De Soto Pharmacy

I was in search of a pharmacy and I came up with DeSoto Pharmacy & Soda Shoppe. Mary Ann helped me and served up some great customer service. Because this was my first visit I was entitled to 1 free ice cream cone. I’ll definitely be coming back because these ladies are great at what they do. Thanks again, Mary Ann. You made my day!

Called Monday to have my prescription mailed to me and it is now Friday and I still haven’t received anything! Called on Thursday to ask what’s going on ??? I’m out of my prescription and I kinda need it. The lady that answered the phone said she tracked it and it was going to get delivered today (Thursday) but Thursday came and went still nothing!!! Called again today Friday and I just get the same response it is going to get delivered today! Well I have already gone two days with out my prescription and who knows if it will even get delivered today! I am very angry that I am not able to take my prescription that I need… And I do not live close by that’s why I always have it mailed to me and usually I call it in and within 2 days I have it. But this time it has been a week and I still don’t have anything… I don’t think the first girl I talked to on Monday even mailed it out in fact who knows if they have even mailed it out yet I feel like I’m just getting the brush off by the pharmacy ! That is extremely rude to do to someone who needs to take there medication…, desoto pharmacy you are extremely unprofessional I am very angry.

WOW! FANTASTIC, INCREDIBLE, I will NEVER ever EVER eat Supermarket Ice Cream again. Thanks to «BURROUS BITES» on KTLA Channel 5, Sunday Mornings. I saw his piece on DE SOTO Pharmacy. I was shocked, after 45 years of living here I NEVER knew about Jerry’s Soda Shoppe. MY god! The Ice Cream is incredible, I have not had REAL Ice cream before. This is the real deal. Highest amount of Milkfat in any Ice Cream according to The news piece. This Ice Cream is Gourmet. They also have Malts, Shakes, Egg Creams, Banana Splits, sandwiches and more. And a VERY Large, bright Pharmacy. I will be transferring my prescriptions from WalGreens to DeSoto this week. And the people are friendly and outgoing and seem to really love their job. I will be back OFTEN. Thanks Chris Burrous ! from Ktla5

OMG THIS PLACE IS SOOOOO GOOD! A hidden gem in the VALLEY. I loves the texture and flavor of their icecream you can really tell its of high quality. Beats any of these major ice cream shops any day!

The staff is amazingly friendly and knowledgable. We went in to pick a prescription for my infant son and the pharmacist did a consult without me even asking. She was caring and helpful.
While we were waiting we had a delicious ice cream. They apparently have excellent desert I think I read they have banana splits… next time.

This is the pharmacy that I’ve been coming to for years. I guess it’s been here for a very long time and it’s got a lot of history behind. Nice pictures –I guess some of the movies were filmed here. And the most important thing is how fast they move. My prescription is usually ready within 15 – 20 min

Sara is truly an asset to this business. she always is supper nice and helps me through all the issues stemming from diabetes. .thank you

L O V E .
If you are ever craving for some old fashion milkshake or float etc. this is the place to go. Staff are definitely friendly.
Promise you won’t be disappointed

The kids said they had found heaven. Huge sundaes and banana splits. Old time soda fountain feel. Totally unassuming from the front.

Took the kids for an after school treat. They are so excited to try the classic treats. They have the best ice cream in the valley!!!

This place is a diamond in the rough!!! The ice cream is great and the people there are extremely helpful and most of all nice like people should be!!! This is our second time here. The first time we went all out and got a banana split, 1 malt and 2 floats. Although it was all mostly eaten/​drank except for my banana split, it was WAY too much. So this time we each just got 1 scoop cones. It was perfect for all from our 5 yr old to my husband. I totally recommend this place!!!

I’ve heard a lot of great things about this place, so I finally came by to check this place out. This place is not only a pharmacy, but they also sell lots of knick knacks and cards for that certain occasion.
This an old school/​retro ice cream shop. I split a chocolate malt with my friend and they will even split it in a separate glass. I also came here another time with my other half and shared a banana split. They give generous portions that we weren’t even able to finish it. It was delicious and filling. I definitely want to come back to try other things on their menu. They even serve sandwiches here, too.
Note: If you check in make sure to check in the Desoto Pharmacy for a $ 1 off on your ice cream soda or root bear float. I accidentally checked in the Jerry’s Soda Shoppe and I didn’t get any offer :(.
There’s plenty of parking, since it’s in plaza.

Super Sweet Ice Cream Float! I definetly had a sugar high after this. The ice cream variety is pretty basic and so is there sundaes. What makes it unique is the presentation. All iceam was served in vintage glass ice cream bowls. The. 1950s vibe is very cool. I enjoyed my Ice Cream Float so much and having the whole cup dipped in fudge made it hreat to look at!!!

