restaurant at Disney Springs from the creators of Gideon's Bakehouse, is built around a single idea: the Coffyn, a savory filling baked fully inside a house made yeast roll. Disney has the spot listed as new, with daily hours of 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM and a short menu of hand pies, potato sides and dessert tarts.

A savory follow up from the Gideon's Bakehouse team
Disney credits Six Ravens to the creators of Gideon's Bakehouse, the Orlando bake shop whose Disney Springs location sits at The Landing. Gideon's built its following on half pound cookies, a dim nineteenth century bake shop interior and waits long enough to become part of the story guests tell afterward. Six Ravens applies the same appetite for theme to savory food, and it gives the group a second address in the district rather than a seasonal pop up.
What a Coffyn actually is
A Coffyn is closer to a hand pie than to a sandwich. The fillings are the sort you would expect between two slices of bread, but they are enclosed on all sides by a house made yeast roll, which makes the whole thing portable in a way a stacked sandwich is not. Disney says the recipes were developed with some of Central Florida's best chefs and restaurants, so the lineup draws on local kitchens instead of one in house test menu. Several varieties are offered.
Sides, sweets and something to drink
The rest of the menu is deliberately short. Potato based sides come with dips including sweet heat and honey mustard, and dessert tarts cover the sweet end. Drinks are limited to root beer on tap and local beer, which is a narrow list by Disney Springs standards and reads as a decision rather than an oversight.
Why it is called Six Ravens
The name is a nod to the Tower of London and its resident ravens, kept there under a legend that the kingdom falls if the birds ever leave. Six is the minimum the Tower keeps on hand, and that is where the restaurant gets its number.
The food history is just as literal. In medieval and Tudor English cooking, a coffyn was the pastry case that held a filling, a baked shell that worked as cookware and container at once, and the word meant a box long before it meant anything funereal. Disney notes the dish stayed popular through the early 1600s. The restaurant is taking a dish that fell out of English kitchens four centuries ago and putting it back on a counter at Disney Springs.
What this means for Disney Springs guests
Disney Dining Plan meals are not accepted at Six Ravens, so a Coffyn is an out of pocket purchase for guests on a plan. The 11:00 PM close puts it within reach of a late bite after a movie at the AMC or an evening spent walking the district, and the quick service format means no reservation to chase. Anyone who has queued for a Gideon's cookie should expect company in the opening weeks. Current items and pricing are posted on the restaurant's menu page.
