Old Town Slidell Soda Shop

Looks great. Very average tasting ice cream. No presentation. Plastic cups. Make your own at home with better ice cream and real whipped cream. Disappointed.

I used to come here as a kid, and decided to revisit as an adult.
The servers are really friendly and the atmosphere can’t be beat. There is a whole smattering of menu options, all of which are pretty tasty. Unfortunately, the servers messed up my order and I didn’t realize until I had left, hence the ⁴⁄₅ star review.
Still would recommend, though!

Have only gone there twice but that’s only because I must resist. It sure brings back some great childhood memories. The ice cream is fantastic. The place is clean and the atmosphere is fun.

This is the cutest freaking place ever. I loved it. So perfect. Perfect little shop. You imagine a soda shop to be like this. We went during the towns little art street festival. Loved loved loved. Will go back.

Cute little old-​time soda shop in the heart of historic downtown Slidell. The kids enjoyed the ice cream as well as looking at the memorialize on the walls. I had an old fashioned ice cream soda with creole cream cheese ice cream and cherry syrup. It was wonderful.

Awesome ice cream shop, excellent place to take the whole family. A must visit if you’re in the area. They have this very old shooter game, very fun to play. They now have a Star Wars pinball machine. My daughter (3 yr old) loves to play this fishing game, all you do is hit the button to lower your hook and catch the fish, very fun and you win tickets to trade in four candy. This place is awesome! The ice cream is very delicious.

This place is wonderful! It’s an old time ice cream shop. The ice cream is made in house (or locally). It is a must for anyone. We make it a point to stop by once a month. Great selections and service! It’s a nice way to top off a dinner in town.

Stepping into this Old Town Soda Shop is certainly like stepping back in time, the owners have done a fantastic job at recreating memory lane from the décor to the homemade ice cream and sodas. I have a love hate with these ice cream counters that create their own unique flavors especially when I know this trip may be the only opportunity to indulge in their goodness. Fortunately for me they were very willing to share samples to help make the decision process easier.
After trying several flavors it was oblivious that I would need to pick one, after browsing for a few more minutes it was clear the banana chocolate chip on a sugar cone was going to be my flavor of the day. One giant scoop packed into a sugar come so creamy and delicate nothing beats this homemade goodness. I am so glad we chose to carry these out and continue our trip otherwise I may have chosen a second scoop to validate my first choice. The service was exceptional the location is not very far off the interstate and so worth the short drive into old downtown. I highly recommend you take your driving break here you’ll be better for it.

Pros:
— yummy frito pies and great chili — the awesome kind without pinto beans
— plenty of seating
— games available to play with the family (checkers & chess)
— a handful of novel flavors (the creole cream cheese was like a fancy smooth vanilla)
— an impressive collection of ice cream scoopers hanging on the wall
— a fun retro ice cream shop ambiance
— friendly and attentive staff
— ice cream cups (when eating in the store) come in awesome metal ones like the olden days
Cons:
— The ice cream flavors were good, but not very unique or memorable given the price ($ 3.30 for a small scoop).

The Olde Town Soda Shop is very cool & has some character. The ice cream is delicious (and homemade) and the other foods, like burgers and fries are also good.
Only reason I left off one star is because it is quite pricey here.
Great place to bring your family or to hang out with some friends.

Only place for coffee and ice cream on Sunday afternoon in old town Slidell. Great spot, very nostalgic. All they need is an espresso machine.

Best place in Slidell to get ice cream!

this place is so adorable. I love places like this. why wasn’t this place around when I used to come here monthly??? WHY? lol. anyway dragged my grandma here last night once I saw this on Unilocal and it was beyond delicious. we ate at so many ice cream places this vacation and this was probably my favorite. I hope to be back before I head back home… chocolate chip you will be mine!

Not exactly a «soda» shop, they do happen to have the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted though!

Such an amazing shop that brings you back in time. Perfect for families, friends, and dates. The muffalata is huge and completely worth the money. So rare to find an ice cream shop that makes their own flavors, but the flavors are spot on! You can also get creative and make your own soda float with whatever flavor ice cream you want. An awesome place in Slidell!

