Grandpa's Cellar - Camino, California

Ashley

We came specifically for the coffee flights, based on what we saw on social media.

Pro tip: come first thing in the morning. We arrived right at 10am on a Thursday, and there were already people in line and we had to park in the overflow lot. It gets very crowded, and if you don't feel like waiting 30 minutes in line, I'd make it the absolute first stop of your trip, first thing in the morning.

We got their regular coffee flight. My husband and I shared one flight, which we were happy with, but they are a LOT smaller than they appear in social media. If you come with the assumption that these are true tastes and an experience more than anything, then it's perfectly fine.

Even with the 4 two-ounce tastings, I was happy to share. I liked two of them, and my husband liked the other two, so it was perfect.

If I remember correctly, they couldn't/wouldn't do flights with alternative milks, but they did have that option for full-sized orders.

Ultimately, we enjoyed ourselves and are glad we made the visit, but it wouldn't be an every-year visit for us like other locations on Apple Hill.

I came here because my daughter saw pictures of the flights online. We drove over an hour to get here.

There was no parking in the lot because of crowding...so we had to find other parking.

The line was at least a 30 minutes long to order.

When we placed our order the lady was very nice...and quick.

My daughter ordered the Halloween coffee flight...which was 15.00...I ordered the hot chocolate flight...which cost 15.00.

FYI...THE CUPS WITH THE FLIGHTS ARE ONLY LIKE 2 OZ EACH. THEY ARE VERY TINY...THE PICTURES ARE A BIT DECEIVING.

DONT BUY THE HOT CHOCOLATE FLIGHT...ITS GROSS.

The hot chocolate literally was watered down powder and it all tasted the same. The only good part was the very little whip cream on top with the small flavors...but the water chocolate ...all taste the same...gross. after sipping each chocolate to see if there was a different flavor...I just left it..ate the cream on top and threw it in the garbage...

I should have taken a video of all the people who dumped out the drink and did not finish it.

Unfortunately...I won't be coming back.

They sell desserts...but I did not buy any.

There is a food truck...a bit pricy though.

Picnic benches and tables to sit...but not enough. I had to drink mine standing up.

It's a good gimmick...but not that tasty.

This place is super cute! Unfortunately they only serve dessert and drinks. There was a food truck there which was nice. They have lots of seating areas. Their flights are such a great ideas. They are a little pricey but we didn’t mind since this is the reason we drove here.

This place is fun. It is a dessert stop, but does usually have a food truck. They have coffee, hot chocolate, and lemonade samplers as well as dessert. We enjoyed the churro, apple cobbler, and apple cider. The apple cider is amazing, and have a cute gift shop. Parking is difficult here and people walk from neighboring farm. The line starts before the place opens, but moves fairly quick.

We got the Apple cider, holiday coffee and hot chocolate flights and really liked them all. They have a lot of gluten-free options too and I got the pumpkin muffin and it was really moist and tasty.

The store was really cute too.

My daughter and I met up with some friends here on a weekday. While it was a bit busy, the visitors seemed to constantly be coming and going so it didn't feel overwhelmingly crowded. There was a line going into the bakery both times we went to purchase something but fortunately the wait wasn't crazy long. However during the second time we stood in line there was major confusion about where the line actually started, as there were two lines that had formed at each door and were forced to eventually merge together. This would be easily remedied with a large clear sign as to which door was the entrance and exit, and would have been really helpful for us because I could see and hear several customers getting irritated amongst themselves about who should have been served first. I was surprised to see that they had ube flavored hot chocolate and coffee so I had to try it out. Though I love the idea of the flights/samples they offer, the tiny amount you get for $15+ just wasn't worth it in my opinion. Actually, everything on their menu was a bit overpriced but this isn't surprising since literally every business in Apple Hill is overpriced. The caramel apple slices are absolutely delicious! We tried the Cookie Monster slices (though there was no blue marshmallow cream as advertised?) and though it was more than I would've liked to spend I'd definitely buy it again. 😅 I love that they provide lawn games for outdoor entertainment, and there is plenty of seating that is spread out so you don't feel crowded at all. Parking isn't the best but manageable I suppose. There's even a taco truck on-site as an additional food option. Overall a nice little spot!

I loved this apple farm as it wasn't as big as some so it was quaint. They had several gluten free options which made me happy and we had a hot apple cider flight (delicious). The little gift shop was adorable with some great gift ideas.

Can't wait to try their caramel apple pie as their salted caramel cookie was delish, hot chocolate flight is good for kids, but wait time can be crazy (30min to 1 hr) on a busy weekend. Iced coffees are decent. For flights come before 3pm
