Stumbled upon this place by chance and were pleasantly surprised n the ambiance and the food were amazin. We especially loved their kombuchas and the lavender and ginger flavors were absolute standouts. For food, the arugula salad was delicious and the pulled lamb bowl was truly out of this world. The lentil miso burger was just okay Overall, definitely a must-visit spot read more

I know absolutely nothing about kombucha. I know it's one of those fermented drinks that attracts its share of obsessives. I only found out after the fact that the Karabiyik brothers, who own this compact cafe, started a kombucha brewery and discovered the value of food pairings in selling their product. Their Harrison Street location is definitely off any path I follow in SoMa, but I thought it would be worth the detour to try some enticing comfort food. Gratefully I was right. The menu is full of Turkish temptations starting with appetizers like an eggless shakshuka and a meze plate as well as various burgers and wraps including a vegan version with lentil miso. My palate was drawn to the $26 Lamb Kebab Plate (Photo 9). A bit pricey but a definite winner with a generous serving of tandoori-style pulled lamb mixed with tomato sauce and roasted red pepper and layered over finely diced pita. Bulgur pilaf, yogurt, and seasoned chickpeas were served on the side. The flavor combinations really worked well together, and there was plenty for a second meal takeout. Even though I only noticed later in my photo that they offer their own kombucha, I just went with a refreshing $3 can of Strawberry Sparkling Water (Photo 8). As it was my first time visiting, I thought seating was limited, but I noticed diners coming out of the back. Good to know for the next visit. FOOD - 5 stars...pricey but honestly one of the most satisfying Turkish plates I've had in the city AMBIANCE - 4 stars...small and busy during the lunch hour but comfortable once seated SERVICE - 4.5 stars...cordial TOTAL - 5 stars...definitely a new occasional go-to for me RELATED - Exploring eastern SoMa?

Came here for a lunch with a friend and this place was so cute! Good: - The bowl was so good - I liked how there were all kinds of veggies and I added the meatballs that added so much - The place is super cute and clean - it's small so there isn't a ton of seating but at 2 pm on a Wednesday it wasn't too bad - Portion size is really good - felt like I got good bang for buck and was full Bad: - The wait time can be long when there isn't too much staff inside Overall this was super memorable and the food was so delicious, I'll be back! read more

Boochmania - Meatball - Kombucha Near Me - San Francisco, California

Perfect spot to end my time in San Francisco. The 2 level interior is beautifully decorated and very relaxing. I didn't try, but many others were ordering from the varied kombucha selections. There are lots of options for vegetarians, and I enjoyed my bulgur bowl with added tofu. Service was polite, and I left with a content mind and tummy. read more

The taproom has a bright, airy feel that makes it an easy place to lose track of time while you sip. The kombucha itself is exceptionally crisp and clean, avoiding that overly vinegary bite you sometimes find with lesser brews. I was also really impressed by how quickly they get you poured and settled, even when the weekend crowd starts rolling in. read more

What a truly special place! As soon as I began to plan a trip to the Bay Area, I knew I had to check out Boochmania, which seems to be the only kombucha taproom in the entire region. This place is doing a lot in a small space! They brew their own kombucha and have a fairly extensive menu of Levantine cuisine with an emphasis on fermented foods such as a fermented hummus. They also have other fascinating ferments such as chicha morada (a fermented purple corn beverage). They are a family-run business that moved from Berkeley to San Francisco after the pandemic. Due to limited time in the area, I didn't have the chance to have a meal here but needed to try their kombucha. They are generous with the samples, so my friends and I tried everything and then sat down for some flights of kombucha. The flights are served in enormous glasses which we appreciated! We also really enjoyed the complimentary mixed nuts. What hospitality. Overall, the kombucha skews very mild in flavor. The boldest one was the currant clove, which was sweet and tasty. The rose and lavender and rose ones also had pleasant flavor. A lot of others such as the ginger sage were extremely mild. They are all very low in sugar and calories. I'm looking forward to making another trip here as soon as possible, so I can try the fermented hummus, the chicha morada, and whatever other concoctions they have at the moment! read more

