One place that I definitely want to stop at for this Friday snacking series is the Snacks ’N Sodas shop in Carle Health Proctor Hospital. I mean the place literally has “snacks” in its name, so this is a no brainer!
This place has the old Hunts Drive-In ice cream recipes and you can check out past posts and read more about this place by clicking here and here.
Now let’s get over there and have a sweet Friday Snack Attack!
Here we are at Carle Health Proctor Hospital, let’s get inside, it’s freezing out here and the snack shop is right inside of the front foyer!
Oh no, it’s closed!
At first I thought maybe it was just for the day, but upon looking further, they’re storing crap in here and it looks like it’s closed for good. Nuts, I was hungry for a sweet snack today…hmm…sweet…hey, that gives me an idea for a place that’s just down the street from here in Junction City…
Sweet Cece’s!
This will be the perfect place for a sweet Friday snack attack!
Sadly my name is not Billy, but let’s go in because as I said before it’s freezing out here…I’ve mentioned on here that I absolutely hate the winter, right? I thought so, okay let’s go in and begin our snackalicious post!
It’s looking nice in here, let’s go see who’s behind the front counter over there…
This is Kierra, who’s looking very pretty in her Sweet Cece’s apron! It was great to meet and chat with her and she told me to feel free to wander around and take some photos in here and so that is exactly what I’m going to do!
Come on, let’s wander!
There’s the tables in the front dining area where we entered moments ago…
And there’s another dining area over here off to the side. I love the art in here!
This place is familiar to me because years ago when I was in high school I worked in the Drug Store here in Junction City and this was the soda fountain and candy area of the store.
Next door was the actual drug store area which is now Random clothing store. You can read and see more photos at this post from the past.
I recently had a lunch out here with my friends Jan and Ilene who I worked with out here and we were going to stop in here but it was a Sunday and Sweet Cece’s was closed. We plan on coming back here to reminisce, so stay tuned for that!
Okay, time for our Friday snack, it’s self-serve and in addition to tasty soft yogurt they also have pretzels, lemonade, root beer floats and coffee, tea, soda and water.
You start here at the cones, but…
We’ll go with a cup and I think I’m going to try the Cupcake Batter soft yogurt. Okay, the cup is filled up, let’s go to the next area…
The topping section!
They have all kinds of fun flavors and toppings and I chose to add some crushed graham cracker and M&M’s.
I added some warm caramel over at this station.
It’s looking pretty sweet and delicious at this point!
There’s even more tasty and sweet toppings over here, but my cup runneth over, so no more for me!
There’s a nice bar to sit at up here in the front window with a view of the Junction City parking lot.
This yogurt snack looks absolutely fabulous, let’s dig in to this sweet treat!
This was such a tasty treat! The yogurt was sweet and tasty and it was perfectly complimented with the crunchy graham crackers, M&M’s and the warm caramel sauce!
I emptied that cup and luckily soft yogurt doesn’t give you the dreaded brain freeze!
This was a wonderful Friday snack attack, have a wonderful weekend everyone!
