The heat of the summer calls for something that’s cold enough to quench your thirst, something that’s sweet enough to fulfill your cravings, and that something could only be milkshakes. Their easy recipe makes it possible to play around with their flavor in a way that they can taste like Nutella, plain vanilla, and everything in between. Conclusively, the frothy top of the ice-cold drink is what a perfect summer day is incomplete without. We’ve curated a list of 9 milkshake places in Islamabad:
1. This chain is run by 3 cousins from Lahore
Juice Land (@juiceland_isb) came into being in 2015 when 3 cousins from Lahore decided to quit their day job and open a juice bar in Bahria Town, Islamabad. Initially, due to limited funds, they were working in a small space, making the juices themselves, and running the store alongside that. However, their business has grown over time and they now have 5 juice bars spread over Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The juice bar serves 21 different flavors of milkshakes!

Baskin-Robbins’ (@baskinrobbinspk) is an international ice cream parlor chain that came into being in 1945 when Irv Robbins, an ice cream enthusiast and US military veteran, opened a shop in Glendale, California. Shortly after, his brother-in-law returned from WW2 and opened his ice cream parlor in Pasadena, California. The two decided to merge their businesses and with the flip of a coin, Baskin’s name got the billing. Alongside customers being able to make their shakes with their favorite flavors, Baskin-Robbins offers 5 premium flavors . Their prices range between Rs.600 and Rs.1,100.
