Sowams was the perfect stop on our trip to enjoy a few samples of delicious ciders. These ciders are mostly dry and sweet and very fresh! The server did a wonderful job taking us through the complexity of each pour even down to where the apples were grown! They press the ciders on site and have antique presses as decor! We wished there could have been even more options to choose from but we had a wonderful time stopping by! read more

My husband and I went to Sowams for the first time yesterday. We were the only customers there, and happened to be served by the owner. The owner, Spencer, was incredibly nice and taught us everything about the ciders from the pressing to the serving. Spencer has his own orchard so the apples and entire process are from him. You can tell he loves what he does, by the passion in which he speaks of everything. The cider was delicious, each one we tried better than the next. We even got a fifth and unexpected tasting, which was delicious. The ambiance is relaxed, inviting and feels like you're in the middle of a mill, which I loved. It's so welcoming! We will be back soon, and see it as a regular spot. Spencer was so nice, and the cider so good, I'd really love to see more people come and try the place! read more

I LOVE this place! I'd give them 10 stars if I could. It's a super cozy spot with a beautiful bar, nice outdoor seating and beautiful homemade tables. The cider is some of the best I've ever had, and they even have fresh apples for eating out of hand. The service is amazing! They have their own orchard and press, ferment and age their own cider in small batches. I feel so lucky to live a few minutes' walk from here! read more

Today I had the opportunity to go on a field trip with my school, Johnson & Wales, to Sowams Cider Works. We started our time there by taste-testing different apple varieties. While we tasted, we were taught about the difference in apples as well as the process of cider making. This was very insightful, and I learned a great amount about the process of cider making as well as the process of apples growing. We ended our time there tasting their 4 different ciders they make at Sowams Cider Works. They were all delicious and had different, complex tastes. Overall, I had a great experience here and enjoyed tasting everything!! I would recommend coming here to any of my cider lovers or those looking to learn more about cider. read more

Sowams Cider Works is a gem in Warren. They use unique varietals of apples grown right down the road, and make fine cider (closer to wine than English-style cider). The product is exceptional but the service makes it worth visiting in person. You can return your large format bottles and get credit towards a glass of cider. Right off the bike path. read more

Went here for a lunch date with my wife and had a really nice time. Little shop so it was easy the talk. The person serving the cider was really nice and even offered us an extra glass of cider with our flight! Would definitely recommend read more

First off, Margaret Meg was an absolute pleasure to have as our hard cider slinger! She was very knowledgeable and very friendly! Nothing better than being greeted by a smiley person! The ciders were very good! Sulfate free and no added sugar! My personal favorite was the Roxbury Russet! The tasting was a flight of 4 for $10.00 served with yummy bread sticks! The bar stools were one of a kind, custom made, on some sort of a swivel system! Totally cool! Check em out! read more

What a fun little place in the Bristol/Warren area! They took a classic bar and put it in a cider mill, the flow is amazing and the custom swivel seats are unique and highly functional. Our hostess, Meg, was super sweet and very knowledgeable on the apples and the ciders. We opted to try a flight of four and were treated to a very unique experience. They each had very unique flavors to each other, as well as to other ciders we have tried. My personal favorite was the Virginia Crab. My wife preferred the Roxbury Russet. After our tasting we each opted for a glass of our favorite cider and more conversation with our lovely hostess! Not only does Warren Cider Works have delicious ciders to please any palate, they also have great hours for weeknight and weekend fun alike (our biggest complaint with so many wineries that we frequent). With this combination I can assure you that we will be back very soon! read more

I stopped off here on a Fall bike ride--it's right off of the bike path in Warren. The shop is absolutely adorable, with a bunch of cider presses in the back and cider crates as seats. They have a flight of 4 ciders for $10 which is an amazing deal. It also comes with some breadsticks and we got a little free sample of Cabot cheese. The cider is less sweet than you may be used to, but I really enjoyed hearing about the apple crops and tasting notes from the proprietor. It's great to hear from someone who is so passionate about their work. If you're taken with a particular cider, you can buy full bottles and even loose cider apples (just make sure that you have change). Sowams Cider Works is the definition of a hidden gem! Definitely stop here for a wholesome seasonal experience! read more

Lovely environment, delicious cider, and a great owner explaining things very thoroughly!

This place is super cute. You can get a flight which is more like a wine tasting than a flight. They bring you one cider at a time to try. There are 4 ciders. They explain each one and then you can get more drinks if you like. The flight is very reasonably priced and the place is cute. There's outdoor seating and indoor seating. The staff was super nice and well versed in the ciders. I would totally go back here again. It's a great date idea. read more

Worth a stop. Try 4 ciders for $10. Then buy some at $15 - $20/bottle. Well informed staff. Making some truly "artisanal" ciders from a variety of apples. Featured in this month's Edible Rhody. Limited parking so you may need to park on the street. read more

Quaint and intimate little spot just off the Main Street, WCW was a wonderful surprise. Although not for the average cider drinker who may enjoy a sweeter angry orchard type drink this place provides an authentic experience. As a home cider brewer and lover of more rustic ciders that tend to be a bit more "funky" this was right up my alley. Stop by and try a fresh pressed treat and gather a wonderful history from the pleasant staff read more

