This is my first time in Utah and I know that this state is known for its cool soda bars, so of course I had to try. I got a build your own with sugar free monster, vanilla cream, Fresca, and raspberry puree. Wow! It was delicious. It certainly surprised me, especially considering the look of it not being that pretty. Service was great and quick, they have a self service ordering computer. Ambiance is quick and Togo, no seating. I'm glad I tried it! read more

Great prices and quick service! Loved my dirty drink and pretzel bites - both fresh! 4 stars cause the drinks should be a little cheaper.

I liked Thirst a lot more than I liked Swig. They give you free popcorn. There prices are a little lower. And they had beignets. read more

This was cool. I wish they had locations in the Bay Area where I am from. I had not heard of a dirty soda or a make-your-own-soda spot before I chanced upon this location. Super nice staff too. read more

At first, I thought the concept of dirty sodas was silly, but every time I've traveled and out of here for work, I end up stopping here for a smooth, classic and a pretzel cup. The girl behind the counter is extremely friendly each time I've been here. I look forward to making it a routine stop on my way back home. read more

Always love stopping by at Thirst! Great drinks, quick and friendly service! Was just disappointed that they were out of the 32 oz cups read more

Girl's road trip to enjoy some fall foliage and had to get in on the "soda wars" sitch in Utah. My friends had this dialed in, but this was my first go. Super glad we hit Thirst for my inaugural sip. I chose the Hissy Fit. Being a newbie I didn't have any clue what to expect. I thoroughly enjoyed it, although I might get it a little bit less sweet next time. But this is obvs personal preference. What brought this to next levs for me was the little baby bag of popcorn that they offer as a bonus. It was the perfect amount to scratch my salty sweet combo bite/sip itch. I'll be back next time I'm in town! read more

Came here to get a famous Utah dirty soda. I was super skeptical. My drink was less than $5, and surprised me in the best way! It was so good! I absolutely loved it and want to try to replicate it at home. read more

There is literally nothing better than the pretzel bites at Thirst. They're perfectly buttery, salted, gooey. Oh my goodness I crave their little pretzel bites on a regular basis. Get them salted and with their nacho cheese and you'll thank me later. They're fresh and hot and YUM! I'm not a huge dirty soda person and have always just gotten a regular Diet Coke or a boring soda when I come here. I recently got their Kick Back Rickey with Sprite, grape flavor shot, and lime and it was yummy and refreshing. I switched out the Sprite for Sprite Zero so it wasn't as sugar heavy. This location has a drive thru and no seating inside. The drive thru line is always fairly long but has moved quickly every time I've gone. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. Thirst, I love ya, keep doing what you're doing! read more

Nothing sums up Utah like a good old soda shop. Thirst happens to be my favorite. This location can get pretty busy but they move fast. This is my favorite little pick me up treat every once and a while. A Diet Coke with raspberry purée and vanilla cream is my go to. They also have a small selection of snacks. They have pretzel cups, cookies, and beignets. They sometimes have maple beignets which are SO GOOD. They're always so nice and this is definitely the perfect little pick me up. read more

Great place to get customized drinks. I had a sparkling water based one and my husband had a lemonade one. Not overly sweet and tastes great. Service was fast and friendly. The building inside was a little dirty and could use a fix up. read more

So So Good! We loved coming to thirst as a family and really enjoyed all of the things they had to offer

Came for the beignets which were good. Got the big box and half were powdered sugar and the other half cinnamon sugar. Came with honey, raspberry and chocolate syrup "drizzle" It was aight The beignets on their own were good enough no need for extra "drizzle" Idk but their menu board said they had a Nutella drizzle but that shiz was actually chocolate syrup. Not cool Other than that the service was friendly and the food was good! 5 stars minus 2! read more

I have been visiting Thirst for a few years now, and I always receive excellent service from Anna! She always offers me popcorn and is so sweet and friendly. When I don't know what I want, she gives me excellent recommendations. Give this girl a raise! read more

i went to the thirst location in bountiful not even 5 minutes ago and he didn't what i ordered right at all. i ordered a 16 oz cup of frozen strawberries. just strawberries. he filled the cup almost completely full of ice with not even enough strawberries to hide the ice. do better. all he had to do was scoop the strawberries read more

So thankful for Thirst for an incredible first time experience to Utah's best - the soda shop. As someone who has heard great legend of the soda shops of Utah, Thirst truly lived up to the hype. As a longtime fanatic of soda (if that's a thing), Thirst truly fulfilled all my greatest dreams. The menu is infinitely customizable. Whether you want to go fruity, go creamy, be quirky and use a tea base instead, they have it. Additionally, they also have a preset menu of their favorites, and I opted for the Johnny and June and added my own mango puree. I will say that I didn't really taste the mango purée but it might've just been all the flavors together. I really enjoyed my drink though, the tiger's blood addition to the sprite brought me back to elementary school sno cone days. They also provide free popcorn (it is really salty) which is the perfect pairing to the sweet soda. I will say the drinks were too sweet for some of my friends, but for me as someone who grew up drinking a lot of soda this place met my every desire. Also for customizing drinks, less is more! The employees were very friendly to any questions we had, but there's also a self serve kiosk inside to order through. read more

