Delicious Orchards

What can I say. it’s D.O.!! It speaks for itself. This place is still awesome after all these years. I brought friend with me who had never been there and she was as giddy as I get when in there. Sadly we got there late and missed all the free samples but had plenty of apple yummy cider. There cakes, pies and donuts are still delicious. Had to get my applesauce Raisin cake.mmmm.n cinnamon powdered apple cider donuts. The produce is always perfect and always fresh. They did move around some stuff so I did get confused where my peppers went too. I do miss seeing the beautiful rainbow colors of all their peppers against the one wall but now it’s a refrigerator section. Ok. sad face. But summers coming and so are my Jersey Fresh UGLY TOMATOES!!! YUMMMMMM. The perfect tomato to make a tomato sandwich. Employees still helpful and pleasant always. Plenty of new cheeses to try. Can’t wait for summer. salsas, salads and delicious produce. Woohoo. Let’s not forget the delicious apple cider. So if your new to Jersey or just been living under a rock ur whole entire life come check out D.O. picking season is coming too. So bring the kids and pick your own berries and fruits. Definitely worth a trip even to the snack bar.

This place is adorable. Love the shop. However I must say I was disappointed with the pie and cider I purchased. I purchased a strawberry/​rhubarb pie and was expecting a fabulous pie with lots of tart flavor. What I got was a bland crust filled with a gloppy flavorless filling. I also purchased the cranberry apple cider. Once again bland and flavorless. So disappointed. I’ll give them another visit but I’m not sure if any of their other offerings will be any better.

Been coming here for over 20 years! It just gets better and better. I travel over an hour to get there and it is worth it every time!

California gal here and I have a confession: I would swear off any west coast allegiance I have if it meant having a DO next door to me.
Whenever I visit my aunt in Marlboro, I make sure we make a trip here to buy apple cider, pies, dried fruit, and visit the storefront where they sell fresh apple fritters and apple cider slushy in addition to sandwiches and snacks.
What’s not to love about Delicious Orchards? The store lies on sprawling, beautiful grounds with ample parking. The layout is really organized so you know exactly where to get the baked goods, meats, cheeses, produce, coffee varietals, chocolates, candies, and APPLE CIDER. They also have an amazing variety of flowers and greens.
I love how festive they are as well. When a holiday is around the corner, DO is pulling out all the stops. Ghost and pumpkin-​shaped cheeses for Halloween, fresh smelling wreaths everywhere for Christmas, Stars and Stripes on everything for the 4^th of July.
My favorites are:
the apple cider and cider samples
blueberry pie
apple cider donuts
the coffee counter
dried fruit and nut selection
If you’re in the area, check this place out… especially in the autumn when the leaves are just to die for.

I love DO. Their bakery and produce department is so fresh. I’m giving them a 4* cause their prices can be a bit high.
Best to go off season and during the week. Favorites are: English muffin bread, apple cider donuts, macaroons, free coffee, different nut butter tasting and organic produce.

Amazing market! If you want pies especially pumpkin pie during the holidays, this is the ONLY place to go. Great cheeses and bakery too. Def check it out.

Impressive array of produce, a large bakery area — this store reminded me a bit of Stew Leonard’s back in Connecticut. Lots of Free samples, the Apple Cider is very tasty ! The only reason I’m giving it 4 Stars instead of 5 Star is PRICE — everything here is very expensive.
If you are seeking a unique item that you can’t get anywhere else, then by all means, buy it here. But for average run-​of-​the-​mill stuff, I’d buy it for half price elsewhere. I imagine that most people living in the immediate area are pretty well off, so prices don’t concern them much. But this store is worth the trip, you’ll find something you can’t get anywhere else and have a good time walking around in the process.

I have been going here for close to 15 years. The fruit and vegetables are extremely fresh and when you buy here, you know you are getting the best. Everything is very pricey but well worth it.

If you want good, fresh food, this is the place to go. You will pay for that privilege though. Very pricey but they have an incredible variety of everything!

We travel there at least once a season. Have to get some baked goods. Get the doughnuts. I prefer the strawberry rhubarb pie. Don’t go hungry. You will buy a lot of dood.

If you’re coming to get pies on thanksgiving, give yourself some extra time. The line tends to be 3 rows deep and wraps around the building. That being said, it moves impressively fast, helped by the efficient store workers handing out fresh boxed pies in a line when you first enter.
There isn’t much that market doesn’t have.
If you’re feeling hungry and want a meal– stop by the cider café and grab yourself a sandwich or salad. I had a broccoli soup and a Greek salad the other day– both were fantastic.
Also, cinnamon sugar Apple cider donuts and apple cider make the world go round.

Delicious Orchards makes the best cherry cheesecake ever!!! Every time I am in the area visiting friends, I come and shop here. Just for the cheesecake alone. Ha. Well we all come and shop here. The produce section has the freshest fruits. In the bakery section, the desserts and breads are amazing. They are so fresh and the aroma is addicting. The walnut ring is delish. Omg the place is amazing. The staff are super friendly. And they have tons of products anything pumpkin. I love pumpkin. I am so happy my friends introduced me to this nice market. Of course, I shall return. I love this place.

A shoppers wonderland for the best produce around. Freshest vegetables and they last so long So much variety of fruits and vegetables. They also have an organic section. They carry Boars Head cold cuts in the deli and they have a fresh meat Dept. The section to the right of the deli has prepared foods. Fantastic selection of cheese, baked breads, pies, homemade soups, pizza and a gluten free section. Fabulous coffee department. Inside they have a juice bar and outside a place to get sandwiches. They also have a cart with donuts and hot cider. Everything about this place is great.