DeSoto Pharmacy is like taking a trip back in time! I love the old school soda shoppe feel, it’s definitely a hidden little treasure.
They have floats, sundaes, milkshakes galore! They offer a wide variety of flavors and they dip all the milkshake glasses in chocolate! Everything is big enough to share but it’s way more fun to indulge and get your own!
There’s nothing like DeSoto Pharmacy around anymore and the environment is just as amazing the ice cream! Such a fun place to pop in for a treat!!!

Found it! An old fashioned pharmacy complete with a soda fountain like the years gone by! Order up at the counter and choose from various flavors of ice cream. The menu lists sandwiches too, although while we were there, we saw lots of delicious floats, banana splits and cones.
The hot fudge sundaes are huge! Thought about taking a pic for you, however, it was in my tummy too fast!

I was discussing local eateries with my Über driver over the weekend and he recommended the ice cream at this location. At first, I was skeptical about getting ice cream from a drugstore but I got adventurous.
The pharmacy itself reminds me of those on most Caribbean islands, it was kinda cool for a minute, not like your typical cvs or walgreens. Jerry’s Soda Shoppe is located to the left as you walk in. They offer sandwiches and a few other lunch items. I tried out the ice cream float and it was fantastic! I had 3 scoops… different flavors. The presentation was great and it tasted even better. Who knew such a gem was hidden in a local pharmacy!
The best part was that I had a large, which was almost $ 6 but as a first timer with the Unilocal offer, it was almost free!

Yessss Yessss Yessss! Finalllly after years and years of saying that I was going to come and try it out I finally made it here. I would always forget about this place but oh my gosh what a great little hidden gem this place is.
1^st of all this is an actual pharmacy which sells all types of wonderful things that you would need, they have really cute knick knacks and all types of greeting cards that you probably wouldn’t be able to get at a regular store like Target or something.
What the actual hidden gem is inside and it’s the old fashion soda shoppe. You can get sandwiches, salads, soups and various ice cream, shakes, malts and sundaes. The ladies working here are super nice, very friendly and just overall fantastic. I love the décor on the walls I wish there were more places like this that still exist, I loved the old feel and the cool stools that you sit on. Very old school and very cool! Prices were reasonable and the Chocolate Malt we ordered was beyond delicioussss! Mind you my friend and I shared and it’s a good thing we did because I do’t think I would be able to have finished the whole thing by myself. What I loved is that the mugs are actually dipped in chocolate with whip cream and a cherry on top, I opted out for the cherry but I will definitely say I was definitely pleased and enjoyed every bit of my malt. I definitely will come back and bring my friends and family in the Summer time and try their other items. If you check in on Unilocal they give you $ 1.00 off a ice cream soda/​root beer float, I definitely will make sure to get this next time.
2 thumbs up in my book, highly recommend! While your here make sure you check out the cards and other things that are offered in the Pharmacy.

This place is such a gem.
I was having a hard time getting my Medi-​Cal prescriptions filled at Walgreens so I had them all transferred to De Soto Pharmacy.
They specialize in Medi-​Cal and went out of their way to get all my medications approved. The pharmacist is accessible, knowledgeable and had a nice manner.
FOR $ 5 they will hand deliver your medication! I love this place!
You get a coupon for a free scoop of ice cream also! They have a full service ice cream counter.
Support local businesses!

What a great little find! Inside a small little pharmacy, off to the side, is an old fashioned soda fountain.
You can get sandwiches, salads, and soups, but the big attraction is the various ice cream treats. They have ice cream cones, shakes, ice cream sodas, and sundaes as well as a few other items. Everything is delicious and is quite a big serving. I had a single scoop ice cream sundae and it was packed with ice cream! The shake comes with the extra cup on the side and is also a huge portion. The shakes, sodas, and floats come with a glass that is dipped in chocolate. We were very pleased with our selections.
You can sit at the counter on the stools or they have a few tables set up along side the counter. The employees are super friendly and helpful. Matt was particularly nice and fun to talk to.
If you want the old fashioned soda fountain experience, then come visit De Soto Pharmacy. It is a great little place!
Of note, we asked Matt what is the best way to get the chocolate off of the side of the glass. He said that you drink the shake or ice cream soda, flip over the cup and scrape it off on to the plate. What an ingenious idea! He says he likes to do that and then throw the chocolate shavings into his extra shake cup and get a double dose of chocolate! How fun is that? :)

Blown away by this old school ice cream parlor tucked away in a strip mall in canoga park. I have driven past this place so many times and no idea what was hiding in this old school pharmacy! Holy cow… This place is the real deal old school ice cream parlor. They dip their milk shake glasses in chocolate, let it harden then pour the milk shake in it. Where else does this?!? Amazing ice cream, big variety of flavors and huge portions. These places don’t exist anymore and it’s so refreshing to find a good ice cream place that isn’t Baskin Robbins, coldstones etc. Where else can you go enjoy your dessert a cute 1950’s theme bar. It’s an experience in itself.
This place is definitely worth checking out. I’m going to have to add some more spin classes to my schedule after finding this hidden gem!
