This spot was awesome, with unique drinks and snacks to try! The owner was great--he shared his story with me, introduced me to his dog, and had a large selection of interesting snacks etc... Highly recommend for the great service and fun finds! read more

See all

Smelled like weed inside. Poor customer service. Cursed out a kid for not having correct change.

This guy is a joke he is rude, and his products are over priced. Not a good place. The way he pushes the energy drinks is ridiculous.

Unique little spot. I actually tried to come here like a year ago but couldn't find it and wasn't feeling patient so I drove off haha. Had better directions this time from Google maps I think. This place is small and was filled with boxes when I went so they must've had some new products in. They are pretty pricey, you can get cheaper unique snacks from places like Cutie. My husband likes hi chews so I got him a new flavor to try and also got a flavor mixed warhead taffy for us to try. Also I was greeted by an adorable dog here. Worth checking out but be ready to spend a lil. read more

Pop’s Exotic Sodas & Snacks - two of the flavors - Beverage Store Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Came to the store last week to try and find a few specific items. Was not impressed with the cleanliness of the store. Asked for some help and the clerk was extremely rude and not helpful. Do not recommend. read more

I've seen Pop's on social media for some time, but just recently made it to the store myself. It's exactly as presented on TikTok! It's a small store with a changing variety of goods. We had some kids with us and they had a blast checking everything out. Cookie the dog stayed out of the way but enjoyed some pets. Pop let us know when we picked anything with an especially high price, and that if there was anything we were looking for specifically, let him know and he'd try to get it in. Fun shop to browse and some nostalgic items. I got an Idaho Spud candy bar, which I'd loved on a trip to Idaho as a kid. As an adult, not so much! Ha! But was fun to try again. read more

EVERYTHING IS AMAZING The owner is super nice he is so friendly! If I have time I'll come here and check out what snacks are here today!

This snack store exceeded my expectations! It's perfect for adventurous eaters, including amateurs like me. The owner's friendly dog elevated my enjoyment of picking out new sodas and chocolates to try. Highly recommended!!! read more

First thought walking in was how much of a mess it was. 5 boxes open on the floor while the cashier was watching a movie. I took my young kids in and the movie was loud saying pussy and other derogatory words. Not a single item in the store was marked with a price and some items were expensive like $15 for a drink. If theyre going to be that much label them. I tried to be friendly with the dog in the store and it wanted nothing to do with me which is fine but he was on guard. One of my kids thought the office was an extension of the store and started to go in and the dog growled at him. Sorry but my kids have been attacked by dogs before and this pissed me off bad. I will never return to this store. Tried to bring all of these issues up to the owner but he didn't care. read more

$18 for 3 bags of chips store down the street sells the same exact ones for half the price. Overall just a bad vibe starting from the moment we walked in. read more

Don't let the previous reviews stray you away. Recognize your environment and where you are coming to shop. Yes. People may have different backgrounds and you may perceive their presence as off putting. I get it. My friend who I brought felt the same way but after rationally thinking it thru, they were the ones with the negative connotation from the start. Been to pops twice now. Small shop. But welcoming in the same. Check out his Instagram, lots of cool things features and a nice way to stay up to date on things he is getting in. On my first visit I was told, "if there's anything out there you want and can't find, let me know and we will try to get it in". This is why this business should be getting a better rap than what some are posting. Drop your guard and just be human. Strike up a conversation. You will be surprised what you find in shop, and in other people Prices are awesome too. Thought I would have spent way more than initially expected walking in read more

A worker was kinda rude I felt unwelcomed and I wanted a recommendation but all I was told was "I don't know we have a lot of stuff", I would come back but definitely would need more money next time because it's very pricey in my opinion but I would definitely have staff wearing a mask and cleaning up too. Maybe they should start a rewards card or something read more

You have to check this place out. So many fun things to try. Not the greatest location but totally worth it. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My kids love to try different things from the shop. read more

Incredibly rude to customers. Would have given zero stars if I could. Don't ship here, support another small business instead!!

