Loved it here! I live in the other Portland (Oregon) and this matches my favorite spots out there where kombucha is everywhere. Great flavors - on tap and in cans - my favorites were Ginger, Lavender & Pine and Blueberry. Root Wild’s inside is beautiful and outside has picnic tables and a sweet plant wall.

Completely stumbled upon this place while walking around the area. So glad we discovered it! Staff was kind and helpful and the kombucha was SO good! Highly recommend! They even have kombucha flights which is so so fun.

Stopped in to grab a growler and wish I had more time to spend in the space. It was lively and each one of the samples I tried was delicious. Settled on the ME-grown blueberry kombucha with lemon thyme, and echinacea. So refreshing!

I have never been a fan of Kombucha, but this place deserves credit for allowing me to enjoy Kombucha in a different way. The drinks are all tasty and unique. The atmosphere is very trendy and easygoing. If you are looking for a healthy drink night out, this might be your spot.

While driving in Portland my wife saw this place and added it to the list of things to do the next day, so we came here that Saturday afternoon and man I was very impressed to say that I now can drink kombucha, Root Wild has changed my mind and now I will be giving kombucha a chance when I see it. I got one called purple waves which was great! Staff here are helpful and willing to give you a taste before you buy a cup. Clean restrooms and nice outdoors and indoor seating.

Root Wild Kombucha is filling a hole in our hearts left by Urban Farm. Their kombuchas are light and complex, more refreshing than funky (for the most part). They have both 1% and 4.5% kombuchas, and a few beers on tap. The atmosphere was inviting and friendly, and the staff was knowledgeable and engaging.

Love this spot! The staff is so considerate and welcoming. The environment is always clean and up beat and the drinks are fantastic. This place is my regular spot and for good reason. Huge plus for Portland community!

Chill vibes and gentle kombucha. Great place to hang. Try a flight to taste the many varieties.

I was intrigued by all their flavor options and stopped by for happy hour (half off 12 oz pours from 4-6 pm on weekdays). The strawberry rhubarb was a light and refreshing choice and the purple waves with pine, lavender, lemon and butterfly pea flower had a complex flavor. The cranberry option was very light in flavor and I wish it was a tad tarter. There is plenty of natural light and it's an excellent place to meetup with folks or get some light work done. The staff were really friendly.

I would go here 100x over. I am a kombucha lover and the vibe of this place was also immaculate. They great your with a smile here; the woman at the bar gave me some great suggestions and let me sample some. If you are under 21, know that they card here due to the higher level of alcohol content in their brews. My only critique is to make the kombucha friendly to those who do not drink and those who are under 21z

Nice vibe, ample indoor and outdoor seating. Kombucha was good (not overly vinegary). A variety of alcoholic and 1% flavors.

Fills such a nice niche. Full of flavor, a little earthy and tart to add complexity while still remaining refreshing and just sweet enough and not any sweeter (depending on what you get). A wonderful option amidst all the breweries and distilleries for a chill rejuvenating sit on the sofa by the fireplace while enjoying the lovely atmosphere. Prices are fantastic too and the staff is very helpful. Wish we had something like this in Boston. Of everything we tried (which was almost everything in Mar 2024), we most enjoyed the Pineapple Jalepeno and the Vanilla Roibos kombuchas. Also loved that the sodas weren't very sweet--especially enjoyed the I am Root.

Root Wild is like the bougie counterpart to UFF. It's a beautiful space with outdoor seating and gorgeous warm interior. Flights are affordable and offer a great way to try a lot of flavors. It's a bit of a secret but this is a great alternative to coffee shops during the day if you're looking for a place to do work on a laptop or work on that novel that you've started and stopped every nanowrimo. I pretty much like the kombucha much more than UFF -- it's less vinegary and the flavors are fun. They don't make new flavors often but a couple times a year there's some new faces. Cans and growler refills available too.

