First time here, we'll definitely be back!! The service is friendly, the restaurant squeaky clean, and there is a welcoming family atmosphere. Our food was prepared fresh, and was served hot. Visit the bakery! We had a hot out of the oven snickerdoodle, and took home a whole quiche. read more

I stopped by Cover's Apple Ranch on my way home from Black Oaks Casino. I am so glad I did, the food was delicious! I ordered the Club with a salad and ranch dressing. Our waitress Cherie S. was fantastic. One side of the place is the restaurant, the other they sell, pies and other things. I bought some Apple Cider and a Cheesecake! The ambiance is fun. They have patio seating as and a drive through for the food to go (sandwiches, breads, pies) as well. The location is great and kid friendly. There is a train ride you can purchase tickets for and also farm animals on site. Definitely going back. read more

A successful trip to Cover's Apple Ranch is absolute bliss. My husband stopped by yesterday and picked up 2 big gallons of their apple cider, a big box of their apple cider cookies, and a fresh loaf of their white bread. My husband cannot stop making sandwiches. You can smell the enticing aroma of deletable dough every time he opens up the package. We both had some apple cider cookies. They are delicious and dangerous. And Cover's apple cider is so clutch. Whether it's heated up with spices and wine. Drank alone. Or paired with some flavored sparkling water - it is divine. Thank you Cover's Apple Ranch for making this week extra tasty. Trust. read more

I looooooove this place! The best cookies I've ever eaten in my life came from here. The breakfast menu is so good and it is such an all around fun experience with my nieces and nephews. We love the train ride and feeding the animals in the petting zoo. read more

If you're local you know. If you haven't been then you have no idea what you're missing. The bakery is top notch. These people were "all natural" and "organic" before it was cool. Oh yeah, they sell the best pie, hands down. read more

Loved the ranch, train ride and pet farm. It's a great place for families. We had 14 in our party. The deserts were delish and the fresh apple cider was tasty. We were fortunate to see baby goats be birthed. Make sure to bring your quarters for the feed. The corn nuts are freshly roasted and tasty! read more

Always a pleasure eating at this restaurant. They are very polite and inviting along with amazing food. They serve breakfast and lunch Tuesday thru Saturday. Young children have a area to pet and see farm animals or ride on kiddie train. A great family place for breakfast. read more

Came for a late breakfast with the family. Got seated after about 10 minutes and got our food order in pretty quickly. After that it's was all downhill. It took 30 minutes for the server to check on us after getting drinks, 80 minutes for our food to come, and all of our food was room temperature and small portions. The toast wasn't really toasted, their special cinnamon roll French toast was cold hard and dry (pictured). Only once at about 60 minute wait did they come say that the kitchen is slow today. After complaining, no discount or accommodations made and I still had to wait to pay and they tried to give me the wrong ticket. As a local, I will never return read more

Cover's Apple Ranch - Cinnamon roll French toast (cold, dry, hard and flavorless) - Bakeries Near Me - Tuolumne, California

Great home style food cooked with love, such nice people make you feel warm inside and food is delicious

The train was fun. $4.50 for ages 3 and up. They allowed our dog to ride. Granddaughters enjoyed the playground. For this I would have given 4 stars. The problem was the animals. Their pens were really dirty and smelled awful. I hope they get out of their pens because they were really small and mostly cement. It made us sad to see. read more

Kindest people in the entire state of CA! Delicious apple juice! Fabulous tomatoes. Cool store with handmade everything.

So good ! Love their strawberry pie , coffee is amazing , the sandwiches are fresh and bacon is thick cut on BLTs . Animal area has a ton of cuties , I just wish their pens were kept a little cleaner . read more

I have always enjoyed my visits here, usually with my 4 kids for the last 22 years but they are grown so I brought my MIL for lunch and the food was fantastic, service was beyond expectations with Adriana and the atmosphere relaxing and tranquil. My mother in law got a Reuben and she said it was the best she ever had. Thank you for giving us a yummy lunch and peaceful afternoon read more

We've been coming up to Twain Harte area regularly over the past 9 months or so and thought I would finally check this place out. It's a little off of Hwy 108 in Tuolemne City but was easy enough to find. Loved that they were pet friendly and let you walk your doggos around. What a cute little place outside as well as inside! I indulged in a piece of their famous apple pie. I really wanted the whole pie but I really didn't need it, lol. I also purchased a small container of their apple cider (sooo good) and several of their freshly baked cookies. The pie was amazing, I waited till I got to my destination and warmed it up with some ice cream for my own a la mode! The chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookies were also very delicious! The food smelled amazing also and I hope to try the food next time. They also have gigantic chicken pot pies to go as well, talk about comfort food! The shop also has little a little gift area as well. Can't wait to come back and try more options! read more

