We go there every year. We LOVE their apple pie and apple donuts. We will be going back this weekend to buy another pie. But I don't understand why a bag of apples are $18.00 a bag. It's a treat to buy a pie. But as a senior it seems too high for a bag of apples. We couldn't afford to buy any more. Thank you
So crowded, long lines, out of everything in the store, no actual apple picking. Fun corn maze and fall lake views.
Great apples, press and donuts. A great family outing.
This place was a great place to take our kids for a few hours and buy some yummy treats.
Best orchard in the Twin Cities. Busy at peak season.
I love this place when everything is open. I do like seeing the people working there and we always come away with great treats.
We have enjoyed going every year to get apples, donuts, and other goodies!!
It was the first time we went to an apple orchard and we absolutely loved it
vehicles are backed up miles on weekends. should go there week days.
Apple orchard used to have free hay rides and pick your own apples but those days are gone I guess.
Always crazy busy, and not dog friendly. But they do have Sweetangos
Beautiful orchard! Nice drive through Dellwood to get there, scenic hayride, pumpkin patch. I haven't done the corn maze. Lots of apple products for sale, bring your wallet. Small eatery on site. Dress for the weather, if it is inclement they will shut down outdoor activities and reevaluate later in the day. A nice family activity. It is always busy here!
Been a tradition to come here since I was little. The Apple popovers and donuts are a must. Hayrides and pumpkin patch are a lot of fun but be ready to wait on weekends. The apple variety is decent and what they do have is great quality and decently priced.
The best apple cider and their apples are great too
We were new to Pine Tree and thought it would be a fun place to take the kids but shortly after arriving we realised it was more like a store. You are unable to pick your own apples which is what we were looking for in an apple orchard.
Lovely apple orchard, hayride, corn maze, and pumpkin patch, all in one. The shop was particularly busy during the Minnesota Education Association weekend. It took about 30 minutes to check out. But the variety of apples and kid friendly activities made it worth it.
Very scenic route, the road is curvy and the trees lean into the roadway. In a big truck go slow and be careful.
The best of the best. Great pies and turnovers plus much more.
This has been a family tradition ever since I was very young. We always look forward to it and it never disappoints.
Always a family favorite. The orchard is fun to walk around. The baked goods are amazing
Sub-par experience. Maybe Pandemic related maybe not. Staff seemed a bit scattered and underprepared. Still enjoyed the few trees with apples.
The only thing more amazing that Pine Tree Apple Orchard is me.
Been coming here since I was a kid. Great place for an inexpensive family outing, and the apple turnovers are the best!
Can't leave the Pine Tree salesroom without delving into a delicious slice of Minnesota's best apple pie. Enjoy it with the orchard's equally delish cinnamon ice cream! Sometimes I add a sugared apple doughnut along with Dickey's unique apple topping to the mix ... a pure heavenly epicurean delight!
This place has a lot of stuff to do, the corn maze, wagon rides, pumking picking and the most important thing a lot of apple and a lot of goodies like donuts,apple pie, muffins. It's a good place to go!.
Really love the grounds here. Rolling hills with beauty all around, a great place for a picnic with the family or even a nice date. I would like to comment on a previous review. The facility does actually have many benches and tables to sit on/at, handicap parking spaces, and easy access into the store. It would not be suitabke for a wheelchair to access the orchard, but everything else is accessible. I'm deducting one star only because the restrooms are porta-potties, which is extremely difficult when you have small children. It's hard to plan a family outing when there are no bathrooms suitable for children. We would have spent a lot more time, and potentially more money here otherwise. I also wish they had some kind of lunch foods (even pre-made sandwiches or salads or a soup option to make a full meal in the cafe). The cafe bakery serves delicious fresh apple pastries, and they are reasonably priced and did I say delicious already? My advice to other families is to pack a nice lunch and come for a walk through the orchard, have a picnic by the lake, let the kids run and roll down the hills, and then finish off with a delicious apple rollover or apple pie. The store has a large variety of just about any apple product you could think of. Stop by the apple factory and then the store on your way out. The Orchard also offer many fall festivities beginning in mid September through October including hay rides, pumpkin patch, and live music.
It's absolutely fabulous and the apple turnovers are just amazing and the cookies and the Apple delight bread are all YUM
Yummy Apple pie and cinnamon ice cream. Good selection of apples.
A good place to bring the family for fall apples! Close to beautiful White Bear Lake with a charming downtown. It's fun to watch the Apple sorting and there's a good variety of apples and handmade baked goods. Not a place for dairy free food (strange since most apple pies commercially made are dairy free) but great jams and fruit "butters". Gorgeous drive to the farm as well.
I love this place. Excellent apple pie and turnovers, donuts, bread, cookies, etc. Outside they have a pond and pumpkin patch, hay rides, etc.
We had a great time there today. The grandkids loved the corn maze.
Doesn't even have the option to pick your own apples...isn't that supposed to be part of the whole apple orchard experience..???
The conveyor belt was working and it was fun to watch the line workers bagging the apples.
The selection of baked products is quite extensive. I purchased pies, cake and donuts. I missed the harvest of the Wealthy apple my favorite, and took the suggestion of staff for the available best apple for baking. Also bought a couple of carmel apples for a delicious treat.
I set up a group event for adults with disabilities. Gus was our wagon guide, and a very nice guy. For 6.50 each person got to ride the wagon, pick an apple, and pick a pumpkin. Everyone had a great time and the place is beautiful. Tons of cool stuff to buy as well. Would highly recommend. Thanks again from New Directions, Inc.
