This place makes me so happy. I've known about the brand from their kombucha and "kimchi" products at grocery stores. This bar, slash restaurant slash grocery storefront is a dream. The owners Meaghan and Shane opened this in 2022 on York road and it's just a delightful experience. I don't make it out here very often but it's a great place to eat food they feels good and to support a local business. The prices aren't cheap but it's worth it for the quality. My favorite is the super chicken (I always order this) and for a drink the house paw paw soda it's made with the native fruit paw paw (do research on this it's amazing) that they make into a vinegary shrub with soda water. It's so yummy. The quality shines here as well as the light airy high ceiling interior and the plants. This is a must visit and honestly a little slept on. Lisa was my server on my most recent visit and she was so sweet. She told me her wife works here and she was filling in as a neighbor and a patron! We love that. read more

Hex Ferments makes incredible kombucha and serves equally delicious healthy fresh food in their restaurant. We discovered their kombucha at a farmers market in Washington, DC and liked it enough to make another trip from NYC to Baltimore, so we could try all the flavors. They are serving "real" kombucha - complete with all-natural effervescence - and every flavor truly impressed us. They range from superfood-forward classics like ginger and turmeric to fun seasonals like smoked pineapple to mind-blowing botanical mashups like hibiscus/mint/linden flower. They described them as "guzzleable," and let's just say we guzzled! They have an equally impressive lineup of house fermented veggies that are all unique. We loved the extra spicy kimchi and the green tomato ferment. Their food menu is a colorful and creative celebration of all their homemade and locally sourced fermented and other food items. There were plenty of vegan options. We loved the Hex Powerhouse sandwich (packed with veggies!!) and the mushroom kimchi sandwich, both served on their homemade focaccia. We really loved the food and drinks and the great service from Hunter who walked us through the menu, kept our glasses full, and even let us try some off-menu ferments. We can't wait to come back! read more

WOW! This did not disappoint. Wonderful fermented foods and a varitey of flavors. Lovley atmosphere and great staff. What an amazing spot! Must try and make sure to check out their snack isle! read more

I've recently become such a fan of Hex that I've started bringing my friends so they can see all they have to offer. First of all, being a plant mom myself, I absolutely love how they decorated the store with an array of plants. And they are all so pretty. A modern approach to the decor with plenty of plants makes for such an inviting space. You can pop a squat at the bar for a snack or meal, have a glass of natural wine and beer, or sample some of their kombuchas with a flight. They even offer brine shots. Which is exactly what it's called. The brine from their fermented products. I tried their food for the first time, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Hex's menu has a clean and healthy vibe with a twist on the dishes that are flavorful. I got the bratwurst special, and I must say I was shocked how much I enjoyed the bratwurst since I don't typically care for them. The brand of sausage they use is definitely good quality. And I can't forget to mention how much I love their kombuchas. After you've had some gut healthy food and beverages you can stroll over and take a gander at all the local products they offer. From their own fermented products to meats, veggies, sauces, spices, pet friendly items, and much more. With so many items to choose from, you'll definitely have to make another trip. read more

HEX Superette - Kombucha Flight - Kombucha Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I've been a big fan of HEX for a while now, ever since I tried their kombucha at a Ceremony Coffee Roasters location ages ago. Since then, I've become slightly addicted to HEX's miso kimchi. I know it's not a typical Korean-style kimchi but it has become one of my favorite staple fridge items thanks to it's spicy, funky flavor. For anyone who has food allergies or sensitivities, rest assured that the miso kimchi is both soy free and gluten free. That's because the miso is chickpea based. I'm not sure how they do it but damn, is it good. The store itself is super cute with a full bar and a covered back patio. They have a food menu so you can grab a bite to eat or even sip on a cocktail. The rest of the store has large fridges and shelves stocked full of not just HEX goodies, but also plenty of other locally sourced items. There's beer, wine, produce, meat, snacks, bath items - you name it. This is such a good spot to go if you're looking for a gift, or trying to bring something to a housewarming party, or just want to peruse for a little while. My mom and I stopped by recently and ended up grabbing quite a few things from the store. We were even allowed to taste a few samples of the HEX products like the pickled beets and the tumeric kimchi. They provide free samples of any HEX stuff you want to try in the tasting room. I have to say, the miso kimchi continues to be my favorite. I definitely want to come back for lunch and sit on their back patio on a nice day. They also have a small but free parking lot in the back! read more

