The Straw: Modern Milkshakes
The Straw is a milkshake shop known for its large, creatively presented shakes served with vegan ice cream and whipped cream substitutes upon request. Many shakes, like the Cookies N Cream "The Street" and the Bangkok Betty, can be made fully vegan, although some flavors include non-vegan ingredients such as chocolate sauce. The venue features a cozy, stylish interior with music, board games, and outdoor seating with a fire pit, creating a fun spot ideal for solo or social visits despite its premium pricing.