Although I call Richmond, Virginia home now I grew up in Colts Neck in the seventies and eighties, when it was transforming from a sleepy little farm town into a place where Bruce Springsteen lives. Through all the changes, though, there was always Delicious Orchards, or, in local parlance, DO. Back in the day this is where one picked up the holiday pies or scooped up some awesome apple cider donuts and ice-​cold cider to brighten a Saturday morning. It wasn’t a supermarket or even a market, just an «apples, pies, cider and donuts» place.
Times change, as do people and places, and DO is no different. I still have family in the area and «do you want to go to DO» is a given, not a question when I visit them. DO has grown into a lovely little market. Its tuna and chicken salads are tremendous, particularly on hard rolls, to my displeasure unknown outside of the Garden State (yes, central Jersey supermarkets, I’m the freak in the Yankees cap cleaning you out of hard rolls, which are destined for my freezer and will be my year’s supply). I have brought DO pumpkin and apple pies to Virginia potlucks and am believed to be the best baker on the planet, although I would be more than happy to reveal my source (PS – the pies freeze well). And they have Shickhaus franks. Population of central New Jersey, SHICKHAUS FRANKS ARE UNKNOWN OUTSIDE THIS AREA – ENJOY THEM OR START STASHING THEM.
My Virginia born-​and-​bred husband knows the drill when we head up to my native land. We WILL bring five giant coolers. We WILL pick up a few bags of ice. We WILL stop by ShopRite to clean it out of hard rolls. And we WILL hit up DO for pies, meat salads, donuts, cider, huge hot dogs and exotic mustards. We will probably run into someone who knew me as a preteen in the seventies. If we go on a Sunday, we’ll probably run into Bruce and Patti if Jessica doesn’t have an event somewhere.

I was here for their annual Apple Fest! My nephews were super excited to see a line up of at least 20 antique cars being displayed right behind the crazy big market here on Delicious Orchards. There were a couple of games, face painting, farm animals for petting, clowns twisting up balloon animals, and live music. The line for their apple fritters was worth the wait. Delicious Orchards’ famous apple cider was fantastic, the cider slushes were also a big hit. We missed out on their seasonal apple ice cream, but they offered other flavors, including Toasted Coconut and Black Raspberry, both delicious. Got our hands on some apple flavored cotton candy, apple pie, and some pastries before heading back home.

Delicious Orchards is an absolute dream and a half.
I’d shop here everyday if it didn’t mean an hour drive out to Colts Neck and death by pie overload.
Luckily, when I’m down at my parents new digs in Manalapan I’m not too far from this whimsical grocery shop. Everything is so perfect, that it nearly looks fake. In the produce section you’ll find shiny and vibrant fruit without a bruise or a scratch in sight. In the bakery area there are plentiful amounts of pies, biscuits and of course, their infamous apple cider cakes and donuts. Although I typically come in for produce or baked goodies it’s a full service supermarket with meat, dairy, dry goods and anything else you could possibly need. They’ve also got an area with homemade coffee and fresh ground peanut butter. Outside you’ll find some seasonal activities and food stands as well. During the summer there’s an ice cream cart and during the fall months you can sit out amongst the foliage and grab a hot apple cider and donut combo.
The prices are definitely a tad higher then your run of the mill supermarket, but that’s because this is anything but an ordinary grocery experience. I can’t to come back in the fall for their incredible pumpkin pie!

A lot to look at and a lot of temptation to buy. Everything looks so delicious and fresh! The produce, nuts, not only is it in abundance, but the colors are so vibrant that you want to buy it just for the hell of it.
Big store, clean, open space, where you want to roam around.
Only came here a couple of times with my mother in the past. Truthfully, I remember more about the desserts like donuts, pies, etc than anything else because me and my sister would peruse powdered donuts or apple pies and beg our mom to buy them!
Friendly workers — my mom made a comment about apple cider and said something aloud to me about it being organic, and a worker overheard us and answered us. Talk about taking initiative.
Given what they sell, and the warm and welcoming farm vibe, expect to deal with crowds and long lines/​waiting when paying.

This is the best place on earth and if i could give it 12 stars i would.
the BEST produce, bakery, deli, EVERYTHING.
Everything is good and top quality here but here’s a list of my faves: eclairs (best i ever had), peaches and tomatoes in the summer, apples in the fall, apple cider donutssss!, their tuna salad, chicken salad, gosh everything is so damn good. And they have a lot of ready made soups, house made bell and evans chicken burgers, list goes on.
Not only are the products great, it’s an enjoyable, clean environment with fast friendly service. you can have lunch, coffee, snacks there as well.

Best blueberry crumble pie ever! So we are Hand carrying some home to Los Angeles. We Also tried their fresh apple fritters from the fritter shack today — yum!
Bought a bunch of other baked goods that we are looking forward to trying.

Never have I seen a market with lines out the door. First thought: must be good, or there’s free stuff. Verdict: good, but no free stuff. I think a majority of people in the central Jersey area knows of Delicious Orchards and some of us in North Jersey hear about it too. I heard about it from a few friends and decided to come after pumpkin picking. Parking was surprisingly abundant despite the huge lines.
The crowd was almost out the door. I came on a Saturday afternoon and got a glimpse of most of their stock. My purchases: their apple cider, cider donuts, and pastries. My date got 2 pies and told me they were amazing so there’s that. Their produce looked great and were reasonably priced. Not cheap but the quality looked fantastic.
They also sell their cider and donuts outside. I think one of the most unfortunate things happened to me while I was here on my date. I ordered one donut (you know, to be all lady-​like), picked at it politely … And dropped it on the grass and got powdered sugar all over my clothes. This is what happens when I try to abstain. It was a great donut and I’m sure a squirrel ended up enjoying it. So much embarrassment. I’ll never live it down. I sipped on cider and politely lied that I was full anyways.
