Where better to enjoy the classic treat of ice cream than in classic surroundings? If you agree, we’ve got the place for you: J. Lauber’s Ice Cream Parlor in Wisconsin. A replica of drug store soda fountains from decades ago, this ice cream parlor is like a blast from the past. But the old-fashioned vibe isn’t all the place has going for it. There’s also a 4-page menu of sweet treats. Take a look:
Located in East Troy, J. Lauber’s Ice Cream Parlor opened in 1975 - and has been a favorite of locals and tourists for nearly as long.
The ice cream parlor may have opened in the 1970s, but when you step inside you’ll be transported much further back in time.
Fashioned after ice cream parlors from the 1920s, the interior of the shop features antique soda fountain equipment, vintage decor, old-fashioned wood booths, and...
...an ice cream counter.
To complete the nostalgic feel, there's a "penny" candy counter, where kids can spend their change on a variety of candy, including classics, like candy dots and rock candy.
Although, when it comes to sweets, the ice cream is the star of the show.
After perusing through the four-page menu, your only complaint will be that you have to make a decision.
The expansive sweet selection includes 20 flavors of malteds, as well as a variety of classics, like banana splits, and signature creations, like the Divine Word. (A chocolate lover's dream come true, it’s basically an all-chocolate banana split.)
So, are you ready to treat yourself with a visit to this old-fashioned ice cream parlor?
