Is there anything more charming than an old school soda fountain? Sipping on a drink with friends and family in a historic atmosphere can make you feel like you’ve stepped back in a time machine to the 50’s, when visiting the local soda fountain was one of the coolest things you could do. It may feel like these establishments are dying out, but if you keep an eye out, there are still lots around that show no sign of going anywhere, and Delekta’s Pharmacy in Warren, Rhode Island is one of them.

The spot where Delekta's Pharmacy resides has been a business since 1858! Changing hands a few times over the years, it eventually came into the possession of the Delekta family in the 1940's.
