Canberra's famed (and aptly named) Freakshakes have finally reached our shores. Set in Raffles Holland V, the new building across the road from Holland Village, Patissez will win sugarholics over with their over the top milkshakes. Choose from four creations, all stunning, sweet and absolutely delish — just be sure to save it for cheat days! For the uninitiated, go easy on your sweet tooth with the Pretzella ($16) — Nutella shake, vanilla mousse, pretzels and lots and lots of Nutella. The salty crunch of the pretzels add a much welcomed savoury dimension to this drink (or should we say dessert?). Apart from sweets, this joint also serves up some tasty mains like their Freak Burger ($25), so make a long brunch out of this visit. Just be sure to share the shakes.
Avg price: $20 per person