I'm very glad I was able to check out this place! It's a small place with character and a great owner!! I enjoyed trying the cider and it was tough choosing my favorite one! All the apples are grown in town which adds a nice local touch to it! You can also get a cheese plate to enjoy with your cider if you so desire. Their cider is more of a wine styled cider than a beer style. It's unique and very enjoyable! If you're in the area you definitely want to try this place o read more

Cute little hidden place on Rt.103. Place smells great inside, apples galore. The ciders are smooth and tasty. Once you try these ciders you will never go back to the liquor store bought ciders, which are full of sugar and added junk. Bartender was awesome and full of knowledge. read more

I was in Warren over Thanksgiving 2018 and the owners had just opened up about 3 weeks prior. The inside was still a work in progress, but the taps were flowing! They have hard cider available by the glass or you can get a flight. My boyfriend and I each opted for a flight so that we could taste all 4 ciders they had on tap for $10. Great balanced flavors - 2 were on the sweeter side, and 2 were dry. If you find a cider you particularly enjoy, they sell them by the bottle as well. They also sell the apples they grow, and have a lot of interesting varietals that you wouldn't find at your local grocery store. All in, a really enjoyable hangout in the small town of Warren! read more

Finished my holiday cider shopping here and was surprised to be met by this jewel of an apple: Black Oxford. A gorgeous and incredibly tasty apple (in my TOP 5), it was perfect for celebrating the Winter Solstice. Truly a top notch place for classic cider and the heirloom apples that produce it. read more

First time at cider works, absolutely amazing cider! Not too many seats with COVID restrictions, but certainly worth a visit.

My wife and I stopped in for a flight and had the BEST time chatting with Margaret! I would absolutely recommend to a friend. I only wish I had been able to enjoy a Breton style crepe while I sipped the delicious cider! read more

A wide variety of hard ciders from fruity to bone dry and in between. Some resembled the Spanish version which is not my thing but there were several that were like white wine and truly delicious. Unlike the commercial stuff, the ciders are still and APV is 8%-9%. Would be a great accompaniment to a meal. read more

Warren Cider Works is an adorable micro-cidery. The owner is friendly and happy to tell you all about what you're drinking if you come in for a flight. During the fall he sells his own apples that you'd be hard pressed to find in any grocery store because his varieties are rare and diverse. The ciders are neither overly sweet nor sparkling so if you're a fan of Angry Orchard style ciders you best go elsewhere. However, if you like your ciders closer to wine than soda pop Warren Cider Works is for you. read more

Stopped in for a cider tasting during a vacation to Newport and was very pleased with the experience! Spencer was super knowledgeable about all of the different ciders and their nuances and was very friendly and hospitable during our visit, even giving us bread sticks as a palate cleanser. The outdoor seating area was nice and cozy and we felt very safe during the pandemic. There was a parking lot next door which made parking a breeze. I would definitely recommend stopping by for a quick drink and getting a flight to understand each of the ciders. All of them were so great and were different from any other ciders we've had before. read more

I read an article about the opening of Warren Cider Works and out of curiosity and a desire to support a local business I stopped by the store. I received a warm welcome and loved the simplicity of the place. I am not much of a wine drinker and the idea of drinking fermented cider did not have much appeal but even so I bought a bottle to bring home. After a brief discussion I decided on the Winesap 67. We opened the bottle this evening and my preconceived ideas of what hard cider would be like were so wrong. The cider was light, dry and refreshing. My wife and I greatly enjoyed it and will soon be back to get more and try other varieties. read more

This is a hidden gem in Warren, RI. The ciders were excellent and the salvaged antique bar is one of a kind. This is a pretty awesome place, you'll be pleasantly surprised. While you're there check out the apple selection from their farm and ask about the cider bottle taps they're ingenious! read more

Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. The cider was delicious. We tried the tasting (sample of 4 ciders) and split a glass. We went home with a couple of bottles to enjoy at home. 5 stars!! read more

Good cider. Owner is knowledgeable and friendly. Nice location to sit back, drink and people watch.

This is a must-see for locals or visitors. The space is quite attractive with art, old presses, a comfortable bar and bar stools, standing tables made of their apple crates, and outdoor seating as well. The bartenders know everything about the ciders, which are of the highest quality, and made with local apples and no preservatives or other chemicals. It is amazing how different each product tastes from the different apples. You can get a nice cheese plate if you are in the mood for food. read more

We stopped in on a Saturday night. This was not our destination of choice. Never thought this was our type of place. We couldn't find an empty barstool anywhere in Warren. We figured there was no better time than now to try it. We had a flight and a glass of cider each. The 2 flights or tastings whichever you prefer to call it and 2 glasses were 45 dollars without tip. The woman behind the bar was very friendly. She explained everything and was very engaging. Not sure if this is the Meg that others refer to, we did not get her name. I was not expecting the ciders to be so similar to very dry wines. If you are expecting them to taste the same as the off the shelf hard ciders there is a real difference. I was also not expecting the high alcohol content. The 4 ciders offered the night we were there ranged from the low 7% to low 9% in alcohol content. I found only one of the ciders that I disliked enough not to order. The other 3 were actually pretty good. I remembered the bar from many years ago when it was located in the Blue Point restaurant on South Main in Providence. Overall it is a very small and inviting space. We will try it again at some point. read more
