They have an open mic night and the live music drew us in. I'm from Hawaii, so was excited to see they had "Hawaiian" food. I ordered the duck saimin, the broth was super salty. I had to poor my glass of water into it to make it edible. My husband ordered the yakisoba, he thought it was okay, but it was covered in green onions and was made with glass noodles and he doesn't care for either. The place was busy and so we didn't get much service, it seemed like the bartender was also serving everyone. The music was entertaining, though. We will probably give it another go on another open mic night. Sometimes you just order the wrong thing. read more

Well, kombucha Town has left the building! But don't worry, In it's place is the Culture Cafe which had plenty of yummy bites to choose from. An inviting, open dining area, with some fun vegetarian options; enjoyed the chili oil edamame and a local coconut Porter! read more

Haven't been here in over 2 years, since the pandemic. They have changed their menu and it is AMAZING! I've eaten here twice in the past week and both dishes were excellent. I especially love the San Juan Salad with Ahi Tuna, wakame, pickled ginger and avocado! My mom had the Mahi-mahi Caesar and said it was delicious. Definitely check this place out! You will not be disappointed!! read more

Kombucha Town - San Juan Salad - Kombucha Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

The Singapore Sling cocktail was aaaaaaamazing! The second one was even better ;) We tried a few appetizers and WOW were they good! Tops was the pork belly and watermelon. The chicken wings were huge and nicely spicy!!! And the pinch bao buns (we did the veggie ones) were good but did need a good dosing of the yummy sauce it came with. Next time I'd add the pork belly to those. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes! And have more of those Singapore Slings!! read more

This place is absolutely fantastic. The beers were great, the kombucha, that you can get all over the place in the us! Is fantastic. The service is friendly, attentive, and all around fantastic. We went to another place that serves ramen on this trip and it was absolutely atrociously bland. Their red volcano listed as super spicy lacked all seasoning whatsoever including anything remotely spice. Kombucha on the other hand had a great flavorful pork broth that was utterly fantastic. The choice of soba noodles went along the theme of the Hawaiian focused menu, but... seemed a bit heavy for an already heavy pork broth mix. It was still and absolute save from the other place. My wife has the San Juan bowl. It was perfect. The seared ahi was just magnificent. And there are just zero complaints to be had. Go here. You can't go wrong. read more

"Bridges of Madison County"- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd7fx17UCQU In the hit 90s romantic novel, hippie photographer Robert Kincaid travels from hometown Bellingham, Washington to Iowa to take pictures of covered bridges. At the same time, he enjoys a brief romance with bored housewife Francesca Johnson. Kombucha Town keeps the hippie vibe alive in downtown Bellingham. They also source local Pacific Northwest flavors, like blueberry and Cascadian hops. You can get a six pack for $25, it's affordable and delicious, since kombucha can get expensive. Their original ginger flavor is perfect for queasiness. It's got some caffeine. Their blood orange is OK (appropriate that "Twilight", about vampire romance, was filmed in Washington) Their lavender has a delightful flowery taste. Kombucha Town is excellent. read more

Kombucha A+. Food A+. They had 4 kombucha's rotating that day. The Gold was probably my favorite. It had an undertone of ginger flavor that was not too overpowering, and there was not a pungent flavor like how some kombuchas are. For food I had the soup of the day which was red pepper at the time. Super tasty, and a great little snack if that is what you're in the mood for. The salmon costini was probably my absolute favorite though! Such a simple dish but so delicious at the same time. Also the presentation boards that most of the food is served on is such a great touch to having something unique about the cafe. Although we were too full by happy hour, all the tacos coming through looked so good! I sat at the bar next to where the waiters pick up food to be served and I think that was the only think i saw for a solid hour were tacos being made. Definitely something to try next time. Other than food, customer service was also fantastic. My first kombucha was a very flat, so the bar tender was kind enough to switch out the keg for a fresh batch. Also everyone was super friendly and attended to you very well. Ambience is great! It's a perfect place if you need to study with a drink during the day. Not that I experience night life, but apparently it's also supposed to be a great place to start a night right. Definitely somewhere to come back to!! read more

