Remember stocking up on penny candy when you were a kid? Depending on when you grew up, that penny candy might have cost you an actual penny, or you might have paid a bit more — a quarter, for example. Sip a flavored soda; grab your favorite penny candy; and embrace a little taste of yesteryear at this old-school soda fountain in Pennsylvania.
Tucked on a corner in Weissport, Chantilly Goods hearkens back to a simpler time when kids went to soda fountains after school and flavored sodas were shared on first dates.
Today, Chantilly Goods — a soda fountain with ice cream and a candy shop — allows us to shut the door on the 21st century, at least for a few minutes, and to indulge in old-fashioned goodness.
The soda fountain also scoops up such classics as ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, and ice cream in 27 scrumptious flavors. You can even bring your pooch along for a delicious doggie sundae.
Once you've ordered, grab a seat at one of the tables where you can let your imagination flow. Pick up a piece of chalk and create a masterpiece on your table.
We can't forget one of the best parts of a soda fountain either, can we? Save time to pick out all of your favorite candy from yesteryear, including honey sticks. What's your favorite flavor?
Stroll down Memory Lane at Chantilly Goods Ice Cream Shoppe, open Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.
