Visited today for lunch. Having the original Blockbuster. I wanted to say how great it was, but I have to say it was bitting into a memory. A memory of sandwiches my Nana would make us on Saturday's. I never really visited this place often but she would when it was actually a market. Maybe she copied them. Wow thank you Galco's. The Blockbuster is a great sandwich.
Saw this place on the Watcher YouTube channel and just had to visit as we were LA for a few days - it ended up being the highlight of our stay.
The store brought back so many memories from childhood - a warm nostalgic feeling upon seeing old toys and snacks.
The extensive selection of beverages is absolutely wonderful, and the option of making your own is an added bonus as someone whose favourite flavours are lavender, rose, and violet.
What a blast!
Galco is a wicked portal to the past. All the decor is themed with the 50s? Idk I’m not old. I don’t think it ever gets busy, but that gives you a lot of space to shop around. On the side, they have a good amount of candy but their main draw is their massive drink collection. They have a large soda collection of long lasting brands that you won’t be able to find anywhere else. Compared to rocket fizz, there’s less wacky drinks and more normal drinks that you don’t see in supermarkets. They also have alcohol and freshly made sandwiches, but they have very limited staff so you might have to wait.
