There was an open lawn and games like corn hole for waiting customers to play with. We were helped almost immediately by the servers which was great since we had our two active toddlers with us.

Our bill was brought to us right away and we were helped frequently through lunch. What more can you ask for?! Oh good music, they had that too :)

Overall, a cute fall activity for friends and family and good cider!

While this location is located about a 15 minute walk from the main downtown area of Salem, the walk is pretty easy. We got there around 2:30 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and the location was fairly steady. They did have live music as well. We both ordered the honeydew slushy and absolutely loved it. I wish there was a way to be able to ship it to Florida as it was so amazing. I also got a flight so I could try some of the new ciders that I hadn't had before.

The bad- the atmosphere. Maybe we got them at a bad time, but it was DEAD inside. The floors and walls were cement, it felt like we were drinking in an unfinished basement. If the place had some more decor and a few more patrons we might have stayed longer. But we drank our flights fast and Ubered out. The bar is a bit far from downtown. It's walkable, but after two days of 20k steps an Uber was in order.

[Out-of-Towner Review]…read more Obsessed with this cider! I stumbled upon this cider at a local restaurant and had to seek out the Cider House a few visits later. I will say, it is very hole-in-the-wall, no-frills cider tasting (and enjoying). I love how patrons are amongst the product stacked on pallets. I love how they have so many tasting to offer, on any given visit. Because I love their cider, I just love everything else about my visit here. I travel for work, so I end up doing things solo a lot. This was no exception. I found it every easy to maneuver as a solo guest. There was plenty of space and tables for patrons and the tasting bar is also spacey. The staff was kind, funny, and rambunctious, as you'd expect at a Cider House. There are no frills and just good 'ol cider to enjoy! Driving here, since I'm unfamiliar with this area of Boston, was a little hard to get here. I was a little thrown off, but I should have guessed it would be a warehouse style place. My bad! Tons of parking and I even saw an area with cute string lights and what I'm assuming were food trucks, but I didn't wander over there. If y'all could please make your way to California, it would be cool!

However, I was happy to find that there was a cafe in the back corner that opens in the mornings. So on the way to work, I tried out their cute cafe and got a pumpkin-spiced latte with almond milk. Overall, the coffee was decent and wasn't bitter or burnt (which was impressive since when I visited, the cafe was very new with little experience). This definitely earns them points in my book. I will say that they lose points (in my books) just based on my personal preferences. First off, being a brewery, expect there to be a STRONG smell of beer. Even though I wasn't in there for long, I could still find myself getting a headache and not enjoying the strong smell. I'll also say that the service I received the morning I went wasn't the best, and the man who made my drink definitely did not want to be there. As I've mentioned in other reviews I've done, I rate places HEAVILY based on service and kindness. Overall, the coffee was decent, but there are better places to go on Waltham that I would rather go to instead.

And I also have the old fashioned. It was delicious. They made it with hard grapefruit seltzer that they brew themselves. It is very refreshing. I also tried the seasonal latte flight, a cider donut and the banana brûlée latte. I was very pleased with the peppermint mocha. It was minty but not overly so. The gingerbread latte was the best flavor. The cookie butter latte was good. And the vanilla cardamom was my least favorite. I would have liked more of the cardamom flavor. I like that you can try all the seasonal flavors but I would like it better if it was customizable instead of being preset. The service is pretty good. I think you can open a tab or you pay each time you order. There is no waitressing, so they call you up to the bar to get your order and you bring back your dishes to a corner of the counter. The bar/beer side was pretty slow service. I waited for a while to place my order but once I placed my order it wasn't too long before I received my drink.
