I was in the neighborhood looking for a quick stop for coffee and stumbled upon Main House Market…read more I love the atmosphere; it's very chill, calm and a little retro. All the workers were extremely welcoming and friendly and willing to answer any questions I had about their offerings. Looks like they have a selection of vegan foods and ice cream as well. I ordered the Rapadura iced latte as recommended and it was delicious! I love that all of their drinks are made with non-dairy milk. I'll definitely be coming back to try the guava matcha, the worker I talked to said that's a popular drink that people come back frequently for.

Such a beautiful interior with art everywhere and lots of stands with various goods for sale, from…read morehealing stones, t-shirts, and stickers to granola, vegan wine, and a cool vending machine with mystery packages (body care, snacks, etc). Prices were reasonable for specialty goods from local businesses. I didn't try their drinks, but I got food from Buku Vegan which is also inside the market, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. This is a must-see, especially since it is also just a block away from the farmers market every Saturday. Parking is available in a lot behind the building, and there's no Internet.

Swamp Head Brewery in Gainesville is easily one of the best brewery experiences around. I tried a…read moreflight of four featuring Not a Flamingo, Sky Puppies, Hawk Moth, and Moundz, and it was the perfect way to see how well they execute across completely different styles. Not a Flamingo was incredibly smooth with a dessert-like flavor without being too heavy, Sky Puppies was juicy and clean, Hawk Moth had a really nice balance with a subtle sweetness, and Moundz was on another level if you enjoy rich, decadent stouts. The atmosphere is just as good as the beer, laid back, welcoming, and exactly what you want when you are hanging out and trying a few different pours. Everything felt consistent and well thought out from the menu to the quality in the glass. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Swamp Head Brewery to anyone who appreciates great craft beer.

We stopped by Swamp Head Brewery last week and then came back again last night for their bingo…read moreevent benefiting the Crescent Beach Challenge for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and honestly, it just confirmed what we already thought, this is the best brewery we've ever been to, and we travel a lot. Their beer flights are incredible and the selection is seriously mind blowing. You can tell they put a lot of care into what they brew, and they genuinely deserve every award on the wall. If we could give it a 10 star rating, we absolutely would. The staff has always been super friendly and welcoming, and we've never really had to wait long for a beer even when it's busy. We love the outdoor setup and activities, and the whole place has such a relaxed, family friendly vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. We tried quite a few different beers across both visits and everything was great, but our personal favorites were the Dole Whip, Gummy Worm, and Pink Starburst flavors. Even the bathrooms were spotless both times, which is always a nice bonus and shows how well they take care of the place overall. We really love the vibe here and we will definitely be back again soon.

Welcome to one of Ocala's little gems…read more Anyone who has grown up here can attest to the ch-ch-ch-changes happening in Ocala at the moment and for us youngsters, it's exactly what was needed. A supremely casual brewery in the middle of downtown Ocala with the best kind of parking around (free parking!). With a selection of over 25 brews unique to IAW, one cannot go wrong. From light and crisp to sour perfection to hazy and bitter--they've got it all. Come by yourself, come with friends, come with your dog--no matter who, you'll feel welcomed and comfortable at IAW. The staff is great and lovely to chat with (Aaron, I'm talking about you!) Some nights they have live music and others a jukebox for your music monopoly tendencies--they even have food trucks sometimes! If you're living here or just passing through, come by Infinite Ale Works! It's a must try.

So I went to this establishment for what was advertised as an Oyster festival. Needless to say…read morewhen I arrived at 6pm I was told the festival sold out at 2pm that day even though the event was advertised as being from 11-9pm. so I decided to sit at the bar and have a drink. First I was in line behind someone being help at the register on the other end of the bar. The waitress helped the gentleman and then left the register as if she was handling some other things behind the bar, never returning to take my order, even passing by me several times. Taking orders around the bar. Then A young couple walked up behind me and were helped by the gentleman behind the bar, I assumed he had been helping them before because they were discussing how much alcohol was in a particular beer and weather or not the underage young women could legal drink it based on the alcohol , Now I'm still standing there, yet no one asked to take my order or if I needed anything! Two people finish eating and left so I took one of the seats at the end of the bar beside where I was standing . I watched while the lady lady bartender finished her shift and left and another bartender took her place, upon staring her shift she went straight to help the large group of gentleman at the bar with drinks, so I told myself maybe they have been waiting just as long as I have , yet when she finished with their drinks she walked right past me sitting there with a menu in hand! The final straw was seeing the gentleman with the beard come and take orders from two groups of people standing right beside me , where I previously was and he never attempted to take my order! I won't even mention me looking up and catching a a gentleman staring at me, like literally hard staring at me!! I don't like to make assumptions however I can only assume I was not a welcome sight in this establishment due to me being a black woman!!! I'm in Ocala for a travel assignment and I can say experiencing something like I did at this place yesterday tells me all I need to know about this area! To all my brown people stay clear of this establishment I've included pictures so there is no confusion about the individuals!

Get ready for Gnarbucha to ruin all other kombucha for you!…read more Gnarbucha is hands down some of the best kombucha you will ever have. Even if you haven't liked kombucha in the past, it's probably only because you didn't have homemade with love kombucha (also doesn't have the preservatives that store bought brands have). As someone with tummy problems, it's important for me to always have a full growler in my fridge. They are simply wonderful and a local business that I am very grateful to have in Jax!

I was lucky enough to try several of their kombucha teas at a Yoga event held by Yoga Nook. I…read moreloved it and decided to buy my own. I got the lemon ginger kombucha and it's just the right kind of ginger tang and lemony taste for me. I can't drink a glass full but I certainly can do morning shots. Kombucha, which has been around for over 2,000 years, is a fermented drink made from bacteria and yeast mixed with black or green tea and sugar. The sugary tea turns into kombucha with the help of a SCOBY--a.k.a. "a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast"--which looks a bit like a floating mushroom. Except it's made of live bacteria. It's this bacteria and yeast-fueled fermentation process that sets kombucha apart from other drinks. Thanks to that fermentation process, kombucha is packed with probiotics as well as B vitamins, enzymes, and organic acids. It might also help you de-bloat--always a good thing! I'm always ready to try new things and usually I'm happy when I do. This kombucha is a winner.

I am a fan of Kombucha Tampa! I have tried them and other local Kombucha. I have also tried…read moreKombucha from whole Foods! This tastes a lot milder. The flavors that I tried were a hibiscus berry which I bought a growler of. I also tried a flavor with ginger and apple. It was surprisingly good! There is a lot of research available for Kombucha. I also learned that at first one should just drink 4 ounces and then slowly increase. So far, I feel good drinking it, and will keep trying their other flavors. Check out their website and you will see where they are sold. Most Tampa Bay farmer's markets as well as the Safety Harbor farmers market as far as I have seen!

I just wish it was available in stores closer to me in NPR... just because I can't always drive a half hour to get it. I drank a full growler yesterday. Can't wait to go buy more when I have the chance. Probably another couple growlers so I can have some on hand.
