Soda Crazy — Restaurant in Layton

I still remember the day that Soda Crazy first opened across the street from where I currently work back in 2015. I have always been a die hard for Italian Ice so seeing that cute little shop made my heart skip a beat and my sweet tooth tingle! Russ and Shellie were always there to brighten the day even more with their genuine and kind demeanors. Ever since I could never imagine going any where else; not just because of their "OhMyGAWD Yummy!" Italian Ice or because of their dangerously addicting sugar cookies that I am still convinced were made by angels and unicorns, but because every time you go there you feel like you're a part of that family too. I don't even have to ask for the cute little gummy octopus on top any more, or even ask for "just the ice"~ It's those small things that remind me just how much love and care these two have put into their shop and all the people who go there.

Soda Crazy has me absolutely, unapologetically addicted!

Let’s start with the drinks—pure magic in a cup. Whether you’re going all in with the sugar rush or living that sugar-free life, every sip is a masterpiece. The combos are so good it’s like they bottled happiness, added a splash of caffeine, and said, “You’re welcome.”

Then there are the cookies… Oh, the cookies. Soft, chewy, perfectly sweet little miracles that somehow make you forget every diet you’ve ever claimed to be on. Pair that with their ice cream (which I’m convinced was churned by angels), and you’ve got a full-blown dessert party in your mouth.

And can we talk about the people? The staff and owner radiate pure joy. They don’t just hand you a drink—they hand you a mood boost, a laugh, and sometimes even a little therapy session through the drive-thru window.

Seriously, stop sleeping on this place—or actually, don’t. Keep snoozing so it’s not too crowded and I can keep pretending it’s my own personal soda sanctuary.

Soda Crazy, never change. You’re the plot twist my taste buds didn’t know they...

We decided to come to Soda Crazy to try out their frozen custard. We got the tigers blood Italian ice paired with vanilla custard (craze), as well as the coconut Italian ice paired with the pineapple dole custard (craze). The craze is basically an Italian ice flavor of your choice in between two layers of a custard of your choice. The store itself wasn’t open for dine in but the drive through was. We were even offered samples to taste, which was pretty cool. The vanilla custard was more delicious (in our opinion) than the pineapple. Vanilla is more of a neutral/safe option to pair with any flavor of Italian ice.

The custard was super creamy, almost like ice cream consistency/taste. If you’re sensitive to different textures and don’t think you’d enjoy the watery consistency of Italian ice paired with the thick, creamy texture of custard, you can always try something other than the craze. I would definitely recommend everyone to check...
