Cowfish 6000 Universal Blvd. #700; 407-224-2275 Avoid the uneven birthday cake mix offered at Steak ‘n Shake and try the one at this CityWalk establishment instead. The slight rise in price is worth it; Mia Wallace surely wouldn’t complain. Photo via raleighfoodpics/Instagram
Scoops Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Store 99 W. Plant St.; 407-656-3369 We’re living in a world where shake prices are rising just as often as gas prices it seems. Don’t worry Orlandoian wallets; Scoops has you covered. Photo via wnunez1/Instagram
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop 1800 Epcot Resorts Blvd.; 407-939-3463 Your shake outcome rests solely in your hands being that you can make one out of any of the ice cream flavors in the store. It’s a lot of responsibility, but you’ll be fine as long as you don’t mention anything to Daniel Plainview. Photo via rikki.p/Instagram
5 & Diner 13001 Founders Square Drive; 407-757-0978 The UCF side of town isn’t an area that’s enticing to non-college students, but you’ll want to make the trip out anyway for their experimentation with Reese’s and Butterfinger. Photo via 5 & Diner website
4 Rivers Smokehouse 1600 W. Fairbanks Ave.; 407-474-8377 Everyone is so focused on the solid barbecue options that no one ever seems to mention the sweet shop right by it. Dropping a cupcake into a batch of ice cream and blending it all together is as revolutionary as sliced bread. Photo via ashleigh.fallon/Instagram
Burger 21 4192 Conroy Road #109; 407-203-2848 The signature shakes — be it the Ybor City double espresso or the strawberry shortcake — are what make this place so special, but even the uncomplicated yet surprisingly thick chocolate option will do you well. Photo via Burger 21/Facebook
50’s Prime Time Café 351 S. Studio Drive; 407-939-3463 Diners and milkshakes go together like PB&J. Hell, there’s even a PB&J shake on the menu. Slip on your poodle skirt, gel up that pompadour and seep right into that ‘50s aesthetic. Photo via beourguestmike/Instagram
Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream 3114 Corrine Drive; 321-226-8685 Maple bourbon bacon. Blackberry rose jam. Sweet potato casserole. If you’ve thought of a flavor, Kelly’s probably has it already. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, you can even mix some of the dozen flavors together. Just make sure to go to the store instead of the truck for this kind of order; the former is the only one that serves shakes. Photo via rocdisway16/Instagram
Ethos Vegan Kitchen 601 S. New York Ave.; 407-228-3899 Just because you’re vegan doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on the shakes of the world. The current options here are only of the classic variety (chocolate, vanilla and strawberry) but that doesn’t mean they’re not worth sticking your straw into.

Kilwin’s Winter Park 122 N. Park Ave.; 407-622-6292 Park Avenue is full of lil’ surprises, this one included. When the employees say the shakes taste exactly like the flavors they’re advertised as, they sure ain’t kidding. Now go order a batch of toasted coconut. Photo via Kilwin’s/Facebook
Frosty King Creamery 1020 S. Ridgewood Ave.; 386-423-9939 Frosty King’s exterior might not catch your eye, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Ice cream made on-site, sugar-free options, a slew of flavors. You’ve got nothing to lose. Photo via factionless_freak/Instagram
Kings Orlando 8255 International Drive #120; 407-363-0200 The dinner menu will mention the regular and alcoholic shake of the week, but pay this no mind. Move yourself over to the bar and ask for The Dude, a Big Lebowski-themed shake that’ll really tie your night together. Photo via ce3.p/Instagram
Planet Hollywood 1506 Buena Vista Drive; 407-827-7827 The food here isn’t anything special, but at least there’s something to make up for it. Selection is small and the chocolate malt might sound plain, but beauty can be found in simplicity. Photo via elliotlancaster/Instagram
The Soda Fountain 2525 Edgewater Drive; 407-540-1006 If you’re dedicated enough, thin mint season never has to be over. The Soda Fountain, with their milkshake version of the classic Girl Scouts treat, has made sure of it. Photo via The Soda Fountain/Facebook
Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant 1640 Buena Vista Drive; 407-939-5277 Milkshakes are great. Alcohol is great. It’d only be natural to put them together. And so the Bailey’s shake was born. Photo via Ariene Hanson Donahue/Facebook
Johnny Rockets 9101 International Drive #1100; 407-903-0762 Chains are rather risky business when it comes to shakes, but when someone actually drops a mini apple pie or a handful of pretzels into their concoction, the world is reminded that exceptions do exist. Photo via nandodemarchi/Instagram
Beefy King 424 N. Bumby Ave.; 407-894-2241 Beefy King certainly doesn’t waste time with silly frills, what, with having only four options and all. Doesn’t mean that their milkshakes won’t be bringing you to their yard. Photo via ericdesalvo/Instagram
Shake Shack 8539 International Drive; 407-205-0362 This spot is a natural fit for all the I-Drive area con-goers throughout the year. Stay awake during your heavily scheduled weekend by ordering a coffee shake, with a 50-cent malt option if you’re itching for a stellar upgrade. Photo via Shake Shack/Facebook
Café Noir 501 N. Orlando Ave. #231; 407-644-6282 Tres leches on its own is already a gift from the gods. You bring it into milkshake form, and BAM, you’ve got paradise. This café isn’t made for nocturnal Orlandoians, however; it closes at 4 p.m. Photo via Cafe Noir/Yelp
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater 351 S. Studio Drive; 407-939-3463 S’mores are meant to be eaten fresh out of the campfire, but somehow the milkshake version, with its chunky collection of graham at the bottom of the glass, delights the senses anyway at this mock ‘50s drive-in. Photo via tradzak/Instagram
