A well-made milkshake is a thing of beauty. Though they're (obviously) known as frappes here in the Bay State, milkshakes are a staple of good, old-fashioned American diner food and there's no place to get them like Rosebud American Kitchen & Bar in Somerville. Here's why the milkshakes at this little city diner are the absolute best.
Rosbud's has been serving up diner classics since the 1940s, so they know a thing or two about milkshakes.
The shakes here are big, beautiful, and packed with zany syrups and toppings.
Rosebud's specializes in "boozy" shakes, which are just what they sound like: regular frappes with an alcoholic kick.
Of course, if you want your milkshakes rated PG, they're happy to hold the booze.
Chocolate and vanilla milkshakes are always on tap, but there's also a special weekly flavor that's usually pretty wild.
Special flavors include Lucky Charms, holiday gingersnap, candy bar, peach swirl, and Pop Rocks.
The flavors are usually seasonal, so you can be sure to find something that fits your mood.
And if you actually want a meal with that frappe, Rosebud's serves up yummy fare like bodacious burgers and craveworthy breakfasts.
But obviously, you should start with a milkshake.
Don't hold off on trying the out-of-this-world shakes at Rosebud's.
You can find Rosebud American Kitchen & Bar at 381 Summer St., Somerville, Mass. near Davis Square. For more information, current menus, and opening hours, click here. Have a sweet tooth? Check out this other amazing milkshake spot just around the corner.
