CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) – Ever want to go back in time and share a milkshake with your significant other or a friend in a same-sider booth? Well, now’s your chance to do that at the latest addition to River North.
On Feb. 28, JoJo’s Milk Bar opened in Chicago’s River North neighborhood offering loaded milkshakes, Instagram-friendly desserts, diner eats and more.
“A milk bar as a category has been looked at in several different ways across the world. In Europe, you will see them as more of a social atmosphere and an area where families can come and get approachable diner fare. In Australia and other places, they are much more hip, and cool, and fun, and they are really geared towards a more youthful audience.
“I don’t think anyone has left without trying a milkshake,” Schloss said.
JoJo’s Milk Bar does not serve up just any milkshakes. Their milkshakes are over-the-top and whimsical featuring flavors like the “Girl Scout” topped with a homemade Thin Mint cookie and the “Cherry Poppins” topped with a chocolate-covered poprocks stick and a cherry-chocolate cookie.
The latest dessert menu addition? Milk bars!
“The notion of the ‘Next-Generation Milk Bar’ speaks to the casual, but cool vibe that lives on in JoJo’s, while creating an entirely new experience as we draw on inspiration from milk bars around the world,” Schloss said.
Be sure to keep up to date with JoJo’s Milk Bar on the website, Facebook or Instagram @jojosmilkbar.
And live out their motto: “Shakes, Fries, and Damn Good Vibes.”
