This is one of the most unique meals I've ever had. Oftentimes when presented with vegan or…read morevegetarian options I generally opt for something else but I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something new, and I was not only not disappointed, but incredibly pleasantly surprised. First of all, the staff and owner are incredibly nice. They made recommendations for our meal so we could have the best experience. It felt personal and you could feel the chef's love and care with each bite. The space itself is small but incredibly charming. From the paintings on the walls, brick wall, cozy lighting, beautiful mural, and comfortable open seating, it really set the stage for a wonderful meal. Fox Tale Fermentation Project also has plenty of rotating alcoholic and mocktail options which pair nicely with dishes! I ordered the Cali Classic Burger, and although the protein fell apart as soon as I took a bite, however, it was delicious. These flavors are so complex and funky that you can't help but take another bite. Generally, in non vegetarian dishes, the strong flavors of the meat/protein carries the dish, but in these dishes, the condiments, veggies, and fermented elements take your taste buds on a journey beyond the dish itself! The Fox Sando that my girlfriend ordered was also delicious. The toasted ciabatta was the star vessel for the rest of the ingredients. Perfectly toasted with slight hints of char, it really absorbed a lot of the sauces and spreads. I was lucky enough to take the second half of the sandwich home and eat it for breakfast the next day. I was so shocked when the sando itself held up in the fridge and was delicious cold! The flavors absorbed themselves into the bread but didn't make it soggy. I attribute this to the fact the ingredients didn't need to be heated up again to be tasty! Overall, I would absolutely recommend Fox Tale Fermentation Project for anyone who's looking for something different and unforgettable.

I recommend their cashew queso to all my lactose intolerant girlies. Also their beers and fermented goodies are so yummy! They have rotating specials depending on the season and each time I have a meal it's CHEFS KISS. but above all, the sense of community the owners staff bring everyday is admirable. San Jose is one infinitely better with Fox Tale in the neighborhood!

This is a great spot! I'm still working my way through the flight (second round) but so far all the beers are fantastic. I got a wide variety of beers from IPAs, to Porters, to Sours, to barrel aged imperial Stouts! All of them have been great with the Flying Fortress (WCIPA) and Beach Party (fruited sour) topping my interest. The imperial Stouts pack a punch as well! If you love beer like I do, definitely check'em out!

I walked in around 6:40 behind two other customers. They were served while I waited, and after a few minutes I was told they couldn't serve me a single pint because they were closing out tabs. The brewery was still open at the time, which made the interaction a bit confusing. Unfortunately that experience left me feeling unwelcome. The beer is decent, but the friendly service is what usually brought me back. I hope this was just an off day, but there are many breweries around where customers feel a bit more welcomed.

After a short wait on a Sunday afternoon, the bartender allowed us to taste a few beers on the menu that caught my eye.
