Soda Pops - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bryson City, North Carolina

Cash only!!! Just wanted to give you a head up! Soda Pops is a cute walk back in time. The ice cream is delicious. We just didn't pay attention. We ordered an ice cream, realized it was cash only, then my husband had to walk a couple blocks to an ATM while only my son had ice cream. Then the rest of us ordered when my husband got back. They had a steady stream of groups and families. We still had a nice time. read more

A very nostalgic style ice cream shop serving what else......ice cream. Just a fun shop in a great little town near the. Smoky Mountains. read more

Cute shop with good ice cream. Be aware that they are a cash only business. Unfortunately, the only sign is by the register and not on the door or near the counter to order. It was pretty embarrassing. read more

We stopped here for ice cream one night. I ordered a strawberry milkshake, and it was pretty good. They use Blue Bell ice cream, so that automatically makes it good. FYI, this place is cash only, and they don't have an ATM onsite. There is one down the street. It kind of sucks because they don't have that posted on the door, and the only signage is when you go to pay (after they've given you the ice cream). Also, they didn't have their hours posted on the door which was a little confusing too. Overall, this is a good place to get ice cream! read more

They need a sign on the door that says cash only! Adorable decor and friendly service, though.

Don't go here. The customer service was 0/10. Not friendly at all. In fact, the girl essentially stole from us. She shorted us $6 in change and I had to explain to her how math works. She said "well how much do I owe you then" You're the one at the register.. I also looked at the board and a single cone was clearly $4.50 and she charged $6. Not sure if she's doing it on purpose and pocketing it but it certainly felt scummy. read more

Great local place to visit while in Bryson City. So many flavors to choose from. Then there are shakes, malts, sundaes, etc... Friendly staff. Very clean inside the restaurant. I highly recommend. read more

What a great place! We stopped in for a double scoop Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream and ate it on some nice red rocking chairs out front while listening to some 50's music on the speakers. It doesn't get any better than that! read more

high corn syrup, and all their ice cream. no bathrooms for anyone kids had to go and have to walk .5 miles. never will go there again.

Great service and yummy ice cream! Reasonably priced compared to others in the area. Plus super cute atmosphere!

Quick friendly service. Ice cream was yummy. They have a lovely sugar free option as well!

So I'm on vacation in Bryson City, and my cousins INSISTED that we go to Soda Pops because it has "the best ice cream in town" and let me tell you they were not wrong. The place was soooooo cute and felt so homey. I got a chocolate dipped waffle cone with strawberry and peach ice cream, and it was delicious. I loveeeeeee strawberry ice cream, it's my absolute favorite, so I was very happy. Def coming back whenever I'm in town again. read more

It was hot outside and I needed something to cool me down, pronto! I was walking past Soda Pop's and saw ice cream shakes advertised as well as ice cream cones! My son and I went inside and were waited on quickly. The young man behind the counter was polite and must have seen sweat dripping off my brow because I had a huge ice cream cone ready for consumption in a second. The store was cool, the ice cream colder and the owner was friendly. My son and I definitely enjoyed this stop on our trip. read more

We stopped here for ice cream while in town. Such a cute little shop! They ice cream soda, hard ice cream, homemade flavored soft serve. It has a cute 50s soda shop vibe. Lots of memorabilia. I had an orange soda and it was delicious but huge! I had the small and it was two scoops of ice cream and a giant cup of orange flavored soda. The service was quick and most people were taking it to go like us but there are booths there for you to sit and enjoy. The staff are.fast, friendly and helpful. Explained all the options and were friendly. Parking is street which can be limited in the summer. read more

Excellent service with amazing icecream. There is a no sugar added vanilla that my dad swore was the best no sugar added or sugar free he has ever had. It's not a statement he throws around casually. I can say the same with the ice cream I had. read more

