Your absolute go-to source for exotic and hard-to-find sodas and candies. Service is friendly, and they also have an interesting selection of drinks in their soda bar that can readily be turned into a shake or float. If you are feeling nostalgic for the old sugar bowl-type places, or if you just want to find some unique munchies or drinkies, then head on over! Plus, they also offer punch cards, with a free drink from the soda bar at the end. Summer fun ahead!
When they say they have 250+ sodas they weren't kidding. I was even more surprised as to how many soda's fit in such a small area.
The selection is wide and interesting (I'm a self proclaimed soda expert). I was happy to see that they have some Saranac Soda's which are from my home town of Utica, NY. Would like to see the Ginger Beer from them, but just because they didn't have that particular flavor DOESN'T hurt them at all. They really do have a great selection and is very well organized. The soda's are separated by "genre / style" and/or "brand" also the prices are clearly listed. The origin of the soda is also listed.
The Candy shop part of the store is also cool. They have bulk candies as well as individual candies. The selection is good and pretty diverse. I was happy with it, because I happen to like old fashioned candies. Would like to see more black licorice though.
The decor is nice and comfortable. Isn't trying to be cheesy and old fashioned with random oak barrels or anything for display. Its pretty modern looking and clean cut. There is a small "lounge" type of area if you just wanna drink a soda and read the paper or something.
The prices on the soda's range from $1.50 - 3, but generally the sodas are 2.50$ which is very reasonable.
Highly recommend this place if your an authentic soda lover.
I love this place!!! I'm an old cart, but the help here, who are young enough to be my kids, know as much as or more about the "retro" candies they have here. If you can't find it here, it isn't made any more. Will come back again and again!
