Glades Soda Fountain

The owner Abby was such a lovely person! I really appreciated how much care and attention is put into the sweets here. The milkshakes are divine and the pretzels were so delicious. When something on her menu is listed as chocolate it’s actually chocolate. The milkshake tasted of what I think heaven would be like!! Thank you again Abby!

We found this little gem while visiting the shops in the Arts District. I love the old fashioned, hand mixed sodas. Lots of flavors and all of them can be made into floats. Would recommend for anyone who may enjoy this type of sweet treat. Also a big bonus because it was off the beaten path and definitely more of a hometown feel, instead of commercialized like some of the other places.

Wonderful little place! The specialty sodas are great and any flavor you want. The sundae was amazing! It had strawberry ice cream and pineapple and strawberry topping. It was very large, enough to share. The service was great as well. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and friendly. We will definitely go back.

Stopped in today while shopping, not many food options because it is an ice cream shop but we got 2 chili cheese beef hot dogs, 2 bags of chips and a big glass of sweet tea for $10. What a deal. We did not get any ice cream it was a pretty cool day today. We are Tennesseans, 55 degrees and ice cream aren't a good mix. The store is super cute with some neat still functioning antique milkshake blending machines. The girl who runs the place was very sweet and friendly. Definitely recommend.

What a cool place! I love the decor and style of everything staying true to classic American ice cream shops. The staff member was super friendly and recommended her favorite ice cream flavors and what they had to offer. I opted for a hot fudge sundae with cookies and cream ice cream and it did NOT disappoint, it was great. My wife got an ice cream float with cherry coke and vanilla which was also great. We sat outside on the patio with our dog and it was perfect. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in Gatlinburg, TN!
