My boyfriend and I have been hunting for a good dessert place in BGC after dining from a Pizza Parlor in Uptown Mall. Upon searching, we saw a lot of good reviews about Farmacy and decided to pay a visit to satisfy our sweet cravings!
The sophisticated vibe welcomed me upon entering the store; kind of 50's diner nostalgia.
Neon lights, milk shakes in tall glass, bar stools and counters, muted tone & colors and warm light bulbs definitely sets the mood. I just love the whole idea of this ice cream parlor! It feels like I've been brought to a different time; a period in history.
Behind the bar is a medicine cabinet with random flasks and lab tools. Antique wooden cabinets and ceiling fans gave emphasis to the vintage look.
They say that soda fountains were originated from alcohol prohibition era when alcoholic beverages would be hidden in ice creams.

On the menu are composed of not just the things kids will love but adults will definitely also be delighted to have. Ice Cream, Waffle Cones, Sodas, Milkshakes, Floats, Banana Splits and everything you can probably see in dessert heaven is here! They offer free taste on the ice creams so you can pick the best ones you like and give it a try; Aside from that they also have few munchies on the menu like burgers and coffee that you can indulge in. According to other blogs - everything here is naturally made and the ingredients were really made from fresh fruits.
I love how their menu even blended on the whole concept. The prices of their desserts weren't as expensive as compared to other Concept Ice Cream Parlors. The quality is over the top: ice cream made from all natural ingredients, the huge variety of flavors, the ambiance, the quality of desserts - I felt like I was paying less than what I am actually getting.
I also have to point out that their customer service is very good. I remember their servers were constantly filling up our glasses with water every time it gets empty.
They were warm and always smile too; only comment was serving time was really slow.
The blue-ish and pink-ish hues surrounding the whole store was a pure dream and nostalgia.

Their sodas were also amazing. It was my first time to try Fruit Sodas - a.k.a. Soda Juice and was surprised how it tasted. The Strawberry Soda was a little too sweet [kinda reminds me of powdered strawberry drinks] that's why I preferred the Soda Calamansi because of the sourness which added a little kick to the drink. I bet the kids would love the Strawberry Soda though, definitely for the sweet tooths!