The ice cream is of good quality, but the customer service was horrible. We met three other couples for an evening dessert. It was an hour before closing, and the manager/owner started putting chairs on the tables and began cleaning up. He wanted to sweep under our tables, so we packed up our shakes and went outside and sat on the benches. After 5 minutes, the owner came out with his gas-powered leaf blower and started blowing straw and other garbage out into the street. Again, the food was quality, but the customer service was horrible. read more

This is a cute little ice cream store right downtown in Bryson City, an easy walk for a snack after a train ride. If you're used to some of the modern ice cream stores with 31+ flavors, this is NOT that experience. If you've ever watched the "soup nazi" episode of Seinfeld, you can think of the proprietor as the "ice cream nazi". Don't bother asking for a taste since they don't do that. Sure, he said they were "out of tasting spoons", but given how long they've been out its a fair bet he just doesn't want to give tastes. To be fair, given the limited selection, if you're not sure what strawberry ice cream tastes like then a small taste isn't going to help. There's only a few flavors so it shouldn't take any time to choose between the normal ice cream flavors you've had thousands of time. Note this is a cash only establishment, and we were $2 short, and he gave us the ice cream anyway, which was pretty nice. Not as nice as signing up for a Square account and taking cards like the rest of the retail world, but still a nice gesture. I'm not sure why places that are cash only don't at least put out a sign on this day an age. read more

Love this place right in the heart of Bryson City, NC. It has the total old school ice cream parlor feel. They just moved about 100' from their old spot, still has the same street parking. Family owned, just like the way it used to be. Prices are average, but they serve Blue Bell ice cream so it's worth it. They have ALL the ice cream parlor favorites. You won't be disappointed. read more

The worst and unfriendliest service in town. Getting ice cream should not be a negative experience. It's a shop that looks cute, but it is sadly just a tourist trap with grocery store ice cream. There is a kid (boy with very dark hair) that is very rude, arrogant and obnoxious. This store does not give samples and could care less if you are a satisfied customer. They will tell you there are no "sample spoons" but there are at least 100 small spoons there on the counter. Rather than give a tiny sample, they give up the sale. No tiny taste to see if the customer likes the ice cream ?? So cheap and such bad service. It is so bad that a place like this can represent what is otherwise a friendly town. There are multiple bad reviews and now I saw it for myself - even little children were not able to get a small sample. Go to Chocolate Shoppe across the street for nice service and high quality ice cream. It's where locals go. read more

Old school ice cream parlor. You can get malts and floats! Hand dipped ice cream. Coke in returnable bottle too. Cash only. But worth a stop after dinner read more

Good ice cream but they are cash only. Unfortunately, we didn't see that anywhere on their website and it was not posted in the store. They were kind enough to trust us to run to the ATM after we ate our ice cream. read more

Great after dinner stop with the date or kids. Simple place with great decor. They can mix your flavors if you like in this cool mixing machine. Super nice people working there as well. read more

Soda Pops - Outside sign - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bryson City, North Carolina

Remarkably rude staff. No greeting, no smile. Just a hard stare. Girl behind counter refused to speak loud enough to hear. And they don't bother to tell you it's cash only until after you've ordered. Ice cream was good but not worth the terrible customer service. read more

Flavor selection was fine, though limited. They only take cash, which is absurd when a family of five runs well over $25. But really the clincher was the rude guy who served us. Didn't make us feel welcome at all, balked at giving my kid a styrofoam cup after she already bought a pricey waffle cone, and wouldn't let my wife use the restroom. There are other options just down the street ... give your money to someone who treats you more like a human being. read more

Owner Paul Crawley is the best! He'll always greet you with a smile and cheerful hello! The ice cream is great and the atmosphere is wonderful. A must stop in Bryson City, NC, the Heart of the Smoky Mountains! read more

