Best Shake Shack Shakes: Hand Spun Custard Reviews

If you have never had a Shake Shack milkshake you are missing out on one of the creamiest treats around. Their shakes are legendary because they do not use standard ice cream. Instead they spin them daily using rich, freshly churned frozen custard. This yields a much thicker, denser, and incredibly satisfying consistency.

Rank #1: Oreo & Cookies Cream Shake

Our absolute favorite. Velvety vanilla custard blended with high grade Oreo cookie crumbs, topped with fresh whipped cream. The cookie pieces retain their bite, offering a beautiful chocolate crunch against the smooth, sweet vanilla base of the Oreo Shake. It is thick, chocolatey, and completely addictive.

Rank #2: The Classic Dutch Chocolate

For the chocolate purist. Made with premium imported Dutch cocoa blended into chocolate custard. It has a deeply sophisticated, dark cocoa-rich flavor profile rather than a cloying sugary taste. The Chocolate Shake pairs perfectly with salty hot crinkle cut fries.

Rank #3: The Black & White Shake

A retro New York classic. Slow spun vanilla custard blended with premium chocolate fudge sauce. The Black & White Shake offers a subtle marbled flavor balance that satisfies both vanilla and chocolate cravings simultaneously.