Apparently flavored soft drinks are all the rage in this area. Probably due to the disapproval of caffeine amongst the LDS people. There are competing businesses with similar themes. We picked Thirst based on Yelp reviews. Had a Coke Zero with a raspberry purée and it was quite large and filling. Daughters had a Coke with coconut cream and a Sprite flavored drink. Although sweet, we enjoyed them. We also had a couple of orders of Beignets with dustings of powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar along with honey and raspberry dipping sauces. Overall, very sweet items (not good for low carb diets) but a fun treat. Thanks Thirst! read more

The team is always so nice snd happy when I go, but this last time the team was still top notch but the drink was not... I decided to try something different and went with a large kick back Ricky- extra lime. They handed my pretzel bites and my drink. I looked at my drink and it looked.. slightly purple but not as dark as I thought it would be. I took a sip after already leaving the drive thru and was surprised it tasted like... sprite, just sprite. So I stirred it up a bit and got some more... sprite with lemon seeds. I was super disappointed. I was really looking forward to my drink! But all I got was a large sprite for 5-6$ ... I should've just gone to McDonald's. I think I would've paid a dollar or 2$ for the same thing. Pretzels were warm and delicious which totally saved my purchase. Still love you guys but next time just tell me your out of limes and grape... read more

Nothing to complain about, but only good things to say. I've been coming to this location since I was a college student so since about 2019. I've seen them grow, and see their menu grow as well. They have delicious drinks, and are open to making your own drink (which can get pricey so be mindful). They have delicious sweets as well. The service is great, the workers are always in a good mood, and seem happy to be there. There is usually a big line during busy evenings/nights. read more

This location needs an ac it was unbearable waiting in line for some pretzel cups. I can only imagine how the workers feel especially working in these conditions :/ do better read more

I ordered a 44 oz Pink Starbust and it was SO GOOD! It really did taste like pink starburst! I imagine if I had ordered full sugar it would have been even better! Sadly, I had to make mods because I am diabetic. I am so glad that Thirst has sugar free options because it is always a struggle to find a place with a decent variety of options! Originally this drink is a Sprite base with guava and the addition of strawberry and raspberry flavor, as well as vanilla cream. My version was with Sprite Zero and sugar free strawberry and sugar free raspberry, plus the guava and vanilla cream as is. I 100% recommend this drink! read more

Good drinks. I got the Johnny and June drink. It was good and mixed throughly. The drink didn't stand out above any other places comparable to Thirst. This was my first visit. We came on a Wednesday so we could try the beignets others were talking about. I had never had one so expected fluffy dough that was sweet. I did not eat them as soon as we got them, but ate them when we got home since they were so messy. Maybe they would've been better at Thirst in the parking lot. I thought I could taste the oil too much so did not like them. I also got the sugar cookie that people were saying was better than Swig. I did not like the sugar cookie either. The sugar cookie was very dry and crumbly. Swig, in my opinion, is much better. I probably won't be making the trip back to Thrist. One thing that I really did appreciate was how friendly the cashier was. She was very happy and enthusiastic. I wish the food would've been better so I could come back and support the great employees. read more

Service was really nice and friendly :) mind you me and my husband are from Washington so when we got to Utah we knew we had to go to a soda shop bc we don't have those here! We were really excited.

was cute but the soda was way too overly sweet to drink (maybe we are just not used to super flavored soda). they gave free popcorn with every order which was kinda salty but went well with the soda. read more

I love this place. I legitimately have driven 40 minutes out of my way for those delicious soft pretzels!! Their service is great and their drinks and treats are seriously amazing! I've used their catering for a church Christmas party and it was AWESOME!! And we are using them to cater our wedding coming up soon! If you are in need of a daily pick me up or a caterer don't look past here! You won't be disappointed!! read more

This place used to be great but it feels like its gone downhill over the past few months. Last two times my drinks tasted like they were watered down with sparking water. This last time they were out of their butterscotch bar, chocolate chip cookie and...Dr. Pepper? Thats like McDonalds being out of fries - what's the point? Usually the service is top notch but this last time it was a lot colder than usual. read more

