Carroll Gardens’ Brooklyn Farmacy and Soda Fountain is a throwback to the olden days complete with an ice cream bar and vintage uniforms. They serve up their overflowing hot fudge sundaes in a classic tulip sundae glass filled to the brim with decadent Adirondack Creamery ice cream and topped by the bright Maraschino cherry you’ve even seen.

Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream only uses the finest quality ingredients available, so don’t expect them to scrimp on their sundaes. Luscious Michel Cluizel hot fudge smothers their creamy ice cream before being topped with whole walnuts and homemade whipped cream and a sour cherry. It’s a sundae even the organic mom can approve of.
