Old-school apothecary turned ice cream parlor serving impossibly large sundaes & classic egg creams.
Will Hartman reviews Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain, a Carroll Gardens soda fountain famous for its over-the-top ice cream sundaes and egg creams, served in a unique, old-timey apothecary setting.
Step back in time at this charming Carroll Gardens establishment, a former apothecary transformed into a beloved soda fountain. It's renowned for its incredibly generous and creatively topped ice cream sundaes, made with high-quality, velvety ice cream. Beyond sundaes, they also serve classic egg creams and milkshakes, all within a nostalgic, old-timey atmosphere perfect for a sweet treat.
This American soda fountain is highly praised for its ice cream, particularly its elaborate sundaes and classic milkshakes. Customers rave about the quality of the ice cream itself, often noting it as 'velvety,' and specific recommendations include the S'mores hot chocolate, maple walnut ice cream, and a notable Cherry Lime Rickey. While the focus is on ice cream and sundaes, one mention suggests a limited selection of only three ice cream flavors.
"Customers highly recommend the ice cream sundaes, noting their large size and quality ingredients like housemade caramel. Other favored items include the S'mores hot chocolate, maple walnut ice cream, milkshakes, and the Cherry Lime Rickey."
Customers generally have a very positive sentiment towards this establishment, frequently recommending it for its unique ice cream creations and classic soda fountain experience. Many highlight the quality of ingredients and the nostalgic atmosphere.
