Editorial Review for Ghirardelli Soda Fountain – by Whitney Friedlander

In Short
The sweet smells of chocolate and sugar hit customers as soon as the enter the vast white marble shop. Kiosks greet chocolate lovers near near the storefront, but most customers head straight for the queue for cool, creamy ice cream treats. After placing their orders, couples holding hands, families and friends head to the booths and tables to wait for the giant scoops in silver goblets or milk shakes in tall cainisters to arrive.

Try the garage at Horton Plaza, and buy a pack of gum from the Longs Drugstore downstairs for cheap validation.

Most orders are monster sized proportions perfect for sharing.
