“This is artisanal ice cream. If you are looking for basic flavors go elsewhere. The ingredients are high quality, most of the flavors are a little unique and you are going to pay for that.

It is expensive for ice cream, yet it’s not overpriced. You are getting the quality you pay for.

I love the coconut and all the tea flavors.“

“The frozen custard in this shop is so delicious, with a rich milky aroma and a dense, smooth, and delicate texture. The fruit-flavored frozen custard is made with fresh fruits, and the Turtle (with salted pecans and caramel) is also a must-try custard. Don’t forget to ask the store if they have a limited supply of bubble waffle, a hidden gem. It’s crispy on the outside, soft and fragrant on the inside, moderately sweet, and very delicious.“

“Oh my sweet lord. I absolutely hate cupcakes- I’ve tried every bakery practically in Hoco and from here to the sun for good cupcakes that aren’t dry or that the frosting isn’t hard and flavorful. Smallcakes.Columbia hands down the best cupcakes I’ve ever had in my entire life. These cupcakes taste like Nana just baked them and frosted them before every bite. You guys did a fantastic job!“

“I love the convenience of ordering online. Food was ready when I arrived with my family to dine in. With a family of young children, having the food waiting for us when we arrive makes the experience of eating out more enjoyable. The kids aren’t complaining about being hungry or asking when the food will be ready. I try to use this parent hack whenever we decide to dine out.

As for the food, it’s upscale fast casual. Shake Shack is consistent and never seems to disappoint. My kids especially love the crinkle cut fries and milkshakes. My spouse and I enjoy the Chicken Shack sandwiches when we want to change up our entree preferences. Overall, I think Shake Shack is an excellent restaurant for a quick and delicious meal.“
