We all need a little bit of yesteryear - of simpler times - in our lives. And, nothing goes better with a little bit of nostalgia than a delicious ice cream sundae, a thick milkshake, or an old-fashioned flavored soda, right? When you need to step away from the busyness of the 21st century or you're just in the mood for a scrumptious treat, visit this old school soda fountain in Pennsylvania.
Step through the front door of The Franklin Fountain, in Philadelphia, where you'll feel as though you've journeyed back decades.
But, in reality, the charming soda fountain, the brainchild of brothers Eric and Ryan Berley, first opened at the tailend of the summer of 2004.
Still, The Franklin Fountain, brimming with authentic period pieces and named after Benjamin Franklin, will make you feel like you're back in the early 20th century and...
So will its menu. Browse the menu that's chock full of old-fashioned favorites. In the mood for a sundae? Try the homemade hot fudge, the classic banana split, or...
The Franklin Mint. The aptly-named sundae features vanilla bean and mint ice creams, chocolate syrup, and homemade whipped cream. (And, that's just the beginning!)
Of course, sometimes a scoop of ice cream just hits the spot. What kind will you choose? Chocolate chip, rocky road, and cotton candy are just a few of the options.
And, The Franklin Fountain didn't forget vegans either. Choose from a selection of vegan or sugar free ice creams.
Other delightful, old school treats served at The Franklin Fountain include milkshakes, ice cream sodas, and hand-drawn sodas.
Stroll down Memory Lane at The Franklin Fountain, open Sunday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m.
