Wichita is one of our oldest cities, but that comes with the knowledge that many of the original businesses here didn’t make it through the growth that happened over the years. Wichita’s original soda fountain is still here and running however, if you’re in the mood for one of their classic milkshakes. They’re some of the best classic milkshakes served in all of Kansas!

Let me introduce you to Wichita’s original soda fountain, Old Mill Tasty Shop.

Sometimes you’ll want nothing more than a perfectly sweet milkshake, made how you remember them as a kid. These days, most milkshakes just don’t hit the spot quite like the old ones do. As a bonus, the milkshake that doesn’t fit in your glass gets served to you in the shaker right next to it.

Sitting up at the bar on a stool only adds to the experience, as you listen to the opening of compartments and the old, still-running fridge visible from the counter.

In addition to classic shake flavors, they make a great turtles and Aspen Snowballs, both hard to choose from if you love both turtle and coconut flavors.
