I've been coming here for about 3 months now, and I love them! Zahra is the kindest pharmacist I've ever met. Ava is wonderful, and so are Sammy and Brina. I feel very fortunate to know them, and I'm always happy to come back. I think I recently left another review for them, but they were so kind to me and my GF when we saw them yesterday, I just felt like giving them a little more love via Google. ❤️

Great place to visit, been open over 100 years. Ice-cream soda is $10 but shareable.

Fair Oaks Pharmacy (est 1915) is a family owned and the oldest landmark in South Pasadena. It’s a vintage corner shop that offer soda fountain, ice cream, candy, toys, merch & pharmacy shop on Fair Oaks avenue. I have walked past by this shop for years and never actually walk-inside until today. The best place to enjoy a sundae, shake, banana split or simple cone is a vintage soda shoppe. Once you step through the doors at Fair Oaks there is a distinctively different vibe. Staff were energetic and friendly. I’m glad a visited this shop. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and I recommend them.

110 year old soda fountain still making sarsaparilla the old fashioned way. It’s like stepping back in time. Ice cream is Thrifty’s. Who doesn’t love Thrifty’s ice cream? And just about every retro candy and tchotchke you can imagine.
