2391 Pleasant Hill Rd, Pleasant Hill
Siren’s Sandwich Shop opened a few months ago in Pleasant Hill with a healthy twist: A juice bar featuring kombucha on tap. Check out their menu here. I tried the chicken vegetable with orzo pasta soup and it was delicious! The kombucha juice bar confused me as in my mind kombucha goes with yoga not a sandwich joint. It turns out the owner is a huge kombucha fan and so two flavors are available on tap. I’ve tried kombucha in glass bottles before and found the taste to be too vinegary so when I was offered a sample I was a bit leery. I tried watermelon basil and grapefruit sage and it was surprisingly good without the vinegar taste. I’ll be back for more.
As for the firehouse motif, it turns out the owner’s husband is an actual fire captain with the Pleasant Hill fire department and sure enough, as I was leaving they entered the shop to get a bite to eat. Check out the photos after the jump to see the old style fire alarms that you can actually ring. Another nice touch is a red, white and blue fire hose shaped into an American flag. Appropriately, a giant fire truck was parked in the back of the parking lot.
