> Milkshakes per se are a bit out of fashion but nowadays the fashion is "coffee shops" like Starbucks

Milkshakes are one of the most popular things Starbucks sells.

Though for unfathomable reasons they insist on adding coffee to almost all of them, as if that were the reason people buy milkshakes.

Yeah they are not milkshakes they are coffee! ;)
They appear to offer "creme frappuccinos" in a section of the menu that in at least some Starbucks is labeled "non-coffee". I can't actually tell whether those frappuccinos are also coffee, or not. The official ingredients are things like "Frappuccino Chips" and "Mocha Sauce", preventing you from knowing what's in them.
