Went here for to celebrate a friend's bday. Not too busy around 9pm. The staff was very nice and let us stay til closing. The milkshakes are really fun but overpriced. If you want all the fun toppings, the 16 oz milkshake is $13. The toppings are tasty but the milkshake itself could be a little thicker. This place has the potential to be really fun with a few tweaks! read more

Shake No Eight - Oreo Supreme Cookies N Cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

So, apparently, after delving into the reviews of this place, horrible customer service seems to be the main problem they were facing. However, they mist have changed staff or something, because when I went, there was only 1 person behind the counter and a help wanted poster on the door. He seemed so eager to have a customer and asked me all about my day, and was willing to explain the different menu options to me. The milkshake itself was just okay, but the 1 employee was so amiable that I give this place 4 stars. The place was barren, and given that the employee was just chilling outside the store before I came in, I think it is a safe bet to say that business wasn't going well. I hope that this business can do a little bit better because it seems that they have new, nicer employees. read more

My husband and I left the Gateway Theatre after seeing a movie and I, of course, was just craving something sweet. We stumbled into this place about 20 minutes before they were closing. It took probably 15 minutes to make my shake which I got to-go but boy did they deliver! It was this gorgeous art piece of a delicious milkshake. Far more than I was expecting but oh-so good. I will definitely be back. In going to post this, I read a few of the reviews -- complaints about max occupancy or stressed out employees -- and just want to remind everyone that we've been living in a crazy pandemic for almost two years. Go easy on restaurants and those in lines of service. This place is unique and awesome. I am so glad to see this in Columbus, and cannot wait to enjoy another milkshake there soon! read more

Waited for an hour in line outside of the store. Waited for another 25 minutes while inside. When we got out, someone asked, "Is it worth it?" I don't think. The shakes and crepes were pretty and OK delicious, as you can see in the pictures. But I don't think they're worth the wait and price. There are other options in Columbus with much better taste and price, and you don't have to wait for over an hour. I'm sure opening a store during the pandemic isn't easy, but management better sort out better staffing and customer service. From 12 noon until 2:30 pm on a Saturday, there were only 3 people working hard to complete orders. read more

1. Most importantly, the shake wasn't even good. And was $14!!!! For about a 16oz cup of thin milkshake, whip cream, icing on the side of the cup, and 4 Andes mints stuck in it, and a few m&ms. They definitely shouldn't do the "eight it up" option for to-go orders because it was hard to hold with all the icing on the side while people are wearing gloves in the winter. 2. There's got to be a better system for ordering. Since they allow seating inside, only x amount of customers can be inside at a time. So sometimes, when it's your turn to order, you can't even go inside to order until someone that was sitting leaves. The line is often out the door and it's hard to see inside. There's no # limit posted on the doors to know when you can go inside. Often you'll go in and then get kicked out. No one is near the door to help you know when you can go inside to order. 3. The wait was very long for a mediocre product. I wouldn't mind the wait if it was Jeni's lol read more

Shake No Eight - Mint shake, "eight it up" - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

All sources said this store opened at noon. At 12:30 the doors were locked and no one answering the phone. Bummer to make a special trip, pay $2.75 to park for 5 minutes, and then be disappointed. read more

The shakes are pretty good but it's the froof and Flaire that people come for. They are a bit over the top and pretty $$$ for what they are ($11+? For the fancy ones?) we got some simple shakes which were quite nice and cheaper. Not sure I'd come back but it was good. Have a few tables outside and dog friendly . Thanks read more

I've been waiting to try Shake No Eight for awhile now and today was the day! My daughter got the cotton candy shake with all the extras. My son got the cookies and cream with all the extras. I went with the coffee shake with no extras, not even whip cream. They were fantastic! The staff was friendly and attentive. The space was very clean and tidy. Such a cool spot to visit if you're ever in Columbus. We will definitely be back! read more

This place is amazing!! The attention to detail is fantastic and the interior of the store is beautiful.

