They have a huge selection of sodas from grape soda to cream sodas to some bizarre flavors such as mustard. They also have a large selection of candy varying from specialties from other countries (Japan, England, Canada) to hard to find and old time candy. It's definitely a fun little shop and worth checking out. The only negative I would have is that it is pricey, but still worth the visit every now and again.

Today I was showing my cousin around and we decided we wanted ice cream...and I wanted some bacon. Cute retro vibe establishment..its Saturday teh store is busy and it looks like there are only two ppl maning the store. One is scooping ice cream the other is making shakes and getting candy. I get in the candy line I'm next the very nice young lady takes my order...I ralize after getting it I want icecream...I ask her can I take the bacon and pay with the ice cream..she responded yes. While standing in the ice cream line I get a call from friends to meet for lunch...I tell my cousin..I'll get ice cream afterwards. To my surprise I see another young lady ringing folks up..I'm next. The young woamn names is Emma I found out later. Emma finishes ringing up the ladies ice cream , I step up..Emma looks at me...doesnt say a word..leaves to the back and open the fridge looks init..bends down as though she is hiding ..stand back up. ..closes the door ..mind you she pulls nothing out. Then she heads over to the ice cream counter and asks who is next. WHAT IN THE COW is going on?!!!!! A male customer waiting in line is watching the entire thing..he asks me.."do you want me to get her attention" I answer no thank you put the bacon on the counter and got my cousin to leave. I'm halfway down the street and said I'm going to address this blatant rudeness...or was she being something else? These are questions I have to ask myself when folks act out of character to me and not others. Went back in shop is now less crowded I asked the young lady that got my bacon where the manager is. She got Rachal on the phone. I took the call outside- told Rachal the entire story...she offered NO APOLOGIES..NO ICE CREAM , OR BACON or anything for that employee's bad behavior. All she did do was tell me how wonderful Emma is and that she is one of her best employees. At that point I knew nothing was going to be said or done or changed. As a matter of fact Rachal told me to tell her employee that her later. I politely declined ..I said I don't work for you...and If I say anything to the young woman ..she'll be in tears and leave. I've had my own business with 5 employees to deal with. Everything starts at the top. Emma felt compfortable doing that to me...cause she knew nothing would happen?! See sad thing is..cause there was no apology just praise for a job done HORRIBLY!!!! I get to write this REVIEW andtellmy truth. Then I get to tell everyone I know in NewBern ...then Iget to tell my customers who visit me at the New Bern Farmers Market when they ask for ice cream or an old retro vibe ice cream store...I can tell them definitely don't go there!!! Rachal and Emma do better..be better..act better...the world is diverse like it or not....I would love to hear from the owner..no not Rachal the half baked manager the owner. I'm ready to listen...or I can be Heard allover New Bern. Your choice.

Stopped by Golden Hex recently and enjoyed my visit!…read more Parking was very easy since there were plenty of spots right outside. The front doors were obscured so it almost looked closed, but luckily they swung open as I walked up to the entrance :) Inside, I was impressed by the huge selection of European wares, many of which I'd never seen before. I was intrigued by the zucchini spread but passed on it this visit. I also liked that all of the items had the country of origin listed with the price. I ended up only getting a package of pierogis for this visit, but I did check out the beer and wine section before I left. I wouldn't say the beer selection was huge, but there were quite a few interesting options that I think would be difficult to find anywhere else. There were lots of lagers, so if you're into that, Golden Hex may be your spot :) The cashier was polite and checked us out quickly. Overall, I liked Golden Hex and would definitely consider coming back to shop again.
