Super cute spot with lots of unique cider options and great cornbread/desserts! We tried the Funkhouse, Sparkling Cab Franc, Fruit of the Bloom, and Persici (in order from dry to sweet). My favorites were the Fruit of the Bloom which is infused with ginger as well as the Funkhouse. I liked how crisp the funkhouse was and I loved the ginger note in fruit of the bloom. The others were okyay too, persici was very sweet but paired nicely with the ginger hazelnut baklava which was incredible! I am allergic to pistachios, so I loved that I could eat their baklava! We also tried the cornbread with strawberry and jalapeno butter- absolutely incredible. I am from the south and have had a lot of cornbread but this truly stands out. It came out warm with a slight crunch from the crust while maintaining the perfect crumb inside. Just crumbly enough and not too try! I also really enjoyed the jalapeno and strawberry butters- you can tell they use high quality butter, they almost reminded me of goat cheese. I preferred the jalapeno butter a tad more but both were great! The exterior is beautiful- the views are very nice. I would highly recommend coming on a warm day and sitting outside. We initially sat on the balcony but moved due to the bees. The tables underneath the white tent were shaded and bee-free. Service was pretty quick- our ciders came out almost immediately. We had to wait ~10-15 minutes for the cornbread though, but I didn't mind especially given it was warm! Overall, I would highly recommend!
Rustic, somewhat isolated house solidly built. It's excellent for souvenirs (jams, butter, spirits, and of course, cider). Prices aren't the best, but considering everything is made in-house, I'd say you're getting decent value. Houses about 25 people for seating comfortably. I'd suggest trying a flight (4 samples) of cider. Can't go wrong with anything but we went with the sweet cider flight. We ordered the pulled pork, choripan, soup, turkey pesto melt, and farmers salad, along with an immunity (ginger) cocktail. We liked the soup, melt and pulled pork, but would pass on the choripan and farmers salad, esp since all meals came with the same salad anyway. While I don't think you should go here just for the food, it's nice to grab some cider before heading off on a hike and enjoying the natural scenery.
If you like cider, you need to check this place out. They have SO many options! They also have farm to table food! You order at the counter and then they call you when everything is ready. The ambiance is like a chill winery.
We had a very pleasant visit eating and drinking outside under the tent even though it was 90 degrees outside. A constant breeze off the lake kept it comfortable in the shade. We did two different flights. The House flight the Nerd flight. Standouts were Fruit of the Bloom and Funkhouse. We got the Meat and Cheese Charcuterie board, adding on a bowl of olives. The two best things on the board were the beet hummus and the onion bacon jam. This was a perfect amount of food for two people for a light lunch. You order the drinks and food and you pick up the drinks at the end of the counter. You're given a buzzer for the food to pick it up when it's ready. You also will need to bus your own table when you leave.
I genuinely didn't expect to love Finger Lakes Cider House this much. This was technically my first (or maybe second?) cider house experience, and it fully converted me. I went as my girlfriend's plus one for her club's senior event, and it turned out to be one of the most wholesome and vibe-filled outings I've had in a while. I started off with their daily soup in a bowl - which sounds basic, but absolutely wasn't. It was a ginger sesame squash soup that somehow tasted both fancy and comfortingly familiar, like a dish from an Asian café that actually knows what it's doing. The ambiance was impeccable. Cozy indoor seating, beautiful outdoor space, even on a rainy day. We also shared the sweet flight and although I don't clearly remember the others, the Honeyoye was the clear winner. It's exactly what you want cider to taste like - refreshing, smooth, and zero weird aftertaste. I've also heard from friends (aka Max) the food's consistently good and the portions are generous. Honestly, Finger Lakes earned its 5/5. Already planning my return arc!!
Loved all the different ciders offered here! I ended up doing a small flight and also ordered a charcuterie board to share. Really liked the outdoor area since we were visiting with our kids and they had space to run around.
This place had the most perfect vibes. I was just expecting to drink some cider here, but it was so much more than that. We stayed for hours. It was a Friday so they had live music. We ordered some jerk chicken barbecue even though we weren't hungry and were so glad we did. They had a strawberry field and expansive views beyond. This was probably the most memorable part of my trip to the Finger Lakes.
AMAZING!!! I'll be dreaming about this place until I can make the trip back. Organic food, farm to table. I got the pesto tomato grilled cheese sandwich and came with a side salad. My friend got the bbq pulled pork sandwich! All so very yummy! We split the small cider flight and left with 4 bottles of cider 10/10
We stayed nearby and after several trips past their driveway we quickly decided to divert plans for a tasting. It was a hot day so we enjoyed their interior AC and avoided wandering the grounds even though they looked beautiful. It's a gravel parking lot and you enter into a rustic barn structure. I believe you had lake views in the distance but this place sits atop an adjacent hillside. We sampled their fresh salads, grilled cheese sandwich, fresh breads and various ciders. The staff were really great and we had a wonderful time here. We brought back several bottles and each time we open one we remember our visit fondly. Sadly, I didn't get any food photos but everything here was fresh and well done. I'm looking forward to visiting in the future. Finger Lakes Cider House rules!!!
Well, we visited on Columbus Day weekend with great fall weather. So it was packed and the wait to get in was 10 minutes and then 30 minutes for food. In spite of that - a good visit. Very imaginative cider flights and decent upscale bar food. Damages with tip ($88) and purchase of 6 bottles of cider was $116 (10% discount).
Everything here is fire! I'm more of a dry apple cider fan so I definitely went for the Fruit of Bloom! To-die-for! If you a vinegar fan, then you will like their salads with beets and the cheese board with carrots, pickles, and beets. The cheese left more to be desired but I wouldn't think this place would be great for that. The pesto turkey melt was ok, but would have been better with pastrami. I thought their emphasis on organic was a bit overdone (organic doesn't meant healthier or better.)
Found this place on the way to the falls and so glad we did. Food was flavorful and fresh, I got the grilled cheese and the tomato soup, boyfriend got a special I think it was some kind of pesto sandwich. Would definitely come back if we were in the area.
My friends and I came here around 5pm on a Saturday for drinks and a midday meal. The inside is super cozy and has a very warm ambiance. I had the house flight. The Pioneer Pippin and the Honeoye were my favorites. We also shared the Field and Farm cheese and meat platter, which came with bread, cheese, cured meats, and a few jams/spreads. It was the perfect size for the three of us. Overall, I really liked the vibe here. Everything seemed very cohesive.

