My girlfriend and I were wanting some ice cream on a hot Friday afternoon, so she recommended we go here and get a root beer float. We walked into the store and it was quiet. No one in there besides the team member, my girlfriend, and myself. I was expecting there to be more people here since it was a Friday, but even though there weren't many people inside the store, it still felt like a happy environment. There are several different snacks, energy drinks, root beers, sodas, and candies to choose from. The interesting part about this store was that you can turn any drink into a float! You have the choice to add one or two scoops of ice cream to your float. I added two scoops of ice cream to my root beer of choice and it tasted delicious! It had great flavor, refreshing, and soothed my body temperature! Overall, I had a good experience. The root beer float definitely energized me to continue throughout my day! I'd definitely recommend anyone who's wanting a root beer float to come here! I'll definitely be returning to try their different root beers! read more

Mass Street Soda - Root Beer Float w/ Two Scoops of Ice Cream - Specialty Food Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

its soda's are amazing I love this place so much I think its cool that you can make your own float with your soda. YUM!!!!!!!!!

Really cool speciality soda shop on Mass Street. Mass Street Soda is large and has a ton of sodas and other carbonated beverages available. They are right next door to Sylas & Maddy's Ice Cream, so it's your one stop shop for your sugar fix. There were a ton of sodas, you can just spend some time reading all the bottles. They also offer the sodas in float versions if that's your jam. They had some on sale, and some which they warn you are terrible. I probably should have bought some of the terrible sodas (see picture) but we didn't. Prices are a bit high for a soda, but most of this stuff is rare, and rarity does not typically mean cheap. They also have retro candy (think Necco wafers and Abba Zabbas) in addition to more "normal" drinks. This place is fun to look around and even if you don't get anything it's worth 10 minutes of your time to stop in and look around. read more

Retro is a business, whether it's 'distressed furniture' or bell-bottom jeans, and Mass Street Soda is yanking at our childhood memories using our favorite fizzy drinks. Remember the good old days, when soda came in 12 oz. glass bottles, not these dinky, airline-sized 7.5 oz. cans varieties? Many of my hot summer days were slaked with a cold bottle of soda pop, even though we called just about anything carbonated a 'Coke' (southern thing). Leave it to a purveyor of sugar water to capitalize on my nostalgia. Mass Street Soda has recently moved back into a larger,remodeled space, now expanding their footprint along with their selection and offerings. Are you a root beer fan, like me? Yeah, this place is for us, as Mass Street Soda has about 12 linear shelf feet of root beer varieties from all over. There has to be 100+ root beer choices! I love the opportunity to try by the bottle (I do the same with actual beer) instead of by a multiple pack. Of course, if you love a certain variety, then you can pack up a cardboard carrier and make up a six-pack. I love Goose Island's root beer, and this visit had me opting for a natural brew from Maine and another from Washington state. So fun! What about fruit-flavored sodas, or colas, or craft soda? Yep, they're all here, and like the root beer, there are shelves upon shelves of bubbly stuff, both familiar and new. Do you have a favorite soda from yesteryear, like Moxie or BubbleUp? Maybe you liked a regionally available drink like Delaware Punch or Fitz's sodas? Chances are really good that you can find it here. Their approach even says that if there's a soda they don't have, then just let them know and they'll do their best to get it in stock. They even stock a bit of retro candy titles, and that's just another reason for me to go back. Prices run between $1.00-$2.50 for most bottles, though the average bottle has to be in the $1.95 neighborhood, so pricier than normal soda, but for retro favorites, craft varietals, or the hard-to-find, that's super-reasonable. My last six-pack ran me about $13 and I was able to sample five that I had never tried before. I'll be back for sure, not only to feed my sugar jones, but just because they really offer such a unique opportunity! read more

This is the place... for soda. I've been to a few soda shops before, but nothing like this! There are literally hundreds of choices. I love how they are organized by flavor. I zoned in on a root beer and had fun choosing from there. I ended up with an organic root beet from Maine. So, I felt healthy, while drinking soda. It's the same feeling that you get when you eat an organic doughnut from a fancy bakery. Next time I'm going for the mix & match six pack so I can try a few more flavors. read more