Prices are pretty high for what you get on most things. The small soda at $0.75 was a pretty good deal. My sisters got the sodas (just regular fountain soda), and I got a root beer float. The float was good, but sadly, I've had better from other places for a much better price (Stewart's in NY state, for example). The root beer they used was Barq's, and the ice cream was Mayfield. The cups were styrofoam. I'm setting you up for the next paragraph... They have some neat stuff on the walls, but what really makes this place falter in my ratings is the price for what you get. None of it is homemade or anything. Four dollars for an ice cream float (Barq's + Mayfield vanilla)? Four dollars for a smoothie (I pray the fruit is fresh, but probably isn't)? Four dollars for an ice cream (Mayfield, which costs $4 a gallon in the grocery store)? Huh? I should have read previous reviews about costs. I mainly went because I though it had a cool name. Won't come here again. Won't recommend it. I feel stupid because Ingles is just down the road, and I could have picked up a case of root beer for the price I paid. read more

Go here every time I come to Bryson City (it's become a great tradition). Great custom blends, and my favorite is cookie dough. Fair warning: they don't accept cards so bring cash. read more

creamy icecream, delicious and smooth ice cream sodas (like soft serve) to indulge in more unique options, good variety and capabilities... all good! Cash only - keep it in mind. read more

Love this place. The service is fast. And the owner is wonderful. He treats his employees very well. And they have a large variety to choose from. You can eat your ice cream outside and chairs or a bench and it is decorated very nice inside. read more

Cute ice cream shop the service was not very friendly. We ordered a double scoop and were splitting it between two kids and they charged us for two singles. Should specify a splitting charge. I'd rather spend my money somewhere else. Ordered a custom blended flavor which was not specified as extra on their menu and was upcharged $2 on top of a single scoop priced. I just like up front honesty and transparency. When questioning the man about it he wasn't very friendly about it and I felt like my question on why a double scoop and single scoop was over $10 wasn't a ridiculous one since based on the menu it should been maybe $8 with tax. read more

Quaint little old fashioned soda shop. Tried a malt for the first time and it was fantastic! Definitely recommended!

We wandered in here looking for a bathroom recently as vacationers. I ordered a chocolate malt before I realized there wasn't a public restroom but holy wow, am I glad that I did. It was easily one of the best malts I've ever had. The proprietor was super friendly and the shop itself is really cute. If I hadn't sworn off my Coke addiction in the last year, I would have been ordering lots more. I didn't find the prices to be outrageous like some of the other reviewers. They seem on par with any cafe I've gone to in the last year. Most places have raised prices incrementally on any dairy as the price of milk went up in the past few years so it makes sense to me that a milkshke would run around $4. read more

The website (http://sodapopsicecream.com/) says they have "Old Fashioned Fountain Drinks". We drove out of our way to go there for the experience. Was pretty disappointed when we got there and they directed us to Coca-Cola bottles in the cooler. The employees did not even know there was a website for the store! I will happily take this review downing this is not the same store. read more

As hurricane evacuees, we were opened with welcome arms to spend the day in this lovely ice cream shop where we were able to catch up on some school work. We were so grateful to the owner for his hospitality and also very yummy ice cream!! We will be back for sure. read more

What an amazing place. Like stepping back in time. Service was amazing and ice cream was delicious. I really liked the personal attention the owner gave us. Three of us got shakes and they were great (two mint chocolate chip and one extreme moose tracks). I love that he makes them with old time machine. One got the ice cream with toppings mixed in. Really cool mixing machine. We will be here about five days and will be back every day!!! read more

Other than the atmosphere this place isn't anything special. The ice cream is a commercial brand and taste freezer burn. Could be so much more if they made their own or sold local vendors who made their own. And pricey for commercial ice cream. read more

Cute decor and has potential, unfortunately overpriced and rude staff. Asked if my son could sample a flavor and was told "we're out of sample spoons." So asked if we prepurchase can he sample with a regular spoon. Nope "we can't give samples." Spend your money elsewhere! There are plenty of much better options just down the street. read more

Great decorations, but EXPENSIVE! $2 for 6 oz coke, $3 small ice cream, .25 for water. The exterior sucked me in and then prices suck money out of my pocket. It was like witches house in Hinsel and Gretal. Wouldn't let myself go back the prices were too painful. read more

Delicious ice cream in a cute town! Nice owner. I had the blended ice cream and highly recommend!
