Fox Tale Fermentation Project in San Jose

I have been coming here since they opened and barely got around to doing a review now. Beautiful little spot. I have come here on date nights, after art events, and most recently to finish up some college essays… which means that this place is PERFECT for all occasions casual and not. Bring a friend, a partner, a classmate whatever and you are sure to have a delicious time. All the staff is so friendly and the music is never too loud and always fits the vibe. The drinks are so refreshing, and the brine shot I definitely recommend before you head out. They change the fermentation menu so each time you go will bring new tastes to your plate.

More of this please. A sweet little hole in the wall but really a diamond in the rough. A place that is new but feels as though it’s been here for years. Great drinks with a unique twist. The drinks are well crafted and while they are likely not meant for the masses, that’s ok. If you are looking for great craft beer, mock tails, etc. This places offers quality through their craft in drinks, food and experience. Really glad to see a little business like in DTSJ.

I recently discovered this unique brewery + fermentation restaurant serving some of the most creative Kombuchas, mocktails and flavorful plant-based bites.Parking: You can find street parking per east in the weekend.Space /Ambiance: They have indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor wall art of the giant fox illustration and vibrant colors give the place a very eclectic and refreshing vibe.Food/drinks: It’s mostly plant-based except a couple of items. They have a seasonally rotating menu. We got the Half spread which comes with 1 fermented item and it was delish! We also got the popular Cultured Cashew Queso with Salsa Macha and chips, definitely a must try. The queso was perfectly cheesy, cant even tell its plant-based, and the Salsa Matcha was so unique combination. The mocktails look insanely good and taste amazing- Butterfly Pea Mocktail was great!Service: They have very kind staff, incredibly helpful in recommending some items. The service was also pretty quick.Community oriented: Their concept of being a place for the community is amazing, they host Open mic and other events too. Highly recommend it and I cant wait to go back.Plan a trip to visit Fox Tale and try their amazing drinks and bites, youll love it.

Delicious and insanely creative food, beer, mocktails and fermented veggies prepared with locally harvested ingredients. The Fox Tale team are one of a kind! They often have one off special food offerings using super fresh and seasonal veggies—like the amazing mushroom bucatini pasta seen below. First beer i had from them was the Pomona’s Paradise—a golden stout with persimmons launched as an autumn special (with the collaboration of Camino Brewing Co) before they opened their brick and mortar location. I’ve been fans ever since!

Madly in love with the kombucha here! Cute location, wonderful staff and flavorful food. I highly recommend the Fox Tale!

This is owned by a (soon to be married) couple who own and run th3le shop!He was a beer brewer and she was in food at Silicon valley and during covid they decided to open this up!I no longer drink but they have a whole left side menu for people like me.Snap Pea and Mint & Noctournal Dance slapped. LolAvocado toast was amazing.I came here for their Make Music Day concert and its great to find out they hold open mics on Thursday (1st & 3rd I think) and comedy on Sundays.Support a locally run and operated business here! Everyone seemed to love the beers too!

This place is AWESOME. I almost dont want to write a review about this place so theres not a long line snaking out the door on a Friday night. But credit when credits due; Fox Tales is unique in the best way. Almost all of the food is fermented and its downright delectable. Dont know what youre even ordering? Just do it. You wont be disappointed.Oh and the bread with the sunflower dip, how I love thee...

Enjoyed the creative drinks! Food is pretty tasty, lots of different types of fermented krauts.

What a delicious experience! We got a huge spread to share and everything was just incredible. It was healthy, delicious, and had layers and layers of flavors. I cannot wait to go back.

This place has very uniquely awesome beers (mushroom, beet, etc..) as well as a large variety of NA mocktails that are delicious as well. Inviting environment in the heart of DT San Jose.