Lunch was good. Homemade chips were good. We got apple pie and turnovers to go. The apple soda was really good too. We also liked the petting zoo and fed the goats. We would come back. It'd be a fun place to bring kids! read more

What a fun little getaway! This place is amazing!!! I visited on a Saturday around noon. It was really busy and I now know why!!! I'll start with the food and pastries, both were delightful!! My friend and I got a nice hearty club sandwich made with their fresh baked bread, along with their homemade chips. My other friend got the French dip served with au ju and a side salad! I also got the side salad and I was pleasantly surprised by their homemade ranch dressing, it was very delicious. I also got a cup of their taco soup, it had a very chili vibe to me, but it was not bad at all. We also tried a few pastries, starting with a hot apple turn over, a lemon cookie and berry pop over all were very good!! Once we finished lunch we bought a few items from their store, they sell many items such as, plain apple cider, spiced apple cider, frozen pi's, candies, corn nuts, jams, handmade soap and the list can go on! I also got a fresh baked pie that was also great! They have a train as of 10/24/2020 it was 3.50, super cute I think you go around the track several times. They have a small petting zoo, a hay stack maze and a children's play area. This was a really fun place to visit, it was easy to find and entertaining! I suggest a visit!!! read more

Here's a bit of history that takes some driving to get to. Don't even think of public transportation, you need a car to get here. Cover's Apple Ranch has been open on Cherokee Road for generations, serving and pleasing fruit lovers with a smile. Last year, the Hunny and I were at the Farmers Market in downtown Sonora. The biggest spot in the market was filled with apple pies, apple fritters, cinnamon apple cakes, apple cider, whatever you could think of, and was managed by two cute smiling Mennonite girls. After buying some of their stuff, I made it a point to take the Hunny to their ranch some day. Last weekend, that day came. We drove up the hill and were greeted by a newer farmhouse with a gift house and deli. To the right is a playground and train. And behind the counter, receiving your payment, bringing your food out, are more smiling Mennonites, bringing God's love to you in the way that He has in mind for them. The Hunny had a meaty club sandwich, bacon included, and I had a hot pastrami sandwich. A little small, but well priced, and oh so good. The horseradish and pastrami on sourdough went together perfectly. Dessert: applesauce that they made themselves, and we never tasted applesauce so good. As a side note, the table next to us had an elderly gentleman, his daughter, and her husband, and the gentleman was wearing a red "Make America Great Again" hat. So not only did I have a great lunch, I made a new friend. (I dare someone to flag this review like they did my Colonial Donuts review.) Or say you want to take the goodness home. Cover's has lots of pies, cider, snacks, cookbooks, and bric-a-brac for sale. Cover's Apple Ranch. Whether you're local or tourist, it's a lovely, homey place to visit and eat. Your kids will love it, and so will you. And management, if you're reading this: 1 Corinthians 15:58. read more

Cover's Apple Ranch - Got apple cider? - Bakeries Near Me - Tuolumne, California

Stopped by here on my way home from a few days at Black Oak/Leland's Snow Play. It reminded me a little of Cracker Barrel with the decor and the little shop they have in front of the seating area. The food was really good. I got a breakfast burrito with sausage, and it was full of flavor. The kids plates are a bit of a ripoff if you ask me. They're $10 and come with a single egg and a single slice of bacon. You are definitely better off just ordering your kids adult-sized plates. But the service was good, the food was good, and all the farm stuff/playground in the back was great for kids. I had seen on some sites that the train ride is free, but I also saw you had to get tickets (which to me indicates it's not free). Clarification on that would have been nice, but I'm not sure we would have gone on it either way. A nice little spot for breakfast if you're in the area with little ones who don't get to spend much time on farms. read more

loved their burgers and meatloaf sandwich but their homemade chips are to die for. As is their ice cold apple soda. I have to get an apple or berry turnover when ever I come. read more

We love coming there and bringing our grandkids to ride the train and eat and get a pie and take it home. Very good place and atmosphere there. read more

This is a really great place to bring family! The food was great! I loved the sandwich and salad. The apple pie a la mode is delicious! The service was a little slow but the ambiance was beautiful while we waited. It's fun to walk around and see and feed the animals in the barn. read more

Clean plac. Nice staff and good food. I wish the animals dwellings were better kept and the pig wasnt fed on the ground in its own mess. That made me sad and the the poor baby is all alone too. Cute place to take small kiddos though. read more

The coffee was delicious, the apple cinnamon-bun pancakes were delicious as were the potatoes. The "Fabulous French toast" was not. It was dry and the crust of the bread was tough. The key to a good french toast is a good soaking in the egg wash. This was barely dipped. Next time I'll get the pancakes. read more

Nice place to take the family for a meal. I went with my daughter on a field trip. It was a good time.

