  Oreo Express Shake (Serendipity 3)

  Coffee Chocolate Pudding Shake

  Coffee Chocolate Pudding Shake (Gordon Ramsay BurGR)

  BurGR’s custard-y ice cream and pudding hybrid shakes must be consumed to be understood. This blend—coffee ice cream and chocolate hazelnut pudding—is our favorite. Planet Hollywood, 785-5555.