Great old time feel, delicious variety of apples, and tasty bakery items. Very fun family activity- watching the apple sorting machine was fascinating!
Cute little stop, locally owned orchard with a big store that sells everything apple - cider, pie, caramel on a stick, syrup, cookies, etc. Family took the wagon ride, it's a short drive through the orchard with a tour guide that gives you history on the place. Would visit again if they had an event or something going on. Otherwise there's not much to do unless you just need to buy apple flavored everything.
Use to come here with my Grandpa every year. He passed away last here, now I go with my family!
Love it here.
Best orchard around, love their baked goods and apples
Fun place to take the kids. Many different types of apple dishes. Pies, donuts, pastries, breads, cider, etc. Place to sit and eat them. Can walk through the orchard or take a wagon ride.
Nice orchard, but if you were hoping to pick apples you will be very disappointed! We brought the kids to pick apple needless to say were very unhappy. Don't think I will be back!
Was bummed that they had closed down the orchard for the day (admittedly cold and rainy) but didn't post anything to their website. We could have called but who does that anymore?
Amazon. Donuts! Great Apple pie too! Fun lawn for kids to run around on during the week. We took a wagon ride through the orchard and here was a beautiful view on one of the bluffs! The kids loved it too. Oh, and it was so sweet, the driver took pics for us before the ride started!
We also purchased some honey crisp apple as - they taste incredible!
My daughter had a great time picking out a pumpkin and my wife was very happy with the pie I made with the apples we bought.
It s a neat place to bring your kids and sit by the lake and with the nice breeze. The store inside is kind of small but it s a neat place.
Beautiful location with a lot of activities. Large store and a small bistro onsite.
Fantastic place with great caramel apples and other baked goods.
Apple turnover are much smaller than last year and the same price hmmm??? Best apples ever ...worth the drive!
Great apples..the Apple Pie is wonderful...the best around. All of their baked goods are very good!
We bring a large group of students every summer to pick strawberries, and it's a highlight field trip for sure. Nice staff, and really nice berries
Drove all the way out from St. Paul today to pick up pies for my family in Wisconsin and they are closed. Google hours say they are open 10 am to 5pm today. Also, website did not indicate they were closed. Business needs to update their hours and website to keep updated as appropriate. Tiny sign next to mailbox indicates closed until at least 8/15/18. So...put that online for us, please.
Love this place in the fall for apples! Lots to do, tractor rides, pumpkin patch, corn maze.....very kid friendly. Awesome little cafe for homemade treats. Its an annual place for us to visit for many years.
I can't walk around the trees during the week. apples are kind of expensive.
I have not been there yet but give them 5 stars just for being open mid November. I called two other orchards west of Minneapolis to find both closed for the season. Boo hoo! I want an apple pie and look forward to my first experience at Pine Tree ... later today! I also look forward to watching the Apple sorter mentioned in another review.
Wish I cld leave sooner as I just read they have amazing apple cider chocolate chip cookies. OMG! I might have to move in!
Thank you Pine Tree Apple Orchard for being open through February!!! WOW!
Beautiful grounds and store. Helpful staff. The apples are delicious! They have amazing homemade pies, turnovers, and other desserts. Fair prices. Free parking. Open year round. Picnic tables and plenty of space to enjoy nature.
Many great apple pastries, cookies, etc. Fun family atmosphere!
I don't have a picture, but it is delicious and along with that it looks very appetizing. The person that took my order was very helpful and sorry I forgot your name. Sent my son in to get the pie and he said if I had $50.00 I could spend that much on "goodies" of all kinds. Thank you very much and I will be calling you to get some strawberries for eating at home.
Absolutely best orchard in twin cities area! They take pride in there great fresh quality. I go there for every fruit season because I know I'm not going to ever get old or moldy fruit. It's always top quality. And their turnovers are amazing!
We came here to pick our own apples and surprise!!!!! You can't (CANNOT) pick your own apples, but I GOT TO SPEND 20$ ON 11 HUGE Honey Crisp Apples and we also got Pure maple syrup! We are so upset and disappointed! Oh SWELLS
I love that place. I'm nearly a regular. I've always loved their apples, pie, caramel apples, but today I realized how delicious their cider is. Gotta go back for more!
Great orchard with lots of goodies to take home. Apple doughnuts and apple crisp are my favorite.
Excellent strawberry farm and apple orchard with hay rides, pony rides (at times) and a great general store offering a wide range of delicious food, pastries, cider and other things. Corn mazes in the fall too. Well worth the trip. Check their hours first. They are only open seasonally from Mid-June to mid-July (strawberries) and again from August to March. Plenty of parking is available.
Great family fun! Everyone loves the apple donuts!
Always love this place for the treats! Oatmeal raisin cookies, apple donuts, cider, and they're apple syrup is amazing!!
Awesome food served to eat there or bring home. Fresh & frozen treats. Good prices, super friendly staff. Always a good time.
The place is great, it's just so busy and the lines are incredibly long
Was a fun experience, loved the hay ride to your the apple orchard. Was bummed that we couldn't walk through the apple trees like we had done the year before. Also enjoy all the yummy treats inside the store. Also bought and tried a new apple this year which was delicious. Highly recommend going to see this orchardm
This is my favorite of all of the metro apple orchards. It gets busy but never insane like some of the others.
Nice orchard - not overcrowded. I enjoy pick your own, but also understand that not all places do this. Sweet place and cool staff.
