Newport cafe takes milkshakes to another level

Posted

The milkshakes at Kaffeology in Newport are works of edible, drinkable art. They’re topped with things like pop tarts, cotton candy, chocolate bars, toasted marshmallows, cannoli, and salted pretzels. They push the boundaries of the glass in which they’re contained, dripping over the sides and precariously towering above the rim. They’re big, beautiful, and bold. “The concept for the shop and the milkshakes have all been inspired by my travels around the world. I wanted to bring together all the things I love under one roof and share it with everyone,” says owner Andreea Marin. “Many of the milkshakes were inspired by my family and friends!” The Bam Bam – a vanilla milkshake blended and rimmed with fruity pebbles and topped with a pop tart, cotton candy, gummies – is an ode to her younger sister, who loves the Flintstones-inspired cereal. Then The Pacino – chocolate shake with a freshly pulled espresso shot, topped with chocolate ice cream and fresh cannoli and rimmed with chocolate chips – is a tribute to her mother’s Italian roots.

Check out descriptions of all five milkshakes online or stop in at 359 Thames Street, Newport.
