The food and drink are great, the obnoxious Blonde guy working there is loud, and foul-mouthed. Kids and all in the shop and he is loudly swearing, and talking to other employees and some friends of his. Made what would have been a solid 5 star experience 2 at best, because of him. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

The cider selection is excellent, but unfortunately, they do not permit dogs, even in the outdoor seating area.
