Both The Franklin Fountain and The Franklin Ice Cream Bar are full of antiques that make you feel like you stepped into a 1920s ice cream parlor or happen to be on the set of Peaky Blinders. This place feels pretty unique, especially because all your scoops or cones come in their signature Chinese takeout box. But when you want creamy soft serve instead of ice cream scoops, Franklin Ice Cream Bar is the way to go. You can have your soft serve dipped in chocolate, covered with sprinkles, or doused in old-school hot fudge, but anyway you get it is equally special, just like all the players on your third-grade soccer team.
