The staff was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. I went in there to taste test and compare with other local cider makers, and I can honestly say the cider was divine! After driving by this cider maker for so many years and not stopping in, I'm sorry I waited so long! read more

Best spice and plain donuts Spice is baked throughout donut Very friendly staff and inside is very homey and cozy Best cider donut I have tasted read more

Thiis cider mill has been mine and my husband's favorite for several years. The cider and donuts are the best!

I love this place- Everything about it. When you walk in, You're literally surrounded and looking at cider being pressed and donuts being made. Pistachio Bread: don't leave with a loaf of this- very hard to explain but you won't find it anywhere else. For Frosted donuts you best go early but anytime you come, there's something wonderful. Kids that work the counter are great too full of knowledge about the process so ask a question! read more

If you want the best cider donuts in metro Detroit - this is truly your place. My mom and i went on a "cider mill" tour to test this out - and can confirm these beat all the donuts around. They serve them warm and they are so plush and soft, they melt in your mouth! I won't go anywhere else for donuts from now on. read more

Close your eyes. Imagine the smell of fresh apples and baked goods wafting through the air, the taste of a warm cinnamon sugar donut on your tongue and the feel of a piping hot cup of cider with all the fall spices in your hand. Yep... about as close to heaven as you can get. Goodison's Cider Mill is quaint, never too busy and full of all the good fall feels. Definitely one of my favorite annual destinations. read more

Goodison Cider Mill - Heaven right here; perfect fall destination. - Donuts Near Me - Rochester, Michigan

Small plain donut and a 12 ounce warm cider was $3.50 here. Single donut $1. The plain donut is slightly crispy, the dough is also sweet and cakey, the dough is a bit more dense but not bad. The cider is piping hot, that's a first out of 4 places today. Tastes good but doesn't have a lot of spices to it, too sweet even. Not so special. Small spot and cozy. There's a few tables and chairs to the right of the registers. You can watch the staff make the donuts through the screen door beyond the tables. Not a busy place to go and can get in and out easily, it's noon on a Saturday. read more

I thought it was cash only, but I can't recall. Bring some in case. Small, unassuming donuts and cider place. There's definitely not much to do here. The other cider mill down the street was way more popular... On Sundays, it looks like they bring in a musical act. Small parking area, but there's another lot you can park in that's super close. Small ish line on late weekend afternoon. 1 donut is $1, half a dozen is $6. Can't recall on the cider prices. Pistachio nut bread is $10. I think the apple pie is $14. The plain donut was good. A little more 'fried'. The pistachio nut bread felt a bit expensive, but I really like it. The cinnamon is pretty strong. Maybe a tiny bit sweeter than I'd like, but a good dessert overall. I would come back! read more

Super cute and tiny place to stop for cider and donuts. The cinnamon sugar donuts were still hot when they bagged them for me and tasted great, the fresh cider was a perfect thing to wash them down with. I went around noon on a Friday and has no wait time for my treats. read more

Cute place! Discovered it on a bikeride yesterday. Prices were reasonable. Cider was very good. Salted caramel donut was AMAZING. Friendly service. read more

What's not to love about a small town, honest, great place? Been going there for years for tasty cider & doughnuts. This cider is fantastic! Not too sweet, not too tart. Just perfect flavor. The blueberry & cherry doughnuts never make home though.... They barely make it into the car before they're all enjoyed I highly recommend the Goodson Cider Mill. We can't get enough, and neither can anyone who comes to visit us. read more

$12.50 for a single gallon of cider, $7.50 for a half gallon, and it tasted like apple juice instead of real cider. Go to a different cider mill that doesn't price gouge for Mott's tasting apple juice. read more

They have the best doughnuts in Oakland county. They are always warm and taste amazing !! It is a small place. They have arranged a nice place outside to share with the family. Highly recommended read more

Come early for a donut so fresh and hot it practically falls apart in your hand. I'm so glad I found this little gem!

