Such a cute little shop for ice cream and candy. They have many flavors of ice cream and had one of my faves - pistachio! I got one scoop in a waffle cone. Creamy and delicious. Friendly service and an arcade in the back. Next time maybe I'll get a root beer float if they sell those.

Nice old style soda shop with mini golf and an arcade. The ice cream was on point, although a little pricey. They could offer a smaller size for kids for shakes and such but only have 12 or 20 oz. for those. My main complaint is the allowance of someone's dog inside, which was NOT a service animal. I am all for service animals because they are specially trained. The other customer's dog was a house pet and again, NOT a service dog. To me, this is a potential violation of health code because it is a food serving establishment and should not allow pets and dogs inside where food is being consumed on premises. It's a concern for other customers who may have allergies or germ concerns. Additionally, other customer's dog licked on my small child because dog owner was not watching dog well. Now this is not the business's direct fault in my opinion, but they should look into enforcing a no pets policy inside. That's the only reason I docked 2 stars. I wouldn't dock a star for price point alone. Shop Owner maintains stock and atmosphere well and the presentation of the entry and seating is fun, like an old style soda shop. I will come back here. Ice cream was really good!

What a fun place! Like stepping back in time to a real soda shop.It was busy but service was quick! The portions are big and ice cream selection is awesome! We loved our milkshakes and checked out the arcade. Next time we will play putt putt!

We love going here after Thursday night dinner.The last couple weeks have not been pleasant. The girl that serves us never smiles and has this awful look on her. That look of why are you bothering me and the look of I hate my job. Are you serious you want me to serve you ice cream. Yeah that look! And when you are paying for a pint, you expect a pint not a half of a pint or less. Or we get the excuse that the shop is out of containers.

Cutest place for a date. The ice cream is delicious and priced fairly. The atmosphere is adorable and there is so much to do: mini golf, playing music on the juke boxes, and playing arcade games.

Walking into this ice cream soda shop was like stepping back in time! Beautifully decorated vintage soda bar. Jukeboxes at each table. Ice cream sundae was delicious.

This is a neat little shop. They have ice cream, candy, sundaes, banana splits, video games, and miniture golf. I wanted some ice cream concoction, but did not want any think big like a banana split. I opted to go with a banana sundae. I got carmel apple as the ice cream in it. You can get ice cream in various types of cones, a cup, or as a shake.The staff was very friendly and provided suggestions. She let me try a few samples until I was able to decided. The shop has a small dining area with booths and individual mini jukeboxes. There is also a small game room with video games and pinball machines. There is another room that is adjacent to that one that has coin operated kid rides. The shop is decorated like at 60's malt shop and has a classic vibe. I was really digging it.My ice cream was good, but it was very small. It filled about half of the cup. It also was a little light on toppings like the nuts. This is an OK shop. I was not wow'ed and it was average compared to other similar shops.

Good food and excellent service I had the catfish Po Boy, over stuffed, liked the looks of the old times bicycle shop, very accommodating, we had a baby with us.

Disappointed! We celebrated our twins' 4th princess birthday party at the Soda Shop. We chose the package "Princess Themed Party with visit from Princess". For two hours, plus the cost of the princess, I paid $550. The owner of the soda shop hosts the princess parties but had an emergency and couldn't host mine. Her staff stepped in and was absent most of my party. The lemonade and tea had residue in the containers. There was barely any ice for the drinks. The room was quite warm and there was no background music. I was left to host the party by myself because most the time I couldn't find the staff to help navigate the party. Yes, we did make an ice cream sundae and made the princess crown craft. We did NOT participate in old fashioned party games, the princess forgot the face glitter for the birthday girls, the princess did NOT sing multiple songs, the princess did NOT have a fairytale story time with the kids. When I asked the princess if she was going to sing songs during the party, she explained she was "sick", yes she used that word, and wanted to save her voice for one song at the end of the party. In trying to resolve my concerns with the soda shop, specifically with the owner, I was told twice I would receive a call back after the owner wanted to review the video tape to understand my concerns. Instead of apologizing for the missing services, the owner explained she knows her staff needs more training and that her staff was likely nervous as this was their first time hosting alone without her. How is this my problem? My party should not have been the guinea pig. I was left to navigate the party, mostly by myself, and I had no idea what to do. Our party was early April and it has taken 3 months for the owner to resolve my concerns by offering half-off my next birthday and 4 free passes to mini golf. I will never refer anyone to the soda shop for birthday parties. $550 is a lot of money for the little amount of services received. I can never get those memories back. As for the "sick" princess, the soda shop explained the princess is a separate add-on from what they provide. That her fee of $200 covers her time, maintenance of costume and wig (dry cleaning is $65) and goes towards her weekly vocal lessons. I don't care what the fee of $200 covers except the paid services I was expecting. The party is a Disney princess themed party. I was expecting multiple songs from the princess and I received one song, and yes, she did help open gifts with the birthday girls and braided one girl's hair. This princess is referred by the soda shop yet the soda shop is taking zero responsibility for her lack of services. Again, the princess forgot the face glitter for the birthday girls, the princess did NOT sing multiple songs, the princess did NOT have a fairytale story time with the kids and she admitted she was sick! I would have rather her cancel on my party than coming to the party, exposing kids with her sickness and not providing the services I paid for! Her company is called "Magical Moments by Bella". We ended up leaving our party 25 minutes early because everyone was standing around, staring at each other and the kids were BORED!
