APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) — A new business specializing in handcrafted sodas has made its way to Appleton.
After opening on Friday, Soda Bar is the Fox Cities first customizable soda shop.
“We have all the different sodas from Pepsi and Coke, and we add syrups and cream to them,” said owner Brittney Anderson. “Some of our drinks have candy too, so they all have multiple different types of flavors.”
Anderson used to live in Arizona, and said soda shops there are plentiful. She then began experimenting with making her own soda creations at home before opening Soda Bar.
“Our most popular menu item would either be Dr. McDreamy, which is Dr. Pepper, strawberry, coconut, vanilla, and half and half,” said Anderson. “Or Surfer Dude, which is Mountain Dew, blue raspberry, fresh lime, and whipped cream.
Soda Bar is becoming popular already; their loyalty cups that were purchased with the intent of lasting a few months were sold out already after just two-and-a-half days.
The business also had to purchase a new ice machine that makes four times the amount of ice in order to keep up with their demand.
Soda Bar is open all year long. Currently there’s a walk-up window on the east side of the building, and a drive through on the west side. During the winter months, the walk-up will be converted into another drive-through lane.
Soda Bar is located at 134 E Northland Avenue in Appleton.
