Delicious Milk shakes! The line was a little long and it seemed to go at a slower speed. But once you order the time to get your Milkshake is very short. My wife and I enjoyed our shakes very much. They also have a number of other chocolate items such as chocolate covered s’mores, chocolate bark, and others. I highly recommend if you are looking to satisfy your sweet tooth.
This place is wonderful!! Great customer service, great decorations and good music. I love their 4 dairy free shake options too, it was a surprising but incredibly welcome realization that enjoying a cold treat wasnt going to cause me pain. I would definitely come here again!
Huge shakes. A bit over priced but worth the quality.
By far the best sundae I’ve ever had. I ordered the bananas foster sundae and it was perfection in a cup. The quality of the ice cream is un marched. I was only sorry that I was not able to finish it all. I will definitely go back.
A MUST TRY PLACE when you are in Pittsburgh. It is one of the best milkshakes that I have ever had. I ordered the Chocolatier which was absolutely delicious. If you have a sweet tooth this place will definitely satisfy it. The price too is right for the quality and quantity they offer. The milkshake is thick, containing their signature chocolate and can stay with you for quite some time! Cheers!
Nice location and bright shop... Makes it inviting to try. But the shakes itself are not worth $8 price tag. Very average shake... not thick. Thinned out with too much milk as other reviewers have noted. Should have taken it back to the counter. Numerous fast food chains offer way better shakes at half the price... no exaggeration! Was excited to try a gourmet, special shake but instead was disappointed.#dontbelievethehype
Hmm, was ok. Based on the reviews I was expecting amazing. It was good but not blow your mind kind of good. Cookies and cream milkshake.
Addicting. I try to stay away but I cant. Love the mint chip shakes! The young people working in there are always friendly and patient.
Milkshakes were very good, but the staff was not incredibly accommodating. They cycle you through very quickly and wouldnt let my wife feed our 7 month old out of the heat for just a few minutes. This was disappointing to me.
Good dairy free options had chocolate peanut butter shake. YUM!
Its called the milkshake factory. You can imagine they are good at shakes. Delicious
The sundae and milk shake we got brought the boys to the yard... Aka they were great! Will definitely be back again. The customer service was awesome
Great place for... Milkshakes! I stopped by for a quick treat and got a banana Foster milkshake. Just sweet enough, the presentation was fantastic! True banana flavor, not artificial at all. Workers seemed to really care about getting the milkshakes just right. Would definitely come back again to try more flavors!
General Manager was very helpful and the milkshakes were delightful. The chocolate was outstanding and very exotic. Workers were polite for the most part.
The absolute best place to get a milkshake, dessert, or sweet treat! I got a S’mores Milkshake and it blew my mind! So much flavor and sweetness! I was so impressed! This is the place to get your weekend going! Can’t wait to go back and try another shake! I can’t speak for the weekend for during their week there is usually no lines and they are fast to make. A new “must do” in downtown Pittsburgh!
I loved the place! The milkshakes are amazingly tasty! We went daily the week we were in Pittsburg. The place is really nice, they have the products they sell all around, so you cant avoid getting something else. Its kind of crowed sometimes and theres a long line to get milkshakes, but its definitely worth it the wait (and its not really a long one). They have a good service.
We were in the city for a Penguins game and had to stop by The Milkshake Factory for some pregame delights. The location is easy to find. We road in on the T and got off at the Wood St. Station. It was a short walk from there. The atmosphere was very cozy and inviting. It was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. They not only have ice cream the have a nice assortment of chocolate candy, different flavor bark, and other sweet treats. Since we were there on a game day, we of course ordered a couple Jake Shakes. The presentation was great right down to the chocolate 59 on top. The shake was great and the price was not more than I had expected. If you find yourself in the downtown area and need a sweet treat, I would highly recommend The Milkshake Factory.
Very good milkshakes each one comes with a chocolate candy on top it says their logo on it very good try the chocolate strawberry dipped on last trip prices are about the same as other places for milkshakes anymore but overall great place to stop in and very clean and friendly staff.
Great milkshakes. Do not expect a cheap $4 DQ shake from this place. Fairly priced for the quality and presentation of the milkshake you receive. Good date night spot. Could even come here if youre lactose intolerant since they have dairy free milkshakes
Great milkshakes! I wish there was a Milkshake Factory near me.
Delightful shakes and candies served by extra-friendly, kind staff members, in a clean and chic setting. Two of us split a shake on a hot summer evening and it was the perfect sweet end to a fantastic night out in downtown Pittsburgh.
Really a neat shop and reasonably priced. The ice cream was delicious.