Everything and everyone is just as sweet and bubbly as their sodas here! I highly recommend getting a six pack or more, to save on your soda purchases! And, turning one or all of those into a float! So yum! read more

Mass Street Soda - Missouri original sodas! Too bad they got bought out :'( This place still had them though! - Specialty Food Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Do you like soda?? Just plain old-fashioned soda?? Then this is the place for you as there are many brands of every flavor you might like! It's really a fun place just to browse, but do grab some bottles to take home. It's all mix and match. Most of the sodas are $2.95 each but you save with Mix & Match Pricing... Buy 6 & save $1.50, Buy 12 & save $5.00, Buy 24 & save $12.00. It's a great deal if you like old-fashion soda or have under age beverage drinkers in the house and most of us do!! It's a great grandkid or little kid treat. Even better, take them to Mass Street Soda to pick there own or treat them to a float! The floats are large enough to share !! Another great taste treat that's offered , make a float with your favorite soda...1 dip, 2 dips, more? Just like the old days there's an old fashioned soda fountain inside this shop! read more

Mass Street Soda is a perfect mix of a throwback idea, a soda shop, blended with a modern twist. I'll admit it up front, I don't drink soda. I mean, I probably have less than one a year - My non-beer related beverages are water and black coffee.. pretty boring. I'm certainly not going to be the best judge of a soda, but that can't stop me from loving this idea and enjoying popping in here from time to time. They have every single damn soda you could ever imagine! They range from old school classics like Dr. Pepper in a glass bottle, a million root beers, cream sodas, all the classics. Then you venture over to a corner and find beef jerky and other wild flavors. When I was in they were doing root beer samples that were fantastic. The bottles are arranged like you'd find wine in a liquor store, by style and region, and even the staff picks...makes me think of that Seinfeld when Elaine falls for the kid based on his movie picks matching up with her tastes. In the unlikely instance that you don't find what you're looking for just tell the crew behind the bar and they'll likely find a way to get it for you. Very nice staff and a good energy throughout, and I've heard that they're going to be opening a second location near The Legends in KC before too long. read more

Our favorite place to get fun sodas! These "old fashioned" sodas make great gifts for birthdays or holidays. My father-in-law is obsessed with the root beer collection. Fun to try different flavors with friends and family! Definitely a place to frequent if you're a local, and a fun place to check out if you're visiting. read more

There's definitely some nostalgic charm about this place, and it's a fun stop for a family with kids. But there is an odd musty smell which was off-putting to me. Maybe it's not always like that? Anyways, they have an amazingly large collection of sodas--all the flavors you could ever want and more you would never want! Haha read more

Back in the 1970's there were places that sold Pop Shoppe soda around Kansas City. They were short stubby bottles with about a dozen flavors that you could mix and match in these red plastic cases that held 24 bottles and then you would return then for deposit. Mass Street Soda is the same as Pop Shoppe if you multiply the flavor selection by about a gazillion and eliminate the deposit concept. Oh, and add an instant chiller, and a fountain bar that serves floats. This place makes me very happy, it's a little pricey at $2 a bottle, but that just helps me be more finicky in selecting a 6 pack to go. I have my 6 pack chilling in the fridge for a taste test tomorrow, and can't wait to go back to Lawrence to try some more. read more

Mass Street Soda is the perfect spot for both the soda aficionado and the casual Mass St. walker alike. Especially as we head into the warmer months, it's important to stay hydrated and, more often than not, caffeinated. Mass Street Soda's more than got you covered. Never have I seen more sodas in one place at one time. I guarantee that you haven't heard of over 50% of the items they have on their shelves. Want that random durian-flavored soda you grabbed in Beijing 5 years ago? They've got it. Looking for the best chocolate flavored soda, just because you're tired of having caffeine and sweets separately? They've got that as well. They even have satirical sodas, for crying out loud--most notably, "Leninade" and Yacht Club's "Donald's Populist Punch." For a guy who's pretty low maintenance when it comes to sodas, I was quite awestruck and bedazzled by the repertoire of carbonation variation here, and it took me forever to pick the best one to try. Mass Street Soda may be on the southern end of what is notoriously "Mass St.," but don't let that deter you. Sometimes, it's nice to throw out a beer and throw in a rare, delicious soda once in awhile. Good luck finding any of the sodas you see here in store--you're better off coming back to Mass and stocking up, cause that's what I'll be doing. read more

