Beautiful location, wonderful on a nice day. The cider is excellent of course, but the food is also excellent. Worth the time, and we really like having the outdoor games when we want to stretch out the visit. read more

Apple picking itself was good. Make a reservation beforehand. BUT we ordered food. Waited over an hour. It never came...

This review is for the Pavilion at Twin Star. I LOVE the ambiance here! The wood fired pizza and burgers made in such a casual setting, options to sit at the long wooden tables inside with heat lamps or outside by the lake with all the string lights as the sun sets behind the trees, games on the lawn and more... Hope to be back one day to try the cider donuts that sold out! read more

Reserved a few days ahead for a 12:30 PM arrival time on a Saturday in early October. We actually just came for lunch, not to apple pick, so my rating is based on the food. They do sell apples (and much more) in the store. I tried the Margherita pizza, 3 mushroom white, and sausage special (housemade bratwurst). Pizzas were excellent. Brat was tasty but pretty small portion for the price (one link cut in half and some cornbread). Also got some of the cider doughnuts, which were good, but wish they were hot. You can get hot ones a few miles away at Jenkins-Lucien. Fresh cider was amazing! read more

This is our second year visiting Twin Star Orchards, and it's become a fall tradition for my friends and I! We initially came looking for a relaxed orchard to enjoy apple cider donuts, cider, and some fall foliage, and Twin Star delivered! This orchard has a little bit of everything: a store where you can buy apples, cider, merch, fresh and delicious apple cider donuts, and the option to pick your own apples if you're up for it. Hungry? They've also got a restaurant in the back that serves wood fired pizzas burgers, and cider. While the line for the wood fired pizzas can take a while, there's plenty of picnic tables by the lake so you can take in the gorgeous scenery while waiting for your food. Check this place out if you're in the area! read more

These folks do everything right. Lovely people. It's a casual gem, happy groups of locals and tourists with dogs and children enjoying the beautiful settling on the lake and great eats. The food is local faves, pizza and burgers (rip the amazing bbq) and varieties of hard cider along with beer and n/a selections. The pizza definitely gets the award for vip, love the broccoli rabe and the fig and prosciutto pies. Grab a house brewed cider, enjoy the sunset and the ducks (there used to be a swan!) in the lake and its heaven. read more

My husband and I decided to get something to eat after our Bike ride. We decided to come since they didn't open until 12 , so we decided to do a flight sample first. The margarita pizza was very delicious and out of this world. I think it came up to be $18.00 but it was so worth it. I messed up and decided to buy the two cans of Cider when I couls had just bought a whole bottle. Next time I will do that instead. My husband and I absolutely loved the view of this place. I am sure this place looks absolutely gorgeous in the fall time. My husband and I can't wait to come back here again. It's definitely worth it and everything is so fresh. The service was amazing as well. read more

We enjoyed Twin Star Orchards! We ordered the pepperoni and vegan pizza. FOOD: The pepperoni was super good and tasty. The vegan pizza was good but if needed more sauce, it was too dry. But all was very tasty! We also ordered the Bone Dry and Kinda Dry (I'm not sure if that's the name but it was the 2nd sweetest one) which were both food. SERVICE: It was ok. Not 5 stars. The place was basically empty, so the service could have been way better. LOCATION: Loved it, really cool space and lots of seating. read more

5 minutes from the highway exit sits Twin Star Orchard. We went on a Sunday to drink dry crisp cider and eat some of the best pizza I've had in the Catskills/Hudson Valley in a gorgeous orchard with a late afternoon summer sun. Beautiful. read more

They're now charging $5 per person entry fees on the weekends regardless of whether you are picking apples, going to eat, etc. We decided to go the clemson brothers brewery instead and each used that $5 for a beer, which was a much better value. read more

