MilkShake Werks - Redwood City

On a warm summer evening, theres almost nothing better than good ice cream (and a run, but thats a post for a different blog).

We chanced upon MilkShake Werks (including their yelp link since the website seems to have been down for a while...) when we were at lunch close by. This family owner business has been churning out ice cream since 2007. No kidding, you can see the equipment behind the counter.

They are best known for the milkshakes, made with their own slow churned ice cream. All of you know, the secret to a good milkshake, is good ingredients. They have some of the most unique flavors I have ever seen. From dairy free coconut, to chocolate stout with Guinness, to the one we picked - nectarine and blackberry.

Now, I am not sure who came up with the idea of adding blackberries to nectarine ice cream, but the result is pure genius! You get a bowl that has so many flavor nuances, that you are left scraping the bottom of the bowl for some more. It is creamy, and soft, and just the right amount of sweet. So good in fact, that most people in our group ended up getting it.

They also do ice cream cakes, and pints and more if you want to take some home.

Nectarine Blackberry Ice Cream

I don't know about you, but I am definitely going back there to try the chocolate stout ice cream, and a milkshake (not on the same visit).
