We love just about everything at this American-diner-meets-Middle-Eastern-falafel-shop, but it’s the baklava milkshake we can’t get enough of. Owner Danny Sweis mixes thick vanilla bean gelato with salted caramel and big chunks of baklava in an old-school milkshake machine to nail the texture. It’s creamy, gooey, and a perfect summer indulgence. $8.95. 4409 N. Broadway, Uptown