Oh, Root Wild. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways! Every weekend like clockwork we head in to Portland to refresh our two growlers...and then find something else to do. Ha! We quite literally plan our weekends around this place! We truly adore sitting outside and watching the neighborhood happen while sipping on a little sumthin'. My favorite is Beach Rose, but they've got a great jalepeno, their blueberry is epic, and there's a butterfly pea number which is an absolute delight. Do yourself a favor and get a growler. They've got a program where you can earn a free one every 10th, and to be honest we get a LOT of free growlers :)

Kombucha isn't for everyone. I enjoy it every once in a (long) while. This stuff is definitely a lot smoother than the Synergy stuff from the supermarket. They have a lot of flavors to choose from on any given day and I imagine it rotates fairly regularly. The inside has some seating, it is in the style of the stripped down brewery with exposed ductwork and industrial fans and concrete floors, etc. Some smaller tables, larger "community" tables, two really sweet couches. There's outdoor seating too which won't last much longer when the weather turns, but they have picnic benches and some seating next to fake fire. They also have beer here, so if you've got someone that's not into hippie shit, they'll at least be half satisfied.

Highly recommend if you are a kombucha drinker or want an alternative drinking option! They have a lovely seating area that is open air during nice weather. They have a large garage door that opens to connect the patio with the seating inside. It was pleasantly decorated and was all around fun to be in their space. The kombucha options were phenomenal! With so many to choose from - they even had a few hard kombuchas. The bartender working the day we stopped in was friendly and helpful. Definitely stop in while you're in the neighborhood!

There is a reason why this place has no bad reviews. They have the best kombucha by far. The atmosphere is also awesome. At Root Wild they alway have incredible seasonal flavors of Kombucha, hard kombucha and so much more to try. I can never decide on one flavor so I get a flight! Even my boyfriend loves it here.

After following this place for a long time and trying a few options from them on tap around Portland I knew we needed to check this place out. I am glad we did and regret not coming sooner. They are producing the best kombucha in the city and in general in my opinion. If you are a fan of kombucha then definitely add this to your bucket list. But if you have never tried kombucha or have but found something wrong with it then still give it a try. I believe this place could change your mind on what kombucha can be. Forget about what grocery store brands you have tried. Also they have a few beers on tap as well so even if you can't do kombucha then try their beer. They have a bar area along with a few couches and some tables as well. With warm weather they have their garage door opened with outdoor seating as well similar to many breweries. Another great spot in Portland worth visiting!

Love, love, LOVE this place. Did I mention how much I love it? I've been on a Kombucha kick this year, so when I found out we had a local Kombucha spot in town, I had to visit it. I definitely wasn't ready for how much I'd love it. First of all -- let's talk about the actual Kombucha. In three words: delicious, daring, crisp. The kombucha at Root Wild is top notch. They have the best combination of flavors - like one of my faves; pineapple + jalapeño - and so many options to choose from. I also love that they have hard kombucha with ABV as high as a beer, and many times even higher! Perfect for those days where I actually want to feel a bit of a buzz. The ambiance of Root Wild is also one of my favorite things about them. They have SO much space. They have outdoor tables, bar seating, couches, and everything else in between. Their place is ideal to meet up with friends, be solo, or even for getting some work done on a laptop, as I've seen many people often do. At last, their growlers to go. Please never get rid of this option! For $3 you can buy a reusable growler that you can refill for $8 for any kombucha flavor. I now find myself at Root Wild pretty much every week. If you like Kombucha - or even if you've never tried it and are somewhat curious - definitely visit this place.

Ordered: Kombucha Flight of 4 (~$12): grapefruit (with mosaic hops & hibiscus), pineapple (with turmeric & jalapeño), blueberry (with lemon & cayenne), and Purple Wave (with pine, lavender, lemon, & butterfly pea flower) Aya's take: Absolutely phenomenal! I never knew this is what I needed in my life. As someone who isn't a big drinker but enjoys the brewery ambiance and a nice, refreshing drink, Root Wild was right up my alley. All 4 kombuchas had vibrant colors, delicious flavors, and super refreshing. And it's a healthy probiotic on top of all that! Excellent spot to hang out, unwind, grab a drink and chill. By far my favorite spot on my Portland, ME trip!

If you've never tried kombucha before... GO HERE. If you don't like kombucha... GO HERE. If you're a home brewer... GO HERE. I think Root Wild is putting out the best kombucha in the city. Whatever you're expecting or used to - maybe that super vinegary, super sour taste - you won't find it here. Instead you'll find really creative flavor combinations - using locally sourced ingredients where and when possible - that are just subtle enough that you want to keep sipping just to get more of it. My favorites include two regulars: spiced apple (with chaga and chai) and blueberry boost (with lemon thyme and echinacea root); and, two of their in-house specials: pineapple/jalapeno and rhubarb/strawberry. My partner - who doesn't like kombucha (supposedly) - loves the Grapefruit Shine (probably because it has such a strong taste of hops)! Take note, IPA lovers. Also, can we just take a moment to admire the aesthetic here? This decor is exactly what I want my future home to look like: woods and plants, white/browns/greens, full of light, and totally comfortable. Whether you're sitting inside on the sofa enjoying a breeze coming through the giant garage door on a warm day or sitting outside by their fire under the strings of Edison light bulbs... this is a special spot.