You've seen Hex products around town, at farmers markets and supermarkets - they make all things fermented, kombucha, kimchi, pickles, etc. But did you know they are a local Baltimore company with headquarters in the city and are run by people who need out on food? The Hex Superette has a little bit of everything you want. It's has a bar with inventive cocktails and a food menu featuring creative ways to use their ingredients, but they also have a community space for classes, a carefully curated supermarket, and a production facility. The products in the market are super fresh and the producers are personally known by the owners. The egg guy came buy the day we were there and apologized that his hens hadn't laid as many eggs that week because of the weather. Super fresh. I left with pistachio milk, brown and blue eggs, and a bag of frozen scallops. I'm putting this market in my monthly rotation for specialty items, kombucha, and local protein. You've got to visit this place. Seriously. read more

I have been to the "Tasting Room" multiple times, usually coming on a Saturday early afternoon. They have a number of seats in the bar area plus a few tables in the "Superette" area. The food is fantastic and I never get tired of it. From entrees like enchiladas & bowls, to salads and grazing boards... it is really more than you are expecting. They also have drinks both hard (really nice cocktails plus beer & whatever) plus kombucha (duh) and other bevs. I really love having this place nearby. They also have "takeovers" sometimes with local restaurants or purveyors (like Clavel or TomCat kitchen) and classes too. Anywho... just come by and give them a try. I certainly have and would love for them to stick around a while! :) read more

This place was so cool. First, there's the Hex Ferments portion of things. They have a bar/tasting room, with various drinks on tap and available to be served as well as some small bites. I was hoping for all kombucha (that's my jam) but they have a lot of variety of items (only one or two kombuchas available on tap). I had my kids along and there was a bit of a crowd so I didn't spend much time on the tasting room side of things. The second portion of Hex Superette is the "grocer" side. Here you can purchase Hex Ferments products like giant bottles of kombucha, containers of kimchi, fermented sauces and even scobys for the home brewer. The Superette also features vegetables and cold items from local farms and vendors. I noticed canned Thread Roasters Coffee amongst the items for sale. The third, and final, portion of the Superette is the "pop up" portion. I'm under the impression that this part of the shop will rotate. Thru the holidays they are featuring Made in Baltimore. This means there are items on sale from over 50 local vendors. I noticed bags of coffee from local roasters, vegan chocolate, soaps, hand crafted items and paper goods amongst the Made in Baltimore portion. We walked out of Hex Superette with one of their kombuchas, two apples and vegan chocolate covered espresso beans. The price was not cheap but, to keep things local and fresh, sometimes you have to pay a bit more. If you are into buying local, fermented foods and a cool vibe, might I suggest checking out Hex Superette. read more

I know you're wondering - what the hell is HEX Superette? Is it a store? A bar? A restaurant? It's all three! Let's start with the shop: you can get local gifts, clothes, and food at the retail portion of the building. They're primarily filled up with local brands like Liberty Farms and B'More pasta. Lots of tinned fish, wine, and fancy cheeses. They also sell all of their HEX fermented items. Next up is the restaurant offerings: they have light snacks and some heavier options. I got the vegan cheese board (insane), a kimchi flight, and the deviled eggs. They also have items like sausages, burgers, a carnivore cheese board, and grilled cheese. Everything was delicious with layers of flavors. The bread was also made in house! I'm not a big drinker, but the drinks were delicious from what I sipped off from my friends. The staff here were SUPER friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. They will answer every and any question you have and definitely cultivate a cute experience. You can have a "tasting" of any of their fermented items before you buy them. They also have cute outdoor seating. This is a great spot to catch up with an old friend over a drink, a good spot for a third or fourth date, or maybe even a quiet spot to get some work done! read more

This local food market, gathering place, and tasting room/bar-restaurant is my favorite place to visit. Here you can enjoy delicious and healthy food, great people and the drinks are delicious and use their kombucha and other fermented beverages- no guilt!