We stopped by for lunch a nice lunch on the patio. Hot Pastrami and French Dip sandwiches were both good choices especially the home made chips. The quiche was excellent. Don't miss trying the apple soda! Service was excellent and we got to see the train operating. read more

You're missing out if you haven't been here! Delicious food, wonderful family, friendly staff and awesome train engineer

My husband & I tried the Drive Thru for breakfast. I ordered a Latte and we were told they have an espresso machine but they don't know how to operate it so instead I ordered a coffee (which tasted like instant). My husband ordered the French Toast Plate and the syrup (Mrs. Buttersworth) was like tar, so thick and slow to pour. The bacon was great though, thick pieces with the perfect balance of crispy and chewy. I ordered the Veggie Omelet which was very cheesy, & it didn't come with mushrooms either. The Ranch Potatoes were very dry and flavorless. Overall we waited 30 minutes for the food to be brought to us in our parked car and the whole experience was average. Super friendly staff though! The property itself is beautiful and is a great place for sitting outside eating one of their treats. read more

Been here twice, both times for breakfast. First time was good, got the skillet and enjoyed it. Charming place with a. Nice little gift shop and baked goods available to buy. Most recently, we came for breakfast around 10 AM. It was busy and they said they were short staffed, but the food still took nearly an hour to come out. Three train cycles happened before we got our food. It got ridiculous. A couple of pancake plates and a couple of skillets. Pancakes were hot but skillets were lukewarm and toast appeared as if it had been sitting out for a good while. Staff was apologetic, but given the wait time and lukewarm food, the coffee should have probably been comped. Hoping this is just an off day for the staff, but was not impressed. read more

We took my daughter and her family here today. Me and my husband had been here before and enjoyed it with other family members. When we arrived it was pretty busy. We went right to do the outdoor stuff with the family. The play area with two slides and animals were a big hit. I loved seeing the old windmill actually working. We were outdoors for a bit then decided to get our train tickets. Of course we had to all ride the train. Everyone enjoyed the ride. Well then it was time for lunch and we ordered a meal to share a french dip with fries. It was served with sauce, and a pickle and a little apple sauce. Of course we got apple cider and a cherry turnover to share. Wow best french dip ever. I really enjoyed the applesauce and the whole meal. So please make a point to stop in and eat and enjoy this place with your family as we have with ours we highly recommend it. read more

This place puts Apple Hill to shame. We go to Apple Hill every year.....not anymore. This place has everything! And the restaurant is amazing- the service even better (if that's possible)! Train ride, hay maze, pumpkin patch, playground, petting Zoo, and bakery. I didn't even want to write this review because I don't want this place to blow up- but they deserve the credit! read more

We took our two daughters here and had a blast! They have an old school train ride that is quite entertaining, although our two year old was frightened by the tunnels (I think she is a little young for it just yet). Train ride departs every half hour on the weekends, and every hour during the week. Cost is about $3.50 per person over the age of 3. They also sell amazingly delicious pies. We ordered the peach pie and it was so scrumptious, I could have eaten the entire pie myself! We bought apple juice in little plastic apple receptacles, which my daughter loved. They have a few animals to see and a playground. All in all, it's a fun place to take the kids for an hour or two of family fun. People who work there are very personable. read more

Best place in town to get homemade pies, pastries, breakfast, and lunch. The place is also very clean, and the service is excellent.

During a 3 day trip to Tuolumne and surrounding areas we ate 3 meals at Covers. Some of my family had been bringing goodies backed there for years to our family functions. Finally I made it up to the area and had snd excellent French dip sandwich on a soft delicious roll along with their homemade potato chip it was delicious. The next morning before our adventure to Pinecrest Lake we stopped in for breakfast eggs, hash browns, bacon and homemade biscuits YUM! Why ruin a good thing today we stopped in for breakfast before leaving town I had biscuits and gravy, and my sister had the pancakes ... both very good but the pancake syrup thick and rich again homemade was so tasty I will get that next time that I am in the area. That's 3 for 3 or really 6 for 6 winners between us both. We also bought cinnamon swirl bread loaf to go. Great place and very nice attentive kind people work here. read more

We were visiting Family in Sonora over the weekend and we wanted to bring a little something with us. After a quick yelp search we settled on baked goods and it seemed like Cover's was the place for that. We got so much more than a bakery. This is the cutest little place! They serve food (the breakfast looked amazing), baked goods, gift shop,train, park and a petting zoo. We settled on the Mile High Apple Pie and oh my God. It was SO good! Fresh baked from the oven with a perfect buttery crust and full of cinnamon apples. It was so good that we brought the leftovers home (which was 4 hours away). The Apple cider is one of the best I've ever had and I live near a Apple ranch that is known for their cider. I am so glad we found this place! We'll be back for sure! read more
