Freakshakes, otherwise known as loaded milkshakes, are the epitome of happiness. Just think, creamy ice cream submerged in bundles of chocolate, jellies, cakes, candy floss, doughnuts and more — all making the perfect concoction. With summer around the corner, we went on a mission to find the best Freakshakes in Auckland. Indeed, these milkshakes will certainly bring all the boys (and girls) to the yard.
1. The Freak Shack
The massive freakshakes, served on a dinner plate from just $14 at this place, will send you on a sugar high. Each monster shake consists of a scoop of ice cream, piled atop muffins or sweet treats, smothered in goodies. The menu is always changing with creative inventions, so head down to find out what you can indulge on this season.

2. Black Antler
This new beachside cafe and restaurant just opened at Browns Bay. Wonderfully, they serve OTT Freashakes from $12 alongside a number of creative dessert dishes. Read all about Black Antler here.
📍111 Clyde Road, Browns Bay, Auckland 0630, New Zealand
3. Cereal Killa Café
With some of the most famous OTT milkshakes around, you know you’ll be treated to something special. These insta-famous Killashakes come smothered in chocolate, candy and cakes. The menu is always evolving but one thing is for sure, it’s a unique dessert experience. Think the likes of the Unicorn, Red Velvet, Chocolate Nutella, Cotton Candy and plenty more.
📍 360 Dominion Road, Mount Eden, Auckland 1024, New Zealand
4. Ormiston Café
Demolish one of the top-quality shakes at this spot this weekend. Both kids and adults can enjoy an array of mouthwatering flavours. Opt for options such as The Black Forest or The Minty Midnight and worry about burning off the calories next week. We recommend pairing your shake with something from the tasty brunch menu for total bliss.
📍 1 Bellingham Rd Shop#5, Flat Bush, Auckland 2019, New Zealand
5. Crunch Tower Desserts
(Temporarily closed) Known for creating iconic desserts of dreams, this place is also home to over-the-top freakshakes. With more than 15 diverse customable shakes, you can’t go wrong. Think Macaron Magic, Nutella Ferrero Chocolate and Red Velvet Love. Each shake is topped with a never-ending list of treats from waffles to cakes, biscuits and more. They are totally worth the high price tag!
📍 279 Parnell Road, Parnell, Auckland 1052, New Zealand
6. Bald Eagle Diner
Some of the best freakshakes in Auckland are also hidden in this 1950s American diner. It’s the perfect place to slurp a Salted Caramel Shake or Hokey Pokey paired with burgers, loaded fries and more. Wonderfully, this is also one of the best places for an American feast in Auckland.
