Cultured Pickle Shop

Had a wonderful rice bowl session with Kevin and Alex. You could just get a bowl and grab a seat, but having each ferment explained really adds a wonderful layer on top of some amazing food. They openly take on questions as their whole process is continually in flux depending on what fresh ingredients are available for them to work with and also pivoting when a kombucha decides its want to become vinegar etc.

What a unique and wonderful place! Went there this past Saturday for their special menu that they serve on weekends only, more than 20 fermented foods included in the price and if you happen to get a seat at the long table ( highly recommend) you can watch the owner Kevin delight you with his knowledge of the history of fermentation and watch how he carefully prepares each item. He explains how important flavor, color and texture is and wowza every item was bursting with flavor and had so many different textures, all delicious. This place is a must if you want a unique dining experience with amazing food and welcoming owners, can’t wait to go back!

What a great find. Someone at a farmers market told us about this place and we stopped by. Amazing products, and can’t wait to go back for the weekend lunch! If you like fermented foods, it will not disappoint!

I’m confident there aren’t many places like this in the world. We sat at the head of the table so got to watch our bowl get made & learn about each ingredient. The varied techniques, inventive use of seasonal ingredients, and low waste sustainable practices were inspiring. I felt nourished both in my curiosity to learn more about fermentation as well as in my stomach & soul. We came in at the end of a busy day still the plating remained intentional and the staff personable. Can’t wait to come back & try some of what we learned at home!

This is a really unique restaurant in so many ways. The seating is unique because you sit at large tables and on the other side of them is where the food’s being prepared. The food is unique and I’ve never experienced anything quite like it. The variety of flavors was delightful. I’m guessing it only seats around 30 people so it’s best to make a reservation. It’s probably some of the healthiest food available.

Such a unique vegan-friendly experience! A must try if you like pickled food! A small family run place, dining only offered on weekends (reservations suggested because space is very limited), and small batches of various pickled products, kombucha and amazake are available for purchase every day.

Hosting stresses me out. Are they comfortable? Is there enough food? Do they like the food? This is what I was asking myself when I was hosting a culture of bacteria in my stomach. I had oatmeal that morning because I heard that bacteria likes to munch on fiber from whole grains. It was the good stuff too, Bob's Red Mill. The kombucha and kimchi from here sat very well in my stomach, I'm assuming they enjoyed their stay! They were great guests! Would definitely have them in my belly again.
