Milk & Honey’s Chocolate Shake

Bottoms Up

By Anna Faller | Jan. 31, 2026

We’ll happily brave treacherous blizzard conditions for the promise of sweet and chocolatey treasure at the end of our trek! It’s all about pure dessert bliss at this Traverse City ice creamery, as their cakes, confections, and coffees are all free of GMOs and artificial additions. That means this deeply-chocolatey sip comprises only grass-fed milk and a heaping scoop of homemade chocolate ice cream (ingredients: locally and regeneratively farmed dairy, organic sugar, pink sea salt, vanilla extract, and two types of top-tier chocolate). It’s the creamy, richly cocoa-y answer to our sweetest dreams, made even more indulgent with a dollop of vanilla-spiked whipped cream on top. Oh, and don’t forget a finishing drizzle of house chocolate sauce! Your confectionary quest begins at Milk & Honey (240 E. Front St.) in Traverse City. milkandhoneytc.com