Love the Kombucha Town kombucha! Especially the Cascadian Hop. Citrusy and refreshing. Culture Cafe has a small menu of tasty accompaniments to nosh while you enjoy your beverage. Near the Downtown Farmers Market which is open on Saturday's from 1100-3p. Culture Cafe is a relaxing stop after an afternoon perusing local produce and gifts. read more

Kombucha Town - Citrusy Kombucha Town Cascadian Hop - Kombucha Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Kombucha! I actually really like it but don't get it that often. It just has to hit me just right. Kind of like a cider but I am almost always glad that I had it when I do. This is my very first kombucha brewery that I have been to and it was very exciting! They had a whole range of flavors to pick from but since we were on a beer drinking marathon only one drink. I got the Green Jasmine Kombucha which was excellent! I was tempted to get their mint one as well but temptation was curbed. The address is 1155 North State Street but it is a little tricky to figure out. Where the doors are with the building number up front is not where you go into the place. You need to turn to your right and go down the side street. If they are open they should have a sign out on the sidewalk which will help give you direction as to how to get to the place. It isn't that hard really, just a heads up. read more

The kombucha was okay. My fruity flavor, I forgot which fruit it was, tasted like just regular unflavored kombucha (the kind you first get when you separate the scoby from the freshly brewed kombucha, before you second ferment it with something to differentiate the flavor; I used to brew my own when I wasn't traveling) and my boyfriend's ginger kombucha tasted the same--no ginger flavor whatsoever. But it was a nice refreshment nonetheless as it was so hot outside, and the price was low (the places I'm used to going to outside of WA charges double for kombucha). Unfortunately, the super loud trivia guy ruined the atmosphere (he was, I guess, taking a break when we first showed up and ordered). I get it if it's a busy nice and you've got a rowdy crowd, but there was only one small table of two women participating. The volume was too much for a mostly empty place and we tried to hide out in the other room where the arcade games were. Stayed there to quickly drain our kombucha and then got out of there as it smelled of basement. read more

Pretty good food and great kombucha. I ordered takeout and was met with a pretty aggressive bouncer. I'm not yet drinking age, and he gave me sideways glances and seemed to think I would try stealing alcohol or something. I just wanted my food lol. In the end there weren't any issues, besides feeling very unwelcome there. read more

The portions for sandwiches have shrunk significantly and the choices! They no longer have my favourite grilled salmon sandwiches and the new ones are quite skimpy.... not does it include the sides :( too bad as I loved this place! The food is still tasty but not the value anymore and actually expensive now where regular $6 sandwiches elsewhere will cost $12 and not full you up! read more

Server was bartender also. Ordered pork belly appetizer and it was almost all burnt. Food was OK. Never refilled water. I finished my cocktail and she asked my husband if he wanted another beer and Walked away before I could tell her I wanted another drink. read more

Hooray for kombucha town!!!!! Not only do they make their own Kombuchas, but they sell it to mix with different liquors here :) I come here often to enjoy just a glass of the Jasmine Kombucha and play a board game or two with some friends. The food menu is actually pretty tasty as well. They are also dog friendly inside which makes me rave even more about this place!!! Love this little spot. read more

Last Friday evening we went to Kombucha Town to place a take out order for our party of 6, family birthday celebration. I understand during COVID to expect delays with orders and I totally want to support businesses during the Pandemic, so that didn't bother me. To the woman taking orders that night, YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. If you don't have the patience to handle large orders, then maybe let someone who really needs a job, take yours. All the menus posted here are obsolete and I could not find a menu online, so everyone had to change their orders at the last minute. I heard the mac & cheese is really good, but I don't recommend for take out - gets a glue-like consistency - so should be eaten on site or right away. Had to order burgers without fries since they ran out and my south western jackfruit wrap that I had to settle for, was a disappointment. I really wanted to like this place, but will need to wait until the next time I am back in B'ham. read more

The food was very diverse in flavor and the gin and tonic is the best in town! The bartender fady is awesome and the ambiance is as well! Would recommend checking it out! read more

