Black Tap
If there’s one place in Abu Dhabi that’s known for its milkshakes, it’s Black Tap. These ice cream creations take creativity to the next level with chunks of cake, stacks of sprinkles and whack-loads of whipped cream. Take the cookie shake, for instance, which comes with a vanilla-frosted rim, cookie crumbles, a cookie ice cream sandwich, crumbled cookies, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. Talk about mega milkshakes in Abu Dhabi.

Open daily, noon-midnight. Mamsha Al Saadiyat, blacktapme.com
Central
Central might be home to bowling, burgers and arcade games at Yas Bay Waterfront, but don’t sleep on some of the best milkshakes in Abu Dhabi while you’re there. These shakes are pretty hard to ignore. For example the “pretzel of Azkaban” (we appreciate the pun almost as much as the shake) is served with salted caramel milkshake, dulce de leche, pretzels, marshmallow, jelly beans, peanut butter cups, toffee, homemade peanut brittle and whipped cream. These milkshakes in Abu Dhabi are actually insane.

Open Mon-Thu 4pm-midnight, Fri-Sat noon-3am, Sun noon-midnight. Yas Bay Waterfront (058 587 1765).
Pickl
Pickl is always doing something new and cool on the dessert front, and we often find ourselves drooling over its latest milkshake creations. Take the pumpkin spice gooder shake, for instance. Packed with pumpkin spiced ice cream and topped off with whipped cream, salted caramel syrup and cinnamon sugar, this shake is autumn in a cup. Pickl is always switching up its seasonal offerings, and if pumpkin spice isn’t your thing, the good ol’ chocolate shake is another winner. Ready… Set? Start slurping those shakes.

SALT
SALT has been around forever, starting as a humble food truck before it exploded into popularity across the UAE and GCC. The lotus shake at SALT is one of the best milkshakes in Abu Dhabi, but chocolate-lovers will stand by the brownie option. Whichever camp you belong to, you’re going to love this treat. And if you prefer a fruity milkshake, the mango flavour is a delicious option too. Just be sure to sip slowly to avoid a brain freeze.

Sugar Factory
From a place called Sugar Factory – you’d expect some wacky, sugar-laden creations, and let’s just say, they ain’t called insane milkshakes for nothing. Behold the Tie Dye: vanilla ice cream blended with red and yellow white chocolate ganache and generously topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, and some show-stopping candy floss. And yes, that’s a chocolate and sprinkle-covered glass it comes in. Anyone else feeling like a little kid again?