This one came highly recommended by ChatGPT and boy! she was not wrong. What a find! The food was different (in a good way) and the hospitality of this family run joint was out of the world. This is Mediterranean/Levant food with a twist and some excellent kombucha to go with it. We tried the hummus, the quinoa plate with vegetables and the chicken burger with potatoes wedges. Everything was delicious and original. I am going to come back for more. read more

Amazing hidden gem! I had this place bookmarked on Yelp since a long time and finally had the chance to visit over the weekend. Loved the vibe of this cute place. They have several vegan options. Pretty much all the items are with fermented foods. We got fermented hummus, shakshuka, Kisir/Tabbouleh. The portion sizes are pretty good, although they are sizes, 3 of them were enough for the 2 people. The food came pretty quickly. Kombuchas are great too, esp the Currant Clove- it has hint of clove and very refreshing. The owner, Betul was super nice and friendly. All in all, a great place and looking forward to going back soon. We also tried a couple of different kombuchas which they are known for. read more

This is the cutest little cafe and lunch spot. The location is a bit random but trust me it's worth visiting. Excellent quality and flavor with attention to detail. The ambiance is warm and charming and timeless. I got a whole milk latte that was served with little cookies. I also got a quinoa bowl and added chicken. The name comes from their specialty making kombucha. I tried the unicorn tail which was light and refreshing and a beautiful luminous blue color from the Spirulina in it. Everything was delicious and the owners are charming people. I'm so happy to have Boochmania in the neighborhood. read more

The food was amazing and really flavorful. It is a small place but with tons of character that shows in the serene ambiance and delicious food. The food is made fresh and hence took a bit more time but it was totally worth it. The cuisine could be described as world fusion with little bit from several places like Asia, Europe and Africa(as well as some American influences). Loved the lentil wraps and chicken sandwich but my favorite was the Tofu Bulger bowl. Also tried their Kombucha ( pomegranate one) and it was delicious. read more

Everything we had was delicious and the server was wonderful. We could not have asked for more.

When we walked in it was skeptical that the food as other reviewers have said. But it's true. Best lentil veggie burger. Other dishes looked great too read more

I have some mixed feelings about writing this review because, on the one hand, I think Boochmania deserves all the hype, attention, love, and support but, on the other hand, the more popular it is, the more people I have to compete with for the delicious food and amazing service. But, alas, I would hate to see this place close earlier than it should and the un-Boochmania'ed, if you will, need the enlightenment, so I'm here to share my glowing review. Firstly, the ambiance of Boochmania is not something you'd expect to find in SF, let alone this rather sparse area of Yerba Buena. It's cozy and warm and charming. It feels almost like an escape from everything that's going on outside, a little oasis in the city. Secondly, the food. The food. It's like eating a mother's cooking but with a fun, fermented twist. Mezze Plate ($12): delicious medley of dips with several pieces of puffy pita bread! This was so delicious and nourishing. I loved every single dip but the fermented hummus and yogurt take my top spots for sure. Let me also say that I love it when a restaurant gives an EVEN number of bread. Like what the heck is a party of two going to do with an odd number of bread, fight to the death before the entrees come out??!? Bulgur Bowl ($16): a really good portion of bulgur and beautiful pan-fried vegetables. I personally prefer other grains over bulgur, but I still enjoyed this, and the vegetables really shined here. Quite literally, because it was golden hour and the sun was streaming in through the front window and the vegetables were vibrant and glimmering in a thin layer of oil. They were cooked just enough so that they still had a bit of snap and were perfectly salted. The blueberry dressing was beautiful and paired really well with the rest of the dish! No picture because we dug in without snapping a pic first :) Sliders + veggie side ($18 + $4): bomb dot com! Love that they have this on the menu so that you can try the vegan and meat burger option! Overall, I prefered the lamb slider a bit more. I really enjoyed the flavor of the lentil miso one, but the patty was a bit soft which didn't make for a ton of structural integrity. I'd still order the lentil one again, though! As for the lamb.. it was definitely some of the best I've had! Perfectly tender and rich. Slap on some onions, sauce and put it between a beautiful brioche bun and you're in for a great time. Again, the vegetables were amazing. But the pickles!!! Best pickles I've ever had!!! Mosaic Cake ($3.50): visually stunning but not my personal favorite dessert. It's like a really chewy and dense brownie with mix-ins. If that's your jam, this will be your jam. Kombucha ($5): delicious, light and refreshing. And fun flavors! I've gotten to sample them all -- shout out to the kind and generous staff -- and my standouts are Ginger Sage, Unicorn Tail and Persimmon Rose. Finally, let's talk about the service. This is Tokyo-level service y'all. They were so kind and patient while my friend and I tried all of their kombucha flavors. They surprised me at the beginning of the meal with complimentary fermented hummus and pita bread. They surpised me at the end of the meal with turkish coffee and the best turkish delights I've ever had (lots of bests here folks). Each one of the staff just gives off good vibes all around. It's like eating a mother's cooking in her family's inviting home. --- Well. This has been quite the lengthy review, so let me sum up some action items. Go support and enjoy Boochmania. Try the fermented hummus, yogurt, puffy pita bread, vegetables, burger of your choice/sliders if you can't choose, pickles, and kombucha. Ok, so basically anything on the menu. Also, their baked goods. But! If you see me through the window enjoying myself in my little oasis, maybe come back like an hour later ;) read more

