Bear Coal Soda Fountain: A Unique Ice Cream Shop Inside a Laundromat
Bear Coal Soda Fountain is a hidden gem located inside a laundromat in Craig, Colorado. Despite its unconventional location, this ice cream shop has become a local favorite for its delicious treats and friendly service.
The menu at Bear Coal Soda Fountain is extensive, offering a wide variety of ice cream flavors, sundaes, milkshakes, and Italian sodas. Customers rave about the toasted coconut pineapple ice cream and the peach milkshake. The shop also serves sandwiches, including a popular grilled mac and cheese sandwich.
One of the unique features of Bear Coal Soda Fountain is its drive-thru window, making it easy for customers to grab a treat on the go. However, customers should be prepared to wait in line during peak hours, as the shop can get busy.
The staff at Bear Coal Soda Fountain is known for their kindness and patience, even during busy times. They work hard to keep the shop clean and sanitized, and they are quick to fix any issues with the machines in the laundromat.

This place is wonderful! Where else can you do your laundary and get a great milkshake or sandwhich. I got a peach milkshake and it was fabulous. The ladies behind the counter are super kind and tolarlent to all that come in to do there laundary or get a treat. The line can be long for treats but very much worth the wait. Your patience and kindness will be rewarded.

Our fave place for ice cream. Great shakes and sundaes. Top quality and big selection. The new young crew is quickly catching on and improving their service.

It's a wonderful Ice Cream parlor. The ice cream is good and the customers are friendly. I come here as often as I can with my daughter. Try the grilled Mac and cheese sandwich.

Plan on waiting a bit as (at least when
we visited) a single hard-working gal was handling both drive-thru and in-laundromat, BUT it was totally worth it! The toasted coconut pineapple ice cream is fantastic, and the kiddie cone is generous and a steal at $1. Many other great flavors too, plus milk shakes.

It's very noticeable that this place is short staff just like most places. It is what it is. Besides that, my grilled cheese was good and the pretzel Carmel milk shake was awesome! Not going to take a star away because people don't want to work. The ladies up there are doing an awesome job!

The shakes and malts are very good but the service was slow. We ordered 3 shakes, 1 malt, and 2 ice cream cones. By the time we got our last malt, 3 in our party were finished with theirs and had to wait for the other 3 to finish.
UPDATE! 6/15/19. Because the ice cream and malts are the best in town, we gave the service a second chance in hopes that our first experience was just an 'off' day. It must have been. Fast, efficient, and delicious! Definitely a 'go-to' place in Craig.

While the Italian Soda was great, it took too long to make it. Also, in the summer we eat at 6:30 so if you want our business 'regularly' you need to be open till 8.
Thank you!

My family and I have been enjoying Bear Coal since they opened in 2017. Great food, great ice cream and the Italian sodas are delicious!
The young man who usually serves us is so, so sweet.
It’s all-around a wonderful place! Highly recommend!