Twin Star continues to deliver an amazing consumer experience. Since my last review, Twin Star has opened its doors to the public and offers near similar services to pre-COVID. We were meeting some family who was traveling south on the NYS Thruway and figured Twin Star would be a perfect location. Because TS has an amazing outdoor space, with orchards, tables, and their famous red pizza pavilion, we felt comfortable making this one of our first "dine-in" destinations since March. Upon arrival, you'll quickly realize their level of commitment to safety and health. Masks are required and they've clearly labeled social distancing areas throughout the grounds. I'd say almost every 20 feet, you can find some sort of hand sanitizer station, one-way arrows for foot traffic, and/or signage that succinctly reminds guests of the new rules for safety. Tables were separated with umbrellas for shade (it seems like they've added over 10-15 NEW picnic tables around the pond). One added bonus was the upgraded SquarePay system. Before ordering, you give your phone number to enroll for alerts/updates on your food. It wasn't too crowded on Sunday (7/12), but they had a chalkboard sign with estimated wait-times for food. In previous visits, your ready order would get yelled by a staff member--this is fine if you're seated near the pickup window, but near impossible to hear when seated in a different area. The new text alert system is a small upgrade, but an amazing feature to an already near-perfect experience. I got my favorites: Bone Dry Cider with a Dragon's Breath pizza. read more

Twin Star Orchards - Back side of the barn. Plenty of open space to move around. - Pizza Near Me - New Paltz, New York

Brooklyn Cide House/Twin Star Orchards is an absolutely bucket list worthy day trips for anyone to make. Nor a fan of cider (beer)? Well then come hungry because the pizzas are must try. Stunning views, plenty of parking, and a great scenic drive from the Manhattan area. Honestly, its a very smooth and easy drive to take. Once you pull up to the large barn, you can call and place your order OR order via their website I ordered the half sour , dry cider, and another cider. Cans and bottes start at about 7.00 and can go up to 16.00 i believe. That being said, split a 4 pack with someone. There are some bottles and cans that can be sold by themselves. The pizzas are very tasty and a nice surprise for a cidery. its a thin, neopoltian, style crust pie. layered with various toppings, sauce, and cheese. perfect to share on a date, or eat for yourself like the gluttonous pig that i am. my friend grabbed the "dragons breath". he ate it down quick, loved it. I dont think it wasy spicy at all. For me, the non meat eater, i had the 3mushroom white. Love the tender shrooms, perfect amount of cheese, and the hint of truffle oil. a pizza to die for! Keep in mind, theres plenty of pizzas here to get for the non meat eaters! We ate outside at our car since it was a nice day. We were allowed to use the bathrooms as long as we had face coverings and gloves. the inside of the brooklyn cider house smelled amazing and i cant wait to attend when covid is over. Before you arrive, make sure to check the twin star orchards website about whats available for pick up. i will be back to try their cider donuts! read more

Great place to hang out, pick some apples, order a pizza or burger and some cider, and eat it all on a picnic table by their lake/pond. Their brick oven pizzas were awesome, fed by actual wood that you can smell as you wait on their gorgeous grounds. We ordered one of each flavor they had. I'm not a cider person. But, I did enjoy their variety of available ciders. We got 3 different bottles of cider to wash down all the pizza. And then we went apple picking. $25 per bag/half bushel. Not a bad deal at all. And they have live music on occasion. I wish we could've been here earlier in the season for that. We've found our new apple picking place. read more

Awesome! Great place! Food was delicious. Scenery was amazing. People are friendly will be back.

Loved this cidery, such a perfect spot for a day of relaxing! Food was good (pizza and burgers) plus they had a cute maker's market the day we went, so especially nice. Really enjoyed relaxing by the lake and drinking cider and eating with the family. read more

We had a great time for Father's Day! The food and cider were awesome!! Great venue with terrific music!

