What to Order
Apple Pie Milkshake
A unique milkshake that perfectly blends the sweetness of apple pie with subtle cinnamon, featuring actual chunks of apple and pie crust for texture.
"the apple pie milk shake is quite unique and a really nice treat . it’s sweet but the flavour isn’t too strong, with a good apple taste and very subtle cinnamon-iness that didn’t overpower it at all. the best part was that you could taste the remnants of the apple pie — chunks and slices of tart, softened apple, and thick, lumpy crumbles of the pie crust."
