    Egg cream soda (chocolate)
    Ken C.

    Take a step back in time at Green Line Apothecary when sodas were health tonics - what great fun this place is! I've often read in various mid-20th century reminiscences about egg creams, phosphates, and such tonics but never had a chance to try these by-gone soda fountain treats. Well, if you're in Wakefield, head on over to GLA and cool your heels at their comfy counter, admire their gorgeous tin-pressed ceiling, and watch them fulfill each order by hand. So we tried: a chocolate egg cream (very refreshing and rich), a lime rickey (also refreshing - this would be great on a hot summer day), and a chocolate phosphate (tangy and enlivening). All were thirst-quenching and revivifying after a long stroll about town and window-shopping - and fun! (The counter seating is especially conducive to striking up enjoyable casual conversations with other customers.) Their ice creams are also very good, rich and creamy - my daughters had a coffee ice cream shake and a chocolate sundae. Next time I'm going to have my benchmark fave: a chocolate ice cream soda! There is also a full-service pharmacy as part of GLA - and a section of retro-50's/60's toys and games which was a hoot to browse through.

    Really had a wonderful time went down to use my free ice cream coupon at the soda fountain from the passport I had bought for Food finds of Rhode Island. Posted several pictures in this post of the inside and outside of this apothecary the next time I'm gonna be going to the one I believe it's in Warwick. The people in the leas were very friendly there we even took pictures with them and the ice cream sodas were amazing

    Cutest place EVER

    I'm a huge fan of all things relating to the 50's (seriously, cast me as Frenchy in your production of Grease, everyone!), so our trip to the Green Line Apothecary today was just what the doctor ordered! This retro soda fountain / full service pharmacy is a blast from the past, and looks like somewhere the cast of Reefer Madness would be thrilled to hang out in. Belly up to the bar, and take your pick of a variety of house made sodas, next-level ice cream (the seasonal pick for March is made with real ginger!), and even quirky vintage treats like a tangy beverage called a phosphate. Fresh whipped cream, cherries, and sprinkles are complimentary, so go all out! It was especially refreshing to see that this stuff is the real deal - no aerosol cans at the Green Line! The soda jerk, the mid-century answer to a barista, makes everything on the menu fresh to order right before your very eyes. Tris was working the bar today when we went, and the friendly, engaging interactive nature of the experience was a highlight of the visit. Prepare to be dazzled by Tris's talent for throwing the scoops of ice cream in the air and catching them in the glass cups before they can fall on the floor. A treat for the eyes as well as the stomach! So cool! They also have paper hats that are essential to any Green Line soda fountain adventure - pop one on before you sit down, and take as many selfies as you want! For our inaugural visit, my boyfriend and I kept it simple with some housemade soda and coffee milk. I opted for the Diet Cola, which was a better and cleaner tasting answer to Diet Coke served in an adorable glass, and my boyfriend's coffee milk was a masterfully fresh tasting take on the Rhode Island classic. Prices are cheap, and quality is excellent. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, and I literally cannot wait to return! A true hidden RI gem, and one of the best spots in the state!

    What a sweet place! Beautiful products and a working pharmacy along with an ice cream soda bar. Clean & neat with lots of great choices for any kind of ice cream treat you may be looking for. Love the tables in the front windows or sitting at the bar, the kids can't wait to go back.

    Their fountain sodas and ice creams are delicious, plus their inventory of products are unique and lots are locally sourced.
