Crumbl is serving up soda in a completely unique way with the launch of new treats like the Dirty Soda Tres Leches Cake.
Available as part of the weekly menu running from August 3rd through August 8th, Crumbl's new soda-themed menu includes three drink-inspired creations. First up is the Dirty Soda Tres Leches Cake, which is a chocolate soda cake soaked in a dirty soda tres leches sauce, all topped with a house-made coconut lime whipped cream and a fresh slice of lime. There's also the new Chocolate Cola Brownie, which is a cola-based brownie topped with a fudge cola frosting, and the new Nilla Bean Float Cookie, which is a chocolate cola cookie topped with a swirl of chocolate cola and vanilla bean mousse, along with a crispy wafer straw and lemon wedge.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Soda-infused Desserts
- Classic fountain-drink flavors are being reworked into cakes, cookies, and brownies, creating room for nostalgic beverage profiles to become premium limited-time bakery experiences.
- Dirty Soda Flavors
- The popularity of customized soda combinations is extending beyond beverages, signaling potential for crossover products that blend dessert, dairy, citrus, and carbonated-drink cues.
- Weekly Drop Menus
- Rotating, time-limited dessert launches are strengthening consumer urgency and social sharing, giving food brands a flexible format for rapid flavor experimentation.
Sectors Adopting This
- Bakery
- Specialty bakeries are expanding beyond traditional flavors with beverage-inspired recipes that differentiate menus and encourage repeat visits through novelty.
- Confectionery
- Candy and sweet snack brands can reinterpret cola, float, and soda-shop flavors into indulgent formats that connect familiar tastes with playful product design.
- Foodservice
- Quick-service and dessert-focused operators are using limited-run collaborations and hybrid menu items to turn familiar beverages into high-margin experiential treats.
