Corner Of Time

I come here occasionally when friends are craving milkshakes. This is a small antique shop in the heart of downtown Bryan that serves old-​fashioned milkshakes and floats! They’re yummy and about $ 3 – 4. The milkshake barista is really friendly, but it does take a while to get your shake churned up. There are all kinds of eclectic finds in the antique section, but I don’t really know anything about antiques. Lots of deer heads on the walls, too, some of which are apparently not for sale.
The thing that turned me off was the fact that the cashier (different lady than the barista) gave me some attitude about stamping their rewards card. I had bought 3 drinks (for me and my two friends), and she stamped my card once, then asked my friend if she had a card to stamp. My friend said just to add her stamp to my card since I paid for all the drinks, but the lady refused somewhat rudely. It wasn’t big, just quite off-​putting.

Great antique store in downtown Bryan! They have a lot to look at– a wide spread of different items. My boyfriend and I had a lot of fun waking around and looking at everything. Definitely stop here!

We stopped by again today, and they had some new things (or, new old things, to be accurate) and friendlier staff. The women working the checkout counter and the girl working the soda fountain were both very hospitable and we chatted easily over a Dublin Dr. Pepper float. My grandmother found a Southern Living cookbook from the year I was born (’88) and decided to give it to me as a belated bday present. That was our only purchase (big spenders, I know), but we had a good time browsing the goods.

The best vanilla malt I’ve ever had. Sometimes I’ll be doing something completely unrelated to vanilla malts and Corner of Time will pop into my head. This place is just plain cool, and it’s a joy to browse through the antiques (and the junk). They sell the VHS «Hullabaloo Caneck Caneck.» Need I say more?

This is a small antique shop in downtown Bryan that held some immediate interest for me recently. I was leaving a nearby restaurant, I saw the words «malts», «shakes» & «floats». I was inexorably drawn inside, where a small gaggle of high school girls, and a twenty-​something couple waited for their shakes. It took about 7 minutes for the counter-​person to get to me, since they had a single, old malt blender, allowing me time to look around. They have two reproduction or updated soda fountains, and a real turn of the century cash register. Hmm, they offer Community Coffee for mocha. They have a small display with 8 flavors of Blue Bell ice cream, which they use in their shakes, malts, floats, sundaes, and cones.
As tasty as the shake was, I wouldn’t drive downtown just for that, but I will definitely hit this little place for some chocolate-​vanilla goodness when I’m nearby.

This is an antique shop on a corner in beautiful old historic downtown Bryan. They have an excellent selection of very unique antiques making for quite an enjoyable tour as it’s almost like a little museum.
And inside is something we have not see for a long time, an active, open old fashioned soda fountain, complete with some rare flavors of Blue Bell Ice Cream.
Make sure to get one of the Soda punch cards at the fountain and after buying 8 sodas the next one is free. Really fun place to stop by with an amazing variety of fresh made soda mixtures.
