Fudge Farm by Goodyhouse is Pittsburgh’s premier fudge destination, but did you know it has absolutely amazing milkshakes? They’re so big and so decadent that they’re served with a styrofoam cup protecting any contents that want to stray from the bigger milkshake glass. Their shakes are adorned with Belgian waffles, entire brownies and more. Best part of it all is the milkshakes are named after bars in the South Side. Once patrons get their shakes, they can sip them on the adult-sized swings that are scattered about the sweet shop. So fun!