My girlfriend wanted to try Root Wild, so we came right before heading to the airport on our trip back from Acadia. We parked out on the street a little because the parking is limited. It's a nice street though, we had gone up the way to Oxbow Brewing and the Duckfat Frites Shack a couple days before. We shared a flight of kombucha - blueberry, pine & lavender, grapefruit, and plum & shiso. I like some of the interesting flavors like the hint of lavender or shiso, but it was more subtle than what I expected. Most of them were sweet and not too strong or fizzy. The bar itself is pretty nice with good seating and fun games + a ping pong table. We ended up playing ping pong for a bit until it got a little much to chase the ball when it kept rolling outside almost onto the street. Overall, pretty nice kombucha brewery with indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of creative fun flavors to try.

Absolutely love the kombucha here. Incredibly fresh, the colors are bright and it's just bursting with flavor. We loved the grapefruit with hops and the pomegranate kombucha. The DJ was great, awesome vibes all around.

Beer is the best...okay, maybe that's just my opinion. I know my fiancée would not make the same statement and so it's exciting to realize places like Root Wild Kombucha exist. We visited this brewery doppelgänger back on our summer trip to Portland, Maine and had an amazingly awesome experience. Two notes to the first part of my writing: (1) I say "brewery doppelgänger" because Root Wild could easily be mistaken as an actual beer-making brewery (aesthetics give it that casual feel with rustic/greenery notes and brewing equipment out in the open). (2) It might not make the most sense to compare a kombuchery (fun word) to a brewery as you're going to have to drink quite a lot of kombucha to start feeling any alcoholic side effects. Even so, this is a 21 and older drinking spot and it's plainly stated on the menu. Sorry, kiddies. Speaking of menus and beer and all that jazz, you actually will find a couple of menus at Root Wild. The first menu consists of 8 kombucha selections of varying flavors (fruits, spices, and florals help make up the differences). These are your classic types of kombucha with just a hint of alcohol due to fermentation. The second menu is where you'll actually find a strong connection to the land of alcohol with a few "hard" kombucha options (ABVs boosted up to around 3%-6%) as well as some actual good ol' beer (I guess that "brewery" word does work!). This being our third alcohol-based spot of the day, we decided to stick with the basic-style kombucha. Continuing with my confusing back and forth about brewery feels, Root Wild rocks the brewery idea by offering flights and tasters of their 'buch which makes it a little easier (and cost effective) to sample a bunch of flavors. And let me tell you, you should definitely do this if you can because there are some fantastic tastes to be had here. Root Wild's kombucha isn't vinegary which you'll find with some kombucha and it won't overly tart out your palate. The balance is perfection. Bluberry, Vanilla Rooibos, Grapefruit, and Beach Rose were the four we initially tried in our flight. Each one had their distinct flavors fly through on every sip (and that vanilla one was just intriguingly different). There was some nice complexion found in each kombucha from the added spices and herbs. A specific shoutout has to go to the extra taster I got of their pineapple variety. It was concocted with turmeric, black pepper, and jalapeño which gave it this fruity start with a peppery kick on the finish. Absolutely amazing! I could stop here to warrant my five star review, but I'll throw in a few more positive pieces just in case. The staff member behind the bar was a laid back, but assertively friendly employee who made the experience all the better. So did the decent pricing ($10 for a flight, $3 for a 6oz pour) and the fact that most of Root Wild's kombucha was purchasable in cans. We were able to mix and match so we took home a few cans for later enjoyment including a spiced apple variety that wasn't available on tap at the time. Nice. Overall, Root Wild is a glorious and unique spot. It's got all the aspects of a brewery (including beer!), but the fact that it isn't a brewery makes it stand out from any other alcohol distributing establishment. It breathes life into an industry that can occasionally feel a little monotonous so thanks for being different, Root Wild, and making this beer fan expand his horizons just a little bit more.

