#14 Eat out at 10 new places (11/10): Sodalicious

Earlier this month I decided to do something different for visiting teaching (a thing in my church where two ladies will go visit another lady and see that she's doing well and be her friend), and my companion and I took both of our visiting teachees out to a new place for drinks!  A friend had told me that it was really good, and I couldn't wait to try it out.

I didn't realize until I saying it that this place sounds like "so delicious"!  I knew it was a play between the words soda and delicious, and was delighted to find that out as well.  Clever.  I love it when places have clever names!

And although I've already completed this goal, I had to blog about this place because it's that good.  Brilliant.  It's a soda bar!  For a buck you can get a soda (you can mix as many sodas as you like, if you want, although we were warned that the suicide isn't great) and a mix-in flavor.  I had diet Dr. Pepper with horchata.  It was amazing.

They also sell hot chocolate and "hot lava."  What's hot lava, you might ask, well it's like a really thick and rich hot chocolate. The hot chocolate and lava come in decadent flavors from salted caramel to pumpkin pie to peppermint bark.  They have over 20 soda flavors and more than a dozen flavor add-ins, including a decent sugar-free collection for those wanting a low calorie pick-me-up.  Next time you have a long paper to write, you might pick yourself up a dirty Coke, with lime and coconut!  They also have 5 different kinds of cookies, which are all big, soft, and delicious, and rice krispy treats.  See the full menu here.

How did this place appear in Provo?  Well there were these two women that would always bring drinks to work.  It's been a few weeks, so the details are hazy, but I believe they worked with actors or artists in Salt Lake.  They would always bring flavors and mix the drinks (mostly soda, as we Mormons don't drink coffee or alcohol).  Then they went to Italy and learned how to make hot lava.  When they came back, they thought that such a place would do well in Provo, and voila!  We got Sodalicious.

Sodalicious is nestled a few yards off of University Ave and 300 North.  Although the location is a little hard to see, they've got a good spot and have made a name for themselves.  This little start-up is sure to survive.

Note: there's nowhere to sit, so whether you drive through or park and come to the window, plan on taking your drink elsewhere to enjoy.
