Brooklyn Farmacy Reigns Supreme with Award-Winning Egg Cream

UPDATE: Brooklyn Farmacy and Soda Fountain, a cherished establishment in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, has just been crowned the champion at the National Egg Cream Invitational, solidifying its reputation as the home of the best egg cream in New York. This victory adds to the growing allure of the shop, which has become a must-visit destination since it reopened in 2009.

This sibling-owned gem, operated by Peter Freeman and Gia Giasullo, has transformed a once-shuttered drug store into a vibrant time capsule that captures the nostalgia of 1920s Brooklyn. Freeman, affectionately known as the “head jerk,” attributes their success to a unique egg cream recipe that has delighted customers since childhood.

“Every day, someone experiences the egg cream for the first time,” Freeman said, emphasizing the shop’s role in preserving this iconic beverage for future generations. The egg cream, a milky blend of seltzer water, milk, and flavored syrup—often chocolate—has become a defining feature of Brooklyn culture.

The decor at Brooklyn Farmacy is a feast for the eyes, featuring repurposed antiques from its drug store days. “Nothing really ever left here,” Freeman remarked about the shop’s rich history. The ambiance invites patrons to step back in time while enjoying a drink that sparks conversations about its controversial origins. Freeman speculates that the egg cream emerged from the late 1800s, driven by financial ingenuity and the desire to create a delicious alternative to expensive cream.

The siblings are dedicated to keeping the art of the soda fountain alive, ensuring that the joy of enjoying an egg cream continues to thrive. The enthusiasm of their customers and the community’s support have made their mission a success.

Visitors and locals alike are encouraged to stop by and taste the award-winning egg cream, experiencing firsthand why this establishment is a beloved fixture in the neighborhood. With its unique history, compelling story, and delicious offerings, Brooklyn Farmacy and Soda Fountain stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of classic New York beverages.

As egg cream aficionados and curious newcomers flock to the shop, the excitement surrounding this historic beverage is only expected to grow. Don’t miss your chance to indulge in a taste of history at Brooklyn Farmacy, where each sip is a celebration of tradition and creativity.