I'm not sure if kombuchery's are a new thing but it is a great concept and unsurprising for Maine given how many known regular breweries there are. This brewery is not much different, only it serves up Kombucha. Of all the breweries I've visited they all have a "look" - a fridge for to-go cans, bench and counter seating, merch and music. That's all here at Root Wild oh and they have a Ping ping table. Of course I went with a flight including a lavender and a peach flavor inspired brew but cannot remember the names. Some were hit and miss but the purple haze was easily the best. With a sweet taste to offset the bitterness. The server was very friendly and told me about all the present kombucha on tap along with their brewery-esque names. There is plenty of seating and they're dog friendly which is welcomed. The area is situated in more a neighborhood so it was cool seeing folks just walk up and sit down for a drink. I think the idea is great and hope that Root Wild and other Kombuchery's take off.

Favorite kombucha I've had! They do flights if 4 x 5 oz pours, which are fun to try out all the flavors. Some interesting flavor combinations with spices and local plants but they all worked surprisingly well. Picked up a 4 pack for the road but wish they shipped or sold in Illinois because I'll be daydreaming about this kombucha for a while! We tried these flavors: Ginger- light and refreshing. Solid classic Blueberry- juicy, good Raspberry sumac- made with interesting fluffy plants we saw on the hiking trail. Delicious Pineapple- most adventurous flavor we tried, kick of jalapeño and boost of tumeric = health! Grapefruit- juicy, multidimensional, hoppy but not overpowering Spiced apple- lovely seasonal flavor, complements autumn drives and fall foliage

Recently got a flight featuring a new kombucha, beach rose which was light and refreshing with a notable but not excessive rose flavor. Also got the blueberry, lavender and strawberry rhubarb. Came across their ginger kombucha at a nearby market and eagerly awaited visiting their brewery in person during our short trip to Portland. Rustic/laidback, blended indoor/outdoor space, plants, and mixed crowd, plus some board games and shuffle board to get you in a good mood. Bathroom clean and seems only 1 person working the taps but was very efficient. Great experience.

Root Wild is a fun kombucha bar with abv and no abv options. They have a super cool garage door that opens to an awesome view of Portland from the top of Fox St. They have a small parking lot with 3-4 spaces and outside seating as well. The space is small so hopefully you visit when it's not busy. Luckily, as I said, the garage bay opens and with the outdoor seating, it feels bigger. The kombucha is unique and delicious. I enjoy getting a flight so I can try multiple varieties and find the "oaked" varieties to be very creamy and delicious. You can get a growler to go or take cans home. It's a cool spot to hang out.

Came here on a Saturday in the early afternoon and there was only 2-3 other parties here so we didn't have much trouble getting a seat. The guy working at the front was very friendly and helpful in assisting us with choosing what to get, but there wasn't much of a question: we got the flights in order to try as much as possible. I found the flavor of the kombucha overall a little weak. Store brands probably have a lot of other chemicals and ingredients to make them last longer of course, but the flavor in general was a lot less potent than what I'm used to. Nonetheless, the different types and variety of kombucha was excellent and very well executed in my opinion. I enjoyed the grapefruit, ginger, and strawberry flavors the most - I don't personally enjoy many floral flavors, but I'd honestly recommend you try all of them though to find the ones that best suit your tastes! The breadth of variety was definitely something I enjoyed and I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I was ever in the area!

Came here around 2pm on a Saturday as a group of 6 and it was pretty empty. Later in the afternoon, however, more and more people started showing up. We sat inside to escape the heat, and found that it was a nice place to relax and play games with one of their decks of cards. There are also board games and a ping pong table, which a few of us played for a bit. We ordered two flights to share and the standouts for me were the Peach and Beach Rose flavors. I'm not usually a kombucha person but these were definitely refreshing. We did end up leaving though because there were bees flying around inside and a few of my friends weren't huge fans of bees. Otherwise, I would've stayed longer to enjoy the chill atmosphere.

Love the location and the kombucha! Perched on a hill, root wild has both outdoor and indoor seating including 2 couches surrounded by lots of plants, making you feel relaxed and at ease. My boyfriend and I both got a flight , which mind included peach, plum, ginger and blueberry. They all had distinct flavors that were unique and delicious, with my favorite being the blueberry. My boyfriend got both regular kombucha and hard kombucha which he also enjoyed. My gut already feels happier!