Hands down the best cider and donuts in the area. I don't get caught up in the big hoopla of Blake's and paint creek. This place has amazing treats, fresh apples, and might I mention the donuts are 90% of the time fresh out of the back so they are crisp hot melt in your mouth goodness. I try to take everyone I know that says "well usually we just go to Blake's" to this place to get in on the real local business cider mill. read more

Goodison Cider Mill - Donuts Near Me - Rochester, Michigan

This place is so small you could drive by it for years and never really notice it was there. That, in fact, is what I did until recently when I visited for the first time. It was nicely decorated with a variety of house-made products on display, and there was a rustic charm to the interior. They sold much of what you'd expect at a cider mill: donuts, pies, caramel apples and, of course, cider. We ordered a variety of donuts, a slice of pistachio loaf and two hot mulled ciders. I also bought a half-gallon of cider to take home. The man who was working there was friendly and very knowledgeable of the history of the mill. He informed us that Goodison, unlike the nearby Paint Creek Mill, still makes their own cider. The food and cider was tasty, and there were benches and picnic tables outside where we could sit and enjoy our drinks. It doesn't have the scale or production value of a place like Yates in Rochester, but it has a nice location on Orion road and its product is just as good. I think Goodison is often overshadowed by the larger Paint Creek Cider Mill just up the street, but I would highly recommend dropping in at Goodison to give it a try. read more

My wife was in the area and stopped after work for cider and donuts. The donuts had been setting around for a long while, and probably should have been tossed, not sold. The cider is ok, about right for an early in the season pressing, perhaps a bit watery. Not impressed. I am 4th generation Rochester resident and I remember this mill being much better. read more

This quaint shed may not seem like the place to find exquisite desserts but it it surpasses any cider mill I've ever been to. Hot cider and slushees are delicious treats for warm or cold and their cinnamon sugar doughnuts are to die for. Each one is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. If you're lucky and time your trip right you're doughnut may be served warm. Even though it is only open during the fall and holidays Goodison Cider Mill is well worth the wait. read more

Easily the best donuts of any cider mill around here. They follow covid protocols, and their coder is t as sweet as some others if you like that. read more

The cherry doughnuts with a little frosting glaze on them are delicious. As are the donuts with the sugar cinnamon. But the best, the very best was my apple cider slushee! Yes, it tastes so heavenly, I ordered a large and was not disappointed. I couldn't stop drinking it. So cold and hits the spot with a nice fresh warm doughnut. They also have an assortment of stocking stuffers, like honey, apple butter, jams and apple spices for your winter comforts. The family run business, has been around for about 50 years or more and uses locally grown apples for their hot and cold apple cider. For a small little business it sure gave me a big bang of yummy. read more

Donuts and cider were great. It was sooo cool to be able to see them pressing the cider. It's a real authentic place so nothing fancy. It is very considerate of them to have a net tent, if you're a frequent cider mill goer you know how bad the bees can get. Also had a some play equipment for the kids to play. read more

Goodison is my favorite cider mill. Growing up it was them or nothing! Their cider and donuts are wonderful. You also get more of a variety of donuts than the usual plain or cinnamon sugar that Yates offers. The frosted blueberry dounuts are my all time favorite. It is right next door to the Paint Creek Cider Mill so this place can be easy to miss. But it is a worthwhile stop if you know where to look. A lot of people seem upset at the size of the place but it is a known favorite to the locals and the quailty and service always leaves you with a smile. Even now I'll make a point of going out of my way to drive up and start my fall season off right. read more

Went here because Yates cider mill was full. Wasn't expecting much. It was really amazing!! The perfect crunch and softness combined in a apple cinnamon donut. I would seriously recommend this place. It's small but has a lot of other stuff besides cider and donuts. read more

This place is small and doesn't look very fancy, but they have the best cider and donuts in the area. This place beats Yates cider any day. The cider and donuts are always fresh. Often times, the donuts are still warm when you get them. read more

Visited Goodison today, and oh my gosh, cider is so tasty and the doughnuts came right out of the kitchen! They were still warm and simply amazing! The best part... no lines, and no traffic, even on a sunny Saturday afternoon! I cannot stand the traffic, long lines, and bees at the other big house cider mills, this place blows them all away in every way! If you want to relax and enjoy your treats, there is plenty of room to do it on the property. If you want to be in and out, you can easily do that here too. Enjoy! read more

Growing up in Michigan, I have been to plenty of cider mills and have tasted many doughnuts and ciders- Blake's, Rochester Cider Mill, Paint Creek, Yates, Apple Charlie's, Hy's, Franklin, Parmenters, Plymouth cider mill, the list goes on... and I will say without a fought Goodison has THE best cider and apple cinnamon doughnuts. Always fresh. Always friendly. The cider is perfect. Not too sweet. Perfect! We live very very close to Rochester cider mill (almost can see it from our home,) and we go to Goodison :) Thank me later :) read more

