The tart berries cut through the sweetness of the cheesecake flavors. The staff were warm and cheerful and as sweet as the candy next door. I felt like a long lost friend upon arrival. I enjoy the cozy & old fashioned atmosphere of the Soda Fountain Shoppe. The building is an impressive 150 years old and was a traditional mercantile/general store. It feels both old and yet familiar to me. Even the restroom was clean & tidy. With a price as yummy as their treats I feel I'm likely to return often.

Great selection of pies, cheesecakes and other goodies. We brought a total of 15 pies over the course of two visits. Nothing disappointed. They were all delicious!! Tired berry, apple, pecan, key lime, banana cream, chocolate and a few others. All very tasty. This was a great find. Pies are reasonably priced. If you have never tried Kathy's Pies, you should. A little something for everyone. There are even sugar free pies. This is the place to go for dessert!!

I got a small twist ice cream and it was yummy! Not as chocolate-y as other places, but I didn't mind! My boyfriend got a small hot fudge sundae & was also yummy (had to sneak a few bites in). Both were plentiful and yummy and enough to where our tummy's didn't hurt on our drive back home. Their drive thru was busy but they were working fast to get their ice cream orders out. I would like go say our orders were simple, and they were done pretty fast as well. This stop is perfect for a hot summer day!

Don't be put off by the "popcorn" in the title. We went for the ice cream. There's a great variety and everything we tried was delicious. Our crew tried the buttered pecan, the raspberry-lemon Italian ice, and Hailey's comet. Be aware that one scoop is a huge serving here. Service was really friendly and helpful. There's a few tables inside, a row of chairs outside along the front, and a couple of tables and chairs in a side courtyard. We did not try the popcorn but a lot of people were buying it.

It tasted very artificial and like a water down drink. My hubby didn't drink it at all. The lavender milk tea (50% sweet) was not too bad. The chai milk tea was pretty good. The chocolate cookies n cream was good also. One thing is the boba was not fresh. They tasted old. I believe all drinks are made with powdered cream (as the base for "milk"). Sadly to say I will not be returning. At least not for the drinks. I might try their rolled ice cream.....might...
