Story

Legends Books, Antiques and Old Fashioned Soda Fountain provides a unique and exciting experience. Order a latte, an old fashioned ice cream soda, or a banana split at the antique bar and cafe, peruse the antiques and gifts in the back of the store, or wander downstairs for a look into Sonora's historic underground tunnel, mining past and to discover a bookstore beneath the city streets.

Sit with a cup of tea, espresso or coffee and read for hours in our underground bookstore, work on your latest project in the cafe on our free wifi, or simply sit and chat with your friends over a milkshake. Try our house specialty, an old fashioned ICE CREAM SODA - everyone should try this wonderful treat! Traditionally Chocolate, Vanilla or Strawberry but we can make it in whatever flavor combination you like such as Wild berry Sorbet with Blackberry or, anything you can dream up.

This is a stunning old building (2nd oldest in Sonora) the back bar is 26 feet of mirror and mahogan -spectacular! You can go downstairs in the well selected and organized bookstorewith comfortable chairs. Downstairs you can peek through a glass door to look into a portion of the old tunnel which ran underneath Sonora during the Gold Rush. There is another surprise down at the end of the building, in the vault room, before the second staircase where you can make a wish! That staircase will bring you to the antique area of the store with very reasonably priced, well displayed charming treasures. Upstairs lunch is delicious.. the best hot dogs (really), chicken or tuna salad sandwiches. This time i tried "The Frans".. ham, swiss, honey mustard, pepperoncines, onions, yomatoes and luttuce on marbled rye with a side of fruit. Yum! All food is fresh and beautifully presented. Someting I like about the menu is most every sandwich can be made into a salad which give you healthy options before dessert. Do not miss the dessert! This is an ice cream, parlor/ soda fountain so lots of great rich, high quality ice cream flavors served in glass dishes. Thick milkshakes.malts and much more. The house specialty is old fashioned ice cream sodas which are impressively served in special tall glasses. .. picture worthy and they taste fantastic! The workers are friendly and fun. Don't miss this place, it should be your destination!!!

Espresso is awful. The ice cream over-rated, "antiques" are way overpriced. Found a new journal there for $12, the Ross price tag on the back said $3.99. Nice mark up. Better shops on Washington St.

We had the most fantastic time here. This beautiful old building is the best place to have delicious Ice-cream Sundays, served in the gorgeous bar area complete with antique Sunday glasses. To top it off, the staff are absolutely fantastic. I couldn't rate this experience highly enough.
