Over the Top Milkshakes Near Ann Arbor

When I first saw the Milkshake Factory signs go up in Westgate Shopping Center, I had high hopes for over the top milkshakes. While they offer gourmet milkshakes, their focus is on the shake itself and not the over the top toppings.

The Signature Milkshakes have fillings inside the shake, but are contained in the cup itself.

I ordered a Not Milkshake which is ice cream with toppings layered in it. Mine was Peanut Butter Meltaway Cookie Sunday. My daughter had a Confetti Frosted Cupcake shake, and my husband had Salted Caramel Pretzel milkshake.

While not overflowing with toppings these milkshakes were easier to drink and we didn’t have to worry about treats falling off.

I wish they would add some outdoor seating. The restaurant was very loud inside.

Christina’s Sweet Treats offers several fancy milkshake options. My daughter and I opted to share a chocolate chip cookie dough milk shake.

The milkshake was a manageable size (16 oz). The cup is yours to keep, but you will save money on your next shake if you bring it back clean.

We thought the milkshake was a half-way point between a regular milkshake and an over the top milkshake. There was only the cookie dough bites on the rim and one cookie. The cookie was also taken from either the fridge or freezer and was hard.

My husband enjoyed his Dole Whip – a definite treat. I was also intrigued by the idea of ice cream nachos. But, on this visit we were on a mission to get the milkshake.

I tried the ice cream nachos on a subsequent visit. I loved the combo of waffle cone chips with ice cream, but not having to worry about a dripping cone. It is also much easier to share.
