This is a north Austin gem that is not talked about often, but we only went because one of our friends grew up going to it. I thoroughly enjoyed the custard. Their standard (no frills) options were the best. You can also get them by the pint which is great as well. There is only outdoor seating, but the seating area is cute with string lights and picnic tables. They definitely are trying to accommodate. We didn't do the drive through, but I imagine at the speed we got ours that the drive through would be pretty fast as well. Inside a shopping complex so ample parking all around. It is close by a couple of schools so I imagine the school rush would be pretty busy. read more

First time experience here and it won't be my last, great customer service in drive thru. My shake (not pictured) was delicious I ordered a vanilla shake with peanut butter pieces and it was delicious. Nice place to stop by on a hot summer day which like every other Texas day is. They also serve more than just desserts they have burgers kolaches and much more read more

Guy is the back and won't come out to serve customers. He's back there with headphones. I can see you. Why can't you see me. DQ here we come. read more

Food is great, but they definitively overcharge people. Saw it in a review and assumed it was a mistake. They've now overcharged me twice ranging from $3-5 over what I ordered. They also don't provide receipts conveniently. Won't be going back, there's Andy's and Freddy's for custard. read more

I went here because I had such a good time at a SHake's in Arkansas and I wanted to re-create that experience. I didn't realize they were kinda a chain. However the menus are a little different. This place gives off the vibe of a struggling family business but that is a bummer because the product is still really good. Happy to support them! read more

Everything about this place was a complete nightmare. We waited for 5-10 minutes at the order kiosk without anyone coming to the window, despite no other customers around. Immediately after taking the order and serving they went back to their back offices. The sundae was absurdly overpriced, with a tiny trickle of fudge sauce only on top. Also the custard came already melted. It was as if the guy had never made a sundae before. Super strange interaction to order and very hard to read menu. Could only eat 1/3 the sundae because it was soup. And I am not generally a hard critic at all. read more

I love the ice cream here but can't understand why they charge more tax than the 8.25% rate when you order before any tip. Second time this happened. The charge for a small sundae is $6.38. They charge 7.10 with tax. The 8.25% tax rate would make it 6.91. The 19 cents is no big deal but still can't understand why they can't charge the proper tax rate or raise the menu price to equal the price charged. After awhile it adds up. read more

Super duper yummy! Quick service. On par with the vibe of a traditional 50s ice cream diner.

Shakes and slurries are sooo good. Service is sort of a one man show but they're nice and they get it done. Went in the middle of the week in the afternoon which I don't recommend as a lot of the nearby school kids loiter there. Unless you're a school kid and then probably you'd have fun. read more

Just got shakes with my family, 10/10 as always. My best friend tried it out a few weeks ago and loved it too! I'm glad to get to share such a great place with my friends over all these years! read more

Really nice place to grab some to-go ice cream. I wish the prices were the same from 2022 though...inflation is real! read more

Shake's Frozen Custard - Heath Bar Caramel Fudge Brownie Cherries Vanilla Custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Shakes is the place to go for ice cream in Cedar Park. The quality is very good and they have so many flavors. Two thumbs up!

We don't usually get an ice cream treat regularly; however, we have been pleased with the portions and service every time we have visited Shake's. read more

It's pretty good custard and let's be honest it's what you'd expect. Staff is normally pretty friendly and it's generally quick. They have a broad assortment: shakes, malts, cakes, sundaes, concretes, floats, freezes, cookies etc. We have had them all and they are really good. So why the 3 stars? The surrounding area is always dirty and sticky. A hundred yards or so from their location is a park like area off Cypress Creek with a few benches and 2 huge Live Oak trees. That area is always heavily littered with white styrofoam cups and pizza boxes. I would say the majority of the litter is from Shakes. While that parklike area is not their property and I don't think it's part of Milburn park, I would think they and Dominos could do a better job ensuring that area is free of litter. read more

Excellent friendly service, even when they are busy. Top quality shakes & concretes. But the great service is what keeps us coming back for more. read more

Highly recommend this place - the desserts are so yummy and big. Try heavenly angel (you'll thank me later) if you love caramel, it's so good! It also looks somewhat insta-worthy, with the vintage sign and a splash of pink color. read more

I'm not supposed to have sweets but it was super hot and my Air Conditioning was broken. I need some coldness to chill me down. There were two young boys in front of me. My request was a small cup of chocolate with hot fudge. Hey! Don't judge me. I paid for it then waited for the cup to be given to me. I notice the boys went to the second window to get their slushies. Mine is ready and the girl brought it to the second window too!?! Okay, she is the only employee and I the only customer but she followed the rules. Order in window A and Pick up in window B. I bring my treasure to my car. I couldn't resist and took a spoonful. Oh My goodness, this is so good. It was only 5 minutes until I got home but I couldn't stop thinking about the next mouthful. It was chocolatey deliciousness. Savoring each chilly bite and so disappointed when the cup was empty. Can't wait for my AC to break again so I can get more. read more

I wanted this place to be good but it wasn't and not exactly sure why. Ordering was easy and the the Sunday that I got was delivered quickly. It just seemed a bit lacking and bland. I have only been there once but would like to try it again to see if it gets better. It has promise and the idea is great. read more

Great service and amazing custard. Also whoever has been being rude to employees need to stop. This is an amazing establishment for our community and have fought hard through Covid to stay open. read more

Shake's Frozen Custard - Reid loves this place - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Iv had this place around 4 times and every time I go it's always good never a bad experience. The best ice cream in the area.

