This place is a lot of fun. The owners are friendly and the vibe is great. The sodas are handmade the old fashioned way with syrup and seltzer water with over a dozen flavors to choose from and even more if you combine them. The grilled cheese sandwiches are for kids and adults alike. My wife had the special one with the cranberry and she loved it. While I had the #3 best in the country which was out of this world. The tomato soup was yummy. I also really liked the popcorn that came with the sandwiches. Yes it’s not fries I would’ve have preferred fries but it was still a great option. The icecream is awesome too. The kids and wife all enjoyed it. We will be back every time we are in Roanoke. If it gets crowded it could take a while for your order to come out but the owners do take care of you and shop a great job.

Excellent choices and quality of the “cream” served in retro metal dishes. But this long-time neighborhood fixture also has a fun, odd, throwback vibe including a rack of Mad magazines and custom wall decorations.

I found this local charming gem in grandin neighborhood in Roanoke recently as I have just moved here.
It is the most adorable ice cream/café you could ever hope for. The ice cream is wonderful and the service is great and the food is comforting and charming and yummy .
I have celiac and they have gluten-free bread and gluten-free cones and they take such care. I’ve been back three times since and it is my favorite grilled cheese of all times and again so charming inside with children coming and going and it’s just such a cheerful place I can’t recommend it enough and it’s locally owned so let’s support that and go get some fabulous ice cream this summer and some yummy food.

I’ve really enjoyed finding this place, and being able to get an actual egg cream outside of Boston/Chicago/NY. The egg cream wasn’t served how I’m used to, but still frothy and delicious and every place does it a little different. From talking to one of the owners (who are super nice) Steven, apparently it’s been there for almost 20 years — they took it over two years ago because they loved it and didn’t want to see it go.
The menu is simple, but delicious — ice cream, milkshakes, egg creams, malts, floats, sodas a few soups and souped-up grilled cheeses. It’s usually a tomato bisque plus a soup of the day, and the grilled cheeses are loaded up and made on a retro sandwich press. The actual ice cream comes from a local creamery, and may be more than one (lemon crunch is homestead I believe?). The milkshakes are a favorite: three full scoops and fresh milk.
Seating can be a little tough for a larger group (soda bar seating plus a few smaller booths), and the seasoned popcorn served with the sandwiches isn’t for me (I believe it had a ranch seasoning?) but others I’ve been with have really enjoyed it and I can understand how the tang offsets the grilled cheese sandwiches etc. It’s the kind of place that can be taken for granted too easily.

The grilled PB&J was really good and the orange Gloria was amazing! I didn’t get a traditional orange Gloria but still super good. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

Visited twice during my two weeks in Roanoke. The quality held up between a visit slightly tipsy from the wine bar around the corner and a completely sober visit. The grilled cheeses are creative and all were a hit with us, the ice cream was great, and the flavored popcorn is a cool touch. The vibe is retro and fun and the employees were all very kind and helpful.

There’s plenty of nice ice cream places in the Roanoke valley, however this is the BEST of the BEST. Taste, menu, service, atmosphere: these are all excellent. Of course they have wonderful ice cream but I would also recommend trying a flavored soda or one of their daily desserts. They also make awesome grilled cheese sandwiches! Go alone or take your friends and family and you’ll be wishing for a return soon!

If I lived in the area, I would probably be a frequent customer of Pop’s. I was traveling through the area, and wanted something sweet after my lunch. I was glad I found Pop’s and what a super cool area it is in. The inside is nostalgic. I decided to try the Blackberry Swirl Ice Cream. It was delicious and had an interesting tartness to it. I probably should have tried more items, but I had just eaten lunch so I didn’t order as I normally would have. The service was great. A new employee was being trained and it was fun that I was their first customer. Parking wasn’t an issue – I parked on the street in front of the shop. PS – sorry for the bad pics, I started eating my ice cream and the photos were an afterthought. Not my best food photos.

Visiting Roanoke this weekend and stopped here for lunch. I love it. This is an old-timey soda/ice cream shop that also serves grilled cheese.
The grilled cheese is amazing and quite big and filling for a grilled cheese. I got a popper (jalapeño cream cheese and cheddar) and it was delicious and so was the popcorn. And it was quite filling. But they have many other varieties too.
And I got a soda, an old-timey seltzer with lemon, lime, and orange syrup (with real cane sugar, not corn syrup.) And it was so good too even if it was a disgusting green color. I don’t care how it looks. I care how it tastes. And it tastes amazing.
So filling I barely had room for ice cream. I had the s’mores sundae with toasted marshmallow and graham crackers. It was amazing.
And staff are super friendly too, all of them.
Counter and booth seating.
Paid parking in back ($5 for two hours) or you can park a block away at the farmer’s market for free. Just don’t park in the reserved co-op spaces.
Also they had comic books and board games to read and play with while you eat, which seems like a risky move for an ice cream shop but that doesn’t mean I disapprove.

Best place ever! Whenever we are close, we reroute to come here. Excellent for gluten free eating. Everything from the sodas, to the grilled cheese, to the ice cream is awesome. Everyone is so friendly and helpful
