“ this is a true Long Island East End treasure. the BEST hard ciders you will ever taste, no contest. same goes for the cinnamon sugar coated freshly fried apple cider donuts. my advice: take at LEAST 2 64oz growlers home, and HANG ONTO THEM! you get a discount when you bring them back to refill them! simply one of my favorite places on all of Long Island. ”
“ It’s fall so why not! This place is quaint. We chose to do the flight of ciders, that was fun. Had warm apple cider donuts and the cookie. Everything was tasty! And it was gorgeous day to sit outdoors. There’s also indoor seating. The line for drinks and food can be pretty time consuming but it’s worth the wait. I’d say call ahead of time if you want to go Apple picking as well because when we went (06Oct24) there wasn’t any picking at this location. However the other location you were able to pick apples. Just so that you can coordinate accordingly. This was a drive but certainly worth it. Everything is reasonable priced. 1/2 donuts for 6?! Awesome! 6 Flight tasting for 14 what a steal! The staff and everyone in general is very friendly. Will be back! ”
“ What an absolutely beautiful place. You go inside and get to pick from mouth watering flavored cider ( I picked up the apple cider donuts too) then go find a seat in the huge yard to enjoy your delicacies. We sat out by the fire pit and damn...it was a perfect day. I didn't want to leave. 10 stars for Woodside Orchards ... ”
“ Best cider doughnuts in the North Fork fresh and Nut free!! . Great hard cider and very nice staff. ... ”
“ Awesome hard cider selections from a super sweet selecting to dry to a tad sweet to flavored ones like cinnamon and a ginger! Plus they offer delicious chewy giant chocolate chip cookies and other baked goodness too. Staff is really cool and love that this spot is family owned and has ample outdoor seating and parking. So far we've tried the blackberry - mango, the tradional sweet apple and the cinnamon and all were perfect! Loved their reasonably priced flight option of 4-6 cider choices but don't forget you need to buy some food to consume them there. Definitely worth a return for years and years to come! ”
“ Such a nice and cozy place. Cider flavors are delicious and their cider doughnuts are warm and fresh. The homemade pies are also wonderful. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Place is clean and they constantly follow all COVID sanitation protocols. A must visit while out east. ”
“ Went for donuts and cider. Can not rave enough! Cider tasting (6 small tasting glasses) and six donuts cost us 18. A friend and I stopped here for donuts and cider. She told me Woodside Orchard had the best donuts out East, and she did not lie! We waited about 20 minutes on a very long line for service which was definitely worth it. Donuts were served straight out of the fryer. They were crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. We even laughed about how much I was enjoying my donut. Cider was good! I am not an aficionado, but we certainly did enjoy tasting the six flavors of cider. In terms of Covid, all the outdoor seating tables were well-spaced. This unfortunately made it very hard to find a table to sit at, so taking cider and donuts to go might be a good option. We were not allowed to sit at tables with cider without ordering food, and all patrons who did not have food we’re wearing masks on premises. ”
“ I've been going here for quite a few years. I stumbled upon it one day on a motorcycle ride when they first opened and I've been going back every year ever since. Their cider is absolutely phenomenally delicious and I do mean every flavor that they make the people are great. Their cider donuts ought to die for ”
