Fun. Just fun. They told you it would be fun. They were right. Fun shakes. Fun sundaes. Ridiculous beverages of all kinds. Unbelievable candy combinations. It’s small. It’s unassuming. But goodness does it deliver in what they promise - fun!

the oreo brownie one is just delicious. the strawberry cheesecake is good too, but I'm not crazy about the milkshake taste itself. definitely want to go back and try the other ones!

Friendly and quick service. They have both regular shakes and unique shakes topped with cheesecakes and such. I tried the Oreo cheesecake one, it tasted okay. The whipped cream was unappetizing closer to Tim Horton's whipped topping. I recommend they switch to real whipped cream (Starbucks) as it will significantly improve flavour. I wanted to try the Nutella cookie one but it was sold out. Overall a fun place to visit, but flavour was not great so I won't repeat unless they use better quality ingredients.

Amazing variety ! Super friendly staff, they didn’t make me feel bad for rushing in at 10:45pm for 3 awesome ice cream creations, they were pleasant and friendly and their ice creams are comparable to Sweet Jesus in Toronto only same quality without an Ontario price tag ! We got the giant strawberry cheese cake milk shake monstrosity, a coconut Sundae and a strawberry sundae, very pleased with all of them ! Will definitely be stopping back to try others any time we’re back in the area ! Unfortunately they were too good to take pics of before we devoured them!

Great milk shake, I'd recommend. There is often a line up outside that goes down the street, but service is pretty quick and they bring your shake out to you. They have a convenience store as well with everything you would normally suspect. Have to mention - owners are wonderful. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they have offered to give anyone in need free milk or eggs. This behaviour should be applauded.

Lovely place. Store is small, but selection is plentiful. If you can wait the 5-10 minutes, your reward is an awesome milkshake, each flavor having a thoughtful touch added to make it better. Store could be bigger and I wouldn't want to rush perfection but if the processing time was bumped a little, this would be my perfect summer spot.

When you're in the mood for a cold sweet treat, most people automatically think ice cream but milkshakes can be what you really need to satisfy that craving! this is best place in Halifax to grab a milkshake. This serve a lot more than just scoops of ice cream, old school diners, burger joints and places that focus solely on making and selling shakes! This places sell classic flavours like strawberry, vanilla or chocolate, while others have a lot of fun mix-ins like your favourite breakfast cereal or chocolate bars. The shakes on this list are topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, buttery caramel or fun toppings like cotton candy! Save this list and refer to it next time you are craving a shake. Whether you are north, east or west in HRM, there is undoubtedly a place on this list that will be close to you. best a must visit place
