I honestly thought I had already reviewed Delicious Orchards, but apparently not. This place is the cutest grocery store ever. It's not your typical grocery store so you won't find all of your favorite brand name items; however, you will not leave empty handed. I highly recommend their apple cider donuts. They have plain, powdered sugar, and cinnamon powdered sugar. Out of the three, my favorite is the cinnamon powdered sugar, but since I don't live in the area and am not here often, I always pick up a pack of each - don't judge. They have so many other baked goods as well including pies, cookies, and more. I have tried some of their cookies but I forget which ones. They have fresh apple cider in the produce area for sampling, although I think it was put on hold during the pandemic so not sure if it's back yet. They have fresh peanut butter including a butterscotch peanut butter which is very good. If I did live in the area, I'd shop here often as everything including their produce and other items looks super fresh. They also have a window out front where you can order a few meal items. I had a breakfast item once but I forget what it was - I just remember liking it. And on a number of occasions I have gotten their cider to go -it's delicious! Also be sure to follow them on social media - their videos are hilarious! read more

What can I say about delicious orchards that hasn't been said yet? We love anything baked/made here. Their pies and cider donuts are to die for. Ot feels like there are a bunch or grandmas in the back baking all the yummy goodies. Their produce is top quality and always great. The meats/deli are premium. The employees are great and super helpful. The store is very inviting and there's a homey feel when you walk in. They also have awesome gift baskets if needed. We have bought many cookie baskets here before and always got compliments on how great they tasted. Delicious orchards is. Great place to go! I suggested anyone and everyone to visit! read more

I LOVE the apple crumb pie! I always request it for special occasions like my birthday. I picked one up Christmas week to have for Christmas dessert. The crumb top is plentiful and thick! It's my favorite part! My family thoroughly enjoyed this pie-the apple is not too sweet-it's just perfect! The store had plenty of pies available. Thank you so much! This pie was $17 as of 12/20/24.. We will be back! read more

Powdered apple cider donuts taste like mildew. At $8 for 6 it's a travesty that they taste bad. Everything from bakery to fruits and vegetables is overpriced. Wouldn't care so much if the donuts tasted good as it was a nice ride on a Saturday afternoon. Throwing out donuts. read more

This is my first time in the actual store, but I have had their pies before. I like the curb appeal from the parking lot, there were outdoor plants and decorative holiday decor you could purchase. There were a variety of mums, pumpkins and other fall flowers. I entered the store and the glass baker's case featuring muffins and mini pie tarts were on my left, cider donuts in the middle and cookies on the right wall. There was a small stand of customer service and then the other departments were deeper into the store. It gave small businesses flair with high quality products and many customers were in and out so I can see the popularity. read more

So disappointed. Have been going here for 50 years and bakery quality going down. Bought the chocolate chip cookies and instead of the crisp cookies I've known, these were so stale and had no taste. The blueberry muffins were also stale. The pecan Danish were wonderful as were the dinner rolls. The fruit was great but the Old Monmouth candy chocolate covered raisins were at least a year old, tasted rancid. I guess Thursday visitors don't receive quality food. read more

I have only gone to delicious orchards for pies and desserts as I have never gone to pick fruit. The pies are very good, I have never had a bad one. Apple, Berry, and strawberry Rhubarb are all excellent choices. The store is tremendous with chocolates, fresh breads, deli, vegetables, cheeses etc. It is definitely worth a visit. read more

Delicious Orchards - Merry Christmas - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

Every visit is a treat. Produce offerings are vast and top quality (try finding cardoons or zucchini blossoms elsewhere, it's not easy!), the free cider jug is great for a pick me up, and can I say 'cider donuts'? The staff are well trained, friendly, and helpful. Call or email a question and you get a rapid response. And I admire that they take great care of their staff, and they in turn do so for me. It can be a zoo during the holidays, but that's a testament to their popularity. read more

COLTS NECK: this was a special treat; Delicious Orchards has outdoor tables that are dog friendly!! Delicious Orchards is a country market famous for their fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods, and they even have a deli, prepared foods, grocery items, seasonal items, and gifts! You can have a friend go inside to pickup some food and then enjoy it at their outdoor dining area with picnic tables and rocking chairs. There is also a fritter shack outside and open on weekends. Reminiscing about our visit makes us want to have some fresh pecan pie and an apple cider donut! It's a beautiful place that every New Jerseyan and visitor must experience! Located right off of Route 34 and nearby Route 537, Route 18, Colts Neck StillHouse and Source Brewing! read more

