Beautiful establishment that kept the charm of the building. Very cool pharmaceutical stained glass mural on the ceiling. The drinks are fabulous and always fresh and tasty. Also a great place to hang out and get some work done. Staff is friendly and service is very fast! (I got the Cosmic Kiwi Splash and it was delicious.)

Amazing place that’s OPEN ON A SUNDAY!!! Noooothing in Leavenworth is open on a Sunday… great atmosphere. Don’t let the “soda” in the name deter you, they have sandwiches, coffee, different fun drinks, ice cream. I had Affogato which was amazing! My daughter loved her chocolate drink and croissant turkey BLT. Loft area with board games is pretty cool. Music is not too loud which is great! We will come again for sure!

Outstanding Food and Exceptional Service 🥪🥤🍨 I visited First City Soda in Leavenworth today and ordered the Turkey Pesto sandwich with a pickle and potato chips, along with their broccoli and cheese soup — the soup of the day. Everything was absolutely delicious. The soup was creamy, flavorful, and comforting, while the sandwich was served warm on a ciabatta roll, perfectly layered with tender turkey, caramelized onions, sundried tomatoes, pesto, and melted mozzarella. I was served by Miles and Laya — both exceptional. Miles was polite, smart, and considerate, and Laya was a very kind young lady who added to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Together, they made the experience feel personal and genuine. It’s clear that both the staff and the kitchen take real pride in what they do. If you’

Note: currently does not have a kids menu. However, a server told my daughter they are going to have one. Which will be great. Recommendations for kids menu: grilled cheese, cheese quesadilla, etc. We had the turkey pesto. Quality food, especially the thick cut turkey & ciabatta. Cherry limeade was refreshing. My daughter had a fountain fresh soda she enjoyed it. We also had ice cream. The scoop size good be bigger for the price. They do appear understaffed, however, they are a new business. We would visit again.

The servers are all so so amazing and sweet! The food is also fantastic (I had a smores croissant). The drinks are also some of the best I've had in a while. The chocolate milkshake and malt are both spectacular! Will be making this a regular visit! I highly recommend for a quick bite or for a hangout spot with friends or family!
