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.

CLINTON STREET BAKING CO. & RESTAURANT

Sometimes, we all crave a classic plain vanilla milkshake, and Clinton Street Baking Co. & Restaurant does just that. The famed New York eatery came to Singapore in 2015, and often sees full houses and queues, especially during the lunch and dinner hour.

Besides the classic shake flavours, they also have the Boozy Salted Caramel that is a salty-sweet mix with added bourbon.

25 DEGREES BURGERS & LIQUOR BAR

No experience at an American diner is complete without a huge milkshake. This classic milkshake (S$10++) that comes in a variety of flavours is something you absolutely must order when at 25 Degrees Burger & Liquor Bar Singapore.

Sweet, decadent and oh-so-satisfying, there was no way we could resist slurping down one of these bad boys with our burger. Complete with a cherry on top and lots of whipped cream, your burger experience cannot get any better.

Pâtissez, the original creator of the world famous freakshakes (over-the-top milkshakes), opens its first Singapore store in the new Raffles Holland Village.

Originally located in Australia’s capital – Canberra – Pâtissez became famous and stopped the world in their tracks in 2015 with its iconic Freakshakes – massive milkshakes piled high with brownies, cookies, pretzels and even slabs of cake.

And now, Pâtissez is ready to introduce its signature Freakshakes to Singapore.

Since Pâtissez pioneered the milkshake trend, we have seen many cafes in Singapore – including Cake Spade, Benjamin Brown and Hotel Jen Tanglin’s Kitchen On-The-Go – coming up with their own versions of over-the-top milkshakes.

Would it spark a revival of the crazy milkshake trend in Singapore since it has been a while since the world got crazy over it?

The Pretzella Freakshake (S$16) - Nutella shake, vanilla mousse, salty pretzels, pretzel dust – is a must-try for nutella lovers.

You can also expect savoury food such as Hot Cakes (S$15) and Burgers (S$25)

Riding on the success of its Freakshakes, Pâtissez opened a second Canberra store in the center of the capital. And since then, it has gone from strength to strength with the opening of its first international outpost in Kuala Lumpur last month, and now Singapore.

From what we understand, Pâtissez is in the midst of opening more stores in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing and Bangkok.

The pretty desserts and cakes at Cake Spade have earned a prime spot on our social media feeds. And recently, they upped their ante with this gorgeous Unicorn Cake Shake (S$14.90). Totally bringing milkshakes to a whole new level!

The cafe revels in the philosophy that every dessert dished out is a symbol of celebration, and therefore, should be executed with the best efforts.

Cake Spade does away with all the unnecessary cafe decor and keeps the interior space simple, shining with their extensive cake options instead.

The cafe sits a mere twelve people, but it also has a small alfresco area to accommodate all the Cake Spade loving individuals.

Cake Spade has also jumped on the Over The Top Milkshakes bandwagon on weekdays after 5pm and on weekends – presenting you their rendition of these insanely photogenic treats with crazy overflowing toppings that will send you on one helluva milkshake experience.

Their Unicorn Cake Shake (S$14.90) left us dumbfounded, garnished with a “salad” of fluffy Cotton Candy, a slice of Red Velvet Cake, Old-school Biscuits, Grape Wafer Biscuits, lots of Nutella Rainbow Sprinkles with a Vanilla milkshake as the base – an extremely lethal combination that will send you on a sugary high.

But, it is worth the go. This dessert is one of those bucket list items, and for the FOMOs, you need to have this on your Instagram, right?