The food here can be really hit or miss, but overall it is not spectacular. If having your food served on a chunk of wood is more important than the food itself, then this is the place for you. One redeeming factor is that they usually have a great selection of beer to choose from. They have had live music a couple times that I have been in, and this place really isn't big enough for a live band. I will certainly be back, but not for the food. read more

I'm cross-posting this review with Culture Cafe because I wanted to give Kombucha Town a higher rating. Here is my full review of both: I am mixed about this place...it's a trendy, funky space that is very inviting. I am inclined to give the Kombucha side of the house 4 stars. Nothing like a cold, draft booch and there was a decent variety of flavors. I tried the original ginger and it was pretty tasty. Culture Cafe, however, is where my review heads south. My boyfriend tried the burger and mac n cheese...the burger was pressed so firmly that it was chewy and had a strange consistency and it tasted more like sausage than a burger. It was also way too small for the huge bun that it came on. The mac n cheese was ok, but it was swimming in milk (very "liquidy" and not creamy), which was off-putting. I had the kale caesar (which was actually romaine) and tomato soup. The salad was decent enough, I liked the crisp, fresh lettuce, but the caesar dressing was a bit too fishy. The tomato soup tasted like and had a texture as if there was some type of grain in it (which wasn't good or bad, just strange) and it was quite acidic and bland. I might return to have a glass of booch and enjoy the atmosphere, but I likely won't eat there again. read more

I bought Cascadian Hops kombucha by Kombucha Town at a local Puget Sound grocery store, brought it home and it exploded in the can. This is really unforgiveable, the cedar wood siding in my kitchen is now stained and I have a sticky mess everywhere. I complained but they don't respond to email. YUCK read more

I have been wanting to visit this place since I really love kombucha, even brought a growler to fill up. The place is nice and the food is delicious here. Everything was fine except for the staff was inconsistent with the pricing of the growler fill. One person said they didn't know the prices and asked. Came back and said it's $9 for any size growler. Next time I visited with the growler the guy charged me $12 for a 64oz growler.... Which is their NORMAL price of $3 per 16oz. read more

Terrible service, flat beer. Spend your money at another local business who deserves it.

This horrendous experience has compelled me to leave my first ever yelp review....the food took an hour (only one other table in the restaurant), we asked about how much longer and were told 10 more minutes. The other table also asked where their food was... they loudly stated we had a large order.... apparently three plates is a large order to them. When the food did arrive it was cold.....in the time we were waiting for food we saw the kitchen staff taking smoke breaks and chatting outside. The chef came out and talked to us seeming apologetic and said we would be "taken care of". In the end nothing was discounted and in fact we were charged more than the menu prices. Needless to say we will not be coming back and will be spreading the word of their atrocious customer service. read more

Wrote another review for Culture Cafe, came for a Yelp event. The owner Chris was very gracious in hosting us and providing our party with some of his delicious, refreshing and tasty Kombucha. He even gave us a tour of the facility which was fascinating. The atmosphere is eclectic and fun, I love the expanses of glass yet the feeling of still being sub grade with the sidewalk coming down chestnut above the bar. It's a very fun space with great drinks and equally delicious food. I appreciate his business principles and his drive to operate in a sustainable fashion to provide a healthy and delicious product. Check it out, it's a great spot! read more

K. . . Humanity Hates Trump!! And when I'm in a restaurant where a loud and happy crowd of people are playing this game, I know I'm among my tribe! (There was also this amazing salmon panini, apple curry soup and my favorite Wander Beer. . .) I'd also recommend the Happy Hour kale Caesar salad, the tiny yam tacos and the very mellow ambience. There's a chill young man tending bar and some bang-up kitchen action and I've yet to be disappointed after 6 or 7 visits to KT. Big love! Kombucha? (Yeah, I can't speak to that, cause I'm no fan. . .) read more

Finally tried Kombucha! The culture cafe at Kombucha Town is a fun spot on the back side of the Herald building centrally located in our non-stop awesome downtown. Chris gave some of us a tour of the ever expanding facility and gave us a little tutorial on the evolution of his Kombucha. It is organic, fermented sweet tea that can be made in many flavors. Try it- you'll like it:) Other beverages, cocktails and beer are Also available. Jullian is the chef and his menu consists of lovely fresh variety of soups, salads and small plates. During game night, I tried the chicken tacos -which included shredded kale, pickled carrots, roasted corn, cabbage, avocado, cilantro and pico de gallo. Have I left anything out? Lol Yes! The ambiance- it is like going to visit a friend in his loft apartment: artistic, creative and fun. Kombucha Town is epic! read more