Shake No Eight - Cotton Candy and Oreo! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

These shakes are amazing! The owner is extremely friendly and uses high quality ingredients. We went on a Friday afternoon and had a great experience. The kids were blown away at how detailed their shakes were and the adults were blown away at how delicious they were. You can tell it's not cheap ice cream! We will definitely go back! read more

WOW this place is a major hit in my book! My first visit wasn't planned - I was just wanting a milkshake and from somewhere a little more exciting than Dairy Queen. I randomly saw this one after searching for ice cream shops nearby. I am so glad I chose this one. It's very comfy inside - you walk in, and the entire atmosphere is just so inviting. The guys behind the counter greeted us right away and helped us understand the menu. We chose to do the Oreo shake and the coffee milkshake. There is an option to make your shake super fancy (I forget the name they call it - look for that option at the bottom of the menu on the wall!). Trust me, you are going to want to do this. Look at my picture and you'll see what I mean! The milkshakes look like works of art. Also - these milkshakes are what dreams are made of. They are SO TASTY! The flavor just smacks you right in the face and then kisses you on the forehead :) The oreo shake has a strong and rich cookies and cream taste, and the coffee milkshake has a very intense coffee flavor. I personally preferred the Oreo shake, but the coffee is also delicious. I can't wait to come back to try the other flavors! read more

This is a sweet place to get fabulous shakes! When we have family from out of town I always take them here. The price a little steep but I cannot say it is not worth it or else I wouldn't keep going back. Lol! read more

OK so this place I seen on social media looked amazing ! BUT ..... The Place open at 12:00 we got there at 12:30 and the line was already out the door waited 40 min to get in once we placed our orders waited close to an HOUR standing up because no sitting was available and they don't let you leave once you place your order so once they call your name you go up there and get your shake ... we decided to get ours to go because of no sitting the shake was ok definitely over priced read more

amazing shakes and brownies my sweet tooth was satisfied it was atmosphere. My cotton shake was very big and delicious and it was conveniently close to my university, which let me get it frequently and on a time basis. The service was amazing. The workers help me know what to get to make it and even better experience. read more

I took 4 crazy 10 year old girls to this place and we had the best time! The owner was patient and gave everyone tastes of cookies and candy as he made the shakes. They were a little too wild for indoors but he was so kind. It was an excellent experience. They have been begging to go back. And we will!! read more

Awesome place!! Friendly staff!! Next time I will def do add ons for the shake. The peanut butter shake needed a little chocolate.

First, the hours posted online are wrong. Second, they are supposed to open at noon and they didn't open till 12:20. Third, we walked in the building and the guy who was supposed to be making everything was too worried and yelling about "MAX CAPACITY." We counted 23 people total including the workers and the babies we had with us. Fourth, normal capacity is 51 so 23 people is NOT HALF CAPACITY. We were the fourth group in line. We heard the lady at the register say to the second group that there will be a minimum of 30 to 40 minute wait for a milkshake. The guy was constantly walking back and forth from behind the counter to the breaker box because breakers kept blowing. There was only 2 workers and they should know that they were going to be busy because they were featured on tiktok. Based off this experience, it makes us not want to come back. read more

We showed up at 12 noon when they are scheduled to be open, the door was locked with two staff members standing at the door. They opened the door to inform us that they would be open for another 30-45 minutes because they were restocking. My question is why ? They haven't sold an item for the day, what time did staff arrive for them to not be prepared to open at 12 noon??!? We watched them turn down at least another 15 customers while waiting in our car at a meter across the street. read more

I have to be honest, I feel like this place is overpriced and their advertisements are misleading. The milkshakes are already $10.88 but you don't get those beautiful creative candy coated glasses you see on their Instagram. No, for that you have to pay $15. For the basic shake all you get is the milkshake with whip cream and (in my case) an Andes mint on top. The milkshake tasted great but nowhere near being worth $11. I wouldn't recommend this place based on the pricing alone. If you're looking for a better option for these over the top milkshakes check out Odd Fodder in Perrysburg. read more

We loved our visit to this cute milkshake spot. The shakes and cocoa were fantastic and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Didn't even make it inside. Over an hour wait without the line even moving. Not worth it for mediocre milkshakes.

