Where To Get A Vegan Milkshake in Seattle

Full Tilt makes some of the dreamiest vegan ice cream flavors in town. From cotton candy marshmallow to mint brownie to coffee oreo to salted popcorn - plus classics like chocolate - you are free to create the ultimate mix for your vegan milkshake, complete with hemp milk and vegan whip cream on top.

The best part is, Full Tilt has three locations across town to get your dreamy, creamy, milkshake fix! White Center is where the magical ice cream creation happens, so they usually have the most vegan flavors there.

They also make vegan ice cream cakes for your next celebration.

Don’t forget to bring some dollar bills to hit up their coin machine for a game of Pacman or pinball while you’re there. Visit Full Tilt

Next Level Burger’s shakes bring all the vegans to the yard, and oh baby, these ones are THICK!

Created with house-made organic vanilla soft serve ice cream, these shakes leave nothing to be missed, and might just be the best vegan milkshakes in Seattle.

First, choose from a soy or coconut base, then select from their delectable flavor options including peanut butter cup, orange cream, mint chocolate chip, strawberry, or coffee. Or mix it up by ordering the cookies and cream shake and add peanut butter to experience a little piece of heaven.

Thick, creamy, and rich with just the right amount of sweetness - these are THE milkshakes your omnivorous friends will be shocked to find out are actually vegan.

Next Level Burger also has rotating seasonal flavors for their shakes, so pop back in to see what’s new.

This Fremont eatery describes itself as a “funky, counter-service vegan joint specializing in burgers, fries & milkshakes with a laid-back vibe”.

Their vegan milkshakes at Galaxy Rune allow you to choose 1-2 flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, banana, malt, or Oreo cookies n’ cream.

The base is soy, but the ice cream is starch-based to create a neutral taste that allows the flavors of the milkshake to take center stage.

Luna Park Cafe is your classic greasy spoon diner in West Seattle, embellished with 1950’s style decor, complete with a juke-box.

Elvis would have felt right at home here sitting in a blue vinyl booth complete with a milkshake in a glass with a cherry on top.

The retro vibes create a fun atmosphere, but the real fun comes when your vegan milkshake order is ready. 

Blended up with locally made Full Tilt's coconut-based ice cream, Luna Park Cafe’s vegan shakes have stellar reviews.

Mix and match any of the vegan-friendly flavor offerings including peanut butter, mint, cherry, coconut, banana, strawberry, pineapple, and creamsicle. Visit Luna Park Cafe

If you’re in the mood to treat yourself to a more boujee milkshake experience, Hot Cakes is your place.

With strategic lighting that sets the ambiance, this cute local dessert shop is a destination you don’t want to miss. They also have adorable patio seating.

The ice cream used is from Frankie & Jo’s, a popular plant-based ice cream shop that is a sister company to Hot Cakes.

A stand-out feature of Hot Cakes vegan shakes is they are booze-able. Request to add some liquor to your shake to turn it up a little bit if that’s your jam. Visit Hot Cakes
