★★★★★ 5.0 Amy F · Oct 2025

Best place around! Had the delight of speaking with the owner, Patty, when we went in. She was scooping ice cream so her worker could have the day off. Gave us the history of the place as her father owned the pharmacy and soda fountain there. She is usually the chef and can be found in the kitchen during the week. She makes everything from scratch daily so if you have allergies she knows exactly what's in the menu items. The ice cream is top notch and the nostalgia can't be beat. There is a lot of history displayed throughout so if you're a history buff you'll learn a lot about the area on your visit; especially if you say hello to Patty! Prices are the best in the county! Great place for families, couples, or the solo person looking for a quiet respite and a quick bite. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this place. You can get old fashioned phosphates, malts and real shakes. They have sandwiches, souos, and salads. They ONLY accept cash so be sure to have it at hand.

Adorable classic soda shoppe. This is a great place to stop for a quick lunch or snack and a delicious sweet treat that’s a blast from the past. Kid friendly, great service and a wonderful chef behind the counter. The prices are hard to beat too.

Nice place. Food was different from what I'm used to. I'm not saying it was bad, just different. I ordered the beef, cheddar, and onions. A half order would have been plenty of food for me. The chicken salad has cranberries mixed in. Next time, I'll try a shake or float. Prices are very reasonable.

We stopped by yesterday for lunch. As usual, the place was pleasantly busy with regulars. The food was incredibly well priced, the staff was friendly and the dining room experience brings you back to a simpler time. We love Lipkas!
