Sota Shop

Sota Shop is a specialty beverage concept in Minnesota that bills itself as the state’s original “dirty soda” or “dirty pop” shop. It offers customizable soft drinks built on a base of soda or sparkling water, combined with pebble ice, flavored syrups, fruit purees, and creams to create dessert‑like drinks and unique flavor combinations. Locations such as the shop at The Shops at West End in St. Louis Park operate as counter‑service beverage bars focused on grab‑and‑go refreshments rather than full meals.

A charge from “Sota st” on a card statement is likely from a visit to one of these Sota Shop beverage locations—most plausibly the St. Louis Park store, where some processors may truncate the descriptor to “SOTA ST…” when appending the city name. In most cases, these charges are one‑time purchases for drinks or small snacks, though multiple drinks for a group can lead to higher‑than‑expected totals. As with many small food and beverage merchants, card terminals may place a short‑term authorization hold that differs slightly from the final settled amount.

If you’re unsure about a Sota Shop charge, start by checking your recent receipts, email confirmations, or mobile wallet history for a same‑day purchase at a dirty soda or specialty drink shop in Minnesota. You can also review your card’s transaction details for the full descriptor, which may include “Sota Shop,” “Sota Shop MN,” or a mall name like “West End” or “Southdale.” To resolve questions, contact the store directly using the phone number or contact form listed on their website; staff can typically look up purchases by date, time, and card last four digits. If you still don’t recognize the transaction, your card issuer can investigate or dispute the charge on your behalf.
