The Honest Abe Cider House & Meadery - Gardena, California

Melissa Toy Kulluk

It was so great the first time, we couldn’t wait to go back! They offer an huge selection of house made cider and mead in addition to other beverages, with some bar style food options. There’s indoor seating, but the outdoor patio is awesome for a flight tasting or a pint with friends. Flavors change based on the season, but they offer something for everyone, no matter your taste. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

I haven't been to Honest Abe's for a couple of years, not that I didn't enjoy them the last time but being in and around LA there's a lot of ground to cover!! WoW!! Amazing selection of Ciders and Meads!! Oh and Brandys...AND FOOD!!! Really good food!! I had the Poke bowl which was excellent but I've got my eye on the burger!!! They have expanded and moved just a door down from where they used to be, maps still thinks there in their old digs!! New address is 17812 South Main, Carson, CA. Stop in and check them out, you won't be disappointed!!! Cheers!!...🍻🍻🍻

For the past few years I have been enamored with the taste of ciders and meads. Out and about running errands, decided to stop by and check out the place and see what their drinks are all about. I ended up getting a Mead flight and I enjoyed every single one of them. Blueberry and Harvest Maple were my favorites. Rich in flavor and smooth to drink. The owners were friendly and welcoming. Definitely will come back again soon.

Can I say Wow. If you like Cider, and you haven't been here, what are you doing with your life. Hands down some of the best Cider I've ever had. I've had Cider all over the nation, the peach Cider is my favorite here. No one makes a peach Cider, this one tastes like biting into a peach. Although that strawberry chocolate mead, that was fantastic. Lots of seating, upstairs area, clean, and great customer service. I'll be back forsure!!!

First time here aaaaaannnd it will definitely won't be the last! Huge fan of ciders so came with expectation, I'm just left in awe of the flavors and the complexity of the each drink. Tried 3 of their flights each one amazing in their own way!

We came back again; a year after our last visit.
The bartender was very nice. She gave us a tasting of 3 different ciders. We settled on the Wipeout; the high and dry apple champagne. It was the one out of the four tasting ciders that did not taste perfumery and did not leave to much of a chemical aftertaste.
The upstairs, seating is very enjoyable. It even features a foosball table.

Good place for buying and enjoying a glass of cider; in a somewhat industrial setting.

Outdoor seating os available ; as of March 2022.

We keep coming back for drinks but not so much for the grilled food:
Pork sliders and coleslaw were nicely presented. However, the taste was reminiscent of home grilling in a not so good way; bad fumes seemed to have soaked into the meat. The coleslaw was bland and dry.

Maybe, I will try the Poke next time? Other customers have raved about it.

COVID-19 precautions seem to be fairly relaxed for now; more so than in other places we visited (as of March 2022).
