If you're looking for a fun, delicious, and genuinely welcoming treat stop in Utah County, Soda Retreat in Salem is absolutely worth the visit. Best part! You can grab a soda and a cookie before heading out to go see Pond Town Christmas at Salem Pond! This place takes Utah's soda culture to another level. Their menu is packed with creative drink combinations, fresh mix-ins, fruit purées, cream add-ins, and all the nostalgic flavors you could want. Every soda tastes thoughtfully crafted rather than overly sweet or syrupy, which is a huge win. But the real surprise here is the treats. Soda Retreat offers Rockwell ice cream (some of the best in Utah!), giant soft cookies, warm pretzels, nachos and other fun snacks that make it easy to turn a quick drink stop into a full treat experience. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service is consistently friendly, quick, and upbeat. Even when there's a line, the staff keeps things moving without sacrificing quality. The drive-thru is super convenient, and the location feels like a true small-town gem. Whether you're passing through Salem, looking for a family outing, or just craving something fun and refreshing, Soda Retreat is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend stopping by -- you'll leave happy every time! https://linktr.ee/reessroots read more

Cute little shop that's often got 2-3 cars in line so we decided to give it a try. We ordered four different drink flavors that had old fashioned road trip names like Route 66 etc. Ordering was easy and like other soda shops it also had a selection of other treats like ice cream, cookies, sweet rolls and more. Also other drinks like flavored hot chocolate options. The staff was friendly and helpful. They were patient with us as we asked questions about popular flavors. We might have given them 5 stars just for the great cookies. But they lost a star completely due to our own preferences. We like a little stronger flavors. It seemed they were trying to provide a balanced flavor that did not take over or try too hard. However, for our tastes we prefer stronger and more overt add-in flavors. They chose to be more subtle and nuanced, we felt we could have made these at home but that's the point of these places. You don't have to keep everything on hand to be able to enjoy it. read more

All right they're not the huge cookies you're used to in the other competitors but the price is half so it seems fair that the cookie sizes also half sized.Fast and friendly service in Salem. The cookies were good cookies but my wife and I were looking for a cookie as a Friday night meal along with ice cream and you'll need more than one cookie for a complete meal ;-) OK after my wife and I dissected the cookies the different flavors we decided that they're good cookies but there's just nothing very 'Stand outish'About them. That being said it is obviously asoda place. read more

Ok this is such a great soda shop! The menu is so huge and offers such unique flavors, with a mixture of syrups, purees, and other fresh fruit options. You're going to be able to find other options beyond what you'd be able to order at Sodalicious or Swig, and there is such a huge variety of other treats beyond soda, too! This is a one-stop-shop for anyone who's got a sweet tooth with great prices and a cute location! read more

Soda Retreat - a red truck parked on a gravel lot - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Salem, Utah

I was visiting for a couple days from out of state and was told I needed to try this place for a specific drink. Oh my goodness, my friend wasn't wrong at all. I went out of my way on my drive back home just to stop by and get another low 'n' slow sparkling water. My friend originally told me to get a 44oz of it, so I did, but I shared it with my sister...... bad choice. The next time, we definitely both got our own 44oz and sipped it from Utah to California! So refreshing and it wasn't too sweet which I was originally worried about since I normally drink La Croix or Bubly which doesn't have sugar. I definitely wish there was one closer to me in SoCal! read more

Soda Retreat - MY DELICIOUS DRINK!!!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Salem, Utah

The drinks are amazing but I will say I am disappointed in the sweet rolls, they use to be so much better but now they are a 1/4 of the size they used to be and still for the same price read more

Double scoop Salted Carmel and MuddyBuddy FTW. The Rockwell ice cream is too damn good. My wife loves their sodas as well. Nice establishment inside and out, I don't frequent any other places like this but I'm sure this one is where it's at. read more

Soda Retreat use to be great when they first opeNed, but they have really gone down hill lately. Their customer service isn't great. They're very short, and not kind. Their rewards program sucks too compared to other places. And you're not going to believe this, The worst thing happened to me there a few days ago. I ordered a chocolate chip cookie, because they're usually good, but then a took a bite and it tasted like there was paper in it! So I pull it out of my mouth, and sure enough there was a long piece of wax paper in my cookie! Like, are you for real?! That is so unprofessional and not exceptable! Needless to say, I won't be going there anymore! Save yourself the money and bad experience and go to Fiiz instead! read more

Their drinks are top notch. The employees are kind. It's a fun, friendly, local place to go. I tried a pretzel, and I am afraid that it was the worst pretzel I've ever tasted. Rather than use the standard frozen pretzels you find in most places, it seems they make their own. To my great dismay, the pretzel lacked any flavor at all. I couldn't even taste salt. The consistency of the dough was the other problem. It was dense, yet quite moist. It almost tasted undercooked, but it wasn't. It was a little flimsy. It didn't come with cheese, nor did I know that was an option until now. However, I doubt that cheese would have made it tolerable. The cookies are also not that great. I tried the chocolate chip cookie, as well as the M&M cookie. They weren't gross by any means, they were just meh. I thought they tasted like they were made with margarine (not sure if that's accurate, but that was what the dough tasted like). I'm sure they would be fine with their ice cream sandwiches. I hate to be so critical of this business because I really like what they're doing for the community. I loved their soda's, and I hope that those keep them in business. My hope is that the owners will see this review, adjust some things, and improve the food products. I look forward to going back for drinks and if I ever see adjustments made to the food, I hope to try them and adjust my review accordingly. read more

So yummy! And so adorable, convenient and just what Salem needed! I got the Checkered Flag with Diet Coke and it was per-fec-tion! This will definitely be my new go to place when I'm out running errands and need a little pick me up. read more

Cutest place! Yummy drinks. Love the small town location and atmosphere. We drive from Orem just to come!

I am always so excited to get soda retreat drinks and treats when visiting from out of state. They have amazing drinks and everything is clean and I love the theme and everything about this place. It's sad when the vacation is over and I'm home dreaming of soda retreat. Visit them you won't regret it! read more

The fact that they sell Rockwell's ice cream is enough to travel the world to get here. Try the apple pie ice cream flavor (seasonal) this month. I have never died over apple pie until I tried this ice cream and in an attempt to have this ice cream on thanksgiving I made apple pie for the first time in my 44 years for thanksgiving just to try to have apple pie ice cream from soda retreat. Not to mention they have biscoff ice cream to die for. Seriously. The soda selection and combinations are excellent. Ice... perfection. How is it that Utah does soda so well???? It's a modern farmhouse feel inside and fun to be around all the teenagers that work there. Drive to Salem for this and Stan's drive through Indian. Enjoy the smell of cows and the sounds of roosters along the way. Will make you feel like you are in time long past. read more

Love this place! Great drinks and yummy treats as well! I like the checkered flag and my husband loves the biscoff ice cream!
