Great ole fashion pharmacy and old time soda fountain! Love the layout and rustic interior. Can get a treat while getting your prescriptions or medical needs. They have a dairy free chocolate shake that is out of this world. read more

The ambiance of this spot alone is worth the visit! It's unique to have a pharmacy and soda fountain shop all-in-one. It feels like a step back in time in the absolute best way! Points for the fun atmosphere! I ordered a cherry ice cream float and they made everything in house. 1. The ice cream was to dieeee for! So creamy and just what you'd want out of a vanilla soft ice cream. 2. The cherry soda lacked flavor. It felt like I was sipping bubbly water. Maybe next time I'll order with extra syrup? Or forgo the soda part & stick to ice cream only. Overall, this was a pleasant experience & something to check out on your visit to Salida! read more

What a super fun place! A combination pharmacy / soda fountain!!! I went for the soda fountain, but we had mixed reviews. We ordered 2 floats, root beer and orange. The root beer was fantastic, while the orange just wasn't good (tasted like soda water with the tiniest splash of orange). On the plus side the orange was made by hand though! read more

Friendly staff. Terrific ice cream. We went there twice for different flavors. The ice cream is not really hard. More on the soft side. Easy to eat. We happened to get the timing right. No line. read more

Pretty Good! Great for if you want a shake! The ice cream is also decent with me just getting a vanilla and friend a strawberry shake. It gets busy! Most of the time the line is long but it's worth the wait! All staff are very friendly and the vibes of ice cream smell floating through the air is amazing! read more

I make it a point to try a different ice cream shop every time I'm in Salida. This was my latest pick. The rest of my family had ice cream cones (I sampled all of them and they were delicious) and I had a chocolate milk shake that was one of the best I've ever had. They are a little slower, but it's an old school shop (plus teenagers manning the counter) so things take a bit longer. Great to stop and grab a treat before you walk around to look at shops or take a stroll in the park by the river. read more

They have the best ice cream in town. A flavor is changed week to week. I also have waffle cones, which I love.

If you are in Salida, you have to stop in for an old fashioned shake or drink. Don't expect it fast - it takes time to make one the old fashioned way. It's worth the wait. We loved everything we tried. read more

Emily and Maya are the best! They are always helpful and friendly. I Highly recommend using them for your Pharamcy needs!

Excellent flavor in the ice cream, very clean place and excellent customer service, obviously I would return here again read more

Salida Pharmacy & Fountain - Hiker - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Salida, Colorado

Great ice cream -- not made here, but by a place in Colorado Springs -- in a variety of flavors. Classic preparations served up in a classic building right in the heart of town. In addition to the malts, shakes, and sundaes, they had egg creams, which is like straight out of a 50s movie. Very friendly and hard working service. Be warned that the sundaes meant for sharing are good for 3-4 people ... it was a bit shocking for just two of us. read more

Delicious ice cream. I had pistachio and Cappuccino chocolate chip and both were excellent. Lots of nuts in the pistachio. Lots of chips in the Cappuccino. Perfect texture. So many delicious Sundays going by too. It's cool that the pharmacy is in the back just like an old soda fountain. read more

It's Saturday and the ice cream shop is open (despite what TripAdvisor says). The hours on TripAdvisor are the pharmacy hours, which are different from the ice cream shop. They employ local students! read more

Salida Pharmacy & Fountain - These are the hours on May 15, 2021. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Salida, Colorado

Truly amazing milkshakes! We had the pleasure of staying in little Salida over the summer and so enjoyed our stay and visiting all of the cool restaurants and shops. This milkshake shop in particular was hard to forget. They have amazing combinations that you can order or you can make your own. I got one with banana and chocolate, a classic combo, so good! Only 2 employees were working and it was super busy! They were running around and doing their best to take care of everyone best as possible. If you're in town, definitely plan to make a stop here to enjoy a shake! read more

Salida Pharmacy & Fountain - an ice cream sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Salida, Colorado

