Create Your Perfect Dirty Soda
Real drinks and real food built fresh at our West Dominick location
The Dirty Fizz Cafe brings craft dirty sodas, specialty coffee, house-made desserts, and made-to-order meals to Rome and the Mohawk Valley. Located at 254 West Dominick Street in the Copper City, this is a neighborhood spot where the build-your-own dirty soda experience is the name, the identity, and the thing no chain can replicate. Every drink and meal starts with your choices, not a pre-set menu.
You decide the flavor combinations, the fizz level, and the loaded ingredients that go into your soda or espresso drink. Breakfast and lunch work the same way—fresh ingredients assembled to order, nothing reheated or sitting under a warmer. The menu adapts to what you want, not the other way around.
The Dirty Fizz Cafe is open Tuesday through Sunday, serving the West Dominick Street district, Griffiss Park area, and Black River Boulevard corridor. This is where the good stuff happens, built your way, in a space that takes its craft seriously without taking itself too seriously.
Stop by our brick-and-mortar location on West Dominick Street and see what you can create.

How We Build What You Order
Every item that leaves the counter at The Dirty Fizz Cafe is assembled specifically for you. You're not picking from a limited set of pre-made combos or settling for what's already mixed. You're telling us what you want, and we're building it fresh—whether it's a loaded dirty soda with three flavor pumps and cream, a specialty espresso drink with your preferred milk and sweetness level, or a breakfast plate with the toppings you actually like.
The process is straightforward: you choose your base, add your flavors, pick your extras, and we make it happen. No guessing, no substitutions that don't quite work, no "we can't do that." If you can imagine the combination, we can build it. That flexibility extends to the food menu too—eggs, proteins, sides, and sauces arranged the way you prefer them.
Here's what makes the build-your-own model work at our Rome location:
- Signature dirty soda bar with dozens of flavor and fizz combinations you control from start to finish
- Fresh ingredients prepped daily so every order is made to order, not reheated or pre-assembled
- Breakfast and lunch items built around your preferences, with real flexibility in what goes on the plate
- A neighborhood cafe in the heart of the Copper City where regulars know they can always get it made their way

Took the family there this past weekend and had a great breakfast and some awesome drinks! Give it a try if you want a real breakfast sandwich!
Nathaniel Giroux
A wonderful little family owned Café that truly makes you want to try everything on the menu. We tried a few different drinks, a sandwich, cookie, and hashbrowns. Everything was excellent. The staff was incredibly friendly, funny, and easy-going. Will definitely be coming back and making a checklist to make sure nothing goes untested
