milk bars
Retro sweet shops
Milk bars are establishments serving milk-based drinks, ice cream, and light snacks.
In Australia and New Zealand, a milk bar is a corner shop or small convenience store—the local place for newspapers, candy, and sundries.
In mid-20th century America and Britain, milk bars were soda fountain–style shops popular with teenagers, serving milkshakes and malts: We'd meet at the milk bar after school.
