The new products I see on my yearly visit, from Florida. Always enjoy shopping there. I don't mind waiting in line like some others posted negatively. That means people enjoy Cold Hollow and all that it offers. 🥰

Tasty cider, wonderful donuts, and a beautiful area to visit. Ordered cider and donuts for family for Christmas and they all loved the cider, pancake mix, and maple donuts.

The Apple cider is outstanding, maybe the best I’ve ever had. In the back, you can sample it straight from the press for free, I may have had a cup or four. Cool store and unique items to purchase (though a bit overpriced, you’re paying for the name).

Reason for 4 stars? Donuts should never be served pre packed and cold, like we received. They taste good, but not cold. Donuts should be freshly bagged and warm out of the bag, instead we got cold donuts that looked like they’d been sitting on the shelf a while.

Cider donuts and apple cider very delicious.

Insanely friendly staff. Probably the friendliest in Vermont. Also, not a fan of apple cider donuts without sugar, but these didn't have it, and were THE BEST apple cider donuts I've ever had.

Can't say anything but, what a great place!

Brad Hansen

Absolutely delicious apple cider! It was definitely some of the best I've ever had. The donuts were good as well, if not slightly oily.

Was really excited to get a dreamee. Received a rock. Will never return.

The negative Google reviews for this place are a joke. Several reviews complain about the crowds, price, and taste of the donuts and cider.

Cold Hollow wouldn't have grown to what it is today selling "really bad" tasting donuts or "apple juice" flavored cider. Both of these products are fantastic! I have been ordering both every fall and devour both in a matter of a few days.

I went to the store for the first time recently, and the donuts are even better fresh from the store. As for the cider, it does vary in flavor throughout the year as the seasons change, but I have never had the "bad" cider others have mentioned.

It's a shame reviewers are blaming the crowds on the business itself. Why is it their fault everyone wants to be there at the same time? Maybe go on a weekday and help thin the crowds out. We went on a Sunday afternoon, and the crowds weren't bad at all.

As for the price, yes, it's true. Don't go to a place like this looking for a deal. Every place like this charges a premium for their products they curate for their customers. Yes, you can get some things cheaper at other stores, but here it's all collected for your ease of purchase. If you can get it somewhere else cheaper, then do it, but you aren't going to find those donuts or the cider anywhere else. If you don't like the price, quit complaining and don't buy it.

Go to Ben & Jerry's and Cabot down the street and see how reasonable their prices are. It's a treat to go to any of these places. You can't find places like these just anywhere. Stay home, save your money, quit whining, and save the room for me at the store if it's that bad.

Keep doing what you are doing, guys!

The cider here is delicious and the gift shop is really impressive. I like the cafe next door where you can try the mill’s hard ciders and other local beers.

We tried both cold and hot cider, everyone preferred the cold one. It was a lot more refreshing but the hot one is not bad either. Honestly, the sampling apple cider was the best make sure to try it. The donuts are really really good, the first time I actually taste the flavor of a donut instead of just sugar. Must try donut and apple cider.

Comfortable, friendly, well-run. We stopped for ciders and a light lunch just in time to miss the crowd.

Cold Hollow is a must when in the area. The selection of items is vast, so take your time. The real treats are the donuts and of course the best apple cider I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting, and believe me I’ve had a lot. We had hot mulled and cold cider, so try both with your donuts. All of Vermont’s best goodies are under one roof, so enjoy!

Very nice place and the products are good but very busy because of social networks, 45 minutes of waiting in line to buy a donut…

We, regrettably, could not make it by in person during our August/September trip this year. To make up for our failing, we've ordered 4x since returning. Best Apple cider we've ever had. Great packing and fast shipping. Everything we've purchased has been incredible. Now to infuse our sad Texas Winter with some Vermont, my wife purchased me a Vermont Hoodie.

If you can't be there in person, ordering online is the next best thing. Thanks to all involved.
