Review # 550 ( According To My Journal)…read more Tuesday, June 30, 2026 I can't believe that I have Never written a 5 Star Review for My One & Only Favorite Fun Cider Mill - YATES ! This Sweet Business is Located at 1950 E. Avon Rd. near 23 Mile Rd and Dequindre. It is My monthly stop after visiting My Parents at the cemetery on Hamlin Nearby Yates Cider off Dequindre. Yates is celebrating 163 Years of Fresh Made Cider from Apples grown on the property and nearby to be Mashed in their pressing Machine located inside this sweet business. Naturally they close for the winter but open the first week of May till after Halloween. Stop in to see the farm animals for kids, play area and plenty of picnic tables to sit and enjoy a glass of cider and their famous plain or cinnamon sugar donut. ( Photos attached) The past 3 times when I have stopped to shop the donuts have been freshly baked and warm to enjoy before I drive home with a Gallon of cider and 4 other donuts cuz I always eat 2 there with a couple swigs of cider. There's walking trails near the water so pack your hiking or walking tennis shoes for us ladies in flip flops or sandals. Pets are welcome on leash. Inside the business is their clean and stocked store with Homemade Donuts of Cinnamon, Plain & Powdered, Apple Fritters on Friday, Jams, Jellies, Pocket Pies, Cookies and also Sparkling Cider in the Fall. There's an Outdoor Ice Cream Shoppe with Fudge, Caramel Apples, Ice Cream including their famous Donut Sundaes ! They sell hot dogs, roasted corn, and apples when in season. The Staff is always polite with Welcome Smiles when I visit Yates. Some Gluten- Free donuts options are also available I was told. I saw on my last visit two weeks ago, slushy cider machines so Sip and Cool off and maybe encounter a brain freeze ? lol I have a Yates "Core Punch Card" that the staff will punch every time I purchase a gallon of cider, then when the punch card is full... A FREE GALLON of Cider will Put a Smile on My Face and Enjoy! * Traffic alert of Roundabout completion to assist the lines of vehicles from May throughout Summer months and Fun Times in the Fall: Dequindre Rd. now has installed 2 Roundabouts to help with the flow of traffic so be aware, careful and courtesy when entering and leaving Yates Cider Mill and Yield! Thank You to this wonderful classic and old time family business for the many years of satisfying My Cravings and Sweet Tooth back in 2015. Hours: Monday - Thursday 9 AM - 9 PM Friday 8 AM - 10 PM Saturday 9 AM - 10 PM Sunday 12 PM - 9 PM Holiday Hours May Differ so Call (248) 651-8300 There's also their newest location in Canterbury Village. Yates is a Fun Time for families to make memories yearly from Spring, Summer and Fall Months as a Happy Sweet Comfort Yummy Place. Enjoy My Many Photos that I have attached throughout the years. Oh My Deeeelicious its Cider & Donuts at its Finest ! *I enjoy Cider to start off Spring, then Spice up Summer with Captain Morgan's Apple Rum, then to warm up in the Season of Fall with Yates Cider & a shot of Hot Fireball!

On the haunted hayride we had a young woman who was in charge of our wagon and she was a bit over the top with giving instructions and being bossy. I think if she wasn't so annoying I would have given more stars for the whole event, but she was really a downer. They stop half way through the hayride to give you cider and donuts which was really good. The hayride wasn't that scary so don't worry about your kids being scared. I would have liked at least one scream!

It's a great time at Blake's. You can enjoy all of the festivities for the fall season my friends…read moreand I went in a large group and did a package deal for the haunted hayride, a walk-through haunted house, as well as the area with animals. I have to say the real draw is the cider and donuts however you feel like a kid when you go. It's definitely for everyone and it's perfect for a family experience, but I have to say it makes a wonderful night out for grown-ups too. And they have a great system that makes it quick and easy to purchase what you want as you have gone through all of the fun haunting areas. You don't have to wait forever to buy your donuts and cider. Best of all, they also offer cider slush. Make sure that Blake's Big Apple is a stop for your fall festivities.

I was excited to try the chicken shawarma and although I was not disappointed it was different than…read moreI expected. The pictures I saw large chunks of chicken and this was like ground chicken that I thought was beef at first. I will say that it was seasoned and just on the verge of being too salty. I asked to add feta which they didn't say was would be $2 extra when I ordered. I may have changed my mind and used my own at home. The Italian sandwich was ok. Hubby said that maybe he should have ordered it cold instead. He chose not to have the Italian dressing on it, so then it was dry as there is no mayo or mustard. Fries were actually pretty tasty and not dry. Not sure if I would get the pita again....so far our small thin crust meat lovers pizza was the best thing we've had since the new owners took over. We got both meals for $24. Wish they had a cheaper option for sandwich only, no fries.
