Suck It Up is turning everyday soda into a fully customizable experience, and everyone is already lining up to get a taste.
The new shop offers “dirty sodas” a twist on classic soft drinks mixed with flavored syrups, sweet cream, fruit, and so much more — creating colorful, flavorful combinations that feel more like dessert than a drink. Along with many other drinks like their own house energy drink, iced tea, lemonades, flavored waters and protein drinks.
The moment customers walk in, the vibe is bright, playful and exciting. A menu full of endless possibilities and crew members who suggest fan favorites for first timers. Whether its coconut cream mixed into coke cola or strawberry puree swirled into mountain dew, each drink feels uniquely personal.
The shop’s name might make people do a double take, but that’s part of their charm. The owners said they wanted something bold and memorable and it’s working. Students of all ages, families and friend groups have quickly embraced the spot as a new hangout destination.
Beyond the drinks, the atmosphere sets the tone. Upbeat music, bright decor and smiling employees make it clear this isn’t just about grabbing a soda — it’s about the experience. Customers can mix and match flavors, adjust sweetness levels and even add fresh fruit or popping boba for an extra treat.
For a city in search of new and fun things, Suck It Up stands out by offering something interactive and fun. It taps into the growing popularity of specialty soda shops while adding its own local flair. For anyone looking for a study break, a post practice refresher or just a cute photo op with friends, this shop is the place to be.
It’s a quick sweet treat, it’s customizable and it feels like summer in a cup. One thing is for sure, Bakersfield just got a little sweeter.