Cool decor inside, can't say enough about HEX- highly recommended!!' read more

WOW!! First time at HEX and I am truly blown away.. the food, vibes, and service were 100/10!! The kimcheese was easily the best grilled cheese I've ever had, the kimchi pairs perfectly and the flavor is OUTSTANDING. And don't get me started on the house made focaccia with its billowy soft inside and panini pressed crusty goodness on the outside--drooling as I type. I also had the pb&j miso cookie, sooo good!! Again, it was easily the best cookie I've ever had. The miso offered a subtle, savory almost toffee like flavor when combined with the pb&j. I am officially obsessed with HEX Superette and cannot wait to be back to try all the other delectable items!!! Thank you all for the quality food and service!! read more

It's great to find an establishment that sell local juice, beer, wine, local produce, as well as local artist/entrepreneurs. I had a tasting of Butterfly Lime and honey juice and beet pickles and purchased them both. The prices are reasonable. You can have cocktails, wines, beer at the bar along with a bite to eat from the kitchen. There are vegan and gluten free entrées. This was my first time visiting but this is on my weekly list for my juice and beet pickles and more. . Shane is awesome ! read more

My now-husband and I have enjoyed HEX products for many years, and when we visited the Superette, we were thrilled by the creative, exciting, and high-quality foods the business showcases. We knew we wanted HEX to be part of our wedding day! We reached out to have them cater beverages and snacks that we enjoyed with our family after a courthouse ceremony. Martha worked with us to build a menu that met all our various dietary constraints and was absolutely delicious! Our families LOVED having kombucha to sample and the nibbles were just what we needed to keep us full and happy until cocktail hour. :) Thank you HEX for helping set the tone for a beautiful day! I recommend HEX Superette for the highest quality catering and fabulous customer service. read more

What a lovely treat! Have always enjoyed their pickle veggies and was so excited to see the have a brick and mortar to showcase their pickled yummies. Stopped in with friends for an early lunch on saturday. The place was relatively quiet one guy working at a long table in the dining space and two people at the bar area. The staff are truly friendly and personable, helpful without being overbearing. It was nice to be able to try samples of fermented veggies before I purchased. We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the table closest to the window. The space is very calming and green. There are so many fun kitchen items to explore while you're waiting to be served. A friend got a non alcoholic cocktail and very much enjoyed it, myself and another dining guest enjoyed a nice cup of coffee. We were sad deviled eggs were out so I'll have to come back. We shared the cashew dip with veggies and a few sandwiches. Everything is perfectly presented, fresh and well complemented flavors. Any of the sandwiches made with focaccia are your best choice. I wasn't totally wild about the tempeh sandwich, I didn't know that the burger would be made with black beans as well. Would highly recommend roasted mushroom sandwich or the grilled cheese with kimchi. We left with a few jars of treats to take home, definitely coming back next time we're in the area. read more

This place is beautiful and has a lovely selection of yummy treats. Their kimchi grilled cheese is super delish and I love getting that for takeout instead of other drive through options. I'm a huge fan of their curated natural wine selection too. Staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and joyful. read more

Everyone was very nice, the store was clean and beautiful and the are seemed safe and welcoming. You definitely need to park in the back and when you do you will surely find plenty of parking and an attractive sitting area. Surprisingly, the inside has a sitting area that is very nice and the overall environment is great. The store has a good variety of local foods and drink including wine. Support a Baltimore-made products company and give the a visit. Just south of Northern Parkway a few doors down from the church. read more

Loved meeting them at the Dupont Circle farmer's market! They have a variety of other options including beets, juniper sauerkraut, etc. but the traditional sauerkraut and miso kimchi were my favorites. $8-10 per jar of pickled vegetables is not the most sustainable option for my food budget but I think I'll splurge occasionally for how good these are. Less salty than grocery store options, super flavorful, and a little goes a long way whether you add it to a meal or have some on its own. read more

I discovered Hex in a bottle shop in downtown Baltimore and went to this location to taste more flavors and also some of their fermented veggies. At first, we had a hard time finding the booth- it's at the back of the market between the smoked place and the chocolate shop. Once we found it, though, we were glad we stopped for a visit! You can sample all flavors of kombucha and also all of the veggies. We ended up taking home several bottles of butterfly lime kombucha (still my favorite) and a jar of orchard relish. The prices here are higher than you will pay at Whole Foods for compatible national brand products, but the quality reflects artisanal, small production quality and are suitable for a more adventurous palate. We will return! read more

