    I've gone here a couple of times to enjoy their outdoor area. The last time it was pretty chilly, but they keep a fire going and near the fire it was comfy and cozy enough to hang out. We brought a few blankets, but they also just have some hanging up for people to use, which I think is cool. They also allow dogs outside and thoughtfully bring them bowls of water so that's great, AND they let you bring food in - there's a pretty good pizza place right next door. My favorite cider that they have is the Winter Shanty with fall/winterish spices, but they're all good!

    Loved this rustic, cozy, and modern vibe of this cider bar. The upside down canoe by bar area def sets the scenery. There are always locals that stop by with their growlers to pick up some craft ciders. The growlers are specifically made to retain the cider's temp to keep things fresh. If you're hungry, they have $3 bottomless popcorn or you can order pizza/salads next door. Personal fav from the sample flight was the Winter Shandy- tasted like applesauce with a kick! Friendly staff and very clean interior. They have a gift shop area in the back of the shop.

    If you know me you know that my drink of choice is usually a hard cider. If you know me, you know that I love to support local mom and pop shops. And finally, if you know me you know that I love meeting new people, people who are passionate about what they are doing. This place was so amazing from the moment we walked in until the time that we left. In the midst of Covid-19 and feeling deprived of really good conversation and a good drink and this place reminded me that 'this too shall pass' and that we are all going to be ok. Brandon and Jay were amazing and talked us through all of the different flavors. We both settled on a flight because they all sounded so delicious we couldn't pick just one. The flight was a great way to go. My favorites were Chappy and The Big O. My husband liked the Angry Spanker. Upon hearing this Brandon made him a mini Angry Mary (their spin on a bloody Mary) and said it would ruin bloody Mary's for us because theirs was so good. I'll be darned if he wasn't right. Needless to say we took some home. I also took home some of the Chappy (made with Traverse City cherries). I can't wait to go back. Friends, go for the great drinks, stay for the wonderful atmosphere and conversations and leave with some beverages to go and help out a pretty fantastic little establishment!

    Our party Had the best interaction with the staff. Ciders were very good, then they start to learn your taste buds. Very fun experience.

    My family has been coming to Yates for 40 years, so I might be a little biased, but I think it's…read morepretty great! Partly, you just have to know what to expect and when to go. This is not an orchard - there is no apple picking, hay rides or pumpkin patches. You primarily come to walk or bike the trails along the Clinton River and enjoy their famous cider and donuts. Over the years they've added other offerings like an ice cream stand, fudge kitchen, etc. so there's plenty to choose from. Lots of picnic tables outside but during peak times, it's hard to find a spot. In some of my past visits, there were a lot of bees but this time (Sept 2026), I didn't notice any. This cider mill has gotten so popular over the years that it's way too insane to go on weekends. If you can go earlier on a weekday, it's much more enjoyable. They're the oldest cider mill in Michigan, have a rich 160-year history, and still use the water turbine to generate power! But more than that, their donuts and cider are top notch. The donuts are light, fluffy, and not too sweet - just perfection. Their cider pairs nicely but I will say it's a little expensive (overpriced imho). Parking is free and there's an overflow lot across the street. When I lived in Georgia, they didn't have the same style of cider mills as we do here in Michigan, so we are very lucky! Visiting Yates at least once each fall is a must in my book.

    It's a challenge to accurately rate Blake's Lyon Twp, having grown up with Blake's in Armada, and…read moreexperiencing recently what it has become. Also never went here when it was Erwin's. I'm glad there is a Blake's closer for all my friends that didn't grow up on the east side like me, but I want it to be a bit more like the Armada location. I get they aren't open all year at this location, but even during October, a indoor dining hall would go a long way! Was pretty chilly sitting eating my wares from the food trucks, which were delicious, but the Armada location's restaurant is even better than what the food trucks offer. Also yay for GF doughnuts! Lots of kids stuff, and food for them. Would LOVE to see them make improvements so they can be open longer! Heated dining tent? Convert one of the buildings to indoor dining? If you're new to Blake's, and don't know what hard cider to get, I suggest Apple Pie, Strawberry Zen, Caramel Apple, or Peach Party!

    We went over Labor Day weekend - not busy and we did all the activities without much wait time…read more Just count your doughnuts after you order them. They had four different flavors so I asked for a dozen of the four doughnuts - an equal number of each, thinking they would give me three of each one. Ordered a dozen and they only gave me 10 - they gave me four plain and only two each of the cinnamon, caramel, and caramel with nuts. I didn't look until I got home. Not a big deal but just make sure they have your order right before you leave! Cider was not great. Tasted like watered down apple juice. Wouldn't get it again.

We perused around the general store for a bit before grabbing some freshly made (weekends only) cider donuts. Oh my gosh! They were delicious. I should've grabbed another bag before I headed out! Next went in the neighboring room for a couple hard cider flights, bag of donuts in hand. We sampled every cider on the menu. Each of them were crisp, clean, tasty, and hit the spot! I think my favorite was the ginger, and his was the pear. We sat inside because it was rainy, but there is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy tastings. I definitely want to come back with a cooler so I am able to leave with a stash of goodies, and to check out the rest of the grounds- and for more donuts!! Go check out Bennett Orchard, it's a perfect Sunday drive.

This is the only orchard I know of that sells hard cider with a little lounge area. Even though I don't drink, this is a great hang out/ get together spot for sure, especially if you're into the rustic, farm vibe. They have a hay pile for the kids and a little area to play around as well as a good sized seating area outside with shade. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures but worth a stop especially to meet the wonderful, friendly staff that work there!
