Milkshakes in Amsterdam, where can you find them? Once in a while, we just want a thick, cold milkshake made with milk or fresh cream. Especially when the sun is shining, we’re in the mood for a filling drink with flavors like strawberry, vanilla, or chocolate. That’s why we went on a milkshake hunt. We made a list of the best places to order milkshakes in Amsterdam. From ordinary milkshakes to freakshakes and boozy milkshakes.

Dignita
Oké, it’s not a milkshake, but it’s so tasty! The affogato (espresso with melted ice cream) is really good at Dignita. Tip: order our favorite dish: the Benny-Boy as well. It’s bacon on a crisp potato cake with two poached eggs, hollandaise apple cider, and Granny Smith apple.
