Canaan Pharmacy

Great ready for a treat! Fair Oaks Pharmacy has been serving since 1915 and a great start/end to Route 66. Apart from the Soda fountain, they have a ‘Celebration of Pop Culture’ room with purchasable retro memorabilia from 50s to the 90s! Try out items like the Coca Cola Sundae or an old fashioned ice cream float, where else would you get them!

This place is one of the oldest buildings in Los Angeles. It even smells old. They are packed with candy, and nostalgic toys, even from my childhood in the early 80's in the Midwest. My hearty was so happy walking in, the artists did a great job with the atmosphere the moon and rain clouds. really well done. Definitely will be back.

Love this place! Great atmosphere, delicious ice cream treats made with care by the awesome staff. Do yourself a favor and get a malt milkshake. A little pricey but worth it. Haven't ever tried the food here, I've only had the desserts. Don't come here if you're in a rush. There is often a long line, seating area fills up fast and it closes early, so plan accordingly. I've seen some reviews saying the ice cream is, "Just okay." Compared to what? Rite Aid? If you're not looking for ice cream with an experience, go back to Vons and get your pint for home. This place is a treasure.

Such a unique and fun place! We were welcomed by 2 friendly staff members who were helpful with it being our 1st time there. I paid $3 for a 1 scoop cone! I was blown away by the size and how affordable it was. Lots of cute toys and books for kids. The food menu sounded great! I'll be getting something from their next time support local! They're awesome. Update: they have amazing french fries! We got the regular. And the banana split sundae was superb. The ice cream was so smooth and had a great taste. They truly never disappoint 5/25/21 THEY RE-OPENED ABOUT TIME heh. I've been waiting months and so glad they're back. Serving ice cream only right now, no food from the restaurant. Our visit was great, got the bubble gum flavor. Their was only 1 girl serving today. Felt a little bad since it got busy and people left I did not mind waiting at all. Told her to take her time : great service as always. Can't wait for the kitchen to open!

Fair Oaks Pharmacy is a classic location. Ice cream parlor with a real pharmacy. Brings back nostalgic feelings of the old days. They have a great selection of desserts, the portions are huge, be for warned. The ice cream is very average tasting, not to say it taste bad. They also have a selection of regular food, such as burgers and fries. The rest of the pharmacy has toys and gifts, nicnacs and other Route 66 related merchandise. I appreciate the old games and toys, the stuff you may had found in the 50’s. The atmosphere is so delightful. Fun for a date, family or just friends getting together to eat the most expensive dessert I’ve ever seen “the sink” costing a whopping $35. See picture below

This is a really cute old school soda bar/fountain. I love how they sell little toys and candy in the store. There’s a compounding pharmacy in the back that makes a phosphate solution for their sodas. The staff are extremely nice here and I loved learning about their story and chatting with them.

Love to visit this whimsical place whenever im in town. Best ice cream ever. The junior banana split can be shared by 2 people. The decor is decorated with old toys and candy all for sale that was a staple growing up. Christmas is a nice time to visit with so many themed Christmas trees. Highly recommend.There are times that they're super busy, but the staff are troopers and are always so friendly.

Came here for a Hot Fudge Sundae $10 and it was just ok. It's no longer served in the old tulip sundae glass using plastic instead. Also they no longer serve hot food and their Ice cream menu has been slimmed down. I wouldn't come back until they regain their old form.

Went in late, around 4:45. 2 People walking out. Someone said they ran out of ice cream. The girl behind the soda fountain making a huge ruckus, like she had to get out quick. No manager or adult in view, just two teen girls by all appearances. So, got run off. Not worth trying it again IMHO. Certainly not after the unfriendly vibe I got.

Passed by this place looking Canoe House and end up having lunch here. The place is an old school 60s era design. A bunch of toys inside and candies. A lot of Christmas decor still around. When I arrived at this place, it was only me. There are 4 servers around. I ordered the philly steak and got my order in 10 min. After 30 min of slowly eating my sandwich, the place is beginning to get crowded. That is when everything went south. I asked for the Fremont ice cream and I saw my server was so busy doing something with the computer. It took another 15 minutes before I got the order. I asked for a refill of my drink and I never saw that again until I left. It seems servers are all disorganized. I can see some of the customers are getting antsy. There are less than a dozen small table that sits up to 2 or 4 people and it seems no one is in charge of a particular area. That is why I can tell it is disorganized. Their food was good specially the serving size of the ice cream that can feed up to 4 people.
