What a joy to step back in time and experience a thoughtful update all in one visit! It's been over…read more30 years since I last saw the soda fountain in Chester, and walking into Rusty Chandelier brought back all the nostalgia--while impressing me with some much-needed updates that make the space even more inviting and functional. I loved seeing the classic soda fountain still holding court, now complemented by a dedicated ordering station, a convenient pick-up area, and plenty of comfy seating for guests to relax and enjoy. Coming from the city and working in North Lake Tahoe, I half-expected boutique pricing (especially in a seasonal vacation town), but I was pleasantly surprised. My mother-in-law and I couldn't stop grabbing treasures--home decor, gifts, little finds--and we were both stunned at how reasonable everything was when we checked out. It felt like shopping the way it should be. After we shopped to our heart's content, we stopped at the soda fountain/coffee bar to celebrate our finds. Jody recommended the affogato when we couldn't make up our minds, and wow--it was divine. That little sweet pick-me-up was the cherry on top of a perfect visit. The store itself is beautifully decorated, well-organized, and thoughtfully laid out. I especially appreciated the changes designed to streamline the space during busier times--it's clear that Jody and her team are thinking ahead and working hard. We were greeted warmly the moment we walked in and felt welcome the entire time. I've seen a few cranky reviews lately, and frankly, I don't get it. If you've never worked in hospitality or the service industry, maybe don't rush to critique. Creating a space like this--and running it well--is no easy task. Jody and her team are doing a fantastic job, and it shows in every detail. I live about two hours away, but I'll definitely be back! I'm especially excited to check out some of the upcoming classes and the holiday decor as the seasons change. Rusty Chandelier is the kind of place you want to share with your friends--and I plan to do just that

Been going to the soda fountain for over 40 years. The Rusty Chandelier is the name for the…read moreformer Lassen Drug. My friends and family have also been going here for 40+ years. Once ownership changed, the service went downhill. For the past several years, we kept given it another try and another chance - always leaving feeling sad for the old fountain, and the sweet teens that worked hard and were kind, the wait was always worth it. Unfortunately the owner, and this isn't a one time thing, but every year since opening, our family and friends have repeatedly been treated rudely. I used to think maybe she was having a bad day...but it keeps happening. You end up feeling like you're in the way, unwanted, or wasting her time. I used to think it won't last ....they will be out of business.....it's 2026 and it's still open. This is the 1st year we didn't go. :( The recipes are different - shakes are smaller and you get treated poorly. Might be better off going to Jeffroes produce for a shake, or pine shack frosty. I hope things will improve at the Rusty, but for now it's not worth dealing with the owner. I hope she gets better. The feedback is very consistent. RIP Lassen Drug.
