Really wanted to sit for ice cream and enjoy the ambiance, but the place was absolutely drenched in undiluted cleaner. We couldn't even breathe in there.

Cute and kitchy place a great spot to bring visiting friends. Lots of old timey toys and candy. Great soda fountain for sweet treats. Hours are tricky so check before going. Nice area to walk and see shops.

Justin was very helpful and Brandon made the best chocolate malt (with sour patch kids on top) and root beer float. Love this place!

In today’s corporate environment, profits have replaced genuine customer care and satisfaction. Chain pharmacies are under pressure to do more prescriptions, with less staff, and that’s why we have long lines and less quality care. It’s breath of fresh air to see pharmacies like Fair Oaks have survived, and are still providing complete service, with a kind pharmacist and their dedicated staff. Fair Oaks is one of the last remaining pharmacy in southern California, that truly care about their patients. I can not find anything but praise for the staff, who provide my mom with all her needed medication.

A bit of a tourist trap. The history and nostalgic feeling make it worth visiting. Candies and toys that just about every generation will remember from childhood. Ordering a soda, takes you back in time to the way the soda shop used to be. It helps you understand the culture and draw as a place to gather and hang out.
The staff was extremely talkative and informative. Phosphorus soda wasn't our favorite, but it was something that I would encourage everyone to try.

Decided to close an hour early and only announce it when we walked in. We left as soon as we could after taking our dog to the vet for her biweekly injections for her pain, drove through over an hour of traffic, all for nothing. I just wanted a damn phosphate.

This pharmacy is without a doubt the finest gem in town. Regrettably, I haven't had the opportunity to visit recently due to the backorder situation with the medication I require. It's unfortunate that smaller pharmacies like this one don't seem to receive priority in terms of stocking compared to major chains like CVS. This situation truly saddens me because I wish I could turn to them for all my pharmaceutical needs. I've never experienced such attentive and personalized service at any other pharmacy in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend choosing them over the larger, impersonal alternatives.

Absolutely hate this place because their hours are inconsistent and when they actually are open they limit what you can order. I couldn't even grab a soda 45 minutes before closing today. If the SODA fountain isn't serving any soda, just close the doors. No, I don't want to purchase candy... You're the soda fountain not a candy factory. I understand not doing food, you have to clean up equipment and all that. I'm a chef, I get it but I can't even get a drink? I wasn't trying to get ice cream or milkshakes....just a regular soda that they were advertising on their door(pb&j) only to be told I couldn't order anything as soon as I entered. Head to Galco's instead where if their doors are open, you won't be denied soda.

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.

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!

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.

So awesome, like it's frozen in time.

They close at 5pm everyday so we always miss it, this time got here 10 mins before 5pm. They were out of vanilla ice cream so couldn't get a float or shake... So got 2 scoops

The soda and retail shop is closed. Google said it was opened. Don't trust Google.

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.

I've visited twice. The first time was great - I ordered a root beer float, it had a lot of ice cream and the service was friendly. They let me chat with my friend at the booth and pay at the end.

The second time I apparently encountered one of the owners. They weren't as generous (cup wasn't full) and insisted that I pay beforehand - walk across the store, wait in line, pay, while my drink is sitting on the counter melting.

I would say the first experience was 5 stars, second was 2 stars, which averages to 3.5 stars. Rounding down for their (lack of) hours.