I've been waiting to try this place and finally got the chance tonight! It took us a second to find meter parking and walk there. We arrived around 910 (they close at 10) on a Thursday and waited in line for about 5 minutes . Which was fine because the menu has a lot of yummy sounding things and we had difficulty deciding. The aesthetic of the place is unique and fitting. We decided on the cotton candy milkshake and the Oreo supreme (cookies and cream) and we upgraded to the "eight it up". It regularly costs $10.88 and the eight it up upgrade was $3. When we went to find our seats we sat in the only available seats that weren't closed. They were these super comfy chairs facing high street. Unfortunately the dining area is small and with COVID restrictions half of there seating is blocked. Hopefully, they add some tables outside soon. It took a while for them to make the shakes. I had expected that from the reviews and made sure we weren't in a rush. Plus a good amount of work goes into these shakes so it's understandable. The cotton candy shake was delicious! It had cotton candy they made to order and it was the best cotton candy I've had. It also had sour candy on a skewer it was very good and not stale. The rim had icing with fruity pebbles stuck to it. Then there was whip cream with sprinkles and colorful candies on it. It was a pretty blue and didn't taste like the syrupy fake cotton candy flavors you get from other places. The Oreo supreme had a big Oreo wafer and two Oreo cookies in the whip cream. The rim had icing with Oreo crumbs and sprinkles. The icing rim on the Oreo shake was a lot thicker, so I couldn't eat all of it. After scraping a couple spoonfuls off I could feel a sugar headache coming on and had to stop. The shake itself tasted amazing . I love having quality shakes that don't taste like syrup! The size was a good amount (16 oz). When we were getting ready to leave they asked us how we liked it and thanked us for coming in. All the employees were very friendly. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. Overall, we really enjoyed this place and the experience that came along with it. This is not something I'd do regularly seeing as how it's expensive, but we want to come back and try other things. Also, the location being just south of OSU I have difficulty imagining very many broke college kids being able afford this and keeping the business open in the long run. read more

I waited thirty minutes and paid $8 (closer to $10 after tip) for a mediocre shake. I got the 16 oz Nutella shake. It was honestly not as good as a UDF or Steak 'N Shake shake. It was kind of thin. I prefer a shake that fights you when you try to suck it up through the straw. There just wasn't anything special about this shake. Yes, I could have paid another $3 to get one of the signature shakes, but if you're charging $8 and up for shakes, they better all be amazing. Someone else ordered the cotton candy shake, and it is BE-YOO-TIFUL, so if you're just looking for something to put on the 'gram, you won't be disappointed, but if you're looking for a tasty milkshake, UDF down the street will hook you up for a fraction of the cost and wait. read more

This is a locally owned establishment so it made our first experience that much more enjoyable! The one of a kind unique presentation of the milkshake and complimentary additions made this a hit for the kids and us parents as well. We have a big family so we tried a few different items. They all met and exceeded our expectations! The owner of the company was working that night and made sure we was very happy campers. We will definitely be going back!!! read more

My sister and I came by because I saw it on tiktok, but it was not worth the $30 for two shakes that were "eight it up" I got the Oreo which wasn't bad. My sister got the cotton candy and the cotton candy was gross and the milkshake tasted like straight milk. We could've easily made these at home for like $10. I don't think we'll be coming back unless they lower the prices. read more

No vegan options at this place. It's very easy to purchase almond or oat milk but this place refuses to accommodate non-dairy customers. This is pretty sad for 2021 where most people are ditching dairy. No thanks. read more

Love this place but just don't go when they're 15min about to close LOL they'll give you attitude. Daren was really nice and he gave amazing costumer service but there was a girl there that gave me really bad attitude. And I get it it was about to close BUT I asked her if they were still serving and if it was ok to order and she said YES. If she would've said no I would've been ok and left no problem but why would you say yes and then give terrible costumer service, attitude and a half full drink. Smh. Anyway the milkshakes here are super, totally worth it. read more

Shake No Eight - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Came in with high expectations, but Shake No. 8 did not deliver. Staff was unwilling to modify any of the crepes on the menu, then left out multiple ingredients on accident anyways. Customer service was average. Weirdly priced menu items. Shakes are $12 and crepes are almost $9, where coffee or hot chocolate is only $3-4???? I just felt like I was paying for the hype/"foodie" scene but the food itself was meh. Most employees also did not have gloves on while prepping food. The crepes were good but mediocre. Sad to leave such a poor review, but felt the need to make others aware. read more
