A Hot Spot With Cool Treats
Step inside Schwab’s Pharmacy, and you’ll feel like you’ve traveled back in time. This vintage-inspired ice cream parlor is a tribute to the legendary Schwab’s Pharmacy on Sunset Boulevard, where Hollywood hopefuls and movie industry insiders once gathered in the 1930s. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic milkshake, a banana split, or a simple scoop of ice cream, Schwab’s has something to satisfy your sweet tooth.
On a recent visit, we decided to cool off with two milkshakes—one made with Cookies and Cream Ice Cream and the other with Dulce De Leche Ice Cream. Each shake is hand-scooped and made fresh to order, topped with whipped cream and a cherry for that extra touch of nostalgia. At $7.99 each, these shakes might just be one of the best values in the park!