I received a coupon for Goodison's. I thought it was a medium to large establishment, but it's tiny! Now, that's not their fault, as they never claimed to be large. The 3 stars are for the delicious cider slushies and cinnamon donuts. They were good, but cold...I guess you can warm them. The guy at the counter was friendly enough. The reason I didn't give a higher rating is due to the lack of ambiance. It's really rustic, too rustic, a little rundown for me. However, I can see how if you live in the neighborhood it's a great place to get donuts, cider, and all kinds of goodies. This one I will have to leave to the locals. read more

Stopped by for first time this weekend. Got some apple cider, cinnamon apple donuts, frosted blueberry donuts, frosted cherry donuts & a jar of FROG (fig, raspberries, oranges, & ginger) Jam. Tried cider & donuts so far. Cider is good, maybe not best but really good. Donuts are way above average; best that I've had in north Oakland/Macomb county area. I definitely prefer them over ones we got at Yate's a few weeks ago. Can't wait to try the Jam. read more

They cut the size of the donuts by a third, unbelievable. They had great cider one Saturday, tasted like candy, the following week it was all tart apples, very surprising. read more

Tiny little place but charming in its quaint, mom & pop way. Staff was very friendly, food was awesome (Caramel apples, jam, honey, pies, cider) but the best thing is the Pistachio Nut Bread. It's sweet and moist and buttery and green on the inside! We also loved the blueberry glazed donuts which rival Yates for best I've had this year. Definitely worth a visit (even if your gps takes you through the boonies) read more

The donuts are AMAZING! So much better than Yates or the one South on Orion. Staff is kind and the prices are very justifiable.

I absolutely love this place! The people are always so nice and talkative. The cider and donuts are delicious! They have hot cider and they sell the spices they put in it. They also have cider slushies! Plus apples and so many other things. My favorite cider mill around! read more

My boyfriend and I tried to go to Yates yesterday, but the line of cars was way too long. We almost gave up when we decided to ask Siri about other cider mills nearby, and this came up. We decided to check it out, and we're so glad we did. The cider and donuts were amazing and fresh. We will definitely recommend this place to everyone. Only minor complaint that can't be helped - too many wasps! read more

This is a decent place if you're specifically looking for a cider mill in the area. The quality of the food is especially good, however, they have a very limited and sort of amateur establishment. I was surprised to know they did not serve coffee, and the quantities of cider are also limited compared to some other places. The seating area is a also bit disorganized. The food is excellent though. Highly recommend take home. read more

Best doughnuts and cider around! Love their cute little shop too. I always make sure to stop in when I am in the area.

Blueberry glazed donuts are amazing! The place is very cute and the staff is friendly. Is also very near the paint creek trail.

There is not a lot to do at this cider mill but you won't get better donuts anywhere. The frosted blueberry donuts are the best cider donuts I have ever had. The cider was good and the cinnamon donuts are also very good but nothing beats their frosted blueberry read more

This small, family owned cider mill has the best donuts and you can watch them fill your gallon of cider - you know both will be fresh!

BEST CIDER MILL DONUTS AROUND!! Smaller than some of the other cider mills in the area, however, less crowded and a really cute little store, fantastic cider, yummy pumpernickel bread , best cinnamon sugar donuts. This is my go-to in the early/late fall months, very pretty area as well :) read more

I picked up some apple cider in late October from Goodison Cider Mill and the quality/taste was absurdly good! In the past I've always gone to the nearby Paint Creek Cider Mill (which really isn't a mill, they get their cider from Blake's). I decided to finally give this place a try, and it was the best decision of my life! (well, almost) Both are good...but this stuff was amazing. The complex and strong aroma of late season apples made me nostalgic of my childhood (this is where someone is going to jump in and say "it's just apple cider dude"). Paint Creek does have a larger and more diverse establishment which may be important if you are trying to entertain your kids or are more into the other food products than the cider itself, but if you are an apple cider enthusiast, Goodison Cider Mill is definitely the place to be. I live over an hour away and stopped by while I was visiting someone in the area. I'm looking for an excuse to come back before the end of the season! read more