I appreciated how pet friendly this place is! The food was great too :) I hear the cider is great too but I didn't get a chance to try it but definitely next time! This was my first time here and I enjoyed the atmosphere. The orchard itself is so nice to walk around. I would recommend coming here for good food and live music! read more

Went on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, the parking area was packed, but there's so much space around you didn't feel crowded at all. Very chill atmosphere, friendly staff. We got there a bit later in the day so the main BBQ offerings were sold out, opted for the regular menu items (specialty burgers and wood-fired oven pizza and it was all delicious! We ordered flights of cider, ended up liking the very dry "Bone Dry", and my wife preferred the Pet-nat styled "Three of Life" cider. Would love to visit again, relaxed place for groups and chillin in an orchard near New Platz! read more

We have been going to this place since it opened and have always enjoyed it! Its been a few years since we've been here and we were shocked at how expensive it is now! They charge to rent a wagon, to rent an apple picker, they charge $12 for firewood for the fire pits!! If it's a cool day they should have them going anyway!! We always loved the pizza and the burgers but they too were very pricey. $22 for the dragonsbreath which I remembered tasting much better in the past. Burger was subpar...nothing special at all! That being said it's a cool place to go and walk around the orchard and sit by the pond. If you go on a weekday it's not crazy busy. It's just disappointing that every little thing has to be charged for. Oh and a dozen doubts is $30 Ridiculous prices. But people will continue to travel here and be happy to pay it. read more

Fun time all around. We picked apples, we tried some Brooklyn CiderHouse cider and ate some food overlooking the pond. They have specials for Oktoberfest right now. Suggest the kielbasa but not the chicken spinach feta. That last one is a little dry. Pizza was good. Cider was good. The place is well maintained. Good times. read more

Beautiful orchards, gorgeous hard cider tasting room and delicious pizza and burgers cooked in the wood fired oven. This is one of those orchards you can spend the day at without completely breaking the bank. There are picnic tables by the ponds where you can bring your own food or indulge in the food they have there. $15 gets you a plastic bag which holds a peck of apples. They also have a larger reusable cloth bag. There are plenty of varieties to choose from and they are all crisp and delicious. They also have some pear trees. Follow them on Facebook for their special events. Definitely will be back soon. read more

This isn't a quaint little orchard: as the home of Brooklyn Cider Company, Twin Star Orchards seems to be a popular destination in upstate New York. Between people coming up from the city, locals, and out-of-state tourists, there were easily over 300 people here on a prime Fall weekend afternoon. That being said, the orchards are HUGE, so there was plenty of space to spread out. You can either pick your own apples from the orchards or choose from a selection in the store (or do a mix of both!). A peck of apples (about 12 lbs.) was plenty for me and cost $15. The largest bags (half bushel, about 24 lbs.) are $25. A lot of the orchard sections are blocked off (understandable because they need some apples left to make cider with!). The trees closest to the farm stand were totally picked over, but if you're willing to walk deeper into the orchards, you can find trees that are covered with fruit. Come prepared to do some walking! After working up an appetite wandering through the orchards, you can grab some food and beverages. Their wood fired pizzas are extremely popular for a reason! There was a 2 hour wait for pizza as the lunch rush was ending. You can order online to skip the wait--my online order only took 30-40 minutes to prepare--but they do shut off online ordering if it gets too busy. It might be a good idea to place your order first before you set off apple picking. The vegan pizza ($15) was amazing! It was topped with a beautiful assortment of seasonal vegetables: enoki mushrooms, broccoli rabe, and more. The sauce and toppings were so flavorful that I didn't even miss the cheese! Definitely pick up some cider to go. 750mL bottles are about $10-12. The raw cider I tried was so crisp, light, and delicious! With a triple threat of attractions (apple pocking, wood fired pizza, and alcoholic cider) Twin Star Orchards is a great spot for a quintessential Fall weekend. Just try to beat the crowds! read more

Fantastic experience today at Twin Star Orchards. The Roast Pig was a delish, the wood oven pizza one of the best I ever have eaten.

