Just discovered this fun spot for tea. Perfect for hanging out with friends! Love the energy in this space. Lots of art, large tables, tasty drinks, books and games, and easy parking. They offer tea drinks to enjoy there and also a good selection of teas to bring home. read more

Went to see a new place in the terminal and seen this place selling tea. I love tea and so glad there is a place close to home that sells it. Owners seem great and they have a great ambience going on. A great place for the artsy person who also loves tea. We will be back and next time to sit awhile and sip some tea. read more

Snowy Owl Kombucha is located in the Barrel Factory in Buffalo by the first ward. Kombucha is my drink of choice besides water because it's a natural probiotic. Kombucha is fermented green and black tea but snowy owl has many types of cool natural flavors you can choose from. Some of my current favorites are: violet, strawberry elderflower, and candy apple for fall! Snowy Owl gives you the option of buying a six pack so you can choose six different flavors!!!! My friends and I were excited about this. Everyone working there is so helpful and friendly, so if you want a sample they will give you as many as you desire. I like mixing my kombucha with sparking water to make it last longer! Their kombucha is now starting to be bottled to look out for it! I saw Snowy Owl kombucha candy apple at Fresh Catch Poke! Support a cool local business and drink sometime healthy for you mentally and physically. This is definitely a win win for all! read more

Will never not give them five stars. Excellent flavors, great customer service, making kombucha accessible and affordable! They now have a share program where you can get four 32 oz. fills (one bottle included) for 25% off! I had to stop myself in only getting one (strawberry elderflower) this time. Not doing samples right now, but if you talk through what you like and dislike they're happy to help. If you have empty bottles, they'll take them to sterilize and give you new bottles to take home. They're even doing free delivery on Fridays right now! Order online today. I can't wait to see what the new location looks like as they move forward. Thanks for being wonderful as always, guys! read more

Snowy Owl Kombucha - Signage out front as of 5/16/20 - Kombucha Near Me - Buffalo, New York

So we had an event at the Barrel Factory and upon leaving I stopped at the counter on the lower floor and decided to give them a try. They were one of the vendors at the event, but I missed being able to give them a try. There is this nice walk up booth with a few stools if you want to have a seat or you can grab them to go and take them.out. This is premade kombucha and it is free slowing from a tap, as if it were beer ....how cool is that. So I join in a conversation with another yelper who also stopped down for a full beverage and he recommended the Ultraviolet... OMG it was delish ! So I opted for the 6 pack for $20 The gentleman working was quite knowledgeable and made some recommendations on what to try. But he was MORE than willing to allow me to sample as may as I wanted as we engaged in idle chatter .... I selected 2 Ultraviolet, Candy Apple, Strawberry Elderflower, LGBT ( Lemon, Ginger, Black Pepper Tumeric), strawberry lemonade I love Kombucha and the flavor of these was on point. I have since gone back 2 additional times to grab a couple 6 packs Considering what I generally pay for one bottle I find this to be a good deal Be sure to give them a try read more

After sampling them at the 2018 Yelpies, I came back the next day to see what flavors they offered and get a cup to go (I would've gotten my growler filled if I would've had it). Compared to other local kombucha makers, Snowy Owl is on par with flavor offerings and price. Besides the flavors they offer, Snowy Owl stands out because they make several smaller batches of kombucha instead of commercial size batches. If you've never had kombucha, come to Snowy Owl and they'll tell you all about it. It's fermented tea that's then flavored. It's full of probiotics and vitamin B, and contains "trace amounts" of alcohol. Some kombucha is served carbonated, some not. Today I had the Strawberry Elderflower flavor which was amazing. I hope this is one of their staples because I'd like to come back for a growler! read more

Snowy Owl Kombucha - Kombucha Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Free local delivery. Bike-friendly. I'm wild about the tea sampler pack. Favorites so far: Ultraviolet, green tea with violet and lemongrass (good hot or cold), Second Breakfast (lemon poppyseed and toasted oats), and Eleventh Hour (black tea, vanilla, cardamom). Second Breakfast has the cutest package and yes, I ordered it because of its name. Ultraviolet's violet flavor is subtle. I'm a big tea fan and the sampler packet has wowed me, if it's not already evident. I'm not usually a fan of cardamom but I really liked Eleventh Hour. I recently placed an online order for free, local delivery and give Snowy Owl (hey, Tara!) A+++++ for service and value. read more

I first tried Snowy Owl at CRG Buffalo when they were giving out free kombucha at the Boulders and Brew event. The worker (and fellow climber) was friendly and very willing to explain the different flavors and let us try samples. After climbing tonight we decided to check out their shop. They offer an assortment of unique flavors that they make themselves as well as hot tea. Both workers were friendly and let us try free samples until we were ready to order. I ended up ordering a 6 pack of 12 oz bottles for $20. Their ultra violet flavor is my favorite! It has hints of juniper and cranberry. I think their kombucha has a more sour note than other kombuchas, but they all have a unique and delicious flavor. I would highly recommend checking this place out! read more

I haven't actually been to this place, but my best friend gave me a whole bunch of their tea bags for my birthday. I brewed The Eleventh Hour tea this morning and it's so delicious I just had to write a review. This is honestly one of the best mugs of tea I've even had the pleasure of drinking. I also tried Second Breakfast so far and liked it as well! Next time I'm in Buffalo, I very much want to try this shop. read more

