Geo Cider — Restaurant in Squamish

where do we start...

we came here because the line at back country was too long, I wish there was no wait or I could have saved myself some money

we walked in and ordered both of the two options for flights, a shame you can’t build your own but we understand that they are new and they probably build their menu like that for a reason

both flights were intolerable. when they say they are dry, they mean they taste like aspartame. they mostly unfortunately had a very sickly sweet taste to them, we couldn’t finish our flights. I really wanted to like them, I love ciders! but I couldn’t they tasted so bad.

then came the food. looking at other reviews, we wish we could have tried the food others received. the only thing on the menu was three different flavours of what felt like a frozen pizza popped in the oven for 5 minutes. the arugula was baked in with the cheese, interesting choice. it is usually added on top after cooking for a very good reason. the pizza was also the size of my face for the mean price of $15. it’s personal size for sure, i don’t have a big face. there was no flavour. our chips and salsa were tostitos for sure, i love tostitos but wasn’t expecting them to be delivered to me at a nice new cidery.

it’s a beautiful space, but unfortunately the furniture all felt like it was bought at a liquidation warehouse from an old italian place. tacky decorations.

I wish our experience could be different, but unfortunately we won’t be recommending it to any of our friends. if you can bare the wait at back country, it’ll be worth it i promise. you can get take out beers from the cold room and get a pizza to go. it will...

Came here because Backcountry was too full. We got two flights and the cider was pretty mediocre. Of the 8 ciders we tried (actually 9, because we got the mulled cider too), only the Old World and the Blood Orange were palatable for us. The rest, you can toss. They were kind of sickly sweet, like Stevia or Sweet'n'low. I couldn't exactly pin point it, but someone else's review mentioned aspartame, and they couldn't be more accurate. They tasted artificial, anyhow. Like diet soda.

Initially we were greeted pretty well. But the manager (I'm pretty sure, because she sat with a laptop most of the time), didn't like to wear a mask. Even though I literally saw her lecture a staff member about theirs. When she wasn't interacting with a guest, her mask was off. To and from the kitchen, at a table she sat at, on the way to the rest room. No mask. We left after one round because she didn't strike us as someone who took the pandemic seriously and she was just a bit too close.

Covid protocols are a deal breaker for us, whether or not the cider was...

Love this place. The food, the staff, the atmosphere and to my surprise, cider! I've always been a beer guy so sampling a flight of cider was a stretch for me to begin with. When we walked in for brunch on Sunday, customers were enjoying mimosas flavored with cider. A blood orange mimosa was enough of a gateway for me. That led to a flight of everything else which led to me walking out with my favorite in cans. (that's the benefit of this being an actual cidery). The food was amazing. I had a braised beef hash that made me crave it ever since. (Diabolical really) Someone else partook in the cheeseburger Benny, which also looked amazing. Conveniently located down the road from the Squamish Walmart, I can eat, drink and then go check out some bigger sweatpants. Hyperbole aside, I can't imagine I'll be passing through Squamish without making a stop at Geo Cider co...
