Larsen Apple Barn Bake Shop - You can't go wrong! Nov 2025 - Bakeries Near Me - Camino, California

Larsen Family Farms is one of those places that just feels like fall. Tucked along the Apple Hill trail, it's become a yearly tradition for us -- the drive, the crisp air, and that first bite of their incredible chicken pot pie. No one does it better! We always leave with a car full of apples, sweet treats, and smiles. The staff couldn't be kinder, and the little museum on the property adds the perfect touch of nostalgia. There's something timeless about it -- a place that reminds you of simpler days and the magic of autumn. read more

My girlfriend and I spent the day at apple hill. This was our second stop. We arrived around 11am on a Sunday. It wasn't that busy when we arrived. Each Farm has something they are known for and from a friend we heard that this place had the best apple dumplings covered in their special sauce. We came here specifically to try their apple dumplings. My girlfriend brought 6 to bake at home. The bake shop has a lot to offer. Not only does it have pies, cupcakes, cookies, dumplings, it also has lunch items like an apple salad. You can buy baked items freshly baked or frozen. I choose the hot apple dumplings so we can try it on the spot. The apple was smaller than anticipated. It turned out that there was just enough apple to go with all the pastry. I would eat another one. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Coming early paid off. There wasn't a long line at the bake shop. We were 2nd in line and there was a family sitting down waiting for their food. I look forward to coming back here next year. We went to there apple barn and they have some varieties of apples I've never heard of. I would like to given them a try, but they don't sell individual apples. It's only by the bag or box. We got a great parking spot right in-front of the apple barn. The bathrooms are plentiful and clean. read more

I've been to Apple Hill a good handful of times but never got a chance to stop at Larsen's. I've been missing out! The Apple barn and bake shop are separate buildings. When you step into the Apple barn the mixture of different types of apples smell SO good like you're holding a fresh apple right up to your nose. The bake shop also smells amazing of course. And the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Just past the bake shop is their museum of the Larsen family history. It was amazing to see the vehicles they had parked in there and all the old machinery. The two gentlemen inside the museum were amazingly welcoming and gave my partner and I a lesson in the history of everything we were looking at. They had all the current and old family photos hanging up near the entrance and an original map of Apple hill, it was really cool to see. We had a great time. I definitely recommend :) read more

Bought some apples and cider at a great price from Larsen's Apples and walked over to the Bake shop for some tasty fresh treats. Bought two listed items: fresh apple slices with caramel-I would avoid this as the "caramel" is actually dulce de leche from boiled sweetened condensed milk, which is not caramel. Was really disappointed in that item. Also bought a fresh sour cream berry apple pie that was incredibly delicious later at home. read more

Apple cookies not very good. They fell apart like a crumpled mess. So disappointed. Not cheap. Came from out of town. Won't return.

This is a very nice ranch with plenty of seating and a great atmosphere. I only stopped by for their bakeshop this trip, as I've heard they have wonderful pies, and it wasn't wrong! I bought a couple frozen to bake at home, and am currently enjoying their cream cheese pumpkin pie with candied topping, and it's amazing. I wanted a little bit of a darker browning on the topping so I just low broiled it with foil tented over the crust and it was FANTASTIC! The lady at the bakeshop was also very kind and helpful! A new favorite stop. read more

The people are SO friendly here- I just love it!! This farm has been in the family for several generations (we spoke to one of them- she was so kind)! The museum is open and the bakery is filled with delicious treats... but sadly, we're told that their crop had a bad night of freeze and was ruined. I'm hopeful that this cute farm (and Larsen family) will triumph next year- so please make sure to check them out!! The bakery IS open NOW, so if you're hungry or have a sweet tooth, go say hi. read more

Larsen Apple Barn Bake Shop - a water wheel - Bakeries Near Me - Camino, California

The Larsen Apple Barn Bake shop is the home of the original Apple turnover on the hill. Or so at least that is what's printed in the Apple Hill Farm guide. So when I dropped on by, I ordered a turnover $3.95. They top it with apple syrup. It was served at room temp, which was fine with me. I'm not a big proponent of microwaving a fresh made turnover. But the turnover was yummy. Thick flaky substantial crust with chunks of apples inside. Not overly sweet even with the syrup. Yum. The staff was fabulous and they described all the different kinds of pastries. You would never know they answer the same questions everyday, all day constantly because they are so friendly and helpful to each and every customer. Oh boy, let me tell you they have an extensive baked good offerings (varieties of whole and slices of pie, turnover,dumpling, muffins, cupcakes...) and cafe items like salads and sandwiches. Sweet and savory. read more

Still the best apple pie I've ever had!! Their family recipe is simply perfct. The pie isn't very sweet and the crust is so light! Delicious!! I go back every year just to get some of their apple pie. This year I brought a frozen one home so I can bake it myself during the holidays! Yum! Note: they are closed on Saturdays! read more

We ate at the cafe, out on the patio, on a perfect Placerville day. I had the "Apple Hill Salad" and it was a perfect mix of sweet and savory, cool and fresh and light. If I lived any closer, I'd ask to buy a bottle of the poppyseed dressing. SOOOO good. We ended our meal with a shared apple turnover - simply excellent! read more

We had some apple pastries that were ok to pretty good but my main issue was with health and safety. Inside the very small store there was no enforcement of mask wearing. Additionally, I could see that most of the kitchen staff and even one of the people working the cash register were wearing their masks around their chins. read more