I loved our experience here. It was beautiful, the apples and food were delicious, and it was a super chill hang. However the only reason I did not give 5 stars is that at least 40-50% of the apples trees had poison ivy growing on their trunks (look for the bright red leaves that are a different shape from the green apple tree leaves). My 6 year old son thought they were beautiful fall foliage and picked some and I nearly had a panic attack. I got exposed too when I instinctually snatched it out of his hands. Most other orchards I've been to seem to remove the poison ivy but this one doesn't so proceed with caution if you bring young kids read more

This is not your typical apple farm. This is an apple farm with so much more. If you are a foodie then this is a destination that cannot be missed! On a regular day this apple farm not only has a great selection of apples for the picking, they have a great variety of burgers, pizzas, and award winning ciders. This weekend was one of their special weekends, celebrating Oktoberfest with grilled sausages, pretzels, and live music. We went to have a day out to celebrate a birthday! This is a dog friendly place with a fun vibe, delicious food and drinks. We got there just as they opened. The area around the pavilion quickly filled up with people sitting on the multitude of picnic tables scattered by the pond which provides a nice view as you munch and drink away. After filling up, you can get some exercise walking around the expansive apple farm, picking from a nice variety of apples. We went for the Fuji and Jonagold. On the way out, don't forget to get a dozen cider donuts for the road! read more

5 star for the best pizza and burger ever served in an apple orchard. Better than some places in the city. 5 star for the best sour apple cider. 1 Star for not having any apples for us to pick in the first week of October. 1 Star for us driving a total of 5 hours from NYC just to eat pizza and a burger. The last two likely not their fault. read more

Was informed of this orchard through Instagram, which was my first mistake. Nothing is as it seems and the "vs. reality" was pretty bad. My second mistake was actually making the trip out. There is a $5 cover charge per person. Doesn't matter if you plan to visit the cider house, eat, or apple pick. The tickets are timed entry and the staff will not scan you in unless AFTER your time, so don't bother showing up early. You grab a bag depending on how many apples you pick, and the smallest bag ($16), so I went for the larger bag (1/2 bushel) for a whopping $42. Only problem is that there ARE NO APPLES TO PICK. Trees are either completely bare, or the apples are rotten and inedible. So bad that in total I ended up with 11 apples in my $42 bag. AWFUL! The food situation is just as dire. 50 minute wait for pizza, 30 minute wait for already cooked BBQ ribs that was served ice cold. The experience was horrible. Left and drove down the road to a non-Instagram place and had a calm amazing time. This one is not worth it. read more

Fantastic orchard and cider house! There's a reason why the lines are out the door bc the apples are yummy, cider fantastic, and food delish esp the burgers and pizzas. They even have a food stand w fresh kimchi. If a $5 entry fee deters you it is your loss! read more

A beautiful orchard which a cidery attached that allows you to spend a relaxing day enjoying a cold one, eating artisanal pizza and take in the sites by the water. There are tons of benches and picnic tables that makes for a great outdoor dining experience with scenic views. There is everything from ciders to pizza to cider donuts and the workers seem to be young, friendly, and willing to do a good job at their part time roles. Compared to other cideries this place feels a lot more lax and is a good place to come hang out with a large group when the weather is nice. read more

Had an amazing time at Twin Star Orchards for their LDW Pig Roast! My boyfriend and I opted for the Pork Sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. I was afraid that the pork might be a bit dry, but it was extremely juicy and flavorful. Coupled with their homemade BBQ sauce and a refreshing Little Wild cider, it made for the perfect Sunday afternoon lunch. Will definitely be coming back for anther Pig Roast in the future! read more

It was a super packed, gorgeous Fall day so perhaps this wasn't the norm but we ordered online around 3:30 pm while we were en route and were given a ready time of 4:25. Got the text at 4:25 - went to the window and they hand me one of the 4 things I've ordered - a burger. I'm told the pizza isn't ready yet. So I stand there for over 25 more minutes, with the burger getting cold waiting for the pizza. I inquire - are they sure the pizza is coming? Why send a text if the whole order isn't ready? I'm told they don't put orders together. Items come out when they're ready. So moral of the story - order all burgers or all pizzas, unless you want half your food ice cold by the time the other half is ready. Also, I had to ask for the donuts and cider that I also ordered or I wouldn't have gotten them. Pizza was great. Portabella burger was cold and nothing special for $13. read more
