The man behind the counter wasn't rude, but he wasn't pleasant either. He said very few words and proceeded to finish doing what he was busy with and picked out 6 jelly sticks with his ungloved hands. He then took my cash and made change with ungloved hands and filled the order of the people behind me with the same hands. I was going to leave a nice tip but I couldn't get past the no glove issue. I put the donuts in my car and dropped them in the garbage can at the mini mart. Sucks, I love good donuts.

The storefront, in a quiet residential neighborhood, is an empty room where you stand while you wait & order, there is a window/counter where you order, and behind the counter is where they make the doughnuts. It couldn't be more simple. The offerings are all cake doughnuts and crullers. Plain, sugar, cinnamon, jelly - all prepped to order. A local legend, and well worth its reputation.

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.

I think both only get them a couple of days a week; worth asking about.

The service is always very quick, the workers are friendly, and the food is excellent. The coffee is a great mellow drip coffee that I can only seem to find in diners in the northeast. Their donuts and pastries are light, fluffy, and made fresh daily (make sure to get there early before they sell out!). Beyond these, they have a great classic diner menu for breakfast and lunch at affordable prices.

We showed up around 530 expecting they had been open for a bit and were ready for business. They weren't even close.

If we hadn't promised everyone we are vacationing with donuts we would have just gone home and made breakfast. Instead my husband went back around 7 and they still weren't fully ready with all the flavors but he still ordered. The donuts saved this review because the product really was worth it!