Delicious Orchards - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

A food store that charges way too much just for using labels like organic. The prices are high! I get that the items sold are organic, but I bought an organic pack of Driscoll blackberries in Brooklyn for $1 a pack and here, that same exact pack is $8! And they're both organic! No idea what such a hefty up charge is for. A loaf of bread is $6! I get artisanal bread in Brooklyn for $4-5 and it's a bigger loaf. The crowds are massive on a Sunday afternoon in October. A live band is playing outdoors and customers are enjoying the music and the weather by lounging on picnic style tables. The line for Apple cider snakes halfway around the store. read more

Tried their Apple Slush with Custard + Apple Cider Donuts + Bottled Apple Cider. The line for their drinks is quite long on the weekends so expect a decent wait. The Slush was delicious and was at least worth our wait. If you aren't a huge fan of waiting I would just go inside their market to buy their packaged Apple Cider. Their products inside were amazing as well. Not all their products looked as great as the others so be a wise shopper. The Apple Fritter line looked quite bare compared to the Apple Slush Cafe line, and after looking at them and their price, I can see why. The Cider Donuts come in a nice bag packaging that really helped them stay fresh/soft longer than most farms that sell you it in a thin paper bag. Really enjoyed their indoor products as well as their cafe drink. read more

I shop at Delicious Orchards on a regular basis, but I'm very disappointed with their chicken cutlets, from the Deli/Meat section of the store. I've purchased their cutlets for many years, but the quality is definitely not the same. The chicken they used to sell (either the 6 oz. or 3 oz) were consistent in size, flavorful and moist when cooked. But they must be using a different vendor, because the chicken cutlets they currently sell are inconsistent in thickness, flavorless, chewy/nervy, just not the same. They don't even look like the cutlets they sold in the past. Shoppers expect the same quality poultry, meats, ingredients, so please Delicious Orchards, don't substitute with an inferior product. read more

We purchased a bag of powdered cider donuts, a bag of plain cider donuts and 4 gallons of Apple Cider from Delicious Orchards. WHO THE HELL IS SAYING These donuts are good and it's their signature item?!? ..because these were TERRIBLE!! They were DRY & Tasted like SH*T! It had a weird fake after taste, I can't put my finger on it. We sampled their apple cider which wasn't bad so we've decided to get 4 gallons...we put them in our fridge and 3 days later (still unopened) we heard a big BANG in our fridge as I was about to open it, thank God I didn't because THEY EXPLODED, cider everywhere, 2 were still bloated and had a tiny hole where the cider was seeping! I looked online to see if that was normal and it said "If the pasteurization process was not 100% effective or if yeast was accidentally introduced during bottling, the yeast can re-ferment. A faulty batch or one that is not pasteurized correctly can still ferment and explode in the cooler temperatures of a refrigerator. Overly pressurized bottles as "bottle bombs". These were in their fridge as well AND it also says "Shake Well"...they've been in our fridge only for 3 days unopened and untouched. So I don't understand why they exploded?? Their items are pretty expensive, so it pissed us off, that everything we bought ended up being a WASTE of money because we had to throw them all out because I've read it's not ok to drink them after they've exploded because as it says online "No, you should not drink apple cider after it has exploded, even if it was unopened because the explosion indicates the contents have spoiled." So we won't be returning here, it literally left a bad taste in our mouth. read more

My new favorite place to visit! Felt like a kid in a candy store with so many things to choose from. Apple turnover, chocolate thing, apple cider float, apple cider donuts, pies, everything was delicious!! The only thing I didn't like was the papaya, it wasn't sweet Be careful because it's easy to run up your bill here, but worth the money. Will definitely be back to get more goodies. read more

