Oh.....My.....GOD!
This is heaven! I've found a place where I would visit daily if I could!! Although I'm trying to lose weight so finding this little gem wont do wonders on my waist line :S
Anyway, this place is at the top of the high street heading towards the subway (to get to college), it's on Westgate - I THINK a place called Destiny used to be there.
Shakesville only opened in July 2011 and I only just found it last week. I've been in 3 times since.
Shakesville is basically a milkshake place with a twist! They have LOADS of different chocolate bars to choose from and they are open to suggestions too.
You choose the chocolate you want, and then they whizz it around with a tiny bit of milk and a load of whippy icecream and there you go :)
It's lovely and thick but not too thick that you can't drink it. It's not watery either.
It's £2.99 (roughly) for a large and about £2.49 (I think) for a regular. You can also ADD an extra chocolate for just 60p, so you can mix with a different one or add the same one for a stronger flavour.
So far my husband and I have had the Munchies (YUM), Daim Bar (Extra Yum), Double Decker (Wowie!) and the ultimate favourite of mine - Ferrero Rocher (....faint.....).
We got my son one yesterday (nearly 5yrs old) and he had the regular and he was unable to finish it. He had the cadburys dairy caramel one and he loved it!
Probably going to go and try another one later on today after college :D My husband and I are on a mission to try every single one!
They also do fruit ones too and they have flavoured icecream there - although I'm not sure if they mix that to make shakes or if it's for cones only....haven't asked :S
Off to dream about shakesville ;) read more