I had been to their place when they used to be in the Barrel Factory. I saw them at a Christmas time show and they said they had move; finding their new location was definitely an adventure. It's nestled back in what looks like a trucking area or something. Just look for the sign; I think you have to go back at least one layer of buildings to find it. I believe they're only open on Saturdays. I've met the sisters a couple of times and they're just so friendly. I feel like they take their work so seriously and also their customer satisfaction seriously and with care. Everything they do is beautiful and using so much personal care and energy. The facility though mainly a processing facility has been crafted to be a beautiful space as well. I love their teas, so far I've only tried two of them, but I love them, the poppy seed muffin one and a variety of chai was amazing. I got the vanilla mint oolong growler of kombucha which I was able to sample beforehand, what an amazing kombucha and what great flavor. Good price to $10 a growler! Definitely a place to support. And I love their artwork as well!!! read more

Discovered Snowy Owl kombucha through a Fresh Fix order (if you don't know about Fresh Fix, get on it!). The kombucha flavors include violet, as in Choward's violet gum. Incredible. Went to Snowy Owl HQ/tea room in the Clinton-Bailey grocery terminal and discovered a twinkling space filled with owl muses and teas to match the kombucha flavors. Violet, Earl Grey-Creamsickle, turmeric-ginger, blackberry- hibiscus... etc. the teas are packaged like little presents. I gave them away like calling cards on my last trip to Brooklyn. Now it's another thing they're jealous of that we have in Buffalo! Also, it's founded by sisters. What else do you need to know? Go! read more

Snowy Owl is currently doing home delivery on Fridays with a $20 minimum purchase. A 32-ounce growler of any of their kombucha flavors is $10, so it's easy to reach that minimum. They also currently sell hand sanitizer and can deliver that as well. I ordered three growlers through their website: Raspberry Mosaic Hops, Ultraviolet, and Strawberry Elderflower. Delivery was contactless, and the growlers were packaged in a paper bag labeled with my name and a note thanking me for my business. My husband and I both agreed that of the three flavors we ordered, the Ultraviolet is the best. He says it reminds him of dandelion and burdock soda which he enjoyed in England, and I think it tastes like Smarties candies. Neither of us could really taste the Elderflower in the Strawberry Elderflower, though it was still nice to drink. The raspberry was fine, too, but the clear standout of the three was Ultraviolet. Snowy Owl's other flavors sound intriguing, so we're apt to place another order soon, but would definitely get the Ultraviolet again, too. read more

This place has out of this world great tasting kombucha. You may not like kombucha but I dare you to try it here. It will change your perception for the better. The owners make it right there, it's fresh and delicious and so healthy for your gut. Stop in and say hi try a sample you won't be disappointed. read more

Located in the newly opened Barrel Factory. Friendly couple that's making several varieties of Kombucha. I liked each variety and chose the mixed berry lemonade. The space is still under construction and already looks amazing. Lakeward Distillery (same location) uses their kombucha in some of their mixed drinks. So nice to see businesses moving into the area around the silos. This space is going to be a stunner when completed read more

Snowy Owl Kombucha - On tap right now - Kombucha Near Me - Buffalo, New York

After trying them at the 2018 Yelpies I have been thinking about maybe going back and picking up a growler full. I believe I had the strawberry elderberry flavor and can tell you that it was excellent. It would definitely be a great alternative to pop or other sugary beverages in my opinion. It was very good and supposedly has a lot of health benefits as well. Next time I find myself in the area, I plan to stop back in to pick up some more! read more

This place serves up some of the best kombucha I have had. They have a variety of flavors to suit every palette, and have some great ideas on how to drink it (what to mix it with to make the experience extra awesome). The space is an old barrel factory (hence the name of the location- inside the Barrel Factory) with exposed bricks and has a great vibe of old-school manufacturing to it. The place shares space with a bunch of other local businesses from a distillery to a kayak rental- so when you are there you can check out some other places, too. They have a great patio out front to breathe in some fresh air while you sip (if it's the summer that is!) but the inside is cavernous and you can take your drink and enjoy it in the large inner space, or get a large jug to go. read more

Uhhh, well a friend of mine and myself chose this drink over regular beer and liquor. Loved the Kombucha so much we stayed a while, ordered a second and she even ordered a third. Unrelated, I will say I want to see alcoholic kombucha in buffalo, as it's being sold all over west coast. Snowy Owl let me know when your selling some yummy stuff like San Diego's own Butchcraft. read more

Snowy Owl Kombucha - Kombucha Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This is a review for the actual kombucha, which i picked up on tap at Undergrounds Cafe. I got a 16 oz and filled 3/4 with the green ginger assam and 1/4 with the pomegranate hibiscus rose variety. DANG this is good kombucha!! I am very picky about the flavor and vinegary-ness of many brands I've come across, and I'm so excited that we have a new homegrown brand to be proud of. The ginger was fresh and spicy, and the little bit of sweetness from the pomegranate and hibiscus rounded out the cup nicely. The carbonation was just right, and I loved that there was a tap right at the cafe for maximum freshness. Can't wait to check out the storefront and additional flavors once released! Overall, great beverage experience. read more

A must if you like this!!! Great staff, lovely place, and kids friendly!! Take a drive here summer winter fall spring ... Buffalo has figured what people want and is giving it to us read more

I must say that I am generally not a huge fan of Kombucha. The main issues I generally have are that they are too strong on certain flavors, or they are too carbonated. With that being said, the ones offered by Snowy Owl are fantastic. I tried the Strawberry Elderflower, and the Ginger Lemon and both were a refreshing change from the usual pitfalls that I find with Kombucha. The flavors on both of these drinks were crisp, clean and refreshing with just enough carbonation to not overpower the flavor of the individual ingredients, or your taste buds. The Strawberry Elderflower being the ideal mix of fruity and floral, and the lemon ginger an excellent balance of the earthy bite of the ginger and acidity of the lemon. Both flavor combinations worked well to form a refreshing and delightful Kombucha beverage. read more

Best kombucha in the city at some of the most attractive prices. Their Raspberry Mosaic Hopped kombucha is heavenly.
