    The pizza at Windy Brow Farms blew me away. It's cooked in a brick oven outdoors what could be better. I ordered the Fungi one - little drops of lemon zest and cheese dollops - what a nice touch. I devoured the whole thing by myself. To start I had a beat salad and finished off which a giant scoops of ice cream. You get the theme, right? Pig out on amazing handcrafted foods and enjoy the nature. Being here at sunset was also a treat. Loved their playlist, it was cool and unexpected. If I could give 10 stars I would.

    Searched all Summer for my favorite ice cream spot and this is it! Better than The Bent Spoon. Better than Cliffs. Better than Milk, Sugar, Love. THE BEST! I just wish they would work on their customer service!! Peak Summer time, there's a line for the one window. Today, on a cool day in the Fall, 2 people in front of me, I probably waited 20 minutes. There was staff back there but only ONE guy was working it. He was the only one making coffee and the only one scooping the ice cream. Why couldn't the other staff chatting it up back there scoop ice cream? It's a bad look. I wish I didn't love their ice cream so much.

    Great experience here. Very reasonably-priced apple picking. You purchase bags in the store ranging from $14-$32. No entrance fees or mandatory bag purchase per person. YOu can purchase one bag for a group...which was a welcomed option and alternative to other farms requiring individuals to purchase bags and making apple picking cost $100+ per family. I like the no-frills approach not throwing in tons of "attractions" and grouping them into an all-inclusive ticket costing $30/per person. Kudos for NOt going this route. You can walk to the apple picking areas or take the tractor. The trees had adequate apples on them...though I was a bit saddened to see the tons of apples on the ground which will likely be thrown out. I hope those coming to pick are mindful to pick only what they plan to take...I know many farms and orchards stress this in an effort to minimize waste. The orchard row are clearly labeled. There was a small pumpkin patch area where you can buy pumpkins by the pound. The store really stood out...lots of options: apples, honey, ice cream, meat, sauces, jams and a ton of baked goods. Bread, pies, cupcakes, muffins and other pastries. We for a variety of baked goods and all of them were great. Prices were fair for a farm store of this quality. One highlight of the visit was the coffee and ice cream window on the side. A wide variety of some really interesting ice cream flavors. The prices were also pretty reasonable. ($4-8 depending on number of scoops) A great variety of coffee and latte flavors as well. All staff we encountered were very nice. Great operation...keep up the good work.

    Expensive donuts.  At least have a sample out.

    Well, the reviews don't lie for this place. I was optimistic and decided to go here anyway. My husband and I were really disappointed. I thought this farm would have more things to do. We took a 1 hour drive to come here thinking that this place was going to be amazing . Well we decided to go inside the shop and wow the prices were very expensive. The donuts were a 6 pack for I think $7.00. I would have at least some samples out so you can try them. We decided to leave and get some homemade ice cream. The only good thing about this spot was that the ice cream was amazing. The donuts were alright. I would have warmed up the donuts a little bit so they were so hard, and they tasted alright. The views are also beautiful as well. Other than that, we were really disappointed we thought there was going to be more to this pace.

    G First time here. Heard do many good things about it. Heard they had Honey Lavender ice cream along Taylor Ham & French Toast ice cream. Was WELL WORTH the trip. Thought would be bigger. Prices were a bit high I thought. But would definitely take a 35 min drive up there again.... Had to try the apple cider donuts as well. Awesome...

    Lots of kids here today. Oh it's a lovely full day and just happens to be a holiday and there is a line to enjoy the variety of ice creams they sell, one being Madagascar vanilla bean ice cream. There's a large apple orchard, with various types of apples that one picks by paying for a bag. No weighing like other farms I have frequented. The store is located in the front. I feel the prices are a bit high in here. Homemade pies are $21-25.

    Those are some freshly made cider donuts

    Perfectly delightful time here. I came in the morning for the pumpkin spice latte I saw it posted on their social media. While I was in their shop they had freshly made pies. The pies were actually warm! Right out of the oven. The freshly made cider donuts too I definitely picked up some of those. They had all kinds of apples for sale and they give you descriptions of each kind. This was wonderful to see the bio that goes along with the different types of apple!! Let me say another very fantastic surprise I have definitely took advantage of was the freshly baked bread. They were so many different kinds. But let me say that I really enjoyed my spinach scone. It was very delicious and if I had a ukulele with me I would've played a song for it. (^.^) We dropped our items off in the car and then walked around to the side where they had ice cream for sale because my friend needed to have French toast with Taylor ham flavored ice cream. I never heard of such a thing and my friend really enjoyed the ice cream! (^^) While I was here I saw they had here it's available and folks were dressed up to get family pictures taken! What a great idea. (^.^) The ladies that work here are so helpful and so friendly. I really had such a pleasurable experience here!! I'm a big fan of that spinach scone. I'll probably dream about it. I definitely want to come back here a lot. Yum

    One of the best places to get apple cider donuts!! They were so good, moist and cakey! Balance of flavor and sweetness was perfect. They sell it for $6 for 6 pieces in a bag. Worth the calories! Lol Aside from the donuts, the sourdough they had was good too along with the ice creams. I tried the taylor ham/french toast and honey lavender and both were VERY good! I could finish that pint by myself if I had no self control ehem haha lots of good things to check in their shop. We really came here for apple picking though but the shop experience kinda overshadowed that a bit. I loved that we can get a ride back and forth from the apple picking area to the main entrance as it did get a little muddy from the rain when we went. They provide picking poles which were convenient and the apples all looked healthy. There wasnt much at the pumpkin area so we skipped that. Overall, it was a fun experience despite the gloomy rainy weather. Oh and they are dog friendly!! Happy to have stopped by.

