Shakes!

Shakes is the new milkshake bar which opened up on Dame street about two weeks ago. Words cannot begin to describe how excited I was for it to open- Milkshakes are one of my favorite treats. It's very hard to find a good milkshake in Dublin. The ones from Macdonalds are pretty attrocious to be honest and other restaurants are pretty expensive when it comes to milkshakes.

Sizzy and I went to get shakes the day after it opened, and the shop was pretty busy. After ordering we were exceptionally pleased that they offer a 10% student discount- Always a welcome addition!

I've had two so far since it opened. The first time I got a Cadbury's mint crisp shake with whipped creme and mini oreos on top. The whipped creme was a nice touch, but I paid 50cent extra for the mini oreos of which I think I got four biscuits, which was a bit of a rip off. Apart from that the shake was gorgeous. The second time there I got a Dime bar shake with whipped creme again. It tasted brilliant, but a bit less blending would have been nice, leaving me with a few crunchie bits, I will probably specify that to the next person making one for me. Overall it was lovely though, and not too expensive.

The only diwnside I thought was the service. The shake took a good while to make and I was standing there for a good five minutes before anyone decided to take any money off me. I presume this will get better though as the staff get accustomed to their job.

On the way in we ran into a few SU Hacks (SU whores as I like to call them) who claim it's going to be their new hang-out spot. I contest this, let's make it a science thing, right?!