Really fun spot to stop by! I'm a big kombucha fan but had never been to a kombuchary (for those that are unfamiliar with the term, it's essentially the term for a brewery but with kombucha). We were driving around town and happened to see this spot and pullover for a try. The individual running the spot was super friendly and helped us pick a few to try out. We ended up doing two 6oz pours, I tried the blueberry and the peach which were both fantastic! I will say the only downside of this spot is the outdoor seating is a little bit limited. The day we were there was a good amount of wind and it was difficult given the cups were plastic and were light in weight. I get that with COVID, plastic disposable cups are the best option but the wind did knock over our drinks about 2/3 of the way through. If you can bring your own glass to dump the kombucha in or take it to go, I would recommend that. The price here is very reasonable (2 6oz pours for $5) especially for kombucha which usually runs a bit higher. Overall, great kombucha but the seating option (given the wind and COVID) wasn't ideal. Would love to return!

The kombucha was great and the service was exceptional. We went in and purchased to tasting. The flavors were flavor forward and had great aromatic scents. We enjoyed the outdoor seating which made it a very appealing spot for people who are being Covid safe but wanted to experience some fun social activities . My husband was not a big fan of Kombucha but Root Wild has won him over. He can't wait to finish our blueberry craft so we can return to purchase our next selection. We will be repeat customers.

Super cozy & good environment to be in! The place was clean, aesthetically pleasing, good music, and great choices for kombucha! My favorites were the ginger and grapefruit and my partners favorites were the ginger and purple wave (I think it's called but purple something on the harder side)! Our booch bartender was super sweet and laid back and we shared great convos! She was also super informative since it's our first time in Portland and gave us some great recommendations to areas around here :)!! Thank you for being our first place and making it memorable will be back:)!!!

Bring your friends and get over here! There's plenty of tables outside for the sunny days, a ping pong table and a big couch to get cozy inside. I'm not a huge fan of kombucha, but the apple and lavender (there's a few more notes to the flavors that I'm not remembering) were fantastic. There's also a handful of beers with unique flavors. Both the kombucha and beer had subtle fruit tastes, not overly sweet. All of the prices were very reasonable as well, so you might as well try them all.

I love kombucha, especially in a city that is bustling with breweries and cocktail bars. Don't get me wrong, I love me some spirited beverages, but sometimes it's nice to have the option of meeting up with friends over something a little healthier. Root Wild is adding some serious competition to the Portland kombucha scene (which is minuscule), and they are doing it right. I came to Root Wild after hearing about it from a few friends that had checked it out previously. A friend and I decided to check it out one Sunday afternoon. First off, the space is pretty industrial, and it looks like one of the many breweries that Portland has to offer. But it certainly adds to it's laid-back vibe. There are a variety of seating options ranging from high-top tables and seating at the bar. There is also a ping pong table for patrons to utilize as you sip on some beverages. My friend and I ended up sitting at the bar. The bartender happened to be super friendly and was knowledgable about their offerings. Come to find out, the bartender was the owner! They had a variety of kombucha offerings, and I especially liked how their kombucha variations were unique. I decided to get a flight of 5 kombuchas. When you get a flight of kombuchas, you get 4 oz worth of each kombucha, which is something that sets Root Wild apart from it's competitor in the Portland area. And the flight was only $8. My friend and I noticed that Root Wild also had some beer offerings. I ended up getting a flight to try them all out. The beer was decent, with my favorite being a mango sour beer/kombucha hybrid, which was unique and really good. If you choose to take some kombucha home, Root Wild has their kombucha in cans and you can take a four-pack home with you! Overall, I think that Root Wild is doing kombucha right and I will definitely continue coming here to try more of their offerings in the future!

This place had a super cool atmosphere and very reasonably priced booch flights. Our favorite was the grapefruit, followed closely by the lavender pine. Highly recommend checking it out.

A year ago, this place had the best kombucha I'd ever had. Can't say the same this time... The menu, although creative and unique, did not deliver when it came to taste. We opted for two of the flights, covering every flavor. Every single one felt watered down, unlike last year. There was little in the way of differentiation from one glass to the next. Recipe has been changed across the board for sure.

This place is phenomenal. Really reasonable prices, fantastic kombucha, and a fun atmosphere. My boyfriend and I played shuffleboard for about an hour while we tried a flight of different flavors. We even slightly detoured on our drive home from Acadia just to buy two growlers of their delicious "Beach Rose" flavor!

