Galco’s old world grocery - highland park, LA

Also known as Galco’s Soda Pop Stop if you’ve never been, go give yourself a treat. soooo many different sodas and other bottled drinks. They have a make your own soda that’s usually up and running. Also vintage style candy. In full disclosure, I went in today to grab a soda and see about a job. Talked to the owner John for about 20 minutes about picking a soda and where they came from; it was lovely. i want that job so bad. sure, it’s not industry but i feel like i would meld so well there. stocking soda, talking to interesting people, listening to old jazz. I would be living my Tony from West Side Story dreams and break out in song on my lunch.

Galco’s old world grocery

This place feels frozen in time in a charming way with a tinge of liminal space aesthetic. The nostalgic candies and toys make it feel familiar to me but only because I remember the stories from my mom and grandma's childhoods. This place carries a ton of specialty drinks and even offers an option of crafting your own soda with tons of syrup flavors to choose from. I'm still working on my perfect soda flavor combination. I'm recommending Galco’s not just for the vibe but for their sandwiches! Being from the east coast (new jersey, philly, new york) ive become a lowkey (hoagie) sandwich snob. The bread is my first priority and the bread here is the perfect texture. I really enjoy the Turkey Blockbuster without mustard and a bag of salt and vinegar chips.

Highland park soda fountain

Best spot for a milk shake, grilled cheese, and a pecan waffle topped with a drizzle of tobasco.

Sarris candies

Family owned chocolate, candy, and ice cream shop. I still go every time I’m in town. I order close to $100 worth every year through my nieces’ dance fundraiser. So much has changed about where I grew up. It’s become another overdeveloped suburb. My dad is gone, my childhood home is not ours anymore. This place is one constant.
