点评:We take about 3-4 day trips per year to southern VT. The Apple Barn is almost always part of our itinerary. They have a great gift shop full of VT treats including jams, jellies, a wide variety of maple products, baked goods, and numerous other nice souvenir items. They have wonderful cider donuts, but I do not recommend their iced coffee. We bought 2 today, which were about 16 oz each. The total was around $8.50, which was not surprising given that we were in a very "touristy" area; however, the coffee was NOT fresh. It was poured from a pitcher that was in their refrigerator. My guess is that it was at least a day old, if not more, as it was quite bitter, even after doctoring it up with cream and sweetener. We didn't take it back, but probably should have.
Switching gears to a few positives...their restrooms are super clean and there is no requirement to purchase anything to be able to use them. The decor in them is very fun.
The employees are very friendly.
In the fall, they sell pumpkins and have some fun free activities outside. One time (many years ago) they had a sling shot thing where you could shoot old apples at a target. There are several cool photo ops too including a giant painted moose out front.
Almost forgot to say...they have great cider too!
翻译:我们每年都会去佛蒙特州南部旅行3-4天。Apple Barn几乎是我们行程的一部分。他们有一家很棒的礼品店,里面摆满了佛蒙特特色小吃,包括果酱、果冻、各种各样的枫糖制品、烘焙食品以及许多其他精美的纪念品。他们有美味的苹果酒甜甜圈,但我不推荐他们的冰咖啡。我们今天买了两个,每个大约16盎司。总共花了大约8.50美元,考虑到我们身处一个“游客众多”的地区,这个价格并不奇怪;然而,咖啡并不新鲜。它是从他们冰箱里的水壶里倒出来的。我猜它至少放了一天,甚至更久,因为即使加了奶油和甜味剂,它仍然很苦。我们没有把它退掉,但或许应该退掉。
说说一些优点……他们的洗手间超级干净,而且使用时无需购买任何东西。里面的装饰很有趣。
员工们都很友好。
秋天,他们会卖南瓜,还会组织一些有趣的免费户外活动。有一次(很多年前),他们搞了一个弹弓游戏,你可以用老苹果射靶子。店里还有好几个很酷的拍照点,包括店门口一只巨大的彩绘驼鹿。
差点忘了说……他们还有很棒的苹果酒!
