Description
We’re Orange County's Favorite Neighborhood Ice Cream Shop.
Since first opening its doors in 2017, The Straw Modern Milkshakes has become a fixture of the Costa Mesa community. Inspired by the nostalgia of the 1950s, owner Patrick Nguyen sought to blend that vintage feeling with the multicultural heritage of Los Angeles and Orange County, as well as the nightlife of Southern California. Drawing upon his extensive culinary and bartending background, Patrick combined traditional and ethnic flavors to create innovative milkshake offerings.
The Straw Modern Milkshakes features ice cream and milkshakes with an option to add alcohol, as well as a selection of coffees, teas, craft sodas and beers, vegan options, and more. Beyond an ice cream shop, The Straw is a destination eatery and community hub, hosting open mic nights, car meets, painting nights, and other events that draw both locals and visitors together.
Based on its phenomenal operational success and growth over the past seven years, The Straw Modern Milkshakes is ready to bring Orange County’s favorite neighborhood ice cream shop to new markets with franchise offerings.
