What is the Shake Shack Chocolate Spice Shake?
Chocolate Spice is one of three holiday shake flavors at Shake Shack this season. Its website describes it as “holiday-spiced chocolate frozen custard blended with crumbled chocolate cookies, topped with whipped cream and cinnamon.”
How is it?
As I sipped my shake, I thought, “This is a sophisticated chocolate shake!”
In my first sip, I did get a bit of cinnamon. But overall, this shake tasted like dark chocolate. It’s certainly unlike any other chocolate shake I’ve had.
Honestly, I didn’t realize that the cookie pieces were cookies. I just thought they were a special kind of chocolate that quickly dissolved in my mouth, like chocolate candies that don’t get hard when they’re cold. They didn’t clog my straw (thanks for the compostable straw, Shake Shack!), and they were a wonderful addition to the shake.
The only element that was lacking was the cinnamon. I detected it at first, but then it just blended in with the “sophistication” of the shake. After I finished, I could taste it lingering in my mouth, but the chocolate overpowered it.
I live for seasonal things. This shake was amazing, but it just didn’t seem very seasonal to me.
Anything else you need to know?
This was my first time ever going to Shake Shack, and if there was one closer to my house, I would totally go more often. But my wallet and my body are thankful that I don’t have one nearby.
Conclusion:
Shake Shack’s Chocolate Spice Shake is a classy take on a classic shake. Just don’t expect a ton of spice.

A little confused by your rating. From what you said, it doesn’t seem like an 8! Maybe you’re just rating on the quality of a chocolate shake, and not the specialty item itself.
The cookie pieces are amazing, so the shake itself deserves at least a 9, but I had to dock points for the lack of spice. Thanks for reading!
