💚 Team Cream Soda? We need your help! 🥤🍦

We've got a nostalgic idea brewing...

Should we bring the classic Cream Soda Float to Carthouse Café?

Refreshing cream soda topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream... a proper old-school treat! 😍

Would you order one?

💚 YES! I'd love to see it on the menu!
🤔 NO! I'll stick with the current menu!

Tell us your verdict in the comments. Is it a forgotten favourite that deserves a comeback, or should it stay a sweet memory?

👇 Vote below and let us know!
