Blitz Milkshakes is the latest store to open its doors in a space where ( for some unknown reason) businesses generally never do well- even though it is in close proximity to large stores such as Tesco. Although Blitz seemed to have promise, given the concept of being able to create over 230 milkshake flavours- I have a sad feeling that it may suffer the same fate.
I visited the shop recently and was blown away by the wealth of flavours on offer- with everything from biscuits such as oreos to sweets such as parma violets. On closer inspection however, I noticed that a lot of the flavours are quite bizarre and was left wondering who would pay £2.80 for a tic-tac flavoured milkshake. Despite this, I chose to order a Kinder Bueno/Daim bar milkshake, in the hope that it would satisfy my chocolate cravings for the next few weeks. Feeling excited at the promise of an ice-cream milkshake, I was bitterly disappointed to find that it was essentially milk (and not very cold milk at that) with some flakes of chocolate that tasted vaguely of daim bar. Although I like to think of myself as an adventurous foodie, I am sad to report that most of my milkshake ended up in the bin.
To their credit, Blitz Milkshakes does make an effort, as they often hold themed days- serving themed milkshakes. The decor within the shop is also quite nice, with large leather seats and a high level of cleanliness.
Whilst the thrill of creating your own concoctions may appeal to some, it isn't my cup of shake. read more