Although this review is for the bake shop, you'll find more than baked goods here. Food: Came here looking for an appleliscious snack after visiting the Apple Barn and the museum. While the Barn has fresh apples, cider, and frozen pies, you'll find lots of ready to eat goods in the Bake Shop. I sprang for the apple dumpling (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/larsen-apple-barn-bake-shop-camino?select=mSCSsoSq4CqA6oM1LiB5TQ#SnQXB6TvmMA_QRlA-pdXmg). This thing features a deliciously tart peeled apple baked until tantalizingly soft and wrapped with a carbtastic dough wrapper. Once you tear into the wrapper, a thick ooze of sugar and cinnamon pours out. So good! They also have drinks (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/larsen-apple-barn-bake-shop-camino?select=mSCSsoSq4CqA6oM1LiB5TQ#IIU6LWfIIw4oY99_B988oQ), burgers, and other non-apple foods, but you'll definitely eat better if you stick to the baked items. Atmosphere: The Bake Shop is just one of the buildings near the Larsen Apple Barn. You'll also find a museum detailing the history of the Larsen family and the barn itself which is always bustling with customers snapping up pies and crates of apples. I'll review the barn itself in a sec. It's a pretty far drive into Apple Hill, but I think it's worth a stop. Service: Could have been better. The girl who took my order was sort of out of it and I had to ask to get my dumpling after watching several other people get their orders out before me. It might have been that heating the dumpling takes longer than most items, but we waited a good 20 minutes for it to come out. Some notice would've been appreciated. Synopsis: Loving the apple dumpling. If I come back, I'll probably get a bunch of these to go and freeze them for special occasions. read more

The reason I travel to Apple Hill is to have a good time, enjoy good food, and have a relaxed day. As I pulled into the Larsen shops I noticed a big truck with the Trump flags (no big deal customers have the right to express themselves); however, as we tried to go into the barn a guy dress from head to toe in Trump attire was standing on the door lecturing everyone about the devil. No thank you!!!keep your politics to yourself and not the customers. read more

We love their apples and the price. But was sad to find out that they are not organic :( I know I should of asked in advanced read more

Questionable Covid 19 safety precautions for this bakery. The workers were wearing mouth shields. I was visualizing airborne particles floating in the air as they were talking and breathing. The staff weren't really helpful when I asked if the pies needed to be refrigerated or if they can be left out in room temperature overnight. Other than that,, they were friendly. I bought two pies: the traditional apple pie and pumpkin cheese. Both were tasty. The apple pie wasn't too sweet. The apples in the pie are cut in very thin layers. I would come back, but when there are less concerns of Covid 19. read more

Beautiful country bakery at apple hill. It is ideally located across from a beautiful park where families enjoy time together. We ordered the berry and apple sour cream pie...excellent!! Very simple, warm, and fresh. The larsen farm berries and apple's boast ideal fall flavors for a fruit pie.. read more

A few of us were meeting close by to go kayaking. I asked what time they opened and was told 8am. At 8:05 we were ready to purchase a few things. They could have cared less and seemed annoyed we were there. This was my second visit and after the bad attitudes and subpar apple pie, I won't be back. A few others made mention the baked goods were just ok and the service not that great. Go to Kids, INC instead. Their apple cheesecake pie is the bomb! read more

I tried the traditional Apple slice (good), pumpkin slice (eh, ok), berry Apple sour cream slice (didn't like but my parents did), and pumpkin cookie (awesome!!!!) If you've been to southern California's Julian (their version of Apple hill) then this place and pretty much any other place in Apple hill is a disappointment. They were also slammed when I went and did an amazing job of getting food out. read more

We went on a weekend where there was a 5K event that morning. We were looking for a place we could walk around in Apple Hill with our Puppy and enjoy a fall day. The place WAS packed - but less packed than others, and we ended up waiting about 45 minutes to order some food and apple baked goodies. All in all - the food was okay - pretty over priced for what we got but it's Apple Hill - a tourist trap what do you expect? Our baked goods were okay too - not great, not what i was expecting, but they did the job. We ended up doing a salad, a sandwhich, a slice of pie (the best baked good of the three), 2 dumplings (I didn't like these, I would not recommend) and 2 turnovers (ehh they were okay) - and it cost us near $40. Not a great value - but we needed to eat at this point. Unfortuantely there's also really no place to sit and "picnic" here - there's 3 or 4 tables in front of the restaurant otherwise that's about it. I was also hoping for how large the area was there was more picnic area to enjoy but nope - we had to go elsewhere to find space! read more

I'm not a fan of Apple pie or any pie really but they had me hooked their sour cream Apple berry pie!!! It is the best pie I've ever had and especially with Gunthers Vanilla served on top! We always take home at least 3 pies during the holidays to share with family and they all love it!! Hands down best pie everrr! read more

The ad in the Apple Hill map book says they serve gourmet food. Not even close... Microwaves are humming away in that kitchen. They do BBQ a tri-tip to death so make sure to add mayo and sauce. read more

This Apple Hill location is always a winner. They have a museum, great apple barn and really yummy veggie burgers.

FIVE STARS for the spicy apple cake with gooey sauce and vanilla ice cream! It just doesn't get any better, and the service is personable and efficient! Keep a couple in your freezer! read more

I didn't see any baked good here when we went, but they had just opened (a week early), we bought nectarines, pears and apples, all with a taste test before hand. read more

Friendly customer service. The veggie burger was the best I've had! Museum was interesting as well

Great service...the woman in the bake shop is a doll and the pumpkin pie is the best pumpkin pie i have had at apple hill.
