Absolutely delicious! We've already returned to get a half dozen and a half gallon to bring home too! The donuts are fluffy and warm with a perfect balance of cinnamon sugar on the outside. We tried a normal cider and the slushie cider; the slushie was better! There was a little bit of a line but it moved quickly. Once we ordered, it only took a few minutes for our order to come out also. It's tucked back by a cute field with some farm animals nearby too!

One of the BEST cider places that I have had. The line was mighty, but swift. Add this on your list of places to visit in the fall!

Went after I saw many of my friends post about them. I always get nervous my friends are overselling places, but they honestly may have undersold this one! I got a donut & hot mulled cider, both were amazing!! The woman at the window was friendly! Ill definitely be back to try their cider slushies on a warmer day!

The line for cider and donuts.

Hard-Pressed Cider hands down has the best cider donuts in New England. Pros: Amazing donuts 3 styles of cider - traditional, hot, or frozen You can purchase cider to go and the apples they are made from There is always a line, but it moves quickly The customer service is excellent Cons: Parking can be tricky, but not a deal breaker, just be patient. The recognition is very well deserved.

A fun little side quest when in Jamestown. I couldn't eat the donuts (I'm a gluten-free dweeb) but I smelled them HARD & they smelled stellar. My partner said they might be the best donuts he's ever had in his life. So there's that. I did taste the hot apple cider, however, & it truly hit the spot. I had high expectations & they were still exceeded. Windmist Farm is a Jamestown treasure. It's so lovely & well-maintained. Be sure to stop in to the Windmist Farm General Store for more goodies.

Fall is my favorite season, and I love enjoying it with a visit to the Hard Pressed Cider Company in Jamestown, RI, for some hot apple cider donuts. I couldn't resist buying a dozen apple cider donuts, fresh and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon--absolutely delicious when they're piping hot! They paired perfectly with a refreshing apple cider drink. Customer service was great! And the feeling of fall literally was perfect! The weather was nice and cool in the morning!

The very best, period, hot apple cider donuts , Period. It was raining and there was a decent wait outside his food truck but the wait was worth it Awesome hands down the very best hot apple cider donuts ! Make the trip and you'll thank me later!

Is there a better cider in Rhode Island than Hard Pressed? Probably not! There is definitely not a better cider donut around either! You get the goods right from the farm, cider is fresh and the donuts are warm. You can get you cider hot, cold, or as a slushy. They also have a farm store where you can buy fresh meat and other goodies as well. I could not even imagine a season without making a trip to Hard Pressed. Definitely well worth it!

My friend and I had such a great time exploring the Hard-Pressed Cider Farm. It can be a little hard to find, but I would recommend putting the address into Google or Apple Maps and following it from there. We parked on the side of the road without any direction on a good location to park. It's a short walk to the trailer that features cupped cider, slushie cider, or even cider by the half gallon. We also got a half a dozen donuts. The donuts were delicious! Very soft and moist and covered in a delicious combination of cinnamon and sugar. The staff was nice and our order was promptly delivered. The farm has a great view and it was nice to be out in nature enjoying the farm! I highly recommend the experience to anyone in the area!

A must do to ring in the fall!! Located at historic Windmill Hill, the food truck is in a perfect spot on the local farm! They have hot cider, slushies, and don't forget the tasty tasty donuts!! The team was amazing and provided fast and professional service!

Fresh apple donuts and fresh apple squeezed juice?! Yes please!!! You can watch them freshly pressed the apples for some juice. You can get hot or cold cider. Get the hot one on a fall day... so good. I like it because it wasn't overly sweet like the store bought ones. It's has a good tart to it. The apple cider donuts coated in sugar were delicious too! Especially with the hot cider. They have tables and chairs you can sit and eat. Farm animals everywhere. Have fun animal watching. Enjoy some cider!

BEST spot for Apple cider doughnuts and cider!! Get a cider slushie, hot or chilled cider for sipping and get a few half gallons to go! I buy a couple dozen of the doughnuts, altho best eaten right away while warm, they are still amazing if you microwave them for 10 seconds!! They have a slightly crunchy exterior coated in cinnamon sugar, with a soft interior that just melts in your mouth. The place is located on a side street off a main road, parking on the side of the street, and signs (and aroma) will lead you to the doughnuts! Check out the idyllic landscape while you're there!

The donuts are warm and amazing. The hot mulled cider tastes like a perfect fall day. Stop by!

I am a diabetic and should not be eating your sugar-coated delights. Do you, offer an alternative sweetener for diabetics? A choice of "Splenda" and cinnamon on your doughnuts would be good and perhaps pies made with "Splenda" instead of cane sugar.

Hi Jim, at the moment we do not offer any sugar substitute options. We are working in a tight space and don’t have enough room for storage or production of alternatives for dietary restrictions. Some of our customers get the doughnut plain, but the…

Last weekend, we attended my cousin's 60th birthday bash in Rhode Island. Her partner and sister…read morehosted the event and used Shuckin' Truck (along with two other caterers) to provide the food. The party was held outdoors in their pretty yard under a tent. Shuckin Truck was an absolute hit! They set up the outdoor raw bar...clams (littlenecks), oysters, and shrimp on ice, in a very attractive manner. The table was manned by a charming "shucker". There were an assortment of passed hors d'oeuvres which included lobster grilled cheese lobster triangles...these were indescribably delicious. Everyone was oohing and aahing over these. I also loved the smoked salmon on toast and the small cups of really tasty clam chowder. All the appetizers were incredibly delicious although I would say the lobster grilled cheese was the biggest hit. All of the staff were polite and friendly. After the appetizer round, the lobster rolls came out and they were simply spectacular. They were true New England lobster rolls on toasted square edged (this is key) frankfurter buns, and absolutely stuffed with chunks of delicious lobster meat that had been lightly dressed with mayo. Those rolls were out of this world, deliciously prepared and very generously filled with sweet lobster meat. They also served fabulous fish tacos. For the non-seafood eaters of which there were none at this party, they served a pulled pork taco which was spicy and delicious. The portions were generous and the food just kept on coming out. While there was plenty of additional food at this party from other vendors as well as some homemade additions, Shuckin' Truck was my favorite part of the overall feast. Great job! I would not hesitate to hire them for a party or to seek out the food truck wherever it was parked!

They catered my best friend's wedding yesterday. Everything was phenomenal, from the food which was…read moresuper fresh and flavorful, to the staff that was incredibly friendly and helpful. I'm a tough critic when it comes to food, and they get no notes from me. Every dish was a standout. I've never heard of a scallop roll before, but I want 3 more of them right now. And the lobster grilled cheese will forever hold a special place in my foodie heart. Awesome job guys! Highly, highly recommended!
