I wasn't able to get a pic of the full dozen before my family tucked in, but it was a colorful and wonderful array. For me, the winners were the caramel topped cinnamon roll and the boston creme (they named it bavarian creme filled butI know what I know). The only one that didn't hit with my kids was the strawberry iced with sprinkles, but that was taste preference. I highly recommend this place to everyone looking for a local fix!

However, this place don't get its high ratings by having bad doughnuts and I can confidently say these are some of the best ones around! Apple valley is very lucky to have this place! They were warm, fresh and fluffy! They were sweet but not too crazy sweet! Seriously done VERY well! I would recommend coming in and taking them to go!

On a weekday afternoon, it was mostly folks like me, out to buy a few fresh items. I could see the weekends being busier with families. The orchard has nice grounds to amble through, some tractors to climb and pose with, wagons to borrow, and a beautiful outdoor seating area. I found my apples and also picked up some honey. There were also jams, cheese, apple sauce, salsas, coffee, and wild rice options. Freshly baked goods and hot and cold apple cider were fall favorites as well. The orchard is only a short drive off the freeway so stop in and check it out.

They have the classics and some interesting flavors (salted caramel). The glazed/raised was ethereal perfection and melts in your mouth. The plain cake donut was even outstanding - the maple-glazed old fashioned was a cut above.

I cannot recommend this place any higher - truly 5 star!

Rich, ultra-chocolatey, moist, and absolutely a chocolate lover's dream. I loved every bite. The gal who helped me was friendly and welcoming. She answered all of our questions. My only suggestion? Consider using boxes or different packaging for certain items. The whoopie pie was placed in a bag, which made it tricky to get out without smearing that precious frosting everywhere--and I definitely don't want to miss any of the frosting, it's my favorite part!

Pros: * The pastries we tried were reasonably fresh and…read moretasty; 3.5 stars. * The donuts are huge! Getting 12 felt more like 18. :) Cons: * Selection is limited. * Hours are limited: Tue-Sat, 6a-1p. * Current owners bake nothing onsite, so pastries lose that delightful super-freshness. * Most items are prepackaged, which makes it feel like shopping at a supermarket instead of a bakery. * I watched an employee open a new pastry box and sneeze, then did not stop to wash her hands. She then attempted to use that box, but the customer asked for a new one. I hope the owners take a moment to review safe food handling practices with everyone! Summary: The bakery that housed this space for decades baked everything onsite, offered a better variety and a fresher, tastier product. They were open longer hours, and knew their community. They made delicious breads, cakes, and donuts, and ramped up production around the holidays. The current bakery is basically a kiosk for an existing shop in another town. It has lost that special magic that the old bakery had, that drew in customers from many miles away.
