Shake n Crave has many desserts which look amazing, but we were only able to try two. We got the strawberry cup, which is a cup of strawberries covered with Nutella from the Nutella fountain 😍 and the pistachio crepe, which is a fresh crepe covered with Nutella and folded up, then covered with more Nutella and pistachio butter, then sprinkled with crushed pistachios. Both were delicious! We look forward to trying other desserts in the future!
This place was amazing. There are times that you eat out and think “oh this is good for a place to eat out” however THIS PLACE feels like it came straight from home. from the heart! 🤍
We ended up here on a whim and I'm so glad we did, it was delicious! Sadly they were out of Turkish coffee by the time we went, so I didn't get to try it, but we'll be back to try it another time. I got an Americano and a biscoff waffle. The waffle was AMAZING but also extremely decadent, so I think I'd share one next time. My husband got a peanut butter waffle and added Nutella, he also enjoyed his
Shake N Crave is such a satisfying secret gem in Lexington! Every time I walk in, I immediately feel at home, surrounded by new and energizing vibes. The colorful, contemporary interior and the mouthwatering scent of protein-packed shakes being blended just make it an attractive place to be. Their menu has numerous delights and flavorful choices! Whether I’m in the mindset for something sweet like a cookies-and-cream shake or something fruity and refreshing, there’s always a flavor that hits the spot. I love swinging by after classes or hitting the gym to grab a drink and squeeze in some studying. The seating space is super comfortable and surprisingly quiet, making it an excellent place to de-stress or concentrate on work. Plus, the staff are always pleasant and willing to share great suggestions, which really adds to the social, community sense of the area. Shake N Crave is an excellent combination of great flavor and an effective atmosphere—certainly my go-to spot for both students and fitness lovers!
Wide variety of delicious crepes, each served in generous portions and bursting with flavor. The cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff make it a delightful spot to enjoy a satisfying and memorable sweet treat.
