We found out about this place on Yelp and while were in town, decided to give it a try for their soda tasting.
Like the other reviewers mentioned, there is some initial awkwardness but it's quickly resolved by starting a conversation with the knowledgeable staff about what sodas to choose. I ended up with a pineapple soda, we also tried a cola he recommended and took another sasparilla to go.
For candy, they had it all, after seeing they had the violet mints, I picked myself up a few of those as well as some other candy from my childhood and some new twists- pop rocks gum?- for my daughter.
It was a super fun stop and if we lived in the area, we'd go back often for the tasting and then bring home some awesome sodas to enjoy at home.
