A vanilla milkshake at 9 in the morning? Um, yes, please! I stopped in on Saturday morning and was welcomed right away. It smelled terrific inside, and the hunger started to kick in. Before coming in from checking out the menu online, I knew I wanted a simple vanilla milkshake. I ordered it without the espresso. I also added their breakfast sandwich with bacon to have something savory for breakfast. The milkshake was a delicious, rich, creamy vanilla with a nice amount of whipped cream and a wafer. The breakfast sandwich was excellent, and it had the perfect fluffy egg. The bacon was nice and flavorful, and the hot sauce I added that they provided added that nice kick to tie it all together. A powerful bite packed in between an English muffin. Both the milkshake and sandwich hit the spot, and I devoured them with great satisfaction. I will definitely be coming here again.

Cookies n' Cream Shake: Better Together Cafe is located in South Milwaukee near the entrance to scenic Grant Park. The cafe opened in 2021 by owners Becky and Zach Kinzer. Its name comes from their belief that some things are better together, such as people and coffee with ice cream. It was a bit weird walking in for the first time as that building was a Dairy Queen for my entire life until 2021. Let me tell you though, I visited in the afternoon and it far more crowded than DQ ever was. The place was packed! Staff were super friendly and considering the crowd, service was quick. I found the interior to be tastefully decorated, clean, and cozy. Their menu offers a variety of coffees, a few different food options, and over ten different shakes, including a gluttonous "The Better Shake" aka their shake of the month. I went with their Cookies n' Cream shake, which is made with OREO cookies, milk, chocolate syrup, and ice cream. The version with espresso was tempting, but it would have been too much caffeine late in the day for me. Anyways, my caffeine-free version was extra thick and contained a plethora of crushed OREO pieces along with a generous amount of whipped cream doused in thick ribbons of chocolate syrup. There's even a conspicuously placed whole OREO gracing the top. The nostalgia may be gone from that building, but delicious ice cream is there to stay. Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews
