Milkshakes in The Alameda

The Alameda earned its milkshakes a century ago when streetcars ran the boulevard — and five minutes away, we still make them the era-appropriate way: hand-spun from real ice cream, no machine, no shortcuts, $8.79. Evening walkers on the historic stretch use the shake run as a destination; Diridon commuters have learned a Friday-evening pickup shake makes the week's last ride home measurably better.

Local Tip

Boulevard evening move: The Alameda's streetlight stretch makes the after-dinner walk, and our counter at minute five makes the destination. Commuter Friday special: the pickup shake for the last ride home — the week's best two-dollar-per-minute upgrade, no math disputed.
