    These are the hours on May 15, 2021.

    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!

    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!

    "You should get the starry night in a waffle cone with gummies on top!"- 5 yr old fan Delicious ice cream. Great service! (Ask about the connection between ice cream & pharmacy.)

    YALL! This place has the BEST sundaes, shakes, and floats. We went four times during our recent trip to Salida, and were so pleased every time! The brulee'd Twinkie is INSANE and we will be recreating it at home.

    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!

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

We come up every other weekend to visit family, and this is a place we keep coming back to. The sandwiches are really good and consistently high quality every time. They are on the pricier side, but you can easily split one, which makes it a great option to share. The menu has a ton of options--it can feel a little overwhelming at first--but honestly, you can't go wrong. We've tried quite a few, and every single one has been great in its own way. Pro tip: during the summer, the line can wrap around the block. If you don't want to wait 30-40 minutes, ordering online is definitely the move. Also, don't skip their bars--they're absolutely amazing. Perfect to grab for later if you're heading out on a hike, or just enjoy it right there. Highly recommend grabbing a sandwich and taking it down to the river--that's honestly the best part of the whole experience.

All the drinks were excellent. We especially liked the Nitro and Flash brewed coffee. The profile was rich, full body and balanced; very refreshing and drinkable. The Nitro was, of course, a bolder, richer flavor of the two. They were some of the best iced coffees I've tasted. The shop offers many varieties of whole bean, single origin and blended coffees from Corvus Rosters; which they will gladly grind for you. They also have lots of specialty food, body products, and gift items for sale along with a vinyl record section. For excellent coffee, friendly service and a nice shop to browse while waiting for your drinks, Howl Mercantile is awesome. They also have a few tables indoors and outside.

Our guests couldn't stop raving about the ice cream and the friendly service; they loved snapping photos with the truck, which became a delightful backdrop for many of our wedding pictures. A particularly touching moment was when Cindy graciously set up a picture of my husband's late grandparents next to the truck. His grandparents adored ice cream, and knowing that they left him money for dessert at his wedding made having Blue Truck Ice Cream there even more special. Overall, the kindness and dedication of the Blue Truck Ice Cream team truly made our dessert a sweet ending to an unforgettable day.
