Shake Shop

I live locally but had never been to the Shake Shop. This afternoon, my sister and I sat under the John's Pass Bridge for a few hours to enjoy the water and the breeze without baking in the sun. It was still quite warm out though. On the way home we drove down Gulf Boulevard for a few miles and saw the Shake Shop. We decided to try it and we were so glad that we did. My sister had a Chocolate Ice Cream Soda and I had a Coffee Milkshake. I've never seen coffee as a milkshake flavor anywhere else so I had to try it. It was perfect! The coffee flavor was not too strong and it was just a seriously pleasing afternoon sweet treat. My sister loved her ice cream soda. She said it reminded her of the kind we had as kids in New Jersey at the old fashioned soda fountain shoppes. So if you happen upon this sweet little place on Treasure Island, do stop in.

Good soft serve, lots of toppings to try, family liked some "special" shakes. This place does get busy. They cleaned ablnd sanitized the blender for a family member that has a peanut allergy before making his shake, and informed us that his may take a little longer because of the extra care. That's GREAT customer care!

Best bang for your buck. Friendly staff each visit we went. Soft serve in vanilla, twist, or chocolate. Shakes and malts. Sundaes and splits. My family has tried about a dozen different menu items over the past week and none were disappointing. Favs include the banana split in a cup and the peanut butter shake. VERY reasonable prices. Just wish there was more seating...

Shake Shoppe is a Treasure Island institution. Long line but as always worth the wait. Only 2 young people inside and working their butts off the keep things moving, impressive. Please think to put something in the tip jar for them as it's a tough job and they are proficient at it. Prices are much lower that I thought they would be. Small Sundae, a shake and large fudge delight for about $13.00 or so was more than fair. Only took off a star based on some of the clients not being able to decide what they wanted despite having been in line for 30 minutes. 🙄

The place was wonderful. The banana split was awesome even on 59 degree evening. The ice cream was unique, it was similar to Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme, but super cold. I would go again and I would get the Classic banana split for $6.50, that includes the tax. The young girls were joyful and seemed to like what they were doing.
