Ask a regular what brings them back to Next Stop Cafe in Winnipeg, and a surprising number will answer: the milkshake. Yes — we're known for kebabs, but our milkshake bar has quietly built a cult following on Pembina Hwy. Here's why.
Real ice cream, no shortcuts
Most milkshakes you'll find around the city are made with soft-serve or thinned-out ice milk. Ours start with premium full-fat ice cream, cold whole milk, and whatever flavouring we're hand-blending that day. No syrup pumps. No powders. The result is thick enough to hold a straw upright and rich enough to share.
Twenty flavours, including some you won't find anywhere else
Alongside the classics — chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, Oreo — we offer Persian-inspired shakes you genuinely cannot find at any other cafe in Winnipeg:
- Saffron-Pistachio — real Iranian saffron and roasted pistachios. Our most-ordered shake.
- Persian Rose — rosewater, cardamom, and a touch of honey.
- Date & Walnut — Medjool dates and toasted walnuts. Tastes like dessert from a Tehran tea house.
- Faloodeh-style — lime, rose, and vermicelli for crunch.
Loaded shakes for the brave
Our loaded shakes come topped with whipped cream, brownie chunks, Persian sweets, or a slice of cheesecake balanced on the rim. Perfect for sharing — or not.
Why milkshakes belong on a Persian menu
In Iran, cold blended drinks are a year-round ritual. Faloodeh, cold pomegranate juice, saffron ice cream (bastani) — these are part of everyday life. Our milkshake menu is a love letter to that tradition, served the way Winnipeggers like it: cold, thick, and big.
