The old-school soda fountain is the main event. Hand-jerked sodas in nearly 50 flavors, Blue Bell scoops, and soda jerks who still know how to make a proper egg cream if you ask correctly. Around it: thousands of candies packed floor-to-ceiling through a circus-themed shop that turns a quick stop into leaving with a paper sack full of things you forgot existed.
