The chocolate PB & banana shake was good in flavor, but lacking in show. For the price, expectations were much higher, plus, Bayliner Diner offers shakes for a much lower price.

Excellent shakes, the gluten-free options are well marked and Allergies are handed perfectly. I love the decor, 50s-60s diner style shake shop is spot on. I ordered a "adult" peanut butter shake, and was not disappointed. I think the pour was a bit light, however it was enough to give it great flavor. I highly recommend it for after a long day of running around Universal.

Shakes is Great!! We stayed in the hotel, so we were able to get some frozen goodies after dinner/parks each night. The selections are plentiful and the cool retro theme goes along with the vibe of the hotel which is 50s/60s nostalgia. The shoppe uses Hershey brand ice cream so all of the scoops, sundaes and shakes are rich and creamy. The service was excellent and the long line moved along quickly. I would highly recommend stopping in for a scoop if your're nearby.

We are here around 8:00 pm and they could be a little bit cleaner but the shake was very good! Worth a look if you are staying at Cabana Bay Resort

A nice ice cream and shake place overall, with no line in the middle of the day when we went. The offerings were nice, and the flavors were good. The seating area is cute with a TV showing some old shows.

I thought that an Ube Malt would be wack, but it’s actually delicious! Would highly recommend! Taking off a single star because this guy was over $11… yea… even for a theme park price that’s quite audacious.

We stayed at Cabana Bay for the weekend and were excited to try Shake’s adult milkshakes. We were not disappointed. On our first night, we ordered the Chocolate Peanut Butter adult milkshake, and it was amazing. It came with a whole Reese’s cup, which was a delightful addition to this delicious milkshake. I didn’t taste the alcohol in it, which I prefer. On our second night, we tried the Banana Fosters adult milkshake. Personally, I didn’t find it great due to its strong taste, but my husband enjoyed it. I regret not trying the Black and White Irish Bailey’s, but I plan to do so on our next stay at the resort. Remember to save your souvenir cup and wash it out so you can bring it back and get $3 off your next shake. I highly recommend Shake’s and will definitely return to try all the flavors of the adult milkshakes.

Got a delicious brownie sundae and a salted caramel brownie shake! I would have loved homemade whipped cream rather than spray cream, but it was still good. The shop was clean and the staff was great! Stop on by to try some samples.
