Navarino Orchard

Pastries were delicious and this was a great spot for harvest host. We will make another stop here for sure!

We went to Navarino for apple picking and lunch, and had such a great time we went back for brunch another day.

We loved that the orchard was dog friendly, and that we could walk out and pick wherever we saw apples. We got lots of honeycrisps, and some apples for baking as well. There were lots of other dogs around, so it's definitely best for well behaved dogs, but we didn't find it too crowded overall.

The café was very good. We had delicious burgers for lunch, and I enjoyed a cider mule as well. When we returned for brunch, I had the breakfast poutine- which was good but a huge serving and plenty to share- and my husband had the breakfast sandwich. We also got a mimosa flight which was good! The tables outside are dog friendly, and they had heaters running for the tables inside.

The Apple fritter line was long when we first arrived, but went down later in the day, so I'd recommend waiting for a shorter line. The store is also great. Their cider is very good, and they have a nice selection of cheeses and meats like steak and bacon. We love the peanut butter cookies they sell as well!

Absolutely love to do our apple picking here. Delicious honey crisp apples. All of the employees are so kind and helpful. There are several animals, rows of a variety of trees and outside fritter counter.

This is our Apple picking spot every year. We simply love it

Wanted to edit this because they've added a Restaurant with a simple yet delicious menu. It's small but spacious, elegant with space for entertainment. Can't wait to go back, try more and enjoy more. My wife and I were delighted by how delicious everything was. Can't wait to come back for more! Enjoy!!

Another update! Went for Brunch, then apple picking! Brunch was delicious. The French Toast made with apple bread was great. The Eggs Benedict and Home fries were an absolute smash hit. Truly made you perfection and they need to keep that recipe as is and never change it! We also got the apple cider mimosas, very nice! So please, keep Enjoying!!

I haven't made it in to the barn with fireplace and drinks to keep warm with, both alcoholic and non alcoholic, which looked very inviting but we wanted to get home and get baking. Lots of apple choices you can walk a short distance to, easily found by the signs at the end of the rows. A wagon occasionally runs through likely more useful after picking an abundance of apples, but we chose to walk and enjoy the view and the fresh air. Paying is easy at the shed on the way out and the shop has lots of apple foods and items as well as maple syrup and bbq sauces which were also out front with a very good tasting offered. Fresh baked apple pies, donuts, etc also in the shop. I grabbed a candy apple for a friend. We were picking the weekend of the apple festival in Lafayette and while busy was not overcrowded or over commercialized. We also pick other fruits here in season!

I went here yesterday with my friend for the Harry Potter 20 year anniversary celebration. When we pulled up there was a HUGE line, and we thought whoa! What are they waiting for?
Turns out the orchard underestimated the turn out for the event. They were swamped! And the crew was working as hard as they possibly could to keep everyone happy. We stood in line for about an hour and a half, but it was really a lot of fun. The owner came out multiple times, apologized and made sure everyone was as happy as they could be. They even talked about making it an annual two-day event, which everyone seemed very happy with.
I would definitely go back for the apple and strawberry picking, not to mention the fun events

This was our first time getting brunch here, there was plenty of barn seating and a few outdoor tables. You order at the bar off a limited menu. There is no tapwater, if you want water you pay two dollars extra. They are also not very flexible with the menu, for instance someone requested a side of bacon and that was a no go. We ordered the French toast of the day which was made with apple bread and very tasty. Coffee was ok, no specialty coffees but lots of booze options if you're a morning drinker :) I recommend checking out the baked goods in the market afterwards, they look great!

Came out to do some apple picking over the weekend. I was worried that because it was a bit later in the season, it might be slim pickings, but there were quite a few varieties ripe and ready. The orchard posts which types of apples are pickable on their Facebook page.

Location-wise, this spot is a big of a drive from Syracuse. We passed 3 or 4 other orchards on our way, so I suppose you could do a crawl if you were so inclined. The drive out was pretty pleasant, nice scenery.

Our first stop upon arriving was the fritter stand (only open on the weekends, to my knowledge.) My friend got the fritters and I got a fritter sundae and we both got hot cider. They were delicious, perfectly warm and tasty. Also, the family's cute dog came and said hello.

We arrived around 10:30 or 11 and it wasn't too crowded, though it picked up a bit by the time we left-- still, not overwhelming. The rows of trees were marked and easy to walk, and there were some ladders strewn about to help reach the tall branches. The price was very reasonable.

We hit up the gift shop before we left and scored some cider donuts and cheap veggies. (Seriously, farm stands are the best. We got tons of cheap squash.) The staff was very friendly and you can tell that this place is family run and customer centric. Great spot to visit in the fall.

Went to Navarino to pick apples and grab lunch. One thing I love about this orchard is that they let you pick whatever is ripe, rather than only picking one kind like some of the other orchards in the area. We tried the new cafe for the first time. The burger was super flavorful and the fries were good. My fiancé got the roast beef sandwich and said that was good as well, although he thought it would be even better hot. They have a good selection of local beer and local liquor in their cocktails. We both got the hard cider. It had good flavor and wasn't super sweet, which is what we like. I'll definitely be back again for apple picking and food/drinks!

I've been going here since I was a kid. The orchard an it's operations have grown significantly since then. The cafe was a new addition this year. The beef sandwich was great, the apple sauce was homemade (obviously) and great, my fiancé got the burger and fries which were good as well. I'm not a big hard cider fan as I usually find them too sweet, Navarino's was very good as it was dry and not too sweet. Would recommend
