Hallock's Cider Mill — Local services in Town of Riverhead

This has always been a go to place for us but that has come to an end. We stopped in super quick yesterday to pick up some flowers. As I was paying, a woman behind the counter noticed my husband having cigarette in our car. She abruptly beelined it from behind the counter, out the door and very loudly announced that it was a smoke-free property. It was loud enough that I became startled while paying and others that were in the lot all turned to look. Although my husband was sitting in our car, he obliged with “You got it” and extinguished his cigarette. She then came back into the store with a large grin, went behind the counter and began talking to another employee in a whisper, which I can only assume was about my husband, the man smoking inside of his own vehicle. While I understand more than most of the annoyances and issues of smokers, there is a way to treat people, especially those that are spending money at your business. There’s a way to approach people and address them and it seems this place needs some work on that. We shared our experience with friends and family and we’ll be getting our flowers, pies, veggies elsewhere. Treating people with kindness is actually...

We were looking for a hard cider spot and stumbled onto this place instead. It was such a great find! Cute farmstead with a ton of housemade goodies like pickled veggies, eggs, jams and preserves as well as fresh produce and of course unspiked sweet apple cider. We also usually go to another very well known farmstead spot for pies, but after trying a variety of their press this weekend, I'll be coming here for them!

Took home 7 small pies to taste test and usually you'll have a mix bag of hits and misses, however, each were phenomenal, like nobody had anything bad to say about ANY of them. Cheesecake was creamy, the fruit crumbles were made with fresh fruit and were sweet tart just enough, the peanut butter pie packed a heap of peanut flavor but was so so light, the sinful pie was aptly named :a light cheesecake mousse topped with coconut flakes, crunchy sweet pecans and chocolate... It really was sinfully delicious. Their Key lime pie was definitely some of the best I've tasted outside of FL and I'm a straight rhubarb only pie fan but their strawberry rhubarb pie won me and my fellow taste testers over. Planning to go back every weekend here on out just...

Their raspberry crumb cake is "the best crumb cake I've ever had". I get 3-6 every time I go because I have to get them for every family member. I clean house at this place... I also empty my bank account here lol. The sugarfree jams are... am I gonna say it? Yes I am, theyre my JAM. The Cheddar cheese is top notch. The sinful pie is just that, sinful. It's one of those things that if left in the freezer miraculously disappears. Who ate it? Nobody claims to have eaten it, but it sure is gone lol. The Keylime pie has a chocolate layer that perfectly balances its tartness. The Kellie bar is equally delicious. The blueberry cream pie is also a hit with us. All the bakes goods are perfection. We haven't had a single bad thing here. They also sell an array of seasonal fruits and veggies. They're closed for a few months after Xmas so do call before visiting in the winter months. Its a staple on the north fork and one of my...
