Small town feel ,with lots of varieties of snack foods to enjoy. Pretzel was soooo good!! Friendly people.

An old fashioned ice cream and soda bar. Candy, snacks, and games in a vintage setting. Our family is thankful to have this treat in town!

This place is too cute! They have an amazing selection of sweets - from ice cream flavors to unique drinks to hard to find candies. Def stop here if you’re going to Blue Hole! I love love love the murals :)

The store was great, and the staff was kind and inviting, but the ice cream was just some blue bunny ice cream, so not as good as I wanted. Still a cool place, though.

This little spot is so cute and a must stop for Santa Rosa. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an old 50’s soda fountain and my kids loved it. The only constructive criticism I have is to encourage the teenagers that work there to get off the cell phones and engage with the customers more.