I bought cute sodas for a gift for work. The variety of the sodas is amazing and the service staff is helpful in boxing up the bottles so they wouldn't break on my drive home. read more

I have never seen so many sodas in one place! Their prices are very reasonable, every soda there is $2 a pop, not being particular on others being more expensive. They have some sodas chilled, but they are able to quickly chill a soda for you if it's not available in there fridge case. Right now they are having seasonal drinks out for the holidays, they look like a lot of fun to drink! I created a four-pack as a gift for the holidays. Besides sodas, they have energy drinks, kombucha, and fruity drinks as well! Anything that fizzes!! Last but not least, you can create your own float or choose from their list of creations. I have tried one of their creations, a sweet looking and tasting float! Also the staff, I have been here three times and they have all been very friendly and helpful! read more

Mass Street Soda - My holiday soda selection! - Specialty Food Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Awesome store with literally all kinds of unique sodas from all over the country and the world. The staff are super friendly and knowledgable of what they carry in store. Most if not all the sodas are on shelves and are room temperature. You can get them chilled for additional charge. If you are thinking of taking it home to drink I would suggest skip chilling the bottles, but if you are drinking it right away on a hot day it may be a good idea. Definitely a unique store and worth your visit when you stop by Downtown Lawrence, Kansas. read more

Finding a good old fashioned soda store is becoming harder and harder so I was stoked to see one opposite the Granada where we worked on Monday night. Thirty second walk down mass and was greeted by a really nice staff member who was eager to help me out. Of course I told her to leave me be so I could walk around and check everything out but eventually I called her back for recommendations. I told her straight up I don't do high fructose corn syrup and what I liked and she helped me pick out 3 root beers and 2 cream sodas. I still have 3 set aside for the remainder of the week but 2 in and I'm super stoked! read more

Like a kid in a candy store. This is an AMAZING store. I love going here and just browsing the rows and rows of colorful bottles. I am overwhelmed by the stock they have in this quaint little store. Who would've thunk that a store would have soda or "coke" (as we call every carbonated beverage in the South). I have been able to find a southern favorite in this store- Peach Nehi in a bottle. This drink does not taste the same in the can... honestly, no drink tastes the same in the can. Also, I've been able to find gifts for people that delight them. One associate of mine was looking for a Harry Potter-type drink that I knew nothing about. I found it in this store and my friend was delighted. Such joy! The staff is always helpful and nice. There is no way you can be in a bad mood in this happy store. This store will give you a nice walk down memory lane and make your tastebuds happy at the same time. It is one of the reasons I love LFK. read more

The cutest little place, I adore going here and to the KC Soda Shop! They've got the coolest snacks too

I went in hoping to find stevia sweetened soda. Nope. They don't have any you can't get in the regular grocery store. They have Splenda, but that's not my jam. HOWEVER, if you just want a non-niche soda. Possibly one even sweetened with . . . SUGAR . . . *gasp* this spot is your jam. read more

Unique, fun stop with friendly staff!! Stopped after lunch before continuing on our road trip and was not disappointed. Soda as far as the eye can see! So many choices... pick by flavor? by color? by the funny labels? I chose all of the above. $2 per bottle or $22 for 12 pack, picked by the bottle. read more

I would definitely call before going!! Because I looked at their website and it showed they were open until 8pm , I got there at about 5:30 and they were closed!! No sign on the door saying anything about closing early and the sign in the window clearly showed that they were supposed to be open until 8!! Kinda bummed because I drove over 30 minutes to get there!! read more

Super fun to go there! It's kind of old timey as you would expect. The variety of Ice cream is wide and very delicious.

