I had an incredible dining experience at Cider Press Vegan Gastropub ?The blue cheese burger was a standout, with a savory, perfectly seasoned plant-based patty and tangy vegan blue cheese that was just amazing. The Irish nachos were loaded with crispy home made potato chips and delicious toppings—perfect for sharing. To top it all off, I indulged in the fabulous key lime pie, which was the perfect blend of tart and sweet. Our waiter, DJ, was attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for creative and flavorful vegan food, this place is a must-visit!

The food was actually pretty good. But when it comes to online ordering, they got a lot of things to work on and got to make sure that customer service gets better. For some reason if you place an order online and they're out of one item, they cancel and refund the entire order instead of calling the customer to see if they want to substitute. So when you get ready to head down to the restaurant and you get a notification or you find out when you get there that your order has been refunded and canceled. Now you're hungry and frustrated when you were anticipating getting your food and leaving. At this particular time you have two options, to reorder your food and wait or go somewhere else. This is not good customer service. Cider Press staff has to fix that.
Thankfully after speaking to a manager we got a major discount on our re-order. But typically in situations like this I don't patronize a restaurant with this type of service again.

Terrible service! Waited too long for our food and then they brought the wrong dish. Then they made us wait longer and we ran out of time so we had to get it to go and then they didn’t bring the to go containers and made us wait for that. We also had to ask again for the check. Never going back.

Vegan paradise - but not JUST for vegans.
Let me start off by saying that my husband is vegan and I’m not vegan. We came here to celebrate buying a new mattress (nothing like spending money in celebration of spending money, haha)
We ordered the Thai-chili cauliflower wings as an appetizer. My husband loves spicy things, but I do not. They were not super spicy and we’re very sweet. Still crunchy, which is great and soft on the inside. 10/10. We did not get the ranch though that was supposed to come with it.
For the meal, we ordered two main dishes and split them:
1) Fish & Chips: (the “fish” is banana blossoms) Great flavor! Somehow both very juicy and very crunchy. Tartar sauce was flavorful and creamy, and the fries were great. 10/10 dish for us and we will be back for it!
2) Black & Blue Burger: (burger party is BeyondBeef) We thought this was delicious! The onions paired with the mushrooms worked perfectly and (while I still do not understand how vegan cheese can taste exactly like regular cheese) this blue cheese was out of this world. We ordered the garlic mashed potatoes for the side - my husband liked them but said “they could’ve been more garlic-y,” and I thought they needed salt. Not a side I would order again but honestly the burger was so good I didn’t care about the mash. 9/10 - only taking the point from the side haha .
The music was great, and a while there is no general theme of the restaurant (part tiki, part UK pride? Haha) the atmosphere was pleasant.
The only “critical” thing that I have to say is that the advertiser came out at the same time as the food. I prefer that my appetizer comes out before my main meal - and when they come out at the same time, I often don’t want the appetizer. If that was remedied, it would’ve been the perfect dining experience.
10/10 and highly would recommend this place.
Vegetarian options: The entire restaurant is vegan, so it is all vegetarian friendly.
Parking: Not a crazy amount of spots, but it didn’t seem like they were needed. There were several spots open in the lot, but that could be because the other businesses that share the same center were closed at this time of day. (Evening)

Great place for fun vegan food! We've been there twice over the weekend. We had the nachos, made with potato chips instead of corn chips. They are loaded with toppings and are so good. I also had the chicken katsu sandwich which was very, very good and crispy. My husband had the shepherds pie and liked it very much too. The wait staff, Taylor and Kira were very friendly as was chef Randall who came out to check on guests. We're going back again next weekend...and it's a 40 minute drive, if that tells you how much we liked it.

LOVE the presentation of the food, it looks delicious on the plate ?. It looks like the advertising pictures of food that usually don't look as great in person - but instead it looks and tastes great. Also love that there's TVs playing animal and nature videos - much calmer and more exciting for people like me than sports. The ciders are also really interesting - coming from a drinker who doesn't prefer beer. Also have to note that the server was top notch friendly.
Vegetarian options: Tons of vegan options.
Parking: One of the only spots in this area with its own dedicated easy access parking lot.

Nice room. Nice people. Good food. Updated from previous review on 2015-09-27
Cider Press is my “go-to”! The lasagna NEVER disappoints!! If you want a nice evening spot to enjoy a good drink and a good vegan meal…this is the place! Few our other favorites: Steak fries, Black & Bleu burger, Jambalaya balls, Cauliflower wings, truffle fries, and Irish nachos ?