    Do they have coffee? Do they have tables inside to sit down?

    They have delicious coffee. No inside seating though. They set up tables outside when it's nice.

    Do they sell fresh apple pie?

    Yes! They pride themselves in their exceptional pies and I'm certain that they use their own apples!

    This is a great place to go apple picking (aka paying someone for the right to do manual labor), and spend a nice country day with the family.

I visited over the weekend and was able to pick raspberries. The staff member who we spoke with wasn't sure if there would be enough to pick, but to my surprise there were a ton of ripe raspberries just waiting to be picked. I was easily able to fill up a carton. I just missed out on blueberries and blackberries, so I'll have to make a point to go back earlier next year. There were also baby pumpkins growing, so I'm sure in no time they'll be super busy for pumpkin picking. I also spied some jalepenos, peppers and eggplants growing in the fields. At the farm stand there is a huge selection of fresh flowers, fruits and veggies. I got a bunch of fresh red, yellow and green tomatoes. They were perfectly ripe and made the most delicious salad. Unfortunately I do not live near Valley View - otherwise I'd buy produce here all the time. But, I will say that it is worth it to come for the u-pick. I'll have to keep tabs on what's in season next year so that I don't miss out!

    Lot's of different things to critique so I'll try to categorize…read more Pro's: Friendly Staff, Accommodating (Depending upon the staff) and some decent offerings. Some of the pound cakes and brownies are tasty, pies, some cake and cupcakes. Cons: Not consistent with lunch menu items and what sides are supposed to come with meals - all depends upon the staff or if they are running low on sides. Breads are sometimes under-cooked and just plain doughy. "Fresh baked" cookies are too heavy on the sugar and sadly not made with butter. Andover location is in serious need of paint, a new window sill outside and a cleaning! No clue if they use preservatives or fillers. To start with, Café Pierrot has a lunch menu which states what sides, toppings, or ingredients are included on a salad, sandwich, soup or wrap. Depending upon whom is making your lunch it will vary each time and many times NOT include what it is supposed to on their menu. All wraps are supposed to have potato salad, pasta salad and greens. Sometimes you may get an average portion of these sides, sometimes just a heaping spoonful, other times you may only be given one or two of the sides. One of the wraps states "with EXTRA potato salad". Uh, no. Never happens - why have a menu then? If you order one of their salads, good luck getting what is supposed to be part of that dish. And they are very skimpy on the greens. I've stopped ordering salads, because its just not worth it when you DON'T get everything that you are supposed to! Some days you order soup to go and they will include several slices of their bread, with another young lady you get nothing. Or, if they are running low on the sides, someone may skimp, but to be quite honest, why cheat the customer? Mind you, you are still paying FULL price for these dishes. Maybe the staff needs a refresher on what it states on their menus and to stay consistent! Walnut Coconut Bars - twice now we've tried these, which COULD be delicious - first time the walnuts in this bar were stale. I thought, well, maybe it's just this one time and I questioned to myself whether any of the staff tastes the walnuts to insure freshness or are there expiration dates on these things? We tried again almost 2 months later - yep - same thing. Entire bar is riddled with stale walnuts. WHY??? That's unacceptable. Moving on to the condition of this establishment. Not trying to be mean, but you walk up to the little building where they have the Café (they own several buildings on this property) and you cannot miss the completely rotted window sills in front - why would you let this go for so long? And you just celebrated your 30th Anniversary? Also, there is some sort of antique mill sitting in front - rusted to high Heaven - again, it can't be there for any kind of décor because at this point its an eyesore. On the latest visit - since we were waiting for so long for an order to be done (which we called ahead and gave it MORE than ample time to finish) I happened to look towards the corner that leads into back area where they prep and bake and maybe 20 large bags of flour were stacked against the wall - next to them some lawn and leaf type trash bag dangling over something and I looked above and there were dark cobwebs dangling from the ceiling over the bags of flour and trash bag. Not appealing at all. Not to mention, the walls looked dirty and all around it's in need of cleaning and fresh paint. Just makes me wonder what else is lurking in the back where they prepare the food when the entrance to the place is rotting and the place needs to be painted and cleaned? Does the owner ever take a look or care? They offer so called fresh baked cookies if you call at least 30 minutes ahead (their policy, not mine). OK, we tried this and when I called I was told it will be about 30-45 minutes. Fine, no problem. We arrived an hour later, figuring it gave them plenty of time to prepare the cookies. When we got there I was told, oh, they are just going in the oven, so it should be about 5 minutes. NO. Try 30-40 minutes later of waiting. Gee, thanks. To top this all off, after waiting so long for something that should have been ready - they dumped all these large (warm) cookies on top of each other with NO wax paper in between! If you even attempted to dislodge one, it would crumble. Geeze, after all that and you end it with sloppy packaging? And it's not like they were all the same cookie type. Lastly, I'm not adverse to sugar, but when the flavor is overpowered by just sugar, it's no good. And we tasted no butter, which homemade cookies should be made with real butter and these had none that could be detected. HUGE disappointment and would never order these cookies again. We keep going back, hoping for better quality and service, but it's hit or miss.

    Absolutely by FAR the best place in northern NJ. We have bought many cakes from here from over the…read moreyears and have also been extremely happy. They are all delicious.
