A variety of apple products such as apple pie, apple butter ,apple cider, caramel coated apple, honey from apple blossoms and …
Nice to visit when you’re on route.
The building itself was closed during winter.

Great spot to stop on a roadie. The treat shoppe within is an excellent stop for some gummies and they have halal ones there as well. There also a store with lots of pies and tarts and other delicious items. There is also windows to peek through to see the magic. There is also a restaurant with some food items and a petting zoo for the children. All in all a good spot.
I’ve passed by here many times and finally stopped for a short visit in September. It didn’t disappoint! There are so many apple products, including things that I would never have imagined. I got a good old apple pie, and I quite enjoyed it. The big apple face is cute. A nice place to stop by during your drive!
A fantastic stop along the 401 highway! The shop offers freshly baked apple pie and a delightful array of pastries and other delicious treats. A must-visit for a quick and tasty break during your journey.
It's a great stopover during our winter road trip. The Big Apple appears to be open all-around season where in wintertime there is a lot of Christmas decor out plus a Christmas market. I enjoyed my time browsing through the country grocery store, where they sold more than just apple produce. There's fresh honeycombs, baked goods, toffee and other farm produce sold fresh here. At that time we also got a free box of honey candies with our purchase during a winter sale. The raw honeycomb tasted awesome!
Prices vary depending on what you're buying. There are restrooms available, and a factory section where you can watch bakers create the apple baked goods like pie from scratch. I definitely want to visit this place again, during the summer and recommend this place to anyone on the highway passing. The Big Apple is an open and welcoming place to customers of all ages and very family friendly too!

A nice stop along the way heading between Ottawa and Toronto. Nice clean washrooms are always a good find on a road trip. 👌 Apple pie can be hit and miss, I guess. The first time I came here, I had the best Apple pie from here, and it's never been as good as that since. It's still pretty good, though, so I keep coming back. Apple bread 🍞 for the win here. Always consistently good. As of writing this review, the sign says they have sold over 2 million loaves. They must be doing something right to sell that many. Had the traditional poutine. It was acceptable.
Worth a visit and a great pitsstop on the 401 East. Ample parking space. Lots of activities to do for kids. Good Food options inside and also in the food trucks that were present outside. They have so many varieties of desserts and bakery items. Very hard to resist. Priced nominally. There is a mini golf course which even adults can play, some rides for the kids and a petting zoo as well. A great spot for a summer weekend.
