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…

For the experience you get, the price point is reasonable and worth it. Our server (deckhand) was very accommodating and had a warm and eager to serve demeanor. He went above and beyond. The food...oh my God, the food was top tier. Beautifully plated and rich with flavors. The skill of the chef and their team really shined through. My cocktail was a blueberry bourbon smash which was fantastic. Starting with a beautiful and tasty beet salad and their take on Ahi Tuna wontons that really prepped my taste buds and appetite. Then moving into a Swordfish special with broccoli, mashed potatoes and grilled and spiced corn on the cob that was quartered into bite size pieces. Ending on a tres leches that brought me right to heavens gates all to end on a high note of a dining experience.

I think this place is pretty good, but also pretty average. They have a nice outdoor seating area,…read morewe went at 5pm on a Monday and the service was fairly quick. Our appetizers came out in less than 5 minutes, but our food took a little over 30 minutes. I'm aware the main course will take longer to prepare, but it was odd how fast the appetizers came out, so it raised our hopes a bit too much for the main course. My parents got red and white sangria. They were decent, but for $12 a glass it probably wasn't worth it. We got the brussel sprouts and calamari for an appetizer. The brussel sprouts were amazing, but the sauce made it a bit too salty. The calamari was also good, but I've had better, and it didn't even come with peppers. I got the blackened chicken with rice and carrots. The blacked chicken was amazing, I would definitely recommend that. However, the rice was extremely bland and the carrots weren't anything to write home about. My mom got the chicken alla vodka sandwich, which wasn't the best either. There was barely any sauce on the sandwich, and the little that was, was on the very side of the sandwich. She got truffle fries as her side which I thought were super yummy. My dad for the fish n chips, which was good. Overall, the dinner was fine. However, nothing is bringing us back for another meal. The server was very nice and attentive too. Honestly, I'd rather go to Blu on the Water if I was in the area for dinner.

I never write reviews, even bad ones, but tonight's experience left me pretty stunned. I called at…read morearound 6pm and asked for the first available reservation for 4 people. The response was we only take reservations for parties of 6 or more. Fair enough. I said I'd like to drive up and pit my name in for the next available table for 4. We arrived around 6:30 and I put in my name. I was told it would be 30-45 minutes. No problem. I ordered drinks at the bar and sat outside enjoying the night. At 7:20 I went back and side and saw two 4 tops open and asked the waitress if either of those were for us. Her response "We can't sit 4 people at those tables only." Found that odd seeing as the other 4 tops had 4 people sitting there. She said she was waiting for the table in the back to finish and we could have that one. I said ok and ordered more drinks and went back outside. At around 8:15 a couple came strolling by us and asked what the wait was like. I said we had been waiting for an hour and a half, but they could go check if the bar had seats. 15 minutes after they went in I went in and saw them seated at one of the 4 tops that was open earlier. I asked the waitress why she would sit 2 people that just walked in at a table that fits 4 people that have been waiting for close to 2 hours. Her response "They had reservations." First off that's a total lie as I just spoke to them before they went in. Second, you said you don't take reservations for parties of less than 6 people!! To make matters worse, 2 other staff that my brother in law and I spoke to about the situation all gave differing stories about reservations. Again, you told me on the phone no reservations for parties under 6 people. And to top it off, no apologies, no offer to fix it, no offer of apps or dessert or anything. Not looking for freebies, but literally no remorse. All they did was hide in the back and try to ignore us until the bartender helped us. We have been here many times, always good food, service is good, but the host station is always chaotic. This time took the cake. Will not be back for a while.

This review is a bit late (business is good for me) but better late than never for a STELLAR place!…read more RCKB (for short) had such an interesting menu, we literally took 10 minutes just to pick out our selections. Not because it is big, but so enticing! We ended up ordering the Eggplant Parm Sandwich, the chicken parm panini, the Mediterranean slate and a chicken parm with Rosemary fries! Our waitress Rachel was not used to NY humor (a few of my corny jokes fell off the boat, so to say) but she eventually realize that I was trying to lighten up our day. Kudos to her for staying straightface. She is an excellent waitress. LOL All of our meal selections were awesome. Those rosemary fries took me to the moon! Warren is a magnificent town.
