People Will Drive From All Over Colorado To The San Juan Soda Co., For The Nostalgia Alone
Do you remember the good old days of drug store soda fountains, ice-cold Coke for a nickel, and refreshing hand-spun shakes and floats for not much more? Sadly, these types of places are hard to come by in the 21st century, which is why Coloradans flock to the nostalgic San Juan Soda Co.
Located in Lake City, the San Juan Soda Co. is a Centennial State institution that has been serving its nostalgic treats since 1988.
Housed inside a c. 1870s building that has worn many hats over the years (including, ironically, a midcentury pharmacy and soda fountain), the San Juan Soda Co. will transport you back to a simpler time, beginning with its low-key ambiance complete with wooden barstools and original fixtures.
While the historical building is reason enough to visit, it's the novelties that steal the show, as the San Juan Soda Co. serves up all of your favorite treats!