I went in today and the shop touched on all trending Japanese snacks and drinks! Reasonable prices NOT EXPENSIVE... got a rude awakening when I went to their competitor, desert snacks and drinks where they sell a soda from $12-$15 bucks... most drinks at Pops are $5 bucks. I'll be a regular. Owner is cool and informative and mentioned he's always looking for the latest snack and to let him know if I see something that he doesn't have he'll definitely try and get it. Won me as a customer. Give this spot a try! read more

Pop’s Exotic Sodas & Snacks - Japanese mixed grape soda. Matcha Kit Kat - Beverage Store Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Cool concept but extremely overpriced and old product. If you are wanting expensive but somewhat "exotic" drinks and treats than this is the place for you. You can find 75% of the stuff they at other places for a lot less. Cool to see, but wouldn't shop here again. read more

Friendly person behind the counter, great selection, decent prices considering the items are imported. Hard to find tucked away location, but kind of adds to the Mystique of the place. I love little obscure hole-in-the-wall places like this. read more

Very rude person working there. Drove a hour to visit the store and all the person did was sit there and stare at me and shrugged when I asked him a couple of questions read more

Very disrespectful and was accused of stealing as the owner came out and walked up to our car demanding to see our car and as it escalated I was trying to talk to him but after he persisted that I stole using my one month old son so I got loud and he pulled a gun out after I told him to fight me like a man smh ‍ read more

Super unique and rare snacks/sodas. Has a good collection and is always looking for new stuff or restocking the rare ones. Fairly priced for the rarity and scarcity of some of these products. read more

If you're looking for a childhood favorite or just an exciting snack definitely check out Pops. You can tell this man enjoys what he does and will hunt down any snack for you to the best of his ability. Plus there's the cutest helping run the shop 10/10 would recommend! read more

All of the merchandise was on the floor in the shop scattered. The employee I assume was "Pop" himself did not bother to even try to put a mask on. Thought this would be a cool shop after I heard about the story and how it came to be. So disappointed I left without purchasing anything. read more

I came in looking for a spicy/hot ginger bear and I had a little under a dozen for choose from (not including the ginger ale). The guy who runs the place was super chill and showed a sincere interest in learning about the foreign products I had come in looking for. He didn't have them but he had some great alternatives and took down the info I had so he could look into ordering some of the brands we had talked about. Great place and great prices. read more

I was texting him on Instagram and I saw him on tiktok then I went to his shop and nice. Has lv and a lot of stuff candy,soda etc love it was 1 hour but it was worth I'll probably go there again read more

Love this place so much! I always find something weird and interesting when I walk in. If you are a fan of Japanese Sodas, Limited Edition Cereals, and Nostalgic Candies, then this is the stop for you! The staff here is always super kind and helpful with making sure you walk out with an experience not found in many other shops. read more

I really likes this lil place they really make you feel comfortable while you look around they got about every exotic soda's you can think of read more

very friendly and helpful and they've got a good selection of unique snacks to try, they even gave us some cool stickers

Saw this shop on a viral tik tok and thought it'd be a cool experience to try some new snacks. My boyfriend and I had to file a police report last night after the owner came outside of the store accusing us of stealing a bag of chips. He came out of his store rushing towards the back seat of my car where my one month old son and 10 year old brother-in-law sat. The situation had my baby screaming because of the sudden volume and tone in everyone's voices, had my brother-in-law crying, and my own anxiety wouldn't even let me speak until Mesa police arrived. Had my boyfriend rush off of the car to settle the situation with hands because we were innocent and he was coming at BABIES. He had the nerve to show him a gun and had two females telling him that the owner would shoot him if he went into his shop again. Mind you we didn't steal a thing from this shop. We PAID for what my boyfriend and his little brother wanted. The owner came out recording us saying he was about to put us on blast for stealing. We will never be back in again. read more

This is the spot, anything you need, they'll sell it to you cheaper, just let em know and they'll get it... "Soda Pop Stop" more like One Stop Shop. read more

Love this place went there for the first time the other day and got to look around, it's a small little spot so I didn't get to see everything since there was a group of people in there. I didn't even realize there was an attached smoke shop- gotta check that out next time. I thought I was going to spend more money but I was pleasantly surprised with the price tags, was cheaper than I expected with it being imported. Great spot if you are looking for rare drinks and snacks in you definitely gotta check this place out read more

Best soda shop in Arizona best selection of crazy snacks too every time I stop buy I'm spending about 40$ just 2 or 3 bottles of soda alone but the price tag is well worth, the owner is super cool messages him over Instagram and let me in prior to their opening time at 12. So if you need anything snack or soda related this is your guy!!!! read more

Great selection! Great guys. They have a passion for their business. They run a very clean soda shop.

This is a shop for the whole family, they are always bring in new and fun beverages and snacks.
