Cereal Shakes
If you absolutely love breakfast cereal, the Cereal Shakes are definitely calling your name. To kickstart your creation, just select your favorite ice cream and shake size.

After that, they’ll just blend your selections together with milk to create your picture-perfect milkshake.
If you want to temper all the sugary goodness a bit, treat yourself to a freshly-brewed coffee or tea. You can get this quick pick-me-up hot or cold and in small, medium, and large sizes. If you like a little milk or cream in your drink, just let them know and they’ll whip it up just how you like it.

-As the day goes on, more and more people end up in line. So, arrive early if you want to skip the wait and get straight to enjoying your yummy dessert.