The best milkshake Ive ever had. Hands down. Id drove 2 hours to have this again
Its amazing what you can get for under $10. They really do a great job with speed, service and quality. The variety of presentations certainly entices the taste buds and whether youre getting confections or frozen treats, its a delight. I tried the stroopwaffle sundae and was not disappointed. We hung around and chatted with our friends for hours. The place is wonderful and well kept, even in heavy traffic hours. And while the line got very long at times, no one ever waited more than 10 minutes to not just get their order but also find a seat. They have lots of locations so no matter where you are, theres one nearby. I only found fault with one thing and that is their vanilla ice cream which they use as a base seemed slightly bland if you didnt have any of the other bits and toppings in your bite. But even then I couldnt call it bad or disappointing. Go there and have dessert.
I love there milk shake delicious to the last drop will go back there again
I think I may be partial because my work is so close to The Milkshake Factory but they have some of my favorite desserts! Each month they feature a different milkshake while always offering the classics.In addition to the milkshakes, they have a large variety of chocolates. My personal favorite Id the chocolate covered stroopwafel.If you are a local or visiting Pittsburgh be sure to visit The Milkshake Factory!
My family went to this place to celebrate my mother’s birthday as a sweet treat. The food is a little pricey but it’s not like I get it daily. I could tell when I tried my shake that it was made with quality ingredients. It had a creamy and soft texture. The staff are nice, but were a little slow making the shakes. Stop by if you are craving a sweet treat!
By far the best milkshakes around!
Quick with taking orders, very nice employees, and they have delicious options for dairy free milkshakes!
Expensive! Only one size shake available! Small!!!Didnt taste that great either!
Perfect PB and chocolate shake! So good!
Best milkshakes EVER! only one size though..
This place needs to Franchise its a unique concept
UPDATED: Sept. 1, 2018: Still a great shop all the way around. Stuck with the same shake I had last visit. Only problem is the brownie bits and small chocolate chips within the shake tend to clog up the straw, so it’s probably best at first to use a spoon on this. Music was thumping and a bit loud, not to my taste, maybe it was New Wave Rap or something. This shop deserves a more elegant style of music to go with the decor and high-end treats.May 28, 2017: Gorgeous shop, friendly staff, HUGE selection of sweets and treats. I had the Brownie Fudge shake and it was absolutely decadent. Highly recommend this place! Ill definitely be back. :)
Great milkshakes, high price, but high quality. My advice would be to include some more vegan/dairy free options. Definitely a treat yourself dessert.
Amazing shakes !!! Love the unique selections of flavors. The chocalate selection is very nice too.
I really needed to use the bathroom while walking around downtown Pittsburgh and none of the places had public bathrooms so we went to this place and bought some chocolate, bathrooms are for customers only but at least they have one available
They have the best milk shakes ever...
You can taste good quality of milk and chocolate.
Excellent Customer Service and AMAZING shakes!
I don’t usually drink milkshakes but these were good.
Soooo delicious! First of all, I like how there is a self service station to place your order, makes the whole experience super quick and easy. I had the Stroopwafel Sundae. The only downside to this visit is the lack of sitting space (and its pretty packed tonight). We managed to find a seat but it would be nice if there was more sitting space.
Funny enough, the worst thing about this place is the milkshakes. Have you ever wanted an Oreo and you get a Hydrox? That’s basically getting a shake from here. The ice cream is fair but they cheap out on the add ins for all the shakes. You can go about anywhere and get a better shake ordering a plain vanilla or chocolate. Just wait for winter and get a hot chocolate.
Delicious milkshakes, unique combinations. A must for Pittsburgh visitors. And great options for everyone.
Im not embarrassed to say that we stopped here on every night of our trip. I was hooked after ordering the Jake Shake on our first night, and tried many other gourmet shakes from the Red Velvet, Cookie Dough, and Salted Caramel. Our business party ordered almost every shake on the gourmet menu during our stay in Downtown...and while there are some shakes that are better than others, one thing was consistent, we always finished.The hype was real, and the Milk Shake Factory blows away our states overhyped version which is sadly known as Shake Shack. Cant wait to try ALL the versions when we are back in town!!
I had a shake as thick as Beyonce it was delicious
Delicious Shakes little pricey but definitely worth it!
My fiancé & I were in town for a few days and noticed that The Milkshake Factory was super close to our hotel, so we just had to stop in! We opted for the Chocolate Covered Bacon Milkshake, though there were tons of other awesome flavors to choose from. I have to say, this Milkshake was one of the best ever!!! It had so much bacon in it, plus an amazing piece of chocolate covered bacon on top. When we come back to Pittsburgh we will definitely be coming here again! They also had tons of chocolate & chocolate covered treats available as well!
Delicious yumm milk shakes
Delicious dairy free mint chocolate milkshake!
Best milkshakes hands down!! Facility is very clean and they have a nice offering for people with food allergies. Highly recommend!
Wonderful service and top of the line products
Simple yet delicious milkshakes at a great price!