Really great spot, I enjoyed everything about Finger Lakes Cider House. The grounds are well kept & nice, I enjoyed seeing the animals outside. There's inside and outside seating available. I tried their tomato soup & largest charcuterie board option with a non-alcoholic mocktail drink. Everything was fabulous. Fresh ingredients, good variety of flavors, nice presentation, good portion size. My husband accidentally spilled his cider & within seconds someone was coming to help him clean up, someone took his glass & gave him another cider to replace what was lost. Really nice gesture and appreciated the service we received here. Definitely recommend this spot if you're visiting the finger lakes or want a date night spot. read more

Went on a day trip to Seneca Falls and was looking for places that looked interesting to stop on the way, and this fit the bill. A farm-to-table eatery and cider house with a ton of ciders to choose from, or you can order a cocktail. Great seating options inside and out. We were so sad we had already eaten, because they have a huge smoker on site and do pulled pork sammies on a daily basis as well as on the weekend all kinds of bbq, including ribs, house made chorizo and sides. My friend and I both tried the flight, and we both ordered different ciders so we could try each other's. We especially liked the strawberry infused one best (fragaria) with the cidre blanc coming in second. We also learned that there is live music on Fridays with the bbq, and there is a huge tent with tons of seating for large crowds. Service was wonderful, although we did come on a nonbusy weekday. Definitely a great spot for the area. read more
Finger Lakes Cider House offers a great farm-to-table escape up north with clear V+ and GF labels. The Spanish bean salad is bright and satisfying, and you can easily request vegan versions of the hearty spicy collard greens and the fresh farmers salad. For the cider flight, Funkhouse and Lake Hause Rosé are excellent plant-based picks, though vegans should note the Honeoye blend is made with honey. The staff is friendly and efficient, promptly managing the busy first-come, first-served crowd. Indoors, the space is cozy but tight, making it tough for large groups on rainy days. However, the sprawling outdoor seating (May-October) is fantastic, spacious, and fully wheelchair friendly. With its casual vibe and moderate price point, it's a stellar spot for a relaxed day date or a scenic group outing. Just roll up early since they don't take reservations! read more

My new favorite cider place! The country vibes are amazing. They've got you-pick flowers and a little pond with Adirondack chairs and picnic tables for a nice photo backdrop. There was a strawberry field as you drive into their driveway. The cider was amazing. I got a flight. Honeoye was my favorite so I bought a bottle to bring home. The staff was super friendly and gave us lots of helpful advice. We also had a flourless chocolate tarte that was out of this world delish. I'm telling everyone about this spot! One day I want to go back and stay in the yurt! They also have lodging in the main building. The drive there will be beautiful too as you drive along the lake. Very scenic. We took route 89 home. Amazing ! read more

Finger Lakes Cider House is fantastic! A cidery with lots of fun and delicious ciders, yes of course. A beautiful setting with indoor and outdoor seating, yes. Amazing food that is made with the freshest of ingredients you could possibly imagine, YES! Everything we had was incredible and you taste the freshness, the flavors pop and everything is made extremely well. There's something so simple about the menu, yet it's also sophisticated. Based on our experience I imagine anything you get, you will be happy. You are welcomed at the door, given whatever menus you want for food and drink and then you go up and order when you're ready. You'll be given a buzzer to take to your table and you'll pick your food up when it's ready. The drinks you order will be done shortly after you finish ordering. It was pretty busy when we went, but there's a fairly large parking lot, plenty of seating and the cooks were pumping out meals at a great pace. Easy recommendation to make, so when you go, Enjoy! read more

