Ferm Fresh
If you’re in Terre Haute and on the lookout for a cozy spot to unwind, look no further than Ferm Fresh—a delightful fermentation bar that promises not only refreshing drinks but also a welcoming atmosphere that draws in both locals and visitors alike. Nestled on Poplar Street, this café focuses on offering an impressive variety of kombucha, probiotic smoothies, and shrubs, all crafted with care and passion.
At Ferm Fresh, the heart of the menu revolves around their handcrafted kombucha, which has won the hearts of many. You can start your journey with a flight of kombucha on tap, allowing you to sample an array of flavors for just $10. Standout varieties like the delightful Blood Orange Basil and the invigorating Mean Green have been lauded by guests who appreciate the complex tastes and health benefits packed into each sip. For the adventurous, their 16 oz. pint of kombucha is available for $6, while growler fills provide a perfect way to take the experience home.
Not to be overshadowed, Ferm Fresh also excels in probiotic smoothies. Their Cherries & Berries blend bursts with the flavors of tart and sweet cherries, blueberries, strawberries, and bananas, all harmonized with kefir and kombucha for a refreshing treat at just $8. Or try the Green Machine, a vibrant concoction of spinach, pineapple, strawberries, and banana that fuels your day with healthy goodness.
The café doesn’t stop there; they offer handcrafted shrubs—an innovative and refreshing tonic made by combining exclusive kombucha vinegar with fresh fruit syrups, topped off with sparkling water. Each 16 oz. shrub is priced at $7 and comes in 7 rotating flavors, making it a delightful way to stay hydrated while indulging in something a little different.
The atmosphere at Ferm Fresh is equally inviting.
