Dan and I enjoyed two unique drinks and Dans gingerbread latte had fresh ginger in it. We were offered a few kombucha samples as well before we made the flight decision. The flight of four kombuchas were refreshing and all unique. You could taste the quality in the lattes and kombucha! We left with a 32 ounce growler to go (mixed two kombucha flavors). Happy Gut Sanctuary also has Asian inspired dishes and breakfast sandwiches. We also treated ourselves to a pandan coconut rice crispy treat to share (another local company makes it) and it was delicious. We met the owners and had to purchase a t- shirt on the way out with their cool logo of a red panda on it. Visit Happy Gut Sanctuary in the High Falls district in Rochester for a relaxing yet fun kombucha and/ or latte experience that will make you wanting to stop back for more!

We were able to try this business's kombucha at the Brighton Farmer's market this weekend and…read moreabsolutely loved it. Would love to go to their brick and mortar next time we're in Rochester, NY. Their Marigold flavor was perfectly effervescent with just a hint of fruitiness and so refreshing. Such an enjoyable drink and that it is healthy just makes it that much better!

A first of its time in Rochester right now, but not for long. If you asked someone in Rochester…read morewhat Kombucha was two years ago no one would know what you were talking about. Ask someone today and you'll still get about half who do and half who don't. This shop is trendy and cute, situated in clover plaza conveniently next to Lulu Lemon for those health nuts that also like yoga. The staff is VERY friendly and knowledgeable, so any questions you have with Kombucha being so new, I'm sure they'll have the answer for ya. So for those of you of don't know what kombucha is - don't fear you're not alone. What Kombucha is, is a fermented (sometimes slightly alcoholic) fermented tea. It is typically crafted with billions of live probiotics, organic acids and many other fine ingredients. It is drank commonly intended as a functional beverage for its supposed health benefits. It comes in a variety of flavors and a variety of types of health benefits. House of Kombucha's brew, KogaBucha is brewed so there is no alcohol in it. What I like about their KogaBucha is that it has a stronger fermented taste but also more bold in flavor than your typical grocery store bottled Kombucha. They also offer a lot of CBD products from your typical oils, honey sticks and gummies to water soluble oils (something I have never heard of before). Definitely a cool place to check out because I see a lot more of these types of places popping up in the near future. Last but certainly not least, make sure to buy a bottle of their hot sauce that is made with Kombucha as well - It's the bomb.

After hearing a rousing rendition of "If I had a Million Dollars" by BNL, my 2 year old granddaughter decided to entertain everyone by singing the "ABCs". I wasn't prepared for her public debut, but did get the last quarter which was outstanding! Regarding the brews, we have some really good ones, and some that were not.

But that's changed (or maybe I just misunderstood!), and now anyone can shop here. Prices are a bit higher about $2-$5 more than other grocery stores depending on what you're getting, also know you're supporting a community focused, local business. It's not a huge place, but they've got a solid selection of essentials, and some nice specialty items too. There's even an outdoor area if you want to relax with a snack or a drink. Staff is pleasant, friendly and helpful. They have private parking lot! I'll definitely be back.

It's a bit of a drive for me, but worth it. The staff were so pleasant, kind, and patient. I have a disability, and Richard took his time to explain everything to me. You can just go in and shop, or you can join the co-op. I joined, there are a lot of benefits, including discounts, events, they want to hear from you, and suggestions. It's in the South Wedge. A great neighborhood, and it's decorated outside and has some amazing murals so you can't miss it. I wish I had thought to take pictures. Will do it next time. Bring your own bags. Parking was easy. The aisles are nice and wide. They have small baskets that roll, making it really easy for someone with disabilities to shop. Their meat section is all frozen, which is fine. I bought frozen wild salmon. They have a big sausage section, with some delicious sounding ingredients. I will have to get some next time.

All the choices makes it hard. You can still get fat eating here with the carbohydrates and portions. Best thing about it was we could get whatever and there was no need to ask about ingredients. It's got no kinds of animal products. The bad thing is they have limited hours especially on weekends. Cramped inside. It's like going into a basement and there's only a few tables. A few more are on the sidewalk. We chose to eat up on there. It's about $5 for a fresh juice. The Green Juice is made with apples, celery, cucumbers, kale, and lemon. Had a sweet tanginess to it. It's about $15 for their version of the Garbage Plate called the Compost Plate. This is what they're best known for so we each got it and tried it a couple ways. It comes with balsamic field greens, a focaccia slice, macaroni salad, a spicy pretend meat sauce, and the sweet potato salad. Then you have a choice of a protein, and I got it with seitan steak. This is basically meant to be all eaten together. A big mess but it was good. The rest of the menu has things like burgers and sandwiches. Got only a few things here but it was a lot. It's closed Sundays and Mondays. The whole menu is okay for vegans.

We all found something to love here. We started with the pickled things, served in the cutest mismatched china. Everything was delicious, but the carrots were the standout -- so good we joked about drinking the pickling liquid. We also tried the Pink Lemonade and the Strawberry Alarm Clock juices, both incredibly fresh and vibrant. You could taste every ingredient. Since we couldn't decide on just one entrée, we split the Thai Kale Salad and the Buddha Bowl (with added mushrooms and avocado). The Thai Kale Salad was everything you want it to be -- bright, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. We were sure it would be the star of the meal. Then the Buddha Bowl arrived. The smoky tofu, creamy coconut rice, perfectly dressed kale, and all the veggies worked together beautifully. But the real showstopper was the added mushrooms -- so rich and full of depth that we nearly fought over them. We enjoyed everything out on their patio and left already planning our next visit. A wonderful meal all around.

Actually has more of a selection of kombucha and mead. It's about $10 for a case, which is the only way to get these. Best one we had of these was the Fluffy. This is their flagship New England IPA. Has notes of citrus and grapefruit. This was okay but nothing special to be honest. Finding it was pretty hard at first. It's located on University Avenue in the building with Hot Shots. The beers are often available in Wegmans.

This is their flagship West Coast IPA that was kind of smooth. Made with Cascade, Citra, Columbus, and Simcoe hops. There's notes of grapefruit and pine. Food is basic. It's about $1 for a bag of chips. They often have food carts or trucks. Got to say that we could go here again. It's located on Atlantic Avenue close to the George Eastman Museum. There's only snacks but you can bring in whatever.

Something about the feeling you get that you could sit there and nurse a can of something-not-even-made-by Three Heads, and no one would shoo you away because they wanted the table.... I've actually been a customer for years - from meeting friends for an afternoon cider, to attending group work events, to listening to local bands, to attending costume contests during Halloween. I always feel welcomed, comfortable, and supported as a consumer, despite my lack of enthusiasm for the latest IPA and/or the fact that I am often the DD (designated driver) in need of a non-alcoholic beverage. Three Heads is a great place, with good people, and lots of things to choose from whether it be beer, cider, sours, sodas, non-alcoholic drinks, etc. I will be back, and hope to see you there too!