We had this food catered and everyone was blown away. Funny name, but extremely good food.

Very quaint little Kombucha / Turkish café in SoMa. Lots of kombucha choices on tap and you can sample them. Plus a pretty solid lunch offering. Lentil Miso Burger Slider: A little mushy as far as burgers go. Like when you bite into the sandwich, the patty kinda splats to the sides. Pasty, but tasty. Might be better in a wrap form where it has fewer options to escape. Pulled Meat Burger Slider: Delicious lamb. Slow cooked tender, but also firm from maybe a quick sear. If I had known it'd be this good, I would have got the full sandwich. Smashed Potatoes: Not smashed really, more like quartered small potatoes that are baked with lots of herbs. Tasty, especially dipped in the yogurt sauce. Homemade Dip: This was fermented fennel that reminded me a lot of muhammara since it was red and I saw little walnut bits. Tasted great spooned on to the fresh baked crescent roll. Definitely motivation to try more of their dips. Pickles: A little sweet, which I don't usually like, but it was fine here since it tasted a little fermented too. Great to cleanse the palate between lamb bites. Currant Clove Kombucha: I'm not normally a kombucha fan, but I liked this. Had a subtle sweetness that was enhanced by the spices. Didn't taste too funky nor too sour. It was kinda like having a non-alcoholic artisanal Belgian beer, but better. read more

A hidden and nice little tiny cafe tucked in Soma SF near harrison and 3rd. I liked that they have so many vegetarian food options. We had lentil miso wrap and a platter. I tried it on a lunch date with a girl friend so those 2 dishes were enough for us. Their latte was also good. During lunch hours it wasnt crowded for a sit down meal. Many working professionals people came in for to go lunch. The cafe is very much suitable for a lazy afternoon reading with books and music. There were many servers but the service is a bit slower so a little patience goes a long way. Location is good to walk to but not convenient by public transport. read more

So stoked to leave a review for Boochmania. Come for the kombucha from Boochman Kombucha, stay for the amazing food :) The team here is the same team behind Boochman Kombucha, and they are so nice!! Made us feel at home, super welcoming environment and an amazing sunny little space :) We had the complimentary bread, the Shakshuka, Bulgur Bowl, and Lentil Miso Burger with a 12 oz of the Unicorn Tail kombucha. Everything was delicious -- I especially loved the combo of the shakshuka veggies with the bulgur and veggies in that bowl, flavor explosion. Unicorn Tail kombucha was also amazing. I've had Boochman Kombucha at the farmers market and have tried many flavors (the lavender and currant ones are also favorites of mine), but the Unicorn Tail flavor really takes the cake. We walked away with a second 12 oz to-go cup. WE WILL BE BACK, if not for the delicious and healthy food but for the amazing kombucha!!! Definitely come here and keep this outpost in business, they so deserve it!!! read more

This was my first time visit. Place had a quaint ambiance. Paper menu was on a board. We reviewed the choices and my friend and I ordered a wrap. I had the pulled lamb.

