Nonnie's Soda Fountain at 102 Market Street, Tomball, Texas.

Has a very unique feel to it that takes you back to a time before the internet, traffic jams, and global warming. I come here to stay cool, get the best root beer float in Houston, and listen to some oldies. It's like a retreat from the stress of the city.

They have a nice patio outside of your into sitting like that or they have the old school looking bar stools inside like your in a real ice cream joint from the 50s.

I never have an issue with parking and if you're on a date, there's a nice park right next to it where you can take your date for a walk with your ice cream. Or just walk around the block in downtown Tomball, whatever is your mood.

The only downside are the hours. For some reason they close at 5pm on weekdays as it's likely intended for the local neighborhood, so its ideal for a weekend visit if you're not in that immediate area.
