An old school ice cream parlor , complete with sundaes , shakes , milkshakes , floats , and more. Get one of their signature sundaes to share, or make your own version if you're feeling creative,

Alex Rainert

The Peanut Butter Cup sundae is coffee bean ice cream (hell yeah!) w/ peanut sauce , hot fudge , whip cream and chocolate shavings . It's a heap of killer flavors that go great together.

The Corcoran Group

Visit here for their egg creams , soda floats or ice cream sundaes but stay for the decor. The refurbished shop has some of the original pharmacy features and decorated as a cute soda fountain shop!

Josenny Torres

Peanut butter Cup . Perfect mixture of nuts with chocolate ice cream & hot fudge . The peanut butter is chunky, so you taste it in every bite. Highly recommend for peanut butter lovers

Arjun Shivanand Kannan

Great atmosphere, great neighborhood , the staff are super-friendly and the desserts are out of the world. The sundaes are popular -but don't forget to try a soda - I recommend chocolate !

Stan Tran

The ice cream is not made in-house, but that’s ok because the menu of sundaes is mind blowing! Special mention for the affogato and Twix sundaes !

James C

Great desserts . Cherry blossom shake is awesome. Great place for a date. Crowded on the weekend and summer. Totally worth it old fashioned ice cream and drink shop.

jessica m. hintermeister

cherry-soda float = homemade syrup powered by maraschino & sour Montmorency cherries (soda on Xanax) + scoop of Adirondack Creamery black-raspberry ice cream wedged on the sundae glass’s lip ????

William Johnson

The ice cream sundaes , milkshakes , pies , biscuits are all fantastic and creative. Their traditional food is good but veers a little greasy. The egg cream was nothing to write home about. A MUST VISIT.

Katrina Peralta

This old time diner is a great place to sit and enjoy lunch or dinner . The food tastes like the best kind of homemade , the vintage decor is fun. Make sure to order an egg cream !

Hannah Nicdao

This place has come out of a time capsule from the 50s ???? get a classic hot fudge ice cream sundae and love life.

Don't worry. It's not all sundaes and milkshakes . They also make delicious grilled sandwiches .

Jack Hofland

It's like the 1950's without all the racism. A dream of a non existent era. And the ice cream is good too, I don't see the complaints. Staff is fun and the atmosphere is beyond revival.

Ben K.

Awesome shakes , egg creams , and sundaes . Try a banana chocolate chip malted shake and the Peanut Butter Cup sundae .

refinery29

You’ll find one of the best grilled cheeses here. Kids are offered long pretzel sticks to gnaw on at the counter while waiting on their egg creams and malted shakes . Read more

Ian Zabel

The hot chocolate with whipped cream is perfectly warm on a cold day, and not too rich or sweet

Vinay Dandekar

Great grilled cheese sandwiches and ice cream sundaes ; think about sharing a full size sundae , it's quite enormous!

David Greenberger

Peter Pan donuts , strong coffee and live blues with @ramblinandy every Sunday morning at the soda fountain . Enjoy! http://t.co/BgqlBufALk via @BrooklynFarmacy

Karen Cooper

The breakfast in bed biscuit Sunday (with the bacon ) is one of the best things you'll ever have in your life omfg

David Greenberger

Amazing old timey ice cream and soda fountain bar . Take your parents! And get an Egg Cream - sounds gross, tastes awesome

Jackie Leone

Josenny Torres

Peanut butter cup . So deliciously tasteful. Chunky peanut butter with hot fudge , whip cream , & chocolate ice cream

CITY GRIT

We love The Cookie Monster Sundae but we live for the Mr. Potato Head - Vanilla Ice Cream , Peanut Butter , Caramel , Whipped Cream and North Fork Potato Chips !

Serious Eats

Retro take on an old school soda fountain with giant sundaes , classic sandwiches , and real-deal egg creams .

Colin M. Ford

I highly recommend coming back multiple times and slowly working your way through their menu. It's all great! Also a great place to bring out of town visitors.

KE

I love the mini sundaes for the portions! Vintage atmosphere and the milk shakes , egg creams and ice cream sundaes are top knotch!

Mary O

It feels like you've accidentally stepped back in time. The decor is absolutely charming and the egg creams are delicious to boot.

Kate Furman

Share a Sundae of Broken Dreams , vanilla ice cream scooped on top of broken pretzel logs, covered in caramel with housemade fresh whipped cream

Kate L

Super cute - many tasty treats to choose from - and great staff . The server behind the counter personally fixed our sodas and ice creams for maximum deliciousness.

Uber NYC

Best original sundaes (HUGE - big enough to share), delicious egg creams , old-fashioned atmosphere and super friendly service .

Eileen Wong

Great place for Kids wanting to give a sundae or ice cream fantasy treat! Very similar to Serendipity in terms of menu offerings.

BuzzFeed

The methods are old-fashioned at this retro soda fountain and ice cream parlor , but the menu isn’t; try the Pink Poodle float , made with hibiscus soda .

Buford Barnes

Egg creams are a classic New York soda fountain dessert (and ironically have neither egg nor cream in them).

Emily L.

Even if you're not a dessert kind of person, go for the experience. You definitely will enjoy it all.

Kevin Skobac

The perfect place for dessert and nostalgic family fun - big ice cream sundaes , egg creams , floats , and more.

Kristine

They use Adirondack Creamery for their shakes + ice-cream. Awesome spot to pick up flowers during the summer along with other fun trinkets (small gifts for friends)

Ricky Sherrill

Milkshakes , Sundaes , Malts , or Floats ....they do them all well . Each made with care and to what you want.

Alison G

The space is so cute and is a neighborhood mainstay, which is why it kills me that the ice cream just isn’t very good.

Whitney B

Brownie is so amazing - better than I expected. More like a fallen souffl é...

J Standefer

Must-see restored old school interior... The sundaes , oh my... where to begin? Best quality ice cream , fudge and whipped cream !

Chris

Pretzel sundae is insanely good, half size is still really big

@JaumePrimero

best chocolate egg cream I've had in New York. Also, order the sundae with caramel and pretzels , damn its huge but good!

Taylor

Can't go wrong. The floats are great, order off the menu or make one up.

Grace Lee

The chocolate egg cream is interesting, but I personally wouldn't order it again. The sundaes are good. Had the Cookie Monster and Sir Twixalot

Sean Smith

Old fashioned egg creams , sodas and some of the best strawberry ice cream I have ever had.

Selin Özdemir

Brownie Sundae was delicious but waitors are not that friendly . Felt a bit uncomfy with service and seating. Place was empty and waitors was a bit rude seating empty tables because we’re 2.

Chelsea Balkan

#FabuLIST #DubiDO such a cute place! Love the milkshakes and floats . Great lunch options like grilled cheese and pastrami on rye .
