The Nostalgia Of Dining At The Timeless Megan’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor In Iowa Will Bring You Right Back To Childhood

Megan's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor in Fort Madison, Iowa, offers a nostalgic soda shop experience with a variety of delicious ice cream flavors and savory sandwiches.

When it comes to ice cream, you can purchase almost every flavor imaginable at most grocery stores. But it wasn't always like that. Stores used to be limited in their offerings, so to get something truly unique and delicious, people would head to the soda shops.

Today, there's something that's still nostalgic about walking up to an ice cream bar and placing an order for an indulgent sundae or milkshake and there's one spot in Iowa that does it best. If you haven't been to Megan's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor, now's your chance.

Megan's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor is a fully equipped, old-fashioned “soda shop” in Fort Madison, Iowa.

Owner, Brenda Derr, had initially opened up Dollhouse Dreams as a toy shop, but then saw an opportunity to use up some extra space from the storefront to serve delicious ice cream and food to visitors.

From specialty sundaes to Italian cream sodas, you’ll find everything your sweet tooth desires here!

All of their ice cream creations are incredibly delicious and you can choose from a variety of subtle flavors to be extra indulgent.

And of course, it wouldn't be a true old-school ice cream parlor if they didn't offer a banana split on the menu.

Speaking of the menu, they regularly change it to offer new and exciting weekly and daily specials.

In addition to ice cream, you can also order breakfast here.

Megan's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor also offers a savory sandwich list if you're looking for something a bit more hearty.

Whether it's summer or winter, Megan's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor is sure to delight your taste buds and will bring you a bit of nostalgia with its retro style.