I am floored. What just happened to my body?! Never have I ever been so smitten at the sight of my triple sec being gingerly poured over the jagged, translucent shards of ice by the famous Benson. My mouth salivates. Is it that the most beautiful man pouring my drink? Or could it be the aromatic notes playing a symphony in my nostrils as I take in what has to be today's special: Salmon Chowder and Curried Beet. I'll never be able to discern the source of my terminal love for this place, be it the food, atmosphere, Kombucha, or games... I could literally play cribbage into the wee hours of the morning there. My love belongs to K-town. Peace out. read more

Kombucha Town - What is perfection? I'll tell ya right now. It's watching BENSON pour a masterfully poured double of triple sec. - Kombucha Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Bellingham atmosphere with affordable drinks and friendly staff. A good stop on your way bar hopping downtown!

The kombucha is great, as well as their food and mixed drinks. I love the tables and atmosphere. The service, however, left much to be desired! We showed up early on a Sunday evening, hardly a busy time. The place was mostly empty, a few other people at the bar but that was it. There were 11 people in our group. We had no one greet us and no one came to our table. We finally went up to the bar to order. We stood there for a long while before we were helped. There was another couple who was also having trouble getting service. Finally, she took our order....no apologies for the wait or kindness. She was cold and all business. If I'm going to spend the money to go out, I want good food and good service. The food is original but not outstanding. The service is extremely lacking. I will most likely just buy their kombucha at the store, were I will get better service. read more

Not even close this is my favorite place for a snack some booch or for DJ nights. Small but gets the party going. Bartenders are very friendly too. read more

My one and only time there was terrible. Apparently if you sit at the bar you still have to have gone through the little "order" window. That's fine, and I'd be happy to do so, but no one told me. The one bar tender, who was absolutely slow and not busy at all, just looked at us as if we were stupid. In the two opportunities he was standing next to us (doing nothing) and could have simply said "order here" and pointed at their misaligned sign, he instead chose to just look at us awkwardly and walk away. The line grew to the door, he moved on to the new person in line, we left. Simply disappointing. read more

Super cool place with really nice staff - they let me try every single kombucha on tap (I think there were 9) so I could choose the flavour I wanted to get in a growler. Their prices are so reasonable and I hope that this trend makes it's way to Vancouver - Kombucha cocktails are such a great idea. read more

great kombucha, love that I can bring my dog inside, games to play and yummy food. I always visit when i'm in Bellingham.

Great place to grab an afternoon drink. I love there kombuchas on tap.

This place is totally awesome! A Bellingham secret indeed. Cool atmosphere, cheap (and delicious) eats, fun cocktails! We will be back.

I like the house signature tea with ginger. My friend order the green jasmine which I sampled. It's fun to drink non-alcoholic healthy beverages in a pub-like setting. A fun casual environment. We ordered food from the Culture café. My favorite is the chicken and salmon tacos. Very reasonable prices. Wonderful happy hour menu. read more

Excellent service. Jericho helped me get some stickers off my car window and he doesn't even work there. So good. 10/10 would recommend

Kombucha Town is the best! You can go into several local stores and cafes around town to buy a bottle of this delicious, good for you bev and throw it back. You can also get a glass on tap around town. But, can you sit on the upper floor of the the Herald building with sick views of B'ham and suck down a glass of this gold while chatting with some of the friendliest and warmest people around? Why, yes! You can! If you haven't been into the Kombucha Town brewery yet, you should get yourself there, stat! You can even bring in those bottles you've been collecting in the corner of your kitchen from buying kombucha at the store or a cafe and get them refilled from the tap. And, as an added bonus, you get to meet the brewers and see how Kombucha is actually made. Also, learn a tad about how rad this business really is. So, it can be a delicious and informative visit. All around good for you. Now, stop chillin' online and go drink some kombucha! read more