We stopped by on Father’s Day to try this little spot. It was fantastic. We ordered a Vanilla MilkShake («white cow»): Root beer float («Black Cow») and a hybrid scoop (bubble gum/​cotton candy). All the ice cream had a unique creamy texture. We later found out all the ice cream, soda and whipped cream (among other things) are all made fresh in the shop daily. There is food available — cook to order; as well as Sundaes, Splits, Ice cream Sodas and Louisiana favorites like Sneux Balls year round.
Pros: this shop is nostalgic and it’s something out of the movies in a 1950’s type of way. Great for anyone who likes to listen to tunes off a juke box while eating an «All American Meal» (This is on their menu– Hamburger, fries and Milk Shake) or just in the mood for a cool treat on a warm summer night. Staff is great, welcoming and fast to deliver.
Con: Um… Nope, not a one. =)

What a step back in time. The Old Town Slidell Soda Shop has character. You will see a juke box like the one you would see on an episode of Happy Days:) Several old ice cream scoopers line the wall where the booths are located. The vinyl booths are another old classic. Now the best part is the homemade ice cream which was delicious. You can choose to have a cone (sugar or regular) or a cup of ice cream in so many yummy flavors. This is a must see and visit. The customer service was phenomenal the young man working today was very pleasant. Treat your self to a blast from the past… truly nostalgic.

I absolutely love the old timey feel of this place once you walk inside. As soon as you walk in you feel like you are in a time warp. Not in a seperate drinking fountains kind of way but more like Marty McFly ordering a Pepsi Free kind of way. Once you open the door there is a big juke box full of old (and new) songs, and an old fashioned soda counter with 20 ish flavors of homemade ice cream, The guy behind the counter greets you complete with apron and paper hat. He spit’s a 50’s soda fountain look if you can look past his tattoo’d sleaves.
The ice cream is great! The texture is perfect! When you ask for a scoop in a cup, you get an old school metal ice cream cup that stays cold while you eat it. My daughters got bubble gum, cookies and cream, and cookie dough. All were great. They even had a flavor called Playdoh and it looked just like a bunch of different colors of Play-​Doh mixed together. I tried to convince my kids to get it to no avail.
Me? I just had an old fashioned nectar soda. So good. The only bad part is I got the smaller one as I wished for more. I guess I’ll just have to go again.
We enjoyed out treats at one of their booths while playing checkers that happened to be at the table. Each booth also has their own Jukebox but none worked so maybe it’s just for decoration. There is also a video game room for the kids to spend more of your money.
The only drawback is it’s in Old Town next to a burnt down building and a few bars. The area could be way cooler if they’d fix it up a bit. I’ll be back to get my nectar soda fix and to make a kid eat Play-​Doh

It’s a rare thing to see a retro styled soda shop. Old Town Slidell Soda Shop is one of those rare places. Adorned in dozens and dozens of ice cream scoops on the walls, here you can get some old school dessert. Ice cream? Check. Toppings? Check. Floats? Check. Sundaes? Banana Splits? Double check. House made sodas? Check.
I’m sorry, are you diabetic? They even have no sugar added ice creams and sundaes. I’m really digging this place and wish I was in Slidell more just to visit the Soda Shop. I only tried the ice cream sundae and not the typical café style food. For me this is the kind of place to finish off the night, especially after having dinner across the street at Tacos and Beer.
Next time I’m in Slidell I’ll make a special stop just to visit the Soda Shop.

The Soda Shop is a great place to grab a bite to eat. I’m particularly fond of the chicken salad sandwiches here. They also serve hamburgers, roast beef, BLTs and hot dogs… your typical small café type of fare. The real star here is the ice cream. It’s all made there in the shop and its so creamy and delicious. They have shakes and malts of any flavor you can imagine. Banana splits and root beer floats… oh my.
They also give fantastic birthday parties for children. For around $ 200.00 you’ll get a private room, a party attendant who takes care of everything, a cake, decorations including the cups, napkins, etc., ice cream sundaes for each child and drinks. I’ve had several parties here and barely had to lift a finger. They take great care to make sure that your child AND you thorougly enjoy the party.