I used to be a regular, but now it is increasingly difficult to even order at shakes because the consistency is never right. The custard always melts within one minute of receiving a concrete, which is the epitome of unacceptable. Meanwhile, Andy's produces a consistent and thick texture that is reliable and satisfactory every time. I am supremely disappointed in the new management and their mismanagement of quality, the key attribute of what made Shakes great. read more

My wife and I tried this place for the first time tonight(6/17), I love frozen custard and was excited to support local. If i was leaving this review for just my concrete I would have given it 4/5 stars, i ordered a strawberry unfortunately my wife's concrete wasn't right. I ordered a strawberry cheesecake concrete and my wife ordered a mint oreo concrete. Her concrete was missing the mint. Unfortunately when the girl handed it to me in the drive thru, it had the napkin around it and placed it in cup holder, I didn't notice the lack of green until I got home. read more

Not really a sweet tooth but I tried their oreo shake and it's definitely one of my favorites now!

They changed the type of custard they use and it's not as good as the old one. The employee was nice though.

It's a Cedar Park tradition to eat baby cake custard treats at Shake's under the hundred + year old oak trees. The double chocolate and confetti are my family's favorites. The custard is excellent by itself, but I prefer the added cake because it's unique! They also offer shaved ice and Milk Shakes of course. read more

Shake's Frozen Custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

I live in the neighborhood, and decided to try this place. It was cold but decided to go for a walk and at the moment we arrived there, we were just waiting outside the window order. And no one even bother to take our order. They just looked at us (three people working inside) and that's it. No service, no nothing. Terrible business. read more

I have never had a bad experience with Shakes. They're always really friendly and offer some of the best ice cream around. My favorite concoction I always try to get is the Fudge brownie concrete with chocolate ice cream and extra fudge. It's a sugar rush for sure but holy cow is it good! Please be aware that this is Frozen Custard and not traditional ice cream and some people may not like that. Just giving yall a heads up. read more

I really have mostly criticisms. Maybe if I hadn't been to Andy's Frozen Custard that wouldn't be so. Check it out for yourself, but these are my notes. No brownie, cookie, or strawberry shortcake sundaes. The hot fudge is okay, but the caramel sauce is more like butterscotch. Vanilla flavor is extremely eggy--yes, I understand that is how custard is, but this is potent. I suggest getting the chocolate. Shakes are made with partially melted custard, as opposed to blended, this may be how it is done with custard, but I don't care for the warm shakes I have been served there. I do like the cookie dough--a lot. Although it is not my favorite, Shakes is a great neighborhood throw-back custard stand. I wish there more more old-school places like this. But I recommend taking your business to Andy's Frozen Custard, if this is a calorie splurge, and not merely a super quick trip to the closest place. read more

Best frozen Custard. Better than the chain (Andys). Haven't tried all the flavors, but everything I've tried has been delicious. You have to try it to believe how good it is. read more

Got the pink poodle! Amazing! Love the combo of strawberries and pineapple topped with bananas.

You can't beat the Bopper! Hot fudge, Caramel and walnuts! I can't seem to stray from this one. Yummy! And my puppy gets the Puppy Cup. Always a favorite with her! read more

I have loved Shakes for years but lately their staff has been on the lazy side. The last 2 visits my sons chocolate milkshake is soupy. Closer to plain chocolate milk. Today I ordered a strawberry, banana, coconut, pecan concrete and it was basically vanilla ice cream with the random speck of toppings. In addition. We arrived one night at 9:56pm. Closing time is 10pm. I know we were cutting it close. There were only 2 of us. The kids working said their registers were already shut off. Love Shakes, I just hope the quality of service and product returns. Especially since it's not cheap! read more

Shake's Frozen Custard - My concrete with 4 toppings - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

I'd never had frozen custard before last night. Omg-mind blown. Ok ok -I get I don't have anything custard wise to compare it to, but this place just set the bar pretty damn high. I opted for a flavor profile I knew I already loved and this concrete delivered. Super rich and creamy and just the right amount of key lime flavored goodness to it. My husband got an Oreo malt, which was super tasty. They def didn't skimp on the Oreos in it either. Price was great as well. I can see us being repeat customers here for sure! read more

Everytime I come up to Austin I stop by here to grab some sweet desserts. Absolutely love this place, and their signature pink poodle. Staff are usually pretty fast with the orders, because I usually come with a huge family (15+ people). Definitely recommend this place for some desserts with the family. read more

Ridiculous, it's been literally 25 minutes in the drive thru waiting, we get to the front window and are informed they no longer sell pints but can sell a quarter pint but need 20 minutes...wtf? Was excited for custard and I am so done. To the owner, recapture your business from your high schoolers. Went to Andy's Custard and got our order in minutes and it was awesome!! Had high hopes for Shake's but yea, definitely a no go. read more

It's pretty high calorie and must be high fat, but worth it once in a while. They have some pretty imaginative combinations and they're all really good. Try this place on a hot day- I promise you'll be glad you did! read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE Their ice cream is great! Or at least was. I can't go here and continue to support poor customer service. I haven't been many places that put a damper on your mood just from a drive through, and this place does that. Every time I've been except once, the employees working have been sassy and inattentive. One time even opening the window and just staring- not saying "what can I get you?" (Even before covid times) but this time I figured I'd write a review, in hopes of the manager or owner training their staff better. I asked for something on top of my concrete, and this girl at the window turned to another girl next to her and said "she wants it on top" to which the other red head girl rolls her eyes and says "Not mixed in?" I don't know why that was such a struggle. Immediately after my concrete was handed to me, the girl walks two feet away from the window and starts texting. They don't wear gloves, and I highly doubt they wash their hands every time after touching their phones. Plus the concrete was already melting by the time it was in my hands. read more