Delicious Orchards - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

HAN SOLO SEASON!!! ... dont get me wrong this place may be the "best thing evaaa" to many but truth be told it's just a local grocery store masked as a farm to table orchard market?. Do they have a great selection of baked goods... Yes!... do they have small batch grocery items... Yes!.... Is it a farm or a local co-op store.. NO! They sell great baked goods and normal deli treats/prepped foods BUT i would not weather the storm of parking or dealing dodging selfies and pictures to grab an apple pie. Unfortunately Jeff Bezos and his Whole Foods store puts forward equally the same product and possible at a cheaper price. Once the pumpkin spice oat late season is over it's worthy to stop and grab a few items but not worthy of a trip nor "must". read more

Delicious Orchards - Apple Crumb - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

We began going to DO around 50 years ago when they were relatively new. All of their produce and baked items were the best. We moved from the area 12 years ago, and recently returned to south Jersey. My daughter was in the Colts Neck area yesterday and stopped with friends. While there she called and asked me what I'd like. I told her the pumpkin pie, plain cider and powered sugar doughnuts which had always been our family's favorites. I tried some of the pie and one plain doughnut today... SO disappointed!! The doughnut tasted like the fat either used in it on to fry it while and pumpkin pie was way sweeter than it used to be as well as wet. That's not even mentioning the highly inflated prices for the baked goods. Sorry DO, times have definitely changed... QC is not being adhered to these days and your prices are through the roof!! Definitely will not purchase from DO again. Prior customers are not missing anything... read more

We've been getting holiday pies here for 30 years. Something has changed. The chocolate crème pie is not what it used to be. Whipped crème especially was very different. The blueberry pies are now mostly juice vs berries. Their fruit pies were never my favorite, always thought they used too much sugar vs others. The do still do eclairs, cookies and donuts well. read more

Delicious Orchards - My $9 Italian sub. Yes there is an identical other half. Never would expect this of them. - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

This long time favorite has stood the test of time with good reason! It's always a treat to visit this place Most everything here is of superb quality. Upon entering you will be assaulted by the magnificent pie counter offering about 10 different types,all of which will knock you out! My fav is the apple crumb ... but then.... There's a few others I live lol As you continue on you will find a small but elegant meat market of intense quality! Great cuts of beef here. Across the isle is seafood less appealing but fine The real winners here is the produce and confectionery delights which make it very hard for anyone dieting to resist. If you've never been you Must go read more

Delicious Orchards - Apple Cider Slush - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Colts Neck, New Jersey

Every time we are back in NJ we go to Delicious Orchards. We drove from NY to MD so naturally rerouted to pop in to DO. Apple Cider samples in pointy cups never get old. The sweetest Jersey Corn, fresh apple cider donuts, homemade ricotta, squash blossoms, and artichokes are our staples and they are consistently perfect. Simple, fresh, healthy food leaves little room to cover mistakes. No worries, Delicious Orchards is flawless every single time. I'm driving 5 hours to Asbury Park next week and will absolutely take the extra 30 minutes to stock up (again) so so so so so good!!!! read more

First, I want to start by saying this place is beautiful, the layout the amount of products that they have available is eye catching . One of my favorite Youtubers that does videos recently did a video at this location and ever since I saw it I wanted to try it. Shout you to Nu Yawk channel ! So I did a tour of the place I wanted to check it all out. I was amazed by the selection that they have from pies to meats to pastries to cakes you name it, everything that you could possibly want whether you're hungry or you have a sweet tooth. I decided to get two types of cider donuts. One was powdered one with cinnamon. I also got a full apple crumb pie that I wanted to take home and split with the family. As far as the cider donuts, I thought they were good from a scale of 1 to 10. I would probably give them a 6 they weren't as good as I expected them to be but they were good. When I got home we cut into the apple crumb pie Again I would also give that a 6 I found that it was a little dry, and it lacked flavor, and the consistency of the apples was a little hard. I would definitely want to try their other items maybe I'm just being picky I don't know . However I would highly recommend going and taking a look at their amazing selection! read more

