Eli’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream & Soda Shop In Utah Will Transport You To Another Era

Do you ever feel nostalgic for the old days, maybe even from a time long before you were alive? It would have been fun to live in an era when the local soda fountain served up tasty ice cream cones, sundaes, and shakes. That time is long gone, but there's an adorable old-fashioned ice cream shop in Payson that's located in a historic building, and it looks just like we imagine those old-time soda fountains did.

You'll find Eli's right on Payson's Main Street. It's located in a building that once housed Payson's first bank.

Step inside, and be transported back to a simpler time, when patrons weren't too distracted by their cell phones to order their sundae or cone from the soda jerk.

We're not trying to be mean about the kid who once made the ice cream sodas...his job title really was "soda jerk."

You'll love the historic details of this building. Can you imagine its history? Don't forget to look up at the restored ceiling...

...and check out the bank vault that's still here.

Peer inside to see stacks of money and "gold bars." Did this bank actually have that much cash and gold on hand? We're not sure, but one thing we know is that now that this space is Eli's, it has plenty of ice cream on hand!

The friendly staff is waiting behind the counter for you to make your decision.

So, what will it be? A double-dip cone...

...a tasty shake...

...or a huge sundae to share with a friend?

No matter what you end up with, you're certain to love the delicious ice cream, excellent service, and historic surroundings at this adorable ice cream shop.
