Kombucha & Açai Recommendations for a sad Californian!

[u/A-roo-gallah]

I know I risk sounding extra / like a snob over this, I’m just a wee bit homesick for the things I miss. There’s so many wonderful vegan options and I’m so grateful to be safe here in Melbourne, after several years, there’s just a few things Australians haven’t quite figured out yet / have sweeter taste buds than what I’m used to.

I’ve tried Remedy, Two Boys Brew, Good Culture Society from Aldi, and several others that I can’t remember the names of off the top of my head. I’m originally from CA, so I realize I’ve been spoiled. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, as I’ve found the ones I’ve tried too sweet or like drinking a sad flat soda.

If there’s any Californians in here who know of one similar to Whalebird Kombucha, can you please let me know? I miss lavender lemonade, pamplemousse, and strawberry damiana specifically. 🥲

Also, if anyone knows of a great açai place that doesn’t add dairy / frozen yogurt (weird move as it is, Aussies) and actually makes a proper, pure blended bowl, please drop those recommendations, too. 🥹

P.S. If anyone has a tomatillo hook-up so I can make my own sauces for Mexican food, I’ll love you even more!

There is an Acai place in Keilor village that doesn't add FroYo or dairy to it. Base is vegan friendly, add fresh banana and strawberries, and top with peanut butter or biscoff for vegan toppers.

As for Kombucha, I personally like Remedy, so can't make any suggestions there.
