A cidery with a lot of excellent options, a great happy hour menu (from 3-5pm), a good food selection, and a nice atmosphere. I’m typically more of a beer guy, but I really enjoyed the cider I had here. It was fresh, crisp, cold, and it was cheap because I ordered it during happy hour. We also got some chips and dip, again on a happy hour discount, and the chips were good but the dip was fantastic. The building itself is on the smaller side but comfortable with a lot of plants, and there is an outdoor seating area as well. We got this recommendation from a passenger on the flight to Portland, and are very happy we were able to check it out!
Baumans restaurant on Oak is clean and comfortable. It has an outside eating area too. It's a great opportunity to taste their ciders, even some hard-to-find ones. They had just three beers on the menu though, so if you bring beer drinkers, they need to be OK with a small selection. Healthy menu. I had heard that the pizza is great, and that was true. Everyone was very friendly, it had a neighborhood eatery vibe. Good prices too!

We went to the Bauman’s fall cider fest in October and knew we wanted to try more of their ciders. We came on a pretty busy Saturday night, but even when the indoor seating filled up, there was a lot of open seating outside. The outdoor seating had warmers, so even in November, I wasn’t cold without a jacket. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by the bartender who informed us of a private event happening so it would be walk up service only, which was nice because a lot of walk up bar service places seem to assume all the guests know that as soon as they arrive. We got the All the Berries, Raspberry Peach, and Strawberry ciders. They were all good, but the All the Berries was definitely my favorite. We didn’t get any food, but the pizza we saw did look really good. It was a fun, casual vibe and I would definitely recommend stopping in for some ciders!
this place was incredible, very friendly service, AMAZING pizza. i am traveling and cant store leftovers and i was so sad i couldnt finish it or bring the rest with me.
the berry flight was delicious, not too sweet, and so easy the pom bourbon. highly recommend.
We had such a wonderful time here, and we can't wait to return!
Drinks: We started with a flight of fruity ciders, and they were fantastic. The peach cider was smooth and refreshing. The loganberry drink was fruity and flavorful, and it was not too sweet. We also tried the mixed berry drink, and it kind of tasted like cherries; the flavor shone through.
Starters: We loved the bread and butter. The bread was crispy. The butter was rich and sharp, with a flavor that lingered in the best way. The plum butter offered a deep, caramelized note. The richness of the butter tamed the sesame’s nuttiness (the sesame was on the bread).
Salad: The chicory salad was a delightful surprise. I normally avoid chicory due to its bitterness, but this preparation was anything but bitter. The squash was tender and flavorful, and the crispy bits added the perfect contrast in texture. It was balanced, fresh, and satisfying.
Small Plates: The salmon roll was nice and crispy, but we felt like it could have used a pop of something. Some capers would have helped! I still enjoyed it, and it is excellent if you like milder flavors.
We also had a mellow meatball soup dish. The flavors were a little too mild.
Final Thoughts: Overall, we appreciated the thoughtful curation of flavors—nothing felt out of place, and the milder dishes had their own place.
We can't wait to return and explore more of the menu!