I'd be here every week if I lived in town. I've tried most of the common, national brands of ginger beer, and they had half a dozen I'd never heard of. The shelf of curiosities is fun (teriyaki soda?!) but I'd probably spend a while working through every brand of ginger ale, root beer, and birch beer first. It looks like they usually have three or four specialty floats that they can serve you at the small counter. They've got a shelf of diet sodas in the back but it just feels wrong to buy diet at a place like this. Note that they're currently at a temporary location down the street while they remodel -- check their website. read more

Mass St. Soda has quickly become my favorite place in Lawrence. The customer service is exceptional and so is their selection of fizzy beverages. I only wish they had more events, like a game night or tasting nights. Their social media is always updated with the newest information so it a great way to find out what's going on but an email list or VIP club would also allow us the ability to taste more and find other great options to fall in love with. You can't go wrong with paying this shop a visit. read more

While I can't quite get my head around WHY this place exists, I'm sure glad it does. I question how much demand there is for an artisanal soda store, but so long as they're paying the rent, more power to them. This place is cool and I'm glad it's there. I was in Lawrence for meetings, but also wanted to explore the city. It was a hot day and I was stuck in big-boy clothes (ie long pants and not my typical business jorts), and I needed a refreshment. Since I still had meetings and a drive back to KC, I figured a beer was out of the question. Instead, I went to Mass Street Soda and got myself a root beer! People will tell you this place has a lot of variety. That won't prepare you for the awesomeness of their selection. Arranged in flavors, it's difficult nonetheless to make a selection. How do I pick the perfect root beer from their inventory of approximately 8 million? Ultimately I gave up, asked for a recommendation and sat down at the bar. While typically they can flash-chill your soda in a matter of minutes, they actually had this variety in a cooler. The friendly store-keep swapped me out for a cold one and I sat down and chatted him up. He was quite knowledgeable about what they served and Lawrence in general. So yeah, if you're craving some sort of small-batch or regional soda, this place has you covered. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Thousands of varieties of soda from all over the world can be found here! I had a great time with my friends looking at exotic flavors (lemon nutmug soda? Neato!) and the bottle art. They have a pre-chilled selection in a fridge, or a machine to chill any soda you choose. The sodas are $2 a bottle currently, and they have cute stamped cardboard cases for purchases of multiple sodas. It's a really great store and perfect for Mass. street. I'll definitely be heading back! read more

This place is fantastic! Went last week with my family. They've been before, my first visit. There are hundreds of flavors from colas and root beers, fruit flavors and bizarre flavors. There's even a gross flavor section. Most sodas are made with real sugar and limited artificial enhancements. Any bottle can be instantly chilled or turned into a float. I can't wait to go back and get another six-pack. read more

Mass Street Soda is a magical wonderland with wall-to-wall soda from all over the U.S. and a few other countries. Imagine a liquor store but with soda. This place is that! If you think all root beers taste the same, Mass Street Soda will prove you wrong. Same thing with cola, cream soda, and anything else you can imagine. I always try new things there and 95% of the time I'm happy with my choice. (It's not their fault if I chose a soda I didn't like!) Every soda has a flat price of $2, save for a select few. You can get discounts if you get more. The staff can chill your sodas and make them into floats. It's a cool little place and I always see people in there. I'm so happy this place is doing well! They deserve all the business they get and more. This place inspired me to collect soda bottle caps--one day I'll have enough to make a coffee table top. I hear they're aiming to do the same to their little bar area. Staff is super neat and knowledgable (however way you can be knowledgeable about soda!!) and they have a shelf reserved for their recommendations. Go in and at least take a look--it's hard to leave empty-handed. read more

My partner and I stopped in here for the first time on Saturday night and were totally blown away by the selection. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly and they have more sodas than I could ever imagine. I'm totally in love with Frostie's rootbeer, which was recommended to me by another customer. They also have the capability to chill any soda in under 2 minutes and will make an ice cream float right there at their soda counter. Can't wait to go back! read more
