Fox Tale Fermentation Project - San Jose, California

Try out their incredible spreads and you'll realize that you need more fermentation in your life. It's not weird, it's creative and balanced, surprising and familiar, delicious and honest. Real whole ingredients (their wild mushrooms are spectacular), house made fermented foods, crafted teas and beers, all vegan, all made with passion, all good for your body and soul. Tiny place so expect waiting. Staff is super nice.

Loved all the food we had here - We had the bean burger, funk bowl, the spread platter and chips with cashew cheese. All of these were unique and tasty. Tasted the kombucha as well.

The ambience is pretty hippy.

great menu selection with options for vegan and gluten free. the menu is thought out, flavorful, and overall makes you feel good. great selection of beers and non-alcoholic mocktails and drinks as well. staff is friendly and helpful for finding the right thing for you. some of the drinks are an “acquired taste” as they taste “hoppy” but everything is local and well crafted.

Ordered funky bowl and potato soup
Both were excellent and soup was mind blowingly good.
We also got this drink “accidental hipster” it was also very good. It was a special drink made for recent concert. Wishing them to keep that drink on the menu.

Highly recommend.

I really like the staff and the bar itself, some nice intimate areas to sit at as well as tables nearer the front. We stopped by as their rating were very high online and wanted to check out the beer. The bar is very nice and we liked the overall ambiance - I thought the beer was just ok though we had a tasters of most of the beers, they do use some interesting ingredients on some of the beer such as mushrooms. I liked 'Sunday Funday' if I had to pick one to try again.
I did see other folks having food which looked very good, unfortunately but did not get a chance to try although food may actually be their forte here. Also, there was a host of non alcoholic brews too … quirky bar to have a stop in if downtown.

Chill vibe. Amazing service. You’ll feel like a friend.

I came with a friend for lunch and I ordered the Pan Con Champinon. Omg! It was so flavorful. The mushrooms have a wonderful firm, yet tender bite to them. The flavor was so full and the natural umami flavor from the mushrooms was fabulous. It came with a generous spring mix salad that was topped with all kinds of seeds and yummy fermented tidbits of veggies and a nice vinaigrette.

I enjoyed my food so much I forgot to snap a photo!

I highly recommend Fox Take Fermentation Projext!

Great place! I've been twice so far and fully intend on being a repeat customer. 🙂
Food / drink is really good. (Downtown needs more vegan/vegetarian options so Fox Tale was a find)
Unfortunately, because of the interior hardscape, sound bounces and is not absorbed, making table-mate conversation a bit of a challenge. However, they were most accommodating when I asked them to turn the music down a bit.
An art show was being set up when me and my friend (an artist herself) were there-- it's super that they showcase local art.

It's literally steps away from public transit too.

I highly recommend!

This place is OUTSTANDING! Everything we had was fantastic! You can taste the love! The best caesar salad in CA for sure! 11/10 will be back soon to try everything on the menu! A must try!!
