Milkshakes are one of those food items that have a lot of variation. Whether you like simple flavors or something wacky with over-the-top additions, you'll find every kind of milkshake across Kansas. However, this Kansas restaurant is one place where you'll find amazing milkshakes that are the perfect blend between classic flavors and something a little more decorated than your local soda shop. Come take a sip!

Let me introduce you to The Pennant, a restaurant in Topeka that's not only serving up amazing grub, but some of the best milkshakes around.

The Pennant opened up in March of 2018, and has been serving sliders, sides, and shakes every day since then. They focus on local ingredients and making everything from scratch whenever possible.

Besides their great business practices, you'll find that it's not just a restaurant -- there's plenty to do here before or after you order. They have a bunch of arcade machines to spend time reminiscing about, or you can enjoy their mini bowling alley during your visit instead.

Of course, most of our draw to this spot involves a sweet, creamy drink that's simply irresistable: the milkshake! They aren't your average milkshakes, either. Each flavor is topped with something to make it extra special, sometimes even a while ice cream cone and cotton candy!

They do serve flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry, but what fun is that? They have plenty of flavors to leave you guessing for a while which might be your next favorite. I guess you'll just have to keep trying them!

Choosing one of their signature flavors like nutty buddy, praline, donut, and cookies and cream is only dipping your toes into the ocean of possibilities here. They only get more crazy as you move along, with options like alcoholic shakes or their Over the Rainbow (pictured on the right).

Next time you're looking for a bite to eat and one amazing milkshake, stop by The Pennant sometime. They're open from 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

You'll find The Pennant at 915 S Kansas Ave, Topeka, Kansas.

We love milkshakes no matter the time of year, but this restaurant is the perfect stop to make during a road trip like this thrift shopping trip we put together for Kansas.
