great menu selection with options for vegan and gluten free. the menu is thought out, flavorful, and overall makes you feel good. great selection of beers and non-alcoholic mocktails and drinks as well. staff is friendly and helpful for finding the right thing for you. some of the drinks are an “acquired taste” as they taste “hoppy” but everything is local and well crafted. photos: funky nachos, nacho burger, farfetched ferment half plate

Wow. This place is a hidden gem. Small hole in the wall restaurant. The vibes, food, and beverages are amazing. Sometimes they have a DJ. I brought my bf who is a meat eater, and he was very impressed with the vegan eats. We got a few mock-tails that were absolutely fantastic. I Love LOVE this place. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Loved all the food we had here - We had the bean burger, funk bowl, the spread platter and chips with cashew cheese. All of these were unique and tasty. Tasted the kombucha as well. The ambience is pretty hippy.

Try out their incredible spreads and you'll realize that you need more fermentation in your life. It's not weird, it's creative and balanced, surprising and familiar, delicious and honest. Real whole ingredients (their wild mushrooms are spectacular), house made fermented foods, crafted teas and beers, all vegan, all made with passion, all good for your body and soul. Tiny place so expect waiting. Staff is super nice.

Ordered funky bowl and potato soup Both were excellent and soup was mind blowingly good. We also got this drink “accidental hipster” it was also very good. It was a special drink made for recent concert. Wishing them to keep that drink on the menu. Highly recommend.

Cozy spot for inventive fermented drinks and eats. Some products are available for purchase like their fermented hot sauce. Kombucha on tap was lovely (Fever Dream) and the Loose Leaf craft beer was both delightfully floral. Try the tapenade. Highly recommend! Happy hour from 4 to 6pm Wed to Fri. Don't miss this place if you like fermented things.
