Every milkshake at this beloved St. Clair West spot begins with fresh cream and the team's desire to whip it into a pastel-hued, edible fantasy. In the business of making "real hard ice cream," the team creates shakes in traditional flavours that stay thoroughly chilled for eons.

Etobicoke's seasonal go-to for ice cream in all its forms, this popular spot makes shakes in a range of soft-serve flavours — from orange to sarsaparilla and blue raspberry. Decide on yours, then weigh the merits of ordering a regular shake versus the ice-cream loaded extra thick.

The menu at this Scarborough spot is a who's who of diner faves, from all-day breakfast to the properly towering triple-decker club. Side any order with a frosty, dense milkshake — in modest vanilla or more involved apple pie — and savour a taste of a simpler time.

True to its name, this charming Scarborough café doles out a seemingly endless array of sugary treats. Ultra-smooth and sweet, milkshakes can be flavoured with red velvet, lotus, mango and more, and are best split among two.

You haven't truly lived until you've slurped a silky, shiver-inducing milkshake alongside a banquet burger at this veteran Scarborough joint. Straightforward and attractively inexpensive, in three classic flavours, these are nostalgia's perfect shakes

Working to the hum of the milkshake maker, the team at this Danforth East spot works diligently to sate sweet cravings. Made with Kawartha Dairy ice cream, shakes are rich, thick and velvety, and available in a range of flavours.

The perfect partner to chef Friday's California-style smash burgers, his hand-spun shakes are like liquid dessert. Seek them out at the Danforth East shop, in chocolate, banana cream pie and strawberry cheesecake.

From a team that never shies away from excess, premium, old-school, even super-freak shakes, make dessert dreams a reality, day in and day out. Find every over-the-top creation on Queen West and at other locations of this burgeoning chain.
