      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!

      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.

      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!

      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!

      Double fisting the goodness.
      Behold baby popcorn in the back...

      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.

      Waited over 20 minutes to get 2 drinks and a sugar cookie. Might be better off going to another soda shop.

      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.

      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. My husband loves soda lol. They did not disappoint! Also the beignets were the best we've ever had!!!!

      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.

      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.
