We grabbed a dozen! We enjoyed a seat in the shade of their giant tent and gobbled down a fresh donut each then shared a second one! They had corn hole set up and it looked like some other kid friendly activities. Plenty of parking. These donuts freeze well and we love putting them in the oven and lightly toasting them to reheat. Yum! Wishing you success!

Between 4 of us we were able to sample just about everything on the menu. We also ordered snacks from the large assortment available. We were surprised to find that we had 6 choices from ciders, wines, cocktails, and balsamic vinegars. We were skeptical of those, but Lori assured us that the vinegar combos were favorites. We ended up buying a few ciders and wines. We will be sure to visit again when we are in the area.

Tapped Apple has a lot of charm on paper -- cozy downtown Westerly vibes, friendly staff, and a…read morereputation for being a fun, low‑key spot to sip your way through a flight. And honestly, you can feel the good energy when you walk in. Other reviewers rave about the atmosphere and service, and I get it. The team is warm, the space is inviting, and the whole experience feels very "local gem." But here's where the 3‑star reality sets in: the flavors all start blending together. For a cidery/meadery with such a big menu, I expected more range. Instead, most pours land in the same sweet‑leaning zone, making it tough to distinguish one from the next. After a few sips, everything felt like variations on the same theme. Not bad -- just not memorable. If you're new to cider or prefer sweeter profiles, you'll probably love it. But if you're hoping for bold contrasts, dry options, or something that really stands out, the lineup might feel a little one‑note. Still, the staff is great, the vibe is relaxed, and it's a fun stop if you're already exploring Westerly. With a bit more variety in the flavor profiles, this could easily jump to a 4‑star spot. Cheers

B.F. Clyde's Cider Mill combines the charm of America's oldest operating steam-powered cider mill…read morewith beautiful wooded grounds, multiple uniquely themed tasting areas, knowledgeable staff, and a well-crafted lineup of hard ciders, creating an enjoyable destination for visitors of all ages. Its highly commercial atmosphere and bustling crowds may not appeal to those seeking a quieter, more intimate cidery experience. The interior is highlighted by the oldest steam-powered cider mill still operating in the United States, proudly displayed inside the historic barn alongside a well-stocked shop offering ciders, wines, and merchandise. There is no indoor space dedicated solely to relaxing with a drink without also being in a retail or food area. Surrounded by mature trees, the property features a picturesque barn with several themed tasting areas, outdoor cider and wine bars, and a charming food shop housed in what resembles an old farmhouse, creating an attractive and family-friendly setting. One downside is the layout requires visitors to follow a roped path around the patio and through the market to enter the food shop, reinforcing the property's distinctly commercial feel. The knowledgeable staff, authentic cidery buildings, fascinating steam-powered mill, and welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages make for an enjoyable experience. The large crowds, energetic families, and commercial nature of the property can make it feel louder and less personal than smaller craft cideries. The cider lineup showcases impressive craftsmanship and variety, with the sweet yet slightly tart Goodfella apple-blackberry blend standing out as my favorite, while The Original delivered a smooth, classic profile, Yellow Jacket offered a bright, crisp finish, and Cherry Bomb featured rich fruit character. The downside was the tasting pours were quite small and the smallest cider available for purchase was a half-gallon jug. Nestled in Old Mystic, Connecticut, B.F. Clyde's Cider Mill is more than just a stop for cider lovers, it's a piece of living history. Established in 1881, it holds the distinction of being the oldest steam-powered cider mill in the United States still in operation today. Family-owned and operated for six generations, the Clyde family continues to press apples each fall using the original steam equipment, attracting visitors from across New England eager to experience this authentic slice of Americana.

Downeast Cider House is located in East Boston, an area of Boston that I have never been before…read more But I had discovered Downeast Cider at The Big E (the state fair in Springfield, MA). Downeast Cider makes a special hard cider flavor every year for the state fair and this year's is the Big E Cream Puff. Last year they made the cider donut, which was very popular and so they brought it back again this year, but as a seasonal fall flavor. One employee told me that she didn't even know the flavor for the state fair until a few weeks before hand because it just takes a good deal of effort to create the right flavored cider for the state fair. I really loved the Big E Cream Puff cider so much that the next day after the state fair, we ended up visiting Downeast Cider's tap room (which is dog friendly and you are also allowed to bring your own food. Please note that Downeast Cider does not serve food and well you shouldn't drink on an empty stomach). My husband and I came on a Saturday afternoon, around 1:15 pm (we took the train so I am not sure about how the parking situation is like but I did see some street parking within a reasonable walking distance). We were greeted at the entrance and given a token. The tap room does not do full pours and only do flights (sad because I really wanted a full glass of that Big E Cream Puff). After looking over the list of drinks available, we ended up getting: For my Flight: Cream Puff, Cider Donut, Pumpkin Blend, Blackberry Pie. The cream puff is what brought us here and it really did taste like a liquid form of a cream puff. You could taste the cream and the pâte à choux (or the choux pastry that houses the cream/ whipped cream filling). I loved both the Cider Donut and Pumpkin Blend but wasn't a fan of the Blackberry Pie, but my husband did. For my Husband's: Honey Crisp, Apple Pie, Imperial Mango, Straw Rhubarb- My husband liked all of the flavors but his favorite was the Imperial Mango. I really liked the apple pie, very nice and sweet, honestly tasted just like a liquid form of an apple pie. I wasn't really a fan of the other flavors. ------------------------------ (Total= For 2 Flights, $29.96) After we finished our flights, we were invited to do a small tasting of a new cider that this cidery is working on. So we were led upstairs to try an IPA Imperial Mango. It had more alcohol than the Imperial Mango. We filled out a brief questionnaire to provide our feedback based on smell, taste, color, etc. I didn't really like it and my husband thought it was okay but preferred the Imperia Mango that he had earlier from his flight. The employee that was giving us the tasting told us that they generally do these tastings (for feedback on new flavors they are creating) on weekends in case you are wondering if you can try a new potential flavor on your next visit. Also the employee helping us told us that it can be pretty challenging to create flavors that taste just as good as the food item they are trying to use. She told me that with the Cream Puff, it took a lot of time to really get the flavors to taste the way it did, as I had told her that was my favorite flavor and I loved how smooth it was. Overall, I enjoyed our visit and so glad we came out to visit Downeast Cider's tap room and would come again if I was visiting Boston.
