We don’t mind saying it: whomever said milkshakes are a warm weather treat was quite simply wrong. If you don’t agree, then just consult your taste buds for a second opinion. Fortunately, in South Carolina there are few months with frigid temps anyway, making it even easier to slurp down a delicious, creamy treat all year long. Here are some of our favorite spots for milkshakes in the Palmetto State – how soon can you get to them all?
1. Carmella's Cafe and Dessert Bar - Charleston
A fine dessert after a satisfying meal in historic Charleston is pretty much a must when visiting the Holy City. And if you're looking for an "adult milkshake" that combines creamy ice cream with a nightcap beverage into a tall dessert glass... this is the place to go! Delicious! It's open seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Find it at 198 E Bay St. #100, Charleston, SC 29401.
