Shishkaberry’s

No real review here: Shishkaberry’s offers fresh chocolate dipped fruit with the option of adding nuts if you’re walking around the Space Needle area and want a quick bite to eat.

Just curious, is the company aware of the meaning of both ‘shishkaberry’ and ‘dingleberry’? Urban Dictionary can be extremely helpful in these situations…

We were looking forward to these all week and the guy that helped us was so nice! He even threw in free sprinkles! :)

There was a pop up «Shishkaberries» at folklife. The product is great on its own. Simple fruit dipped in chocolate, you can’t go wrong.
The 2 stars is for the horrid staff at this location. The girl was so rude it was shocking, I had a question about the type of chocolate on one verses another and she rolled her eyes at me and practically ignored me. Then when we ordered she told me that for card we need to go to the other line (this was posted no where and we are not the only people in line that had this issue).
Needless to say, get better staff! The product is too good to have bad staff serving it.

There is just something so cute about five chocolate strawberries in a column on a stick!
Shishkaberry came to the University District street fair this year. There were two stands so people didn’t have to hunt down the one stand and wait in line. The display of their «fake» chocolate strawberries seems to draw people in. They have white, milk and dark chocolate, as well as toppings like chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, and nuts. They also have bananas and pineapples.
The Siberian tiger consists of strawberries dipped in white chocolate and then drizzled with milk chocolate (like tiger stripes). I asked for a reverse Siberian tiger since I wanted it dipped in milk and drizzled with white. They were able to do my custom request and I was given my treat in no time. Some of the strawberries are huge and super plump! Most of mine were ripe and sweet, with maybe one being slightly sour. The chocolate helps bring in more sweetness though. Overall, it’s your average chocolate covered strawberry. I don’t think they use very high quality chocolate cause it wasn’t like biting into an amazing bark of chocolate. I do like how they drizzled quite a bit of white chocolate on top though.
Price wise, you can probably make your own chocolate covered strawberries for cheaper. I was just too eager to have some right then and there. It’s about $ 6 – 7 per «kabob» depending on the toppings. Strawberries were good, chocolate could be better, so in all, just average.

Located at the 4 Corners of Seattle Center, this little place is in a great spot to get foot traffic. And who doesn’t love fruit on a stick? There are many options for selecting selection of toppings for your dipped strawberries or bananas. Even a selection titled ‘DingleBerry (basic chocolate dipped strawberries). It’s a super cute idea and the ladies are wonderfully friendly. Their chocolate is not dairy free, so it limits anyone with that sensitivity (my kiddo). But they do offer ‘Naked’ and the strawberries on our stick were ginormous and super sweet.

Very fast and fresh. Tried the one at Seattle center and got my fairy berry in about 2 minutes. Yummy!

The worst stand ever is the one at XFinity (aka Comcast) Arena in Everett. Staff is very rude and lazy. Waited for 20 minutes for one and they wouldn’t do something thats not already premade. I came another day when there was no one in line and the same thing. The girl was simply very rude and said that as she alreadry told me before she wont do it… how lazy. Its an item on the menu and they simply won’t do it. I love the berries, but will never ever buy again, as the service is simply horrible. even 1 star is too much, but unfortunately I couldnt choose less than that.

I have to admit: It took me a while to try their sweet sweet berries on a stick. Why? I’ve had chocolate-​covered fruit that’s been sitting around before and I thought that’s what I would get here.
I was VERY happy the day I learned that I wouldn’t find any of that at the Shishkaberry booth! Or, well, at least not any of the ones I’ve been to so far (Folklife and on the UW campus during an event).
Sure it’s about $ 5 for a stick of chocolate-​dipped berries (or fruit), but it’s Oh So Good and I can’t get enough. I usually try to stay away, but when I buy… I almost go back and get seconds.
Keep on being delicious, my Shishkaberry friends!