New biz alert! Salida keeps getting cooler every day, especially with a new soda fountain downtown. Normally when I visit the area, The Biker & Baker are the go-to dessert spot. However, they are closed on Sundays and I can't go to bed without something sweet. Walking back to the car, I saw the lights on at Salida Pharmacy & Fountain and figured, "Why not?" It's just like an old-timey ice cream counter should be (I imagine, they're a little before my time): plenty of shakes, sundaes, malts and even egg creams. I will warn you that one regular shake could satisfy two adults. easy. And it would be very wholesome to see two people sipping out of the same glass. I didn't know this before heading inside and ended up not drinking like, half of my shake. But it was good! Very family friendly, both with the customers and owners. We chatted with the gals behind the counter, who were joined by their parents, kids and spouses. Very small town in all the good ways. If you love ice cream and nostalgia, head on over! read more

I've used the pharmacy for 3.5 years and have been mostly happy with their services. They switched ownership more than 1 year ago. I've noticed a big change in their customer courtesy, which appears to me as significantly worsened. The Pharmacy tech has been rude when calling for questions or refills. Yesterday was the final straw for me, telling me she was too busy to help me. The pharmacists have been nice and professional, however. Nevertheless, I decided to switch pharmacies because the tech is not customer friendly and has a negative attitude towards her customers. read more

Fantastic ice cream in a timeless atmosphere. I highly recommend. They offer a number of flavors including shakes, sodas, and cones. The staff is super friendly. read more

This is the second time (several months apart) when we entered and we were not even greeted at the door. While my 7 year old son was trying to ask a question the older short haired lady interrupted him to talk to someone else. The ice cream was good but customer service is lacking. It's no surprise this place isn't busy. read more

solid joint...root beer taste like sunscreen, so if your into that type of thing, suit yourself

Cool little place. Ordered a root beer float. Ice cream was good but it definitely wasn't root beer...

I came here twice for malts - both times were excellent. I got both the chocolate and vanilla malts. It had a great old time feel and had very good ice cream, so this was just what I wanted! read more

It is fine to have COVID policies, but there is no excuse for screaming the F word at a patient. Went to get a COVID test and they demanded I fill out a form they never sent. When I went in to ask for help, the nurse refused to give it to me. When I complained aboutthe nurse and pharmacist both screamed at me and told me to "get the f@#& out before I call the cops." Very rude and disrespectful. I understand people are stressed right now but there is no excuse for this behavior. Also, $75 is exorbitant for a rapid test. This outfit is taking advantage of a small town with few options. read more

You would have thought I was competing in an ice cream eating contest with my frequency of visits here in one week. My husband and I love soda fountains and this is now our favorite. This ice cream is incredible. The menu has so many good choices (hence the multiple visits). The Spartan was an awesome float. The honeycomb ice cream was a perfect balance to the blueberry soda and was the best float I've ever had. The second trip I enjoyed the Mirkwood shake. The white chocolate morsels were small enough to fit through the straw and the toasted marshmallow on top was a treat. The staff was great, making everything with care. The menu had awesome choices. Sorry, no photo...I devoured my desserts too quickly! read more

Most delicious old fashioned soda fountain with phosphates and fizzes and all that! Carefully presented, they looked straight out of a photo book. Tasted great too. I tried the Big Easy soda and the Bananas Foster remix special; my 8 year old loved the Cookie Monster sundae. I think the jerks who work there should have bow ties and aprons, but hey, that's me... read more

Visiting one of my favorite towns in Colorado. After dinner and walking back to our car. An unexpected surprise to see a classic soda fountain that will satisfy a craving for something sweet. Had a black and white milkshake made with high quality ice cream. Friendly staff and welcoming interior. read more

I was really excited to try this place but was somewhat disappointed. The girl that took my order seemed less than thrilled to be there and couldn't really answer my questions. My float was "ok" but a little pricey. Fun experience and super cute shop! read more

Best service EVER! The pharmacists are prompt, the staff is helpful & there's never a long line or wait. I'd give 10 stars if I could!

Good ice cream, but walked in with a dog day 1, dog friendly to order and leave. Walked in 2nd day, and ego tripping non hospitable guy said no dogs allowed. read more

Stopped in here a day after riding bicycles. Like how they are open late. My husband ordered the chocolate mint and I ordered the cookies and cream. Very creamy and delicious. read more

Friendly staff and wonderful ice cream. Great choice of flavors and ways to eat it. Highly recommend toasted coconut.
