Shore Shakes

Not your top notch smoothie bar. I was skeptical when I walked in as this place was mainly a gym. Things got worse when I asked what kind of yogurt they used in their smoothies and they replied «it’s just a powder.» After I chose my smoothie, they started it off with a syrupy mix, which looked sugary and gross. The only «fresh» thing they put in was blueberries, which looked like they had been sitting in the tub for days. They put a vanilla protein powder in, whatever, and then they blended it all together with some ice. The «smoothie» was a sugary, syrupy mess. On the brighter side, my friend got a strawberry smoothie which they put in some «fresh» strawberries and he added peanut butter which made it less sweet and Taste better. We probably still won’t go back.

I visited this place a few weeks ago. It’s on the right corner of the plaza located inside East Pointe Health and Fitness. Shore Shakes is really small, literally just a counter with 3 or 4 stools. But of all the times I passed by there, I’ve never seen a line at the shake counter. Which leads me to say this place is a hidden gem and a half! The two dudes that were there at the time seemed super cool and very friendly. I’m not really that much of a social person, but I talked with the guy who made my smoothie for a few minutes after my smoothie was done. Definitely a nice, enegetic atmosphere, good music, and great staff.
As for my smoothie. It was a s fresh as can be. They make it right infront of you, so you can see all that goes into it. No presevatives/​pre-​made mixes or anything like that. I’d also like to add that most smootie places that I go to in the city charge you about $ 6 for a 16 ounce smoothie, so I was very satisfied that to see Shore Shakes giving 24 ouncers for the same price. And best of all, the few drinks they offer that have protien powder in them, they give you healthy doces. Something like 23 to 35 grams depending on what smoothie you get. And there’s a great selection to chose from.
