Neighborhood: French Quarter
A small and teeming network of laissez-faire living lounged out on the balmy banks of the Mighty Mississippi, the French Quarter has long been a port of call for folks in search of a good time and a great story. Perpetually inebriated Bourbon Street runs across its midriff like a strand of cheap ribbon tied around an otherwise rather pretty and impressively well-kept vintage dress. Throughout the rest of the Quarter, brightly colored Victorian homes and businesses, famously done up with wrought-iron features, provide a distinct and immediately recognizable backdrop for all varieties of fun. At any given moment in this historic riverside setting, some of America’s finest meals are being cooked, most potent cocktails are being mixed, and most engaging music is being performed.

I have never seen so many types of soda pop in one place! It is crazy! They have so many varieties (some strange combinations) and some have very funny names. They also have a huge collection of tin/ metal signs and lots of candy too. Just a fun shop to visit!

There's a staggering variety of candy and soda for a shop this size. If there's a treat you love, or loved long ago, chances are you'll find it here.

This place has every candy you’ve had and more (there were some international ones too) and unique pop soda “flavors”. Go in and have some fun.

Happened upon this wonderful candy and soda shop on Decatur St, a little further down and across the street from Cafe du Monde. What a treat, especially for our teenage son. Every kind of soda imaginable! We tried strawberry shortcake - omg! Tasted exactly like it! It was like being in Willy Wonka World!! Every candy imaginable, too!! So much to try -- so little time! Reasonable prices for the unique variety, and kind and helpful staff. Don't miss it!! Especially if you have kids!!

This was a fun shop to drop into on a hot day. I picked a cold Cucumber Soda and my daughter picked a Mango Soda. Both were delicious and refreshing. Staff was friendly also.

Talk about what a AMAZING find this place was! I was super impressed and so glad my hubby made us go there! I found all my old time favorites. They had so many classics and some of the gum choices I haven't seen in 25 years!!! Found something for everyone! They had crazy flavors of soda, candy options I have never seen before, spices like every NOLA store, and Collectibles. A MUST if you ever go to NOLA! The owner and son were super nice and helpful! So happy I went! I really felt like a kid again! Miss that store already!

Well, a 40 something and two 19 year olds in a candy store! We felt like we were kids. What fun! They had a wall of different flavored sodas and any kind of candy you could imagine. The novelty candy and gag gifts were great. Candy covered insects and bacon flavored toothpicks. They had old school candy as well. From Bubblegum cigarettes to Astro pops.
My nephew purchased several different flavored root beers and Pocki sticks. They had the oddest flavored sodas from Buffalo Wing soda to Fresh Cut Grass soda which wasn’t bad.
Very easy to find on Decatur St , just a couple blocks from Jackson Square.

This is a great find!! Lots to choose from; there isn't a candy or soda you can't find here. From pickle juice soda to old fashion root beer; candy from around the world. We got lots from here and can't wait to get back for more!! You gotta go inside even if you won't want anything; it's an amazing place.
