Frequently asked questions
What is the definitive order at Brooklyn Farmacy?
An egg cream first, it is the fountain's calling card. Then a sundae if you brought reinforcements.
Is it kid-friendly or a hipster spot?
Both, genuinely. Families fill it on weekends and the staff plays it straight rather than ironic.
How do I build a Carroll Gardens dessert walk around it?
Start with an egg cream here, browse Smith Street, then walk a few blocks to Malai for a scoop of masala chai. The whole loop takes about ninety minutes.
