Choose From 25 Flavors To Create Your Own Gourmet Soda At Stop ‘N Pop In South Carolina

It all started with a simple desire to provide not only the best hand-crafted soda and snacks but also a fun, safe environment where friends and families can come together to relax and have a great time. And that’s how Stop ‘n Pop was born, a great place to go when you’re looking for things to do in Orangeburg.

This neat family-owned and operated gourmet soda shop with fun things to do, too, is located at the former Edisto River Creamery on John C. Calhoun Drive, which is Highway 301.

The main attraction here is the handcrafted gourmet sodas, a concept that first started in Utah and has become a big trend. You have the option to order one of over 70 signature items from the menu, such as Walk on the Beach, a combination of coconut, pineapple, and strawberry with Mountain Dew, Barrel of Monkeys, a mixture of Root Beer or Ginger Ale with butterscotch and vanilla cream, and more.

Or you can create your own soda from flavors including blackberry, blueberry, butterscotch, caramel, cherry, cotton candy, cranberry, grape, grapefruit, green apple, guava, huckleberry, kiwi, passion fruit, pineapple, pomegranate, raspberry, toasted marshmallow, and watermelon. There are also five sugar-free flavors including coconut, mango, peach, strawberry, and vanilla. Water, sparkling water, tea, and lemonade can also be chosen as a base instead of a soda, and there are other things you can mix into your drink as well, including purees, fresh fruits, and creams.

There's also a coffee bar, from which this drink was made. The Affagato features shots of espresso poured over vanilla ice cream resulting in an extra creamy, delicious treat!

Kids and kids at heart will adore the kids' drinks. This one is made with Sprite, cotton candy flavoring, vanilla cream, and cotton candy on top!

An interesting bucket list activity for kids would be to try each of the kids' drinks, of which there are currently just four, including the Superhero, Sunshine and Rainbows, Swamp Water, and Sweet Tooth.

Seasonal offerings are also a delight – what could be better than a Peeps topper at Easter?

If you'd like something to eat along with your beverage, there are numerous choices.

The donuts are homemade and popular among customers.

Some other options often available are churros, specialty popcorn, and ice cream.

Stop 'n Pop isn't just a place to get snacks and cool drinks though.

There are also other things to do here, with a selection of games to play like Connect 4, Pool, Tic-Tac-Toe ...

... Skee-ball ...

... cornhole, and more! You can enjoy your treats and fun activities indoors or in the space outdoors.

This would be a good place for a family night outing or meet-up with friends!