I've been coming to Delicious Orchards since I was a little girl. They make the best fresh Apple Cider, Apple Cider Donuts, and Pies of all kinds. This place has changed over the years for the better. They have expanded and grown into much more then a simple market. Delicious Orchards is a one stop shopping gourmet store that is especially appealing if you're a foodie, or your just like quality goods. They have a Produce,Bakery, Cheese Dept, Deli, Seafood Dept, Prepared Foods, Coffee & Tea Bar where they sell over 15 types of coffees. Pasta and sauces. They sell Candy, Gourmet Groceries, Gift Baskets, and Cafe, and a Juice Bar. Delicious Orchards allows you to sample there fresh apple cider. I really love coming here and spending a couple of hours getting great gourmet treats. It's best to come during the week. On the weekends it gets really, really busy and packed. There is a huge parking lot, but it too can get full on the weekends. People come from all over to shop here. The staff is well trained and very friendly and knowledgeable. Once you're done shopping, you can go next-door there's a brewery and a distillery. When I was there I got their mixed berry pie, apple pie, horseradish pickles, some custom cut steaks along with their Apple cider, and apple cider donuts. I also picked up some fresh coffee and great produce. It's definitely worth the trip. read more

This place is wonderful. I have been coming here since I was a kid. Since I have moved from NJ I make it a point to make a stop by. The produce is second to none. The baked goods are some of the best you can in NJ let alone the tri-state area. The apple cider and apple cider donuts are incredible. Over the years they have added a quick service food options. Hot dogs, burgers, pannis etc. All tasty quick options. read more

Decent place, been coming here for a while now. Produce is definitely on the higher price side so be careful. But the apple cider is really good. The staff is always a hit or a miss. One time I had a cashier who was very condescending and rude. Also sometimes the pies aren't the best. Would recommend though because of the atmosphere and cider. read more

Can't beat the selection and quality of their products! Highly recommended for fruits, vegetables and bakery items!

I've grown up eating Delicious Orchards' apple cider donuts. They were delicious when I was a child, and now that my palette has matured.. they're still DELICIOUS! I always have to purchase a minimum of two bags of donuts for myself whenever I visit. Their apple cider and pies are just as good! In the summers, they also offer a apple cider slush (which can be topped off with ice cream!). There's a produce section that is always neatly stock with a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables that are great in quality. And a bakery with lots of pastries, a chocolate section, and a little corner for coffee. You can sample their coffee, and sometimes there are samples of the produce. This place is about an hour away from where I live, but every fall, I always make it a point to come here at LEAST once. :) read more

Overall, I liked this orchard but was a bit underwhelmed. I thought there would have been more housemade items . There were a few sections but the selections were repetitive. The grounds itself outside were small, but nice to check out. The apple cider donuts were okay. I felt they were a bit dry and needed more flavor. The apple sauce cake with frosting and nuts was very tasty. I felt this was my favorite item that I ordered. It had the most flavor and was unique. The honey roasted peanut butter was very good. You can really taste the honey in each bite. However, the peanut butter seemed to get hard within a week. Note to self, use it right away! Coconut custard pie was decent. My favorite part about it was how creamy the filling was. The piece crust itself was light and flakey. read more

My wife is from NJ and her Grandparents live in Colts Neck about 5 minutes from Delicious Orchards. I was blown away the first time I walked through a few years ago. Our family has since moved to NJ and we are about 1.5 hours away now, but it never stops us from visiting to pick up some amazing goodies. You can have your pick of delicious treats, fruits, vegetables, pasta, coffee, and ready to order items off the grill. My favorite area is the pastry section as soon as you walk in the doors. I am weak when it comes to cannoli's. Some amazing treats to try: homemade Dutch apple pie, apple cider donuts, chocolate chip cookies, cannoli's, chocolate tarts, pasta salad, and a pesto chicken panini from the outside grill. I am extremely excited to come back down for the winter to see the orchard glowing in white. There are shirts and hats for sale as well. I purchased a shirt 2 years ago and it is still my favorite shirt and still in great condition :). read more

OMG we moved to the area about a year ago and have been wondering why we have not been here sooner?! Made our first trip out here in September and have been back 5 times since! We've purchased numerous pies, apple crumb and pumpkin being our favorites. The cider donuts and cookies are great too. Almond toffee is amazing!! We've also got the burrata almost every time. We've purchased numerous cookie and pretzel platters as gifts. After shopping we enjoy sitting outside and getting the apple cider slushie with ice cream and some food. Our favorites have been the Italian hot dog and the chicken and pesto panini. Can't wait to be back again! read more
