Kombucha might be old news to some of you crazy kids, but it's not exactly a household name in America yet. Still, San Francisco seems to have embraced this promising elixir more than your average town. Check it!
Step away from the toilet! Kombucha is a hangover godsend.
Is it the effervescence? Or perhaps the soothing feeling of microorganisms sliding down your intestinal tract. Either way, Kombucha definitely takes the edge off of a hangover in my scientific opinion.
Crepe O Chocolat
75 O'Farrell St, San Francisco, CA
They serve homemade cayenne pepper kombucha.
Try some alternative probiotic eats.
I cannot tell a lie: I have already filled my “Buy 10 Get 1 Free” card at Tuttimelon since it moved down the street from my house 3 months ago. Now if only this worked for a hangover too.
You can't have floaties without liquid!
Creeped out by the look/texture of kombucha? Try one of these capsules.
Mission Groceteria
2950 23rd St, San Francisco, CA 94110
Another unlikely little corner shop kombucha vendor. Grumpy Joe makes a decent sandwich here too.

Charlie's Deli Cafe
3202 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA
Cute little mom ‘n’ pop deli with good sandwiches, a supreme black bean burger, and of course, your detoxifying drink of the hour!
Shufat Market
3807 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94114
This is the little corner store that could. Not only did I find kombucha here, but I also picked up some tahini which I had been searching for.

Not the cheapest place to get your coveted beverage, but if you’re in the hood. . .

Prices got you down?
Why not learn how to make this miracle fungus yourself?
Drink your colonies, young lady!
Forget about the brocoli, Mom. The new tableside challenge of parenthood will soon be the battle to get the youngsters amped on drinking an acidic tasting beverage with bacteria floaties in it. Perhaps The Wiggles will have to write a pro-Kombucha jam called “Colony Consumption” to get the kiddies excited.
Welcome to San Francisco! Now drink some SCOBY.
Ditch the used hotel shampoo bottles in that welcome basket. I always offer my out-of-town guests a Kombucha as an introduction to my fair city. Even though most of them seem to have to pretend to enjoy it, half of the time it begins to grow on my little guinae pigs.
They even make kombucha soap!
This seems like an even bigger scam than the Snuggie!
Not into the DIY?
I wholeheartedly admit that I’d prefer my bacteria be cultured by someone else’s hand. So for now, I’ll just search out the best places to pick up the pre-bottled type. Godspeed you next young Guidespotter who decides to make a kombucha How-To.
A Few Surpising Places Where I've Found Kombucha
Big Apple Grocery Express
1650 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109
My local oddball grocery store. Sometimes you can’t find carrots, but they ALWAYS carry kombucha. Plus their plant/seed selection is quite charming.

Pay N Save Grocery

Cheap and open late. I’ll take it!

And a couple of obvious places for good measure...
Haight Fillmore Whole Foods
501 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117
Amongst others. It’s kind of hard to hate an empire that sells ostrich eggs, in my opinion. Plus, their kombucha prices really are pretty low.

Lettus
3352 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94123
This place is actually now called “The Plant Cafe.” They have really juicy veggie burgers, and way overpriced kombucha. The cashier here even tried to talk my friend out of getting his first kombucha, citing that “it tastes like vinegar.” Sigh. How I have such mixed feelings about you, Plant Cafe.

Chiotras Grocery
858 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94107
A terrific little grocery shop with a nice deli. But you’ll have to choose between the kombucha and the retro Mexican cola in a glass bottle.

Golden Produce
172 Church St, San Francisco, CA 94114
This place is like a cheaper version of Whole Foods. Pick up your kombucha with a side of spirulina all for less than one hour’s pay at work!
