Fountain Court Café at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula

23625 Holman Highway (CHOMP), Monterey (831) 624-5311, chomp.org

The ’80s saw a long list of fad diets. Was the milkshake diet ever a thing? Probably not. No matter – for the best milkshakes in town, head over to the Fountain Court Café inside the hospital. (Ironic, no?) The shakes here are just what the doctor ordered. Well, maybe if your doctor is Doogie Howser. Milkshakes are made to order, serving up a healthy dose of nostalgia for retro soda shop staples like floats and Orange Flips too. Just remember, the hospital’s doctors will probably urge you to take your milkshakes in moderation.
