Are you a fan of milkshakes, crêpes, waffles and everything sweet? Then maybe we have found the right place for you; Shakes’n’ Cakes! Those who live close to or around the University of Aberdeen, or spend their afternoons at Grub, might have seen a violet building on the Spital; that’s them.
I discovered the place about two weeks ago but sadly never had the time to try out their different desserts. But being on holiday, I wanted to have a little treat for myself. I ordered a milkshake ‘Strawberry Surprise (Fruit)’ and a ‘Strawberry & Chocolate Indulgence Waffle’.
The milkshake is refreshing, made of fresh strawberries. The waffle was good as well, not as sweet as I was expecting!
Personally, I try and avoid eating cakes and everything else sweet, but sometimes I can’t resist chocolate. After all, I deserved these delicacies… I worked very hard this semester and hadn’t drunk a milkshake or savoured a waffle in a long time.
I recommend going after six o’clock as at other times it can be very busy, especially in the afternoon or during lunch. Many students and families come to Shakes ‘n’ Cakes either to sit down like I did, or have a take-out.
They are open every day from 11 am to 11 pm and it’s on 149 Spital.