My husband and I needed a place to check work email for about an hour and a half and the Belvedere Market was perfect! After sitting at a table, Hex's wares caught my eye with their array of colors and funky packaging. I strolled over and asked a couple questions about their 'buch and the person working was so helpful and kind. He offered me samples and who was I to say no? I tried the ginger (classic) and the smoky pineapple. I wanted to try them all, but I restrained myself. Both were FAB. The ginger had a nice clear, bright taste that would be excellent in cocktails. I wound up buying a bottle of the smoky pineapple though because it was a flavor totally unlike those available from commercial brands. It had notes of clove and honestly feels like a great. I can't wait to seek them out in the DC metro area to sample more varieties! read more

HEX Superette - Kombucha Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Delicious!!! Met them at the foggy bottom farmers market and it was great to hear how well they understand their local sourcing (as in more than "organic" - actually able to discuss the ecologically sustainable and caring agricultural practices of their farmers and actually directly supporting and working with their farmers to grow their economy) and fermenting processes. That kind of care is 1000-percent worth the cost. Also it's not costlier than buying/growing your own produce to know its origins and then taking the time and labor to ferment it yourself. Also they have kombucha! But the sample was teeeeeeny. So not enough of a confirmation of the kombukick read more

Their kombucha has to be some of my favorite that Ive ever bought. I buy bottles from the grocery store and have tried every brand but this one takes the cake. Their enchanted is SO good. I also like their kimchi. What's great also is their ingredients. Not only do they try and use good ingredients but everything they make is great for your health. Not only do I buy from them at Belvedere but I go to farmers markets as well. I love to support local especially with a great product like this. read more

The dudes at Hex are so friendly! I'm glad I found them at the Bethesda CFM to tide me over until Craft Kombucha's stands reopen. The hibiscus is probably our least favorite kombucha flavor, but the butterfly lime is alright. I love the carrot juniper and the boo goes through a bottle of ginger every week. The bulk discounts and bottle deposits keep the worst of the costs down. I've been putting their glow kraut in all my sandwiches, and snacking regularly on their miso kimchi. I'd buy their beet pickles if I had room left in my fridge! I'll have to sample the sea kraut when I see it at thet stand. On the administrative side, I do wish they used their newsletter and/or social media tools more to clarify what flavors will be available at which markets; their website definitely doesn't reflect what market roulette will yield. read more

There have been quite a number of things that have jumped magically off the shelf and into my hands for no conscious reason over my life; books, gadgets, whatever.

One more reason to love Baltimore. read more

Crazy expensive for what it is; got the small jar of basic miso kimchi ($12). Way too gingery and sharp; it's not a traditional kimchi (especially with the ginger), but you might like that).

I love Hex! Their products were amazing and their staff were knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating! I liked the fact they sanitized, washed and reused the bottles instead of recycling them and getting more. I bought their kombucha, pickles and sauerkraut. All of these products were tasty and healthy! My favorite product was the kombucha and I often get different flavors depending on what they were making. I was not disappointed! I did notice the kombucha helped me digestively and with my immune system. The staff explained the benefits of their fermented foods and how it benefits the body. I believe it.

I thought that I did not like kombucha after trying a couple of brands in the past -- both were vinegary and really not that great. But when I tried the Butterfly Lime Hex kombucha, I couldn't believe I was tasting kombucha -- no slight aftertaste of vinegar, and it was incredibly satisfying. I have Korean friends that used to drive to Baltimore from Northern Virginia and DC to get Hex's Miso Kimchi. They don't have to anymore, as they are in most Whole Foods now. The ingredients are top-notch, the employees are knowledgeable and friendly, and you won't be sorry if you stop in to check out the goods. read more

Purchased Juniper Caraway Kraut. 15 oz. 2015; Wow. Would definetly buy again cause it is SO GOOD. Extraordinarily tasty but not overpowering. Opened it a month after purchase and it tasted as fresh and crisp as the sample I had at their store. Crisp, refreshing, and unique mild flavors. A tier above any any others. I think it was reasonably priced. The flavor is so home-made-authentic and subtle it deserves to be served at the best restaurants; or at my home with friends. I have no affiliation with these folk. From Calif '48 read more

I don't usually yelp but hex is so freakin good. And they have outposts at my fave farmers markets and a lot of the best food stores around baltimore so it's not too hard to get your hands on their stuff. I almost hesitate to keep their miso kimchi around because when I have it I mainline it. I'm eating it with every single meal right now. Worried I might overdose on probiotics or something. And most of their pickles/krauts/kimchis are just as insanely good, if you like the taste of fermentation. Can't really speak to the kombucha but I have a lot of friends who love it. read more
