Swig is an "upscale" soda joint with a few extras. My first two visits during their Grand opening days went really well and we enjoyed the soda & sparkling water option they had, which was free during those days. Plus they handed out free cookies. The cookies remind me of chewy chips ahoy, but better quality. I don't think I would get them if they hadn't been gifted as part of the grand opening day though, but can see there being a market for it.
Unfortunately, now we've given it a bit and came during a more regular time ... line management wasn't as good. A 16oz drink can easily rack up to the $4-5 mark depending on what you would like to add. $2 for the base drink, .40 per flavor, .70 for things like pearls or creams. My 8 year ordered a small sparkling water with two shots of flavor, strawberry pearls & gummy sharks and it came out to just over $5 after we added a tip. His drink came out wrong, and when they fixed it he didn't get many pearls and only one gummy shark that they just stuck on top of his lid. Luckily, they had a promo for another free order of cookies that helped soften the blow of the cost/mishaps. I think it would help for them to take mobile orders or let us do walk in orders like other locations. Though it's not 100% when they will switch from the drive thru only. After, this visit we may just stick to other places for our drink stops because there is more affordable places to go, at minimum ones that offer specials that make it more affordable. read more
