- Indulge in a classic “coffee cabinet” at Delekta’s
Delekta’s is an old-school soda fountain and pharmacy in Warren, Rhode Island. Delekta’s developed its version of a coffee milkshake sometime before World War II. Italian immigrants boosted coffee syrup production until it matched the state’s output of dairy production. Delekta’s eventually added ice cream to the coffee beverage. The folks at Delekta’s believe that the “coffee cabinet” hearkens back to the days when the drink’s inventor kept his blender and coffee syrup in an actual cabinet.
