Bellvale Farms Creamery is one of those places that instantly reminds you why simple summer…read moretraditions never get old. We came here for a refreshing treat on a cool Sunday evening, and it absolutely did not disappoint. Luckily, the weather kept the crowds manageable -- busy, but nowhere near the chaos of a hot summer afternoon. Nestled in the mountains of Warwick, NY, this creamery has such a charming, peaceful vibe. I first discovered it a few years ago after taking my nephew apple picking nearby, so I was excited to finally make my way back. The scenic drive alone is worth it. On this visit, they were serving customers inside only, but during peak summer days they also open the walk-up windows, which seems like a smart system for handling bigger crowds. Inside, the L-shaped counter setup helps keep the line moving efficiently even when there are multiple groups waiting. One thing I truly appreciated as someone with a gluten allergy was how clearly they labeled the gluten-free flavors on the menu. It made ordering stress-free and saved me from having to ask a million questions. Honestly, I wish every ice cream shop did this. Another huge bonus: they allow two flavors in a small size! I ordered the Great White Way and Calf Trax with rainbow sprinkles, and both flavors were absolutely delicious. After grabbing your ice cream, there are picnic tables outside overlooking breathtaking mountain views. It's the kind of place where you could easily sit for hours, relax, and just take in the scenery while enjoying your cone. The staff was friendly, parking was plentiful (always appreciated), and the overall experience was exactly what I hoped for. Bellvale Farms Creamery continues to live up to the hype, and I already can't wait to go back.

I ended up at Bellvale Farms Creamery after accidentally crashing my friend's bachelorette weekend,…read morewhich honestly feels very on brand for me. I had never been here before, so I went in completely blind, but the second I got out of the car, I understood why people come here. First of all: parking on BOTH sides of the street. Say less. Nothing ruins a cute little ice cream trip faster than circling for parking while your will to live slowly leaves your body. Then there's the smell. The scent wafting through the air should honestly be studied because it had me floating toward the building like a cartoon character following a pie cooling on a windowsill. I'm not saying the aroma dragged me in against my will...but I'm also not *not* saying that. Inside, the shop is set up in an "L" shape, and they have the flavors posted both outside AND inside, which I deeply appreciated because nobody needs the chaos of 14 people trying to read one tiny menu while pretending they're ready to order. They let you sample flavors before committing, which is dangerous for someone like me because suddenly I become an ice cream sommelier. I ended up getting Bellvale Bog and Calf Trax and let me tell you: absolutely worth it. 10/10. No notes. And somehow it gets even better once you walk back outside because there are picnic tables with a view that is genuinely stunning. Like, annoyingly picturesque. The kind of view that makes you stop mid-bite and rethink your life choices. For a completely spontaneous stop, this ended up being one of the highlights of the day. I will absolutely be back, and this time intentionally.

My wife and I ordered ciders, I had the bone dry, and she ordered the black currant. My son had the non-alcoholic sparkling cider. The ciders are always delicious. We also ordered some food.

The food was good, the drinks were good, and the weather cooperated so we were able to enjoy a great day outside.

We enjoy coming here to do some apple picking because they…read moreallow cars in and you can park at the orchard and have a picnic. The area is huge so it doesnt feel so crowded and everybody usually seems to have their own private space. It also a little uphill so the air is fresh and view is lovely. Dogs are also allowed here too. The barn area and stores can get pretty crowded though and they tend to sell out fast with their apple cider donuts. They have a few farm animals, have apple cider for sale (and if you forget they also sell some as you leave the farm by the "gates"). Recently they have added more porta potties so the lines go quick. However the grass all over the apple orchard tends to be left alone so some are overgrown and could reach up to your knees if youre a little shorter like me lol

The staff is also super welcoming and knowledgeable during this so you learn so much about each beverage. It does get very crowded in the fall so plan your visit accordingly.

What a nice time I had here with my family. We went a few weeks ago. And it was packed. But…read moreeveryone was having such a good time. And the weather was nice and chilly. It was actually perfect. There was so many activities there like apple picking, shopping, music, dancing etc.... we personally did not do the apple picking because it was a bit too pricey for our pockets but we enjoyed the food, the music anf the company. There was laughter everywhere! What big smiles everyone had on their faces, including the children. We really enjoyed visiting. Back in Orlando and I'm still daydreaming of going back. It was the comforting feeling I've missed.

Parking was pretty straightforward. You might need to walk a little to the main area, where there's a small fee to enter the non-apple-picking area. It's small but cute. There are some things for kids to climb on, some animals to see, and a good amount of places to sit and eat purchased food and beverages or what you brought in. The apple cider donuts are definitely worth getting, and I was decently satisfied with my pulled pork sandwich. Next time, though, I'd probably just bring my own food. There's a small store with items and snacks for sale (and an ATM). There's also a bar for some seasonal drinks. The apple-picking area you pay by the bag size. Cash only. No wagons allowed - I wish this had been posted better, but apparently it's a new policy since apples were getting stolen. How sad! Lots of apple trees and two very large sections to choose from. Near the parking lot is a small patch of pumpkins. We got two decent-sized ones for $15/each. The area was definitely muddy with all the traffic and rain. Wear your galoshes! By 1pm, when we were leaving, there was a huge line of cars to get in. If I come back, I'll definitely come on the earlier side!

People breaking the pumpkins because they're sitting on them, it's crowed with TikTok brain rot kids, and lines out the ass. 2. Because it got blown up online, there is no room to breathe. All of the attraction takes an hour to do. It doesn't feel like a farm. It feels like a trap. 3. SPEAKING OF TRAP, we went to the pumpkin patch and decided to not get any pumpkins. The line for the hayride was an hour long. We decided to walk to the parking lot when security stopped us and said we couldn't even get onto the main road. We had no pumpkins. We're not stealing. Our car is literally 1/4th mile away. They called the cops so that no one could leave and we were forced to either get on the hayride or pay for an uber. My Girlfriend got an uber on principle
