Friesland Milk Bar

Often called the best milkshake in South Africa, Friesland is more than just a dessert stop, it’s a family-run business built on heritage, tradition, and an uncompromising commitment to quality. From its humble beginnings as a dairy farm to becoming a nationally recognised milkshake icon, this is a story of legacy done right.
