AS COOL AS ICE CREAM!
Back in the day soda fountain spots where the hottest thing. But now they aren't as common as they once were. I knew of one when I was living in Florida that I frequented every once in a while.
I had heard some rumors about Crestwood Pharmacy closing, but now am assuming that is a lie. Taylor has an very good thing going here. With six years in business I do not see this spot closing its doors anytime in the near future. The typical split store with the pharmacy on one side and the ice cream/soda fountain on the other side.
When we came inside, I was only planning on looking around but after I was given the menu (all bets were off). I winded up ordering something simple the Coke float. Which came with vanilla ice cream and one of those tall glass bottles of Mexican coke.
I don't know about you, but I have feeling that Coca Cola tastes the best when it comes from a glass bottle and not a can or a plastic bottle. Not sure if this is just me, but it's how I prefer to drink Coca Cola on the occasion that I do.
I believe that Taylor's wife was the woman serving me at the ice cream counter. She had a list of all of the flavors of ice cream they were offering. I have to say there were some wild flavors on that menu. But the ones that I did try and loved were chocolate moon pie and king cake. Two very different flavors, but they worked well with ice cream.
This spot is so neat, the split store is an interesting concept and very different from anything else you would find. They definitely have their regular customers for the pharmacy and know them on a first name basis.
I loved my experience here and will come back for sure. Vibes are great, people are personable, organization is key, ice cream is delicious. Whose to complain?
