I’ve noticed The Soda Shop next-door to Fatcats and wondered what they have on their menu but I haven’t stopped by until today. I’ve seen soda places pop up around Gilbert lately and was curious what makes them so special so when I walked in today I was pleasantly surprised to find that the menu includes variations on literally my favorite soda ever: Dr Pepper. The cashier (adorably perky) talked me into ordering the Spring Fling, which includes Dr Pepper, vanilla, strawberry purée, and coconut cream. I am rarely ever the type of person who would stop to get a beverage at a place that doesn’t have a drive-thru and yet...am I in love with soda again?! My family is familiar with my obsession with Dr Pepper. I used to be paid to babysit my younger siblings with Dr Pepper and Doritos 😂 Lately it’s super rare for me to drink soda because I feel like 30-something’s are all about their lemon waters but OMG I LOVED THE SPRING FLING. I am mentally calculating whom I should initiate into the Soda Shop family next 🥰 Also, I got a sugar cookie with a swipe of pinkish frosting on top and thought “this cookie is for two people, maybe this would be a cute date spot before a movie at Fatcats?” I thought it was off (at first) that the cookie came out cold when it was handed over, but by the time I put my soda down and bit into it, the cookie was perfect room temperature and actually pretty delicious. Despite the frosting it doesn’t leave your teeth hurting from the sugar, it’s actually a yum complement to the fresh cookie. 10/10
