“ I've traveled the world over, and this is the best soda fountain on the planet Earth. Old school soda fountan/sundry. The Cherry Coke chocolate Coke tastes just like Harry used to make them. The Malts taste the same as well. This place is an Iowa institution and should be placed on some type of a national historic register. I can't tell you how much I love this place. This is the first place I go every time I hit town. ”
“ I visited the Corner Sundry on the west side of the square in Indianola, IA, the afternoon of 12/13/23. In the midst of errands I decided to sit, relax and have a cup of coffee. I'm very glad I chose this small place, my first time there. My individual cup of coffee was freshly brewed, tasty and hit the spot. The owner, Mike, was friendly, personable and served me with a smile. The place was busy when I first walked in, but it didn't take long to get my order. I will indeed return! ”