I was lured to this place specifically because they offer beignets on Wednesday's and pretzel bites every day! These food items differentiate this place from all the other soda shops in Utah, so I thought it was worth a try. The pretzel bites are pretty damn good. They tasted relatively fresh and come in three different seasoning options with three different dipping sauces. #winning We tried all three flavors and dips and polished them off pretty quickly because they were so good. I loved the nacho sauce! It had a kick of spice and was the perfect nacho-cheese texture. The reason I can't give four or even five stars is because of the beignet order. You can imagine how disappointing it was to order four beignets and get three and...a third? (If that) The order is supposed to come with four beignets, so we were definitely shorted. I tried calling to ask if we could get our fourth and the person on the other line hung up on me... As for the three "beignets" we got to try, they are basically Utah-scones with powdered sugar on top so they're DELICIOUS!! If you're looking for the most authentic version of a beignet, look elsewhere. But if you want a scrumptious piece of fry-bread dusted with powdered sugar, plan on stopping by next Wednesday! read more

As a funfetti fanatic, I was a little skeptical when a friend told me a drink store was selling funfetti cookies that I needed to try. Man, sign me up for 100 more--besides maybe the cookies and creme option at Goodly Cookies, Thirst's funfetti cookie is the best cookie I've found in the Salt Lake Valley. Oh, and the drinks are great too. The Fresh Prince includes fresh fruit, not just some syrup or purée. This place kicks Swig and Sodalicious to the curb--I love it! read more

Current Review: Thirst won my heart again! I love the way that they reach out to the community and look for new ways to meet customer needs. Workers are friendly and they provided the yummiest treats. They have also increased their hustle and the line is moving much more quickly now. Past Review: Disappointed to say the least! I have come here for drinks and treats for quite some time. On my last visit, I waited in line for over twenty minutes. With that time, I could have gone to a grocery store and made my own drink. Then, I got to the window and went through four different items that were all sold out and they didn't have product available. So I had waited all of that time and not even received what I came for or anything close to it. Such a bummer! Take your business to anywhere Previous Reviews: Although they aren't the fastest service, they are the kindest and most sincere. They work with stellar accuracy to give you exactly what you want. The ice cream here is AMAZING!!! Fantastic people and yummy product read more

I'm not obsessed with sugary non-alcoholic drink concoctions like the flocks of Mormon moms needing a "swig" of their preference caffeinated soda, lined up in in their vans in the franchise counterpart of this establishment, but the drinks are a fun pick me up every now and then - especially in summertime. I am however obsessed with their pretzel bites and peanut butter bars. Remember the peanut butter bar cookies from old school elementary days? Well, they make them here and they are MONEY! They also sell the famed pink cookie which is also a yummy fun indulgence when craving a traditional sweet. read more

(Quick hack: order from Postmates during rush hour if you don't wanna wait in a long line. They're allowed to go inside and pick up ur drink) read more

I was visiting a friend in Salt Lake and she said we MUST go to Thirst. The concept of mixing a variety of flavors into soda isn't common where I live, so I was up for it. She suggested the drinks made with the purée vs syrup are superior. The girl taking the order asked what my usual drink was and made helpful suggestions from there. I chose the Dr. McCreamy, which is Dr Pepper, raspberry purée and coconut milk, I believe, and sheer heaven. SO good. We also got savory pretzel bites and the cream filled beignets. All were delicious, and now I know I MUST visit Thirst next time I'm in Salt Lake. read more

I kept seeing friends on social media post about getting beignets from Thirst on Wednesdays. I had been looking for an opportunity to be in Salt Lake on a Wednesday so I could finally try them. I'm so glad that I got there to try them! They were warm and fresh and very soft! I prefer a bit more powdered sugar on my beignets, but other than that they really were great. I absolutely loved the pretzel bites cup. I went with the Parmesan flavors and didn't order a dipping sauce. They definitely didn't need the sauce since they were so soft and buttery. As much as I enjoyed the beignets, my favorite thing I tried were these pretzel bites! Definitely kinda addicting! I was sad I didn't order more for myself. Also really liked that they have some free popcorn to me and all my kids! Give me something free and I'll keep coming back...even if it's only a small bag of popcorn! read more

These guys are the best. I love Ethan's enthusiasm and energy. This is the TOP drink place to go

WARNING!!! These beignets are dangerous!!! If you order these you WILL eat at least three.... if not more. Let me explain... * Being fried already gives them an delicious advantage, but they're also super LIGHT. Which means you can eat a whole bunch of them and not feel bad until about number 9. These are the Kristy Kreme donuts of the beignet world. * I honestly was surprised on how fluffy they were. You definitely showed me, thirst! And put me in my place! I'll be back for sure. * They're BEST fresh and only available on Wednesdays so make sure to add it to your weekly ritual read more

I only have 2 complaints about Thirst. First, they aren't open on Sundays. And 2, they don't have many locations. But Thirst has literally been worth any complaints! Out of all the Utah soda shops, Thirst is the only one I have found that has such a wide variety of items. Beignets, cinnamon pretzel bites, popcorn, cookies, and soooo many types of sodas. The line to order can sometimes be a little long due to popularity, but it's still pretty fast considering everything they offer and the high demand. read more

The beignets were all right I expected them to be really good but they were mediocre. They weren't bad they just didn't have a sweet flavor except for the powdered sugar. read more
