A local fixture in Highland Park for decades, Galco's is in some ways a trip down memory lane, carrying more than 600 sodas—most of which harken back to the days when soda was a regional affair—and options from all over the world.

Adjacent to its sister establishment, Kitchen Mouse, is this charming little market stop for all your pastry, grab 'n’ go nourishment, and catering needs, complete with a small shop that touts adorable home and gift items. It’s a must-stop after you’ve had your vegan fix at the restaurant.
