Calgary’s Best Milkshakes

Calgary knows how to make a good milkshake. Classic vanilla or wild creations loaded with cookies and candy, these spots cover all the bases. Here’s a handful of shake shops that are worth checking out!

Regrub
Deerfoot City | Beltline locations

Regrub has built a reputation for shakes that are as wild to look at as they are to drink. Think doughnuts stacked on top, chocolate bars jutting out, and whipped cream piled high. It is indulgence turned into art, and worth every sticky sip.

Peter’s Drive-In

Peter’s is a Calgary institution; they’ve been around since 1962. This is the place if you’re craving the thickest shake. Choose up to 3 different flavours to put together, giving you over 4,500 milkshake flavor combinations — the possibilities are almost endless.

New on the Calgary food scene, The Fancy Induced Burger offers a variety of shakes. You can choose from two size options with flavours like Blue Raspberry, Mocha Java and Lotus. Any one of their milkshakes pairs perfectly with the halal burger — try one with an indulgent syringe cheese shot! (The burger not the milkshake.)

Bussin Burger

You can’t miss the big pink sign in Inglewood for Bussin Burger. Beef and chicken burgers are on the menu, and the shakes are creamy and indulgent. Their signature Bussin Shake is a decadent combination of Ferrero Rocher, strawberries, milk chocolate sauce, whipped cream and vanilla ice cream.

Flipp’n Burgers

We know that burgers and milkshakes make a perfect pairing and that’s certainly true at Flipp’n Burgers. They offer a variety of classic flavours as well as shakes like Creamsicle, Blue Bubblegum and Root Beer Float.

Rosie’s Burgers
1509 8 St SW

While classic burgers and banana cream pudding are what come to mind when Rosie’s is mentioned, they also have milkshakes that deserve attention. Their handspun shakes, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and cookies & cream, are simple and classic, and perfect with a burger.

Clive Burger
