    Friendly. Modest. Cozy. Came here for "Pressed Fest" mid-October and surprised to find this little gem of the local community, attached to the Shamrock Grove motel with a cozy, fun vibe equipped with everything from s'mores kits, fire pits, and local honey and cider donuts. Skip the corporate cider also-rans: this is what NH small biz is all about. Cider was tasty, service helpful, and the outside community bustling with folks who seemed to know each other well (always a good sign). Fall 2023 cider lineup covered everything from sweet candy apple to dry "bonez" variant to (my fave) a classic New England Hazy Cider that's just the right balance of sweet and sour to meet most mouth's apple appetites. Come check this place, you might just be surprised at the flavor you find over the hills and not so far away.

    Fun to visit the goats!

    Great ciders and great people! Best cider is Baked Apple Crisp. The Hopped Blueberry was a great option for a beer drinker.

    We stayed in the motel on the property and ended up taking a bottle of hazy cider with us to have with a quick dinner.

It was very crowded when we arrived but they had ample parking without any issue finding a spot. We each ordered a flight of ciders so we had about 8 different ciders to try. We loved them all. My favorite was the blueberry, you could actually taste the fruit and it wasn't super sweet which I loved. They had some indoor seating and out door seating with picnic tables. They only had a select few of umbrellas, out biggest complaint was we wish they had more because we were baking in the sun. They have a couple of port-a-potties to use and a watercooler and cups. The view of the mountain ranges was amazing and beautiful. We will be back.

The process to eat/drink a bit clunky as you get in line for your first order, and the wait staff will assist on any second orders as you ae seated. The food and drinks were good. Lots of pizza, pretzels and cheese platters were flying out the kitchen. Upstairs was more of a self serve - jelly, popcorn, ice cream and apples . The real bonus is the Awesome Views, Mt Kearsarge and many others. Overall a casual atmosphere, a band on weekends.

I paid under 800 dollars! The coordinator Molly was an absolute doll. She even had me make my own playlist in advance before the event. I shared it with her via Spotify and I got to have it playing during the event through a professional sound system. I was able to bring decorations in advance and the staff set them up for me and did an amazing job. The place was clean even in the bathrooms. Please note the food is bar food which is great if you want to also play games and party like I did! The drinks are great with seasonal options as well! See photos attached

We elected to sit outside on the deck under an umbrella. We could hear the band from the Japanese restaurant next door. I ordered a flight which consisted of four ciders that I could choose. The server wrote the initials of my choices on a board and told me what they were. I ordered less sweet, more dry kinds. There were subtle differences between them based on the fruit notes. I did miss getting a Huckleberry flavor like I do when I go to Washington state. Our server was upbeat and friendly even though we only ordered drinks. Tip: To enter, use the doors that say "use other door," I thought the arrow was saying go to an entrance around the building but that was an employee only door.

    This place was one of our favorite stops when we visited Vermont two years ago, which makes this…read morereview especially disappointing to write. We came here three different times during that trip because everything was so fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was a completely different experience. The cafe has really gone downhill. My favorite menu item used to be the turkey BLT wrap, and it was amazing. It has since been removed from the menu, and now bacon is a $4 add on, which seems absolutely ridiculous. I ordered the turkey and Cabot cheddar sandwich instead, and it was honestly one of the worst sandwiches I have ever had. The bread was supposed to be sourdough, but it tasted like stale white bread. The sandwich looked like it had been thrown together. The tomatoes still had the stems on them, and the turkey was incredibly dry. I could not even finish half of it. I ended up asking for a refund, and even that took about 20 minutes to sort out. We hoped the cider donuts would make up for it, but they were dry and not hot and fresh like we remembered. That was another big disappointment. I am leaving this review because I genuinely want to see this place succeed again. It used to be a must visit destination, but now it feels like the quality has dropped while the prices have gone up. Please bring back the turkey BLT wrap, make every donut hot and fresh, and bring back the lemon bars. Those were some of the things that made this place so special. I truly hope Cold Hollow Cider Mill can return to the quality that made us come back three times during our first visit to Vermont. Right now, after this last experience, it makes me question whether we would return again.