I will return to try their other items. read more

This place is something very special and absolutely divine. Everything is made with such care and heart. It's a family business, the sister works the front and her brother makes the food! They both took time to talk to us about the food and tell us how it was made and cooked! Their menu is brand new and we were the first to order the Lamb bowl. It was INCREDIBLE. Every bite felt nourishing and tasted delicious. The lamb was perfectly tender, and the bulgur was so flavorful. They serve it with an in-house cultured yogurt that was so thick and creamy, unlike anything I've ever had (you don't know what you're missing until you try it!). We also ordered the Mezze Plate which was a must try! Every appetizer on it was so extraordinary. Their homemade hummus was my absolute favorite; it is made with miso which gives it a lovely sweet flavor. There are 6 different dips to try, each one perfectly curated. They gave us a Turkish coffee to finish off our meal, another must try! It comes with Turkish delight for sweetness and WOW. My boyfriend doesn't drink coffee but he says it was the best he ever had and I must agree! Overall, it was an incredible dining experience, amazing service, and unmatched quality of food. You will leave feeling full yet light, comforted by a gourmet home cooked meal, and delighted by the quaintness of a family who wants to share their traditions with you. This place is going to be the next big thing & I can't wait for them to get the traction they really deserve. read more

Stumbled upon this gem! Service was outstanding, was surprised with a complimentary fresh hot pita + sun-dried tomato dip. While the lamb burger was steep in price ($18), the juicy meat topped with a sweet carmelized onion jam, arugula, and buttery brioche bun was a delicious bite. Definitely a smaller more intimate spot if you want to sit down! I loved the unicorn kombucha and would definitely come back to try the other hand-crafted flavors. read more

Amazing amazing amazing. I came here for a late lunch after a workout on a Saturday. We ordered the Lentil Miso, Fermented Hummus, and Turkish "eggless" Shakshuka, and we also sampled some kombucha and got the ginger one and the one called Unicorn Tail. We wondered if we should order another bowl, but we were kindly advised that we ordered enough food... which we really appreciated because he was absolutely right. We were both so full that we didn't need to eat dinner later haha. Everything we ordered tasted AMAZING. Wow, is this what real hummus is?! My standards for hummus has elevated. The hummus, pita bread that comes with the hummus, and shakshuka eaten together is a great combo. By the time we finished the hummus and shakshuka, I was starting to fill full, so I wasn't sure if I could finish my half of the Lentil Miso... but because it tasted so delicious, I gobbled it up. Wowowowowwwwwwww. This place is now one of my favorite places in SF! The service is fantastic. Cute place to catch up with a friend or to go on a date ;). I'll be back! read more

Amazing restaurant with absolutely delicious fare! We were walking around looking for a place to eat lunch and we stopped at this place. First the place is really charming with beautiful decor! We ordered their shakshuka + their own homemade yogurt for starters and then we had the kofte plate and the miso-lentil wrap for mains. Every dish knocked it out of the park! Food unlike anything we've had before. They've blended influences from around the world into turkish cuisine and they've done it so well. The kofte plate had a yummy bulgur serving, a chickpea+sundried tomato salad and a side of flavourful endives! And best koftes we've had! The wrap had these delicious lentil patties and was served with a side of vegetables, again with a super yum sauce. Their range of kombuchas go really well with their food. The chef came and chatted with us and he had the science about food and cooking so well figured out, it just explained why they served this scrumptious meal. An afternoon very well spent! read more

Food: Turkish-inspired menu with many different fermented ingredients. Good place to go for a healthy meal. I started with a complementary appetizer of bread with two dips. I then had my main course of sliders, one pork and one lentil. The lentil was slightly better but glad I was able to try both. I ordered potatoes with the sliders. The potatoes were well cooked and seasoned. Finished the meal with a Turkish coffee that came with 2 types of Turkish delights that were very good. I will definitely be going back. Service: the place is counter service with very friendly staff. I was given good suggestions for what to order and prompt attention all throughout. My water cup never emptied before they filled it up. Ambiance: 2 tables and some counters. Very nice plates and cups. Ambiance is good for what the place is: a lunch restaurant with healthy foods. read more
