PT Soda Fountain & Diner
817 Water St, Port Townsend, WA
Crema's Take
“This retro soda fountain trades consistency for charm, banking on nostalgia and fun vibes rather than flawless execution—the neon signs, vintage jukeboxes, and comfortable booths create that genuine old-time diner atmosphere that Instagram can't manufacture. Their fries and burgers are legitimately good, though you might encounter a rough edge or two (literally, in the form of broken bar seats), and the specialty shakes can be hit-or-miss. It's worth the visit if you're after character and comfort food in a place that feels like stepping into your grandparents' favorite hangout, not if you're seeking precision coffee craftsmanship.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Good place to grab a quick lunch; their chocolate shake was almost perfect except for some bits of ice cream slivers in it. Some of the best fries I've ever had. The burger was solid; nothing amazing but I wasn't expecting that. Service was a bit slow, and not the friendliest,…
Cool place to stop for a burger and some treats. My family loved their burgers and the fries were solid. They offer classic soda fountain drinks as well as an assortment of ice cream, shakes, and floats. Inside is cool looking but a but cluttered and the service is decent.
Great retro location! The vibe inside was pretty retro, I love the Neon lighting and vintage jukeboxes they had inside! The booths were comfortable and the food was great! I got a burger which was really good and came with a good amount of fries. Service was ok, the server…
We just popped in for some ice cream. Ice cream was ok but I loved the establishment itself with all the old time furniture and fixtures. Very nostalgic! And the kids that worked behind the counter were great. They were attentive and worked hard keeping everything clean!
