CloudFizz is a veteran-owned artisanal dirty soda shop bringing the West Coast phenomenon to the East Coast with creative flavor combinations and our signature cold foam.
After proudly serving our country for 10 years in the Air Force, I returned home with an unexpected discovery that would change my life. During my travels, I fell head over heels in love with Utah's vibrant dirty soda culture. These creative concoctions brought such joy and excitement that I knew I had found my next mission - bringing this delightful experience to our community.
What began as a passion project - crafting unique flavor combinations in my kitchen for fellow veterans and loved ones - blossomed into something magical. The pure delight on people's faces as they tried their first dirty soda sparked a new sense of purpose in me. Each drink became a way to create moments of happiness and bring people together, just like the camaraderie I cherished in the Air Force.
CloudFizz emerged from a dream to share these joyful moments with the East Coast, creating not just drinks, but an experience that lifts spirits and builds community. Every fizzy creation is a celebration of life's simple pleasures, crafted to bring smiles to faces and create connections - one delightful sip at a time. Our shop is more than just a place for amazing drinks; it's a haven where everyone, regardless of their background or dietary needs, can find their perfect flavor of happiness.
To create joy through innovative beverages that bring people together, fostering an inclusive environment that welcomes everyone regardless of background, while actively supporting our local community and enriching lives through meaningful connections.
Discover the craft beverage sensation that's taking the nation by storm
We start with premium sodas as the foundation. From classic cola to craft root beer, the base sets the stage for a unique flavor experience.
This is where the magic happens! We add premium Torani syrups, fresh fruit purees, and other flavor enhancers to create unique combinations.
Our signature cold foam tops each creation, adding a creamy dimension and additional flavor that slowly infuses into the drink as you sip.
The term "dirty" refers to how the drink is modified from its original form with additions like syrups, cream, and flavorings - similar to how a "dirty martini" includes olive juice. It's a playful way to describe these customized soda creations that transform a simple soda into a craft beverage experience!

Everything you wanted to know about dirty sodas and CloudFizz
A "dirty soda" is a customized soda drink that's been enhanced with flavor additions like syrups, cream, fruit purees, and other mix-ins. The term "dirty" refers to how the drink is modified from its original form - similar to how a "dirty martini" includes olive juice. At CloudFizz, we take this concept to the next level by adding our signature cold foam on top, creating a multi-layered flavor experience that changes as you drink it.
Dirty sodas originated in Utah around 2010, where they quickly became a cultural phenomenon. Utah has a large Mormon population that abstains from coffee and alcohol, which created a market for creative, non-alcoholic beverages. Drive-thru soda shops began offering customized sodas with various flavor additions, and the trend exploded in popularity. In recent years, dirty sodas have gained national attention through social media platforms like TikTok, introducing this unique beverage concept to a wider audience across the country.
Cold foam is lighter and silkier than traditional whipped cream. While whipped cream is made with heavy cream and is quite sweet, our cold foam is crafted from a proprietary blend that creates a velvety, cloud-like texture. It's less sweet than whipped cream and is designed to slowly incorporate into your drink as you sip, creating an evolving flavor experience. Our cold foam can also be infused with various flavors to complement the soda base, adding another dimension to the drink.
Absolutely! Customization is at the heart of the dirty soda experience. At CloudFizz, you can choose your soda base, flavor additions, and cold foam variety. Our trained staff can also make recommendations based on your taste preferences. We offer a menu of signature creations for those who want a curated experience, but we encourage customers to get creative and design their perfect drink. We even keep track of customer creations, and particularly popular ones might make it onto our featured menu!
The caffeine content depends on the soda base you choose. We offer both caffeinated and caffeine-free options. Popular bases like Coca-Cola and Dr. Pepper contain caffeine, while options like Sprite and cream sodas are caffeine-free. We clearly mark which bases contain caffeine on our menu, and our staff is always happy to help you select a caffeine-free alternative if that's your preference.
Yes! Inclusivity is important to us, so we offer plant-based alternatives for our cold foam and cream additions. We have coconut, almond, and oat-based options that are just as delicious as our traditional dairy versions. Many of our syrups and flavor additions are also vegan-friendly. Just let our staff know about your dietary preferences, and they'll be happy to guide you toward options that meet your needs.
