An absolutely lovely establishment. The food and drinks here are so good and constantly changing to keep it fresh. The interior is comfortable too. Best of all, though, the staff are super friendly and kind! You can tell they care by the way they interact with you.I've never been disappointed or left wanting all the times I've visited.Kid-friendliness: The establishment keeps language PG

Cherry Pop's Soda Shop is THE spot to visit in Catawba, heck, all of NC if you want that retro flair! The food is immaculate and makes you want more. The drinks, sweets, and other baked goods are out of this world and out of this time. Everything is perfect; I have never, EVER been served something I don't like in my many visits to Cherry Pop's. I can't even go a month without visiting this place. They even have seasonal menus, so drop by when your favorite holiday is rolling around the corner. The people are HEAVENLY. They treat you like family, they treat you like you belong in their store. Everything from the food, to the people, to the gorgeous atmosphere make this a staple of Catawba; I LOVE Cherry Pop's Soda Shop!

Very quaint soda fountain. The friendly service and great food and treats make you want to return.
Came in at 3pm on a Monday. This was a fun little spot. It was a little out of the way of Hickory in Catawba but if you're in the area I'd stop in. I ordered the soda flight and got the cantaloupe and melon, blue curaçao, cotton candy, poly juice potion, Coca Cola, and habanero lime. They were all really good! The waitress was also super nice. The price for the flight, which was a lot of soda, was only 6$! I'd recommend this spot if you're in the area.

We absolutely love this place for a good old-fashioned, soda fountain experience! Atmosphere is so nostalgic, service is super friendly and treats are delicious! Our favorite place to stop for ice cream and to bring visitors! We come back again, and again!

If you love ice cream, this is your spot. Step back in time going through the door and have a wonderful dessert experience. Stopped in recently and they has some new flavors (Strawberry Cheesecake and Espresso Chocolate Chunk) of ice cream that we tried, out of this world. We will be going back to try the Red Velvet Cheesecake too but sadly they didn't have when we stopped in this time. They also serve milkshakes, sundaes, cones, waffle bowls, soda with so many flavor enhancers, toppers for the ice cream, syrups for ice cream, glass coke bottles, and more. It is hard to chose just one thing to try so be prepared to return til to try them all. They also have old school candy and toys for sale, prices are pretty cheap for that. Dining area is quite small and quaint however they have space outside to sit if weather is decent. Definitely a returning spot for us. Keep in mind sodas don't get refills.Parking: There is limited street parking in front of store. Parallel parking across street and further down from store front. They have a small lot next to building that holds about 10 vehicles
Love this ice cream shop! The people are friendly, fast, and the choice of treats is endless! The Java Shake is the perfect blend of coffee and ice cream!

What an absolute gem of an establishment. So much history and preservation. An old drug store converted to candy shop. Then shut down for years to be reopened as a candy shop with all original booths, chairs, shelves, etc. The phosphate sodas are worth the drive alone. Bring your family, bring your date, this is a place for everyone. Received amazing advise from the owner who help is avoid a terrible vacation mistake.

This place is amazing!!! If you are looking for a true 50’s experience this is the place to go. They have an original soda fountain where you can get hand made soda’s of all different flavors and variety. If soda isn’t your thing then grab some of their delicious and hand made ice cream offerings. They have a huge menu of different shakes, sundaes. And other creations!! Stop in and say hello to their wonderful staff and get yourself a very tasty treat.Kid-friendliness: Bring the kids!! Lots of ice cream and some old school sweets.
