About this business
For those who may not know, an egg cream is a drink that contains neither eggs or cream; nevertheless, it just takes three simple ingredients to create this delectable concoction. The ingredients are syrup, milk and soda water, where they coalesce to form a carbonated, creamy, sudsy and sweet foam. Here at Gem Spa (which is actually a newsstand), you can be assured of receiving an authentic egg cream because they have been making them since the 50's. The newsstand also has a wide selection of underground and foreign 'zines.

Have always loved it! It needs to stay where it is and not close!

I released the demon, burned the nag, and washed my hands. when i was thanking dude with tears in my eyes, i bought a egg cream. it was the most beautiful egg cream i ever had. i also bought some peanut m&m's. thank you gemspa, i dont know what t... read more