I was not expecting to enjoy kombucha as much as I did, but thanks to the great tasting kombucha here, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. They offer half cups and full cups of kombucha so you get to try a variety of their flavors. I personally loved the grapefruit kombucha. They have a ton of outdoor seating available and serve everything in disposable cups. If you're in Portland, this place is a must!

Cute place to chill and drink kombucha and beer. We only tried the beer. With so many breweries around, we thought it was ok. Would be down to try the kombucha next time though, which makes sense seeing how this is a kombuchery! Ugh regrets!

I visited Root Wild late in the summer and was able to fully enjoy sitting outdoors with the sun shining on me. I've got into kombucha recently and the spiked version definitely brought it to another level. I loved how's there's so many flavors to choose from. The bartender was friendly. Interior space while not so big but it was cozy and warm :). The must try is the Ginger kombucha for me!

This place was so much fun!!! I been cutting back on my beers due to Digestive issues so this kombucha brewery was exactly what I needed. These are not as strong/ acidic as the ones you find in grocery stores. Which may be how they should all be. I really enjoyed them and the atmosphere!

We had their pine and lavender booch at Duck Fat so wanted to go to the source and pair with Ramen from Ishi Ishi which is a stone's throw from there and co-owned by a waiter at Duck Fat. We went on a Wendesday afternoon so it was slow but good for us as we could ask questions, sample a couple flights, and really get to know which we liked more than others. I also could spend quality time with my son playing ping pong while sipping booch which was nice. Pong table is rough so it's best not used for serious play. There's a sofa pairing and a few other interior seats and some more outside, but the day was high 80s so opted to stay in. We ran out of time so came back 2 days later and they remembered us, so had 2 more flights, and then grabbed a bunch of 4 packs of pine and lavender, grapefruit, and rose'. They currently do not ship to NY or NJ so we gave them our email and they'll let us know when they do so we can grab locally. Really friendly place too!

Years ago, we met Reid when he was working at UUF and talked with him about his passion for fermenting. When he opened Root Wild, we were so excited and visited immediately. Since then, we haven't been able to go back until recently. We were just as blown away as the first time we had his brews! Take our money Root Wild! He really is the 'brooch master. The flavors of the kombucha and hard kombucha are so balanced, creative, and a complete pleasure to drink. The atmosphere has shifted since the first time we visited and it feels even better than before! Every time we pass through Portland, Root Wild is on our must-do list.

Delicious kombuchas made in-house. The flights are only $10 which is such a steal for four 4oz glasses of kombucha. So many great flavors as well. There are games and a ping pong table for people.

So there I was, browsing Yelp in a city I've never been toD my friend wanted to go to another kombucha place down the road which we did venture off to, but then i found Root Wild and it sounded really good! I'm really glad we decided to stop in! It's really light and airy in here, it's a hidden gem! Decided to do a sampler and went with - grapefruit, blueberry, beach rose and rhubarb. My absolute favorite was beach rose. It was so delicious! This is a really cool place, I'd never heard of a kombuchery so it was a fun experience! If you're in the area check out this hidden gem!

Found this place while walking around and decided to stop in having been to similar places already while in Portland. Loved the options they had and tasted four of them, the only downside to this place was their options were limited when compared to other similar places.

Root Wild is the latest addition to the expanding selection of food & beverage businesses on Washington Ave. It is a kombucha and beer brewery/taproom (though the beer is currently brewed at nearby Lone Pine). The design is similar to other modern taprooms around the country in that it is industrial but still warm and welcoming. I really love the concept of Root Wild. Sometimes I am with people who want to go out for a beer, and I just don't feel like drinking. At Root Wild my friends can get beer and I can get kombucha, win-win. The ambiance is great for hanging out, as they have a variety of seating options and board games to keep you entertained. Knowing that the beer here is brewed at Lone Pine, it shouldn't come as a surprise that it is fantastic. I actually like the beer here better than the kombucha. To me, the kombucha is on the sweet side and the flavors are not as pronounced as I'd like. I had a flight recently and some of the flavors tasted pretty similar. The beer is really in your face flavorful, the kombucha is pretty subtle. All in all, another great addition to the neighborhood.

This adorable place has super refreshing kombucha! I got the grapefruit and it was perfectly crisp but not overly tart. They have a ping pong table for entertainment and the entire place has a chill vibe. Great place to stop and refresh yourself!