Our 3rd year coming here and we are always pleased with the food, service and the vibe is chill. Can't go wrong with the cheese board. The food is always fresh and the ciders are great. They have a large variety to select from. Highly recommend adding this to your list of things to do! read more

Woohoo thank you for taking the time, we would so love to welcome you…
A really beautiful place to enjoy ciders and the fall sun of finger lakes. There are lot of different types of ciders to choose from and you can pick your own to form your flights, from bone dry ones to honey sweet ones, and also funky ones like rose style and whisky barrel aged ones. We also stayed in the loft through airbnb and it was well equipped and very cozy too. Definitely a nice place to stay/taste in finger lakes! read more

Our second visit this time we needed to eat and stopped for a quick bite to eat. I ordered a cider aged in bourbon and it was fantastic. Our food was delicious as well. As I was sitting there, a guy peering at me like he knew me walked by and then tapped me on the shoulder and said bro what's up. How you been? I said do we know each other? He thought I was a band member that played the drums for a 90's band back in the day called "Plastic Metal" that performed in the Finger Lakes. He swore it was me and showed me a pic and damn did it not look like me but I promise as I carry no tunes in my body. He was from Syracuse and we chatted with him for over 20 mins. He was a nice guy and provided us some recommendations on places to check out. read more

Wow thanks Jeffery for sharing your feedback and sending a review of…
Always come to the wineries up here but never checked out the cider house until this trip...pleasantly surprised! Such a laid back environment with plenty of indoor/outdoor seating and gorgeous views. I love that its not just a cider house- there's cornhole, checkers and some other games, they have u-pick strawberries/peaches/sunflowers (whatever the season is), and you can order food along with your drinks ranging from small bites to entrees. Also who doesn't love cider flights?! Choose between their pre-selected ones or combine any 4 of your own! So fun. You can buy bottles or growlers of whatever you like to take home. My favorites: -Fruit of the bloom -Golden russet -Honeycrisp -Honeoye We also got the cheese & charcuterie board to go with the ciders and let me tell you...best decision! The best parts were the bacon jam, the bacon jerky, and the beef sausage! All the meats paired really well with the cheeses and i loved how everything is locally sourced. Return? Definitely, we already have a trip planned for September 2024! Recommend? Highly read more
Loved the rustic vibes, the locally made cheese and produce and of course the cider. This was an A+ experience, and I'm so happy I stopped in for some lunch and libations. Many of the wineries in the area don't have a lunch menu, so if you are hungry this is definitely the way to go. The charcuterie platter had a variety of meats and cheeses and some other fun accompaniments like olives and spreads. The homemade strawberry jam was probably some of the best I've ever had. Of course you can find tons of cider, and I like that they have a few preset flight combinations to help guide you. I also like that when you are done feasting they have the cutest little shop where you can purchase a bunch of things to take home. In addition to their cider they also sell some really fun local food products. The farmhouse has a large patio area where you can enjoy your food and drinks with some fabulous views of the rolling hills and the water. I usually prefer wine over cider, but for the whole package with views and food this is certainly worth swapping out a winery for. read more

Thank you so much!! It means the world to us to hear from guests…
Awesome farm-to-table food, and delightful charcuterie boards. You can choose from dozens of ciders to make 4-glass tasting flights. Quite casual and not stuck up: you order from a counter and they buzz you when it's ready. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Surprisingly good for kids, who enjoyed the grilled cheese sandwich and snacking off the charcuterie board. They also got a kick out of checking out the farm (with some produce greenhouses and turkeys). read more

Went inside to eat here while my customers were doing a tasting and the food was impeccable!!! Soo delicious and large enough portions for 2 with just one plate! I had the pulled pork, fresh non alcoholic ginger beer and a chocolate torte and thoroughly enjoyed it! The service was great and the ambiance was very relaxed and rustic. I paid $25 total for my meal-not bad since I didn't finish it all and took the rest home. Great place. Definitely recommend. read more

Thank you so much for visiting us and bringing some lovely folks to…
We really enjoyed coming here. The cider flight was nice and we selected the four most popular. Our favorites were the funkhouse and the honeoye. We even had 6 bottles shipped home for free. We ordered the pickled flight and the bread with sauces. It was good but not our favorites, just based on what we enjoy. The quality was spot on, and the little mason jars make it easy for you to take home what you don't finish. Just ask them for a to-go box. I also bought a T-shirt but was shocked to realize they are no where near true to size. Seriously, the medium would fit a small child. Unroll and check before you buy! I'm glad I did, but not that I had to get the 2XX when I'm an average medium in T-shirts. read more

very easy to go strawberry picking! just bring your own container and get it weighed inside the restaurant and then pick the strawberries! they will subtract the weight if your container at the end when they calculate the total weight for strawberries! i picked almost 2 pounds and it came out around $6-7! read more
