Love this place! Owners are always so friendly and it's just such a nice cozy spot. All their ciders are great, haven't tried one I didn't like. Our kids even love coming to play all the games they have there.

Nice selection of ciders and very friendly owners with a small but inviting taproom. We've had their Honey Sage, Peach & Lemon Verbena, and Hibiscus Mint at other local breweries and really enjoyed them, so decided to stop in upon learning that they had a taproom. We got a flight of their Puns n Roses, Zin, Ginger Peppercorn, Arkansas Black, Nehou Normal, and Jonathan, of which we liked the first two. Also got a bottle to go of their Coffee Chaff and Bourbon Barrel, which was very different from any of the other ciders we tried. We had a good time and look forward to coming back!

We happen to be driving by and decided to stop in and got a flight. Everything we sampled was delicious and ended up buying three bottles to take home with us. The owner was working the bar and was very nice and informative. We will be back.

I had the pleasure of going to a private event for a birthday party last night and had the time of my life. Some might say the space is small, but I would call it intimate. My husband and I had the ginger peppercorn and the dry hopped ciders- they tasted amazing. Just enough sweetness but didn't mess my stomach up like other high sugar ciders do. As a gluten free person, I appreciated all the love they put into their ciders, you can definitely taste it. Will definitely be coming back to support this small family business.

Great service for tasting, and some of the best tasting ciders I've ever had! Would highly recommend the honey sage and ginger peppercorn.
I am mostly a beer guy, but I have definitely found a place when I am in the mood for something different! In today's world, it's hard to find a place that checks all the boxes needed for a great spot. Blindwood Cider Company has not only a truly tasty product, but a taproom with an added thing that is missing from most other places: a fantastic vibe! The owners, Drew and Cathy, are 2 of the nicest people you will meet. It is as if you were invited into their own home! This is truly one of those "hidden gems". (San Leandro folks, think ala Cleophus Quealy Brewery.....R.I.P). As far as the ciders go, they are all apple based/blended....but there are still just SO many choices! I recommend a flight for your first trip. Between their staples, seasonals, specialties, and bottle pours, there is a lot to choose from! Don't be afraid to ask for help! Drew is also the brewer, and can answer those type of questions if neeefed! If you haven't had a cider, you should really give this place a try. In my numerous visits, I have yet to have a selection that I didn't enjoy. With choices like Ginger Peppercorn, Honey Sage, and Arkansas Black, it is truly difficult for me to pick a favorite! I have already "converted" a couple of my beer drinker friends and a wine drinker into putting cider into their rotations! The ciders are on tap, and some are bottle poirs. Most everything is available to go as well. There is no food, just snacks for purchase....but you can bring your own food in and sometimes they have food trucks. The taproom is a bit on the smaller side, but everyone is friendly and will even share tables if needed. They are only open limited days and hours as of now, so be sure to verify before you head out. Check out Blindwood Cider Company for yourself......you AND your taste buds will be glad that you did!

Used to sell boutique wines, spirits, beers, ciders. This place has some of the most interesting, unique, creative, and delicious ciders I’ve ever tried. You’ll appreciate what they have whether you’re a beer, wine, or cocktail enthusiast. Right near the disc golf course and an easy trip from the highway. They have stuff in bottle shops too. Awesome spot!

Look, I don’t usually like cider. Drew and Cathy have me converted. Craft cider that I can actually drink more than one? Yes please. I’m a huge fan of the Bourbon Barrel Coffee Chaff cider. It’s incredible. Stop by and check them out! No ragerts.
