Join us as we explore the best old-fashioned soda shops in the Hawkeye State! Old Time Soda Fountain — Allerton Step into the heart of Allerton and discover the Old Time Soda Fountain, a cherished gem with its classic white-topped counter, vibrant red stools, and timeless black and white tiled floors. Rescued by a devoted local non- profit, this 1800s landmark thrives under the care of passionate volunteers, offering a taste of history with every fountain drink, frosty root beer, malt, or sundae served. A visit here is a journey back in time, wrapped in the warmth of community spirit. The Farmacy Soda Fountain & Coffee House — Ida Grove The Farmacy Soda Fountain & Coffee House in Ida Grove is a delightful fusion of classic ice cream charm and modern coffee culture. Restored to its original splendor, it offers the community a unique blend of phosphate drinks, root beer floats, sundaes, and malts, complemented by exquisite lattes, espresso drinks, and sweet pastries! Sweet Mercantile — Cedar Rapids Nestled in the heart of The District: Czech Village & New Bohemia, Sweet Mercantile is Cedar Rapids’ go-to for indulging sweet cravings.
