    Kombucha
    Rose G.

    This place was just great to visit today! Great and friendly service, yummy tasting kombucha with a variety of flavors, and cute outside seating with a view of the trestle! Amy, the owner, is very sweet and helpfully told us a lot of information about all the kombucha. Note, there is also nitro coffee on tap for coffee lovers and some snacks to grab as well! I really enjoyed pretty much all the kombucha I tried! My fave regular kombucha was the Marin Sage flavor - sooooo good. It was recommended to us by Amy as well! My second fave was the GT's Cannabliss lemon berry kombucha with hemp - it was so yummy - like, so many of those CBD drinks are not great tasting IMHO, but this was absolutely delicious! Would def be worth getting a full glass of that one, which I'll likely do next time I'm in! Just such a nice stop, with yummy booch, and super friendly service! I'll be back soon!

    Great meeting the owner who took us through her business and educating us a bit about Kombucha and it's health benefits. We were really intrigued by the concept of her business - a tap house, for kombucha ... infused with beer. She also offered some coffee on tap and hopes to expand her offerings soon with beer (and appetizers). Located in the downtown area just a block away from the beach.

    Love this place! Amy the owner is so friendly and kind! They now offer food and beer/wine too. Check it out

    This is a fun place to go with friends to try a variety of local kombucha, beer, wine, and coffee. One of my favorites is Living Swell's kombucha Notorious which is a raspberry and lemon flavor that tastes amazing on tap! Amy the owner is very nice and helpful about what to try. She is offering food now too that I look forward to trying asap. Plenty of comfy seating inside and there is an outside bar as well. It's right in the Capitola village and a short walk to the beach so it's location is perfect. This is definitely worth a stop next time you get a chance and it's always awesome to support a local business.

    $7.00 Pellegrino Water. A bit much for water.... Inflation or just aggressive prices? Enough Said

    The owner is the sweetest! I had an amazing time! The card system for payment is really cool. You can taste so many different beers, wines, ciders, and more! Super cute outdoor area and dog friendly

    Staff was so friendly and we had a great time trying the different kinds of kombucha! We wish this was a thing in our town. Absolutely Loved the experience

    This is a newly opened kombucha bar/taproom in downtown Capitola and it's really nicely done! You can try all the kombucha on tap and pay only for what you pour. They also sell bottles that you can fill if you take a liking to one flavour or mix in particular. The automated dispensing system was cool, for a nerd like me :-)

It was calm, colorful, and definitely different from your typical coffee shop or bar. We tried the High Tide, which is straight up kava. It has a very earthy taste, and they give you orange slices to chase it, which definitely helps. It left me feeling pretty relaxed, and the atmosphere made it easy to just hang out for a while. The grapefruit kombucha had just the right amount of tang. If you're into IPAs, I think you'd probably enjoy it. We also ordered the Global Warrior sipping chocolate. It was incredibly rich and definitely made for people who love very dark chocolate. I actually asked for some orange slices to go with it because the citrus balanced it out really well. Overall, it was a fun place to check out and a different experience than I usually go for. I enjoyed trying everything, but nothing really stood out enough to make me feel like I'd be coming back often. Still, I'm glad I stopped in.

This location has food trucks for bite options, outdoor seating if you have pets, and a few seats inside if it's too windy out. The service was impeccable. Bryan had close down the growler station but reopened it because he saw my devastation when the QIPA was not for sale. Can't thank Bryan enough for ensuring I got a chance to take home their best beer on tap. Come for the service, the ambiance, and the best beers.

I am more of a Cider person, and I got to try their Mojito Cider, which I had never heard of before. It was SO good, yummy, and dangerous! haha. They have a good amount of beer and cider to choose from. I believe this location doesn't have food options the way Pacifica does, but the Fish and Chip truck right outside pairs perfectly with their drinks. Service was great. The lady who helped was very chill and nice. I also had a difficult time choosing what drink to pick, so I chickened out and said I didn't want anything. However, she asked me again if I'm sure, so I asked her for recommendations! We love a staff member who takes the time to go through options with customers instead of being annoyed!

The ambiance is very mellow, dim lights, and very cool paintings. If you're feeling adventurous I would definitely put this place on the bucket list! Most of their food is fermented which has a very fresh taste to it. My absolute favorite was the bread along with the spread. I told the workers there that It was my first time there and I didn't know what drink to get. They gave me a list of recommendations and I ended up getting a "sour" which tasted like a cider beer Thank you so much for the cool fun experience.

The county of Santa Clara Department of environmental Health DEH should be notified!! If you eat here you most likely will get food poisoning!! STAY AWAY! And Tell a friend!! Nice try on the Rebuttal! 1st impression! Is the one that is the lasting impression! Fox Tale or should be called Fox take! Is the only Brewery that does not offer a free 1 oz taste! Standard protocol for all other breweries that want to stay in business and be successful is offer a taste. I would offer you good luck, but you would not know what to do with it!! Facebook and Instagram are a great sounding board for your lack of customer service and cheap high and mighty attitude! All I wrote was true! Over 200+ Reviews.. Who is the public going to believe! You just can handle an honest rejection or Bad review! Get over yourself Maybe try a different line of work.....
