It is hard to pass up on a good milkshake, and some of us are even willing to go to the ends of the earth just to have a sip of the better ones. After all, a milkshake is essentially having a dessert in a cup—it is creamy, it is sweet, and it is often pretty.
Over the years, milkshakes have evolved to be so much more than just your average vanilla, chocolate or strawberry flavours. Now, brands are shaking—literally—things up with more creative flavours such as Cookie Butter, Nutella and Salted Caramel.
If you are still scouring the face of Singapore for more great milkshakes, here is a guide to the 10 Best Places for Milkshakes In Singapore.
ONCE UPON A MILKSHAKE
The name says it all.
once upon a milkshake does flavours of all kinds, each accompanied with adorable fairytale-themed names—such as Sir Cookies and Cream, Agent Red Velvet and Babelicious Baileys. The Speculoos Cookie Butter fans would also love their Cookie Butter Milkshake, going for S$9 for a regular portion.

THE LAB SG
The Lab SG’s milkshakes were definitely born from their motto of “We Experiment”. We are pretty sure that their Durian Caramel Monster Shake cannot be found anywhere else.
It mixes two popular flavours into one ultimate milkshake, and is a definite must-try, especially if you are a durian lover. But aside from that, there are other more “normal” flavours such as Nutella, Chocolate and Strawberry.

Are there places that make dairy-free milk shakes? I’m allergic to gluten and dairy. Are there restaurants that serve gluten-free pizza and pasta? Are there places that make coconut milk yogurt, coconut milk ice cream? The Thais usually have coconut milk ice cream. Are there places for people who have food allergies to eat allergen-free?
