Cakes And Shakes Bistro in Barrow-in-Furness

My cousin told me about this place. He is here working from Houston and eats there frequently. I got the Highlander and it was amazingly delicious. I went back a couple days later and got the turkey sliders and the banana pudding pound cake and all I could say is wow. Every tastebuds in my mouth was stimulated the sliders were awesome and filling. The cake was moist fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside just like I live my pound cakes. These cakes reminded me of home in Alabama at Christmas when my grandmother baked them! I highly recommend this place! It has limited seating if you want to eat there and you can park on the side street servhce www great and quick! Thank me later!

Excellent customer service and delicious cakes. I absolutely LOVE the shakes, especially the strawberry.

Best brownies I've ever tasted!

I’ve only tried one item on the menu, the chocolate cake,, and it was delicious.

This place started off good now the service has went down also the quality of the sandwich some days they missing key ingredients to go on the sandwich I try to support small businesses sometimes they make it hard

Best cake I’ve had in a long time!

I came in today for some rum cake. It was just coming out of the oven so I came back a little later. It was still warm and so good. I also got a piece of German chocolate cake. Both pieces of cake were very moist. The staff is so nice and helpful.

Beautiful Delicious Sandwiches..Deserts Too

The owner was working the day I visited. She was kind, patiently waiting on customers, assuring the customer got what they wanted, she was generous in the restaurant offering. The visit was extraordinary, the cakes are delicious there are many varieties available. Visit and delight yourself in pure deliciousness and great hospitality.

Only thing I would like is to have icing on the brownies.

Strawberry milkshake with chunks of LEMON POUNDCAKE🤤🥹💗best milkshake ever

Wonderful cake shakes the are 🔥

Cornbeef sandwich was delicious 😋💯

Awkward welcoming and no personality from the workers what so ever… the cakes are dry and flavorless, buttercream is like hard lard and the cheesecake and banana pudding are whipped and not good at all… no thanks.

Excellent service love the red velvet pound cake

Pound cake is a hard sell for me but their pound cake is simply scrumptious!! Based off the pound cake alone, i am returning to try all the cakes

The Highland Parker was delicious and ginger berry smooth was excellent.

One of my favorite stops. This one's a gem! Whether you're getting a piece of Lemon Dream cake or one of their delicious sandwiches (The Fire Station is my favorite) you'll be back.

Dope spot. First time experience was great. @jeanpoh509

Yummy! Fun place to bring a date or a night with the kids. Great shakes and friendly service!!

Sandwich was so good I forgot to take a picture

Never ever in my life will I go back there she ain’t know what she was doing for one two she didn’t let us know she didn’t have all the ingredients until she got done making the milkshake she didn’t use any gloves and she acted confused when we gave her our orders

Beautiful and tasty cakes....always!

The Rec jr. OR the 8 dollar one. Is still salivating thinking about it Whew. Lovely Experience.

Best Sandwiches in Highland Park

I was not going to post, as I initially was not too annoyed, but after speaking with a friend I am going to... I usually come in once a week to order, and it's usually a wait around 10 to 15 minutes, even if I call in to order ahead. Normally, I do not mind waiting, but today was it was a bit different. I placed my order around 11:45 a.m., I was told it would be about 20 minutes, so I got there in around 35 miutes, just to give them extra time. It was explained that there was a big order in front of me; that's okay. But my order was still not ready. I waited another 5 minutes for the sandwich, but was told that my fries would not be ready for another 10. So I said that would be OK and I left and came back around the 10 minute mark. A total time of just about an hour. The cashier was super apologetic and offered me two cookies for the wait, which I appreciated, as the store is always pretty busy. However, it would have been nice if maybe any management was there to simply apologize, as well. Because after all, we are spending our money AND time to support this business. I will say that I'm going to continue to support this business because the food is GREAT and it is a small business. But please, for those of us who are coming in on lunch breaks, give us more accurate timing. Today kinda saddened me a lot, as I would have gladly waited 40 minutes to come once; rather than coming the first time after giving you extra time to prepare the food and coming back for the second piece of my meal.

I took one bite and thought to myself, that I NEEDED to take the picture BEFORE I consumed the biscoff cheesecake in less than 40 seconds, lol. My first time coming, and will definitely be back at least once a week. Edit: Each time I come, it gets BETTER. Been coming at least once a week, as said...and I finally ordered a sandwich. The classic. It was the best sandwich I've had in a long time! This is my favourite new secret spot. You guys have a great niche for good food and delicious dessert.

Had an old time shake enjoyed the food

It was delicious, love the shakes and banana pudding. Service was great 👍👍👍👍

THE PLACE IS IMMACULATE🤗SERVICE IMPECCABLE AND THE FOOD WAS APPETIZING MOST OF ALL DELICIOUS!!! JUST VISIT THEM! AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I AM SAYING. I ALMOST FORGOT THOSE CHOCOLATE CHIP PECAN AND A HINT OF COCONUT COOKIES 😋 THANKSGIVING IS A WEEK AWAY MAKE SURE YOU STOP IN AND PLACE YOUR ORDER! CHOCOLATE CAKES, BANANA PUDDING, POUND CAKES AND SO MUCH MORE!!! PICK UP THE PHONE TOO AND PLACE YOUR ORDER. 🎂🥧🍪🍰

Very delicious cakes, cant wait to try more.

My daughter's father bought her Birthday cake from here this year. We were beyond pleased with the Strawberry Crunch cake. Absolutely mouth watering delicious!!!! Cakes & Shakes most definitely will be getting my business & I will always recommend them to my family & friends. Looking forward to ordering a Carrot cake for my Birthday in November.

No sweet potato pies. I drove from downtown to this business and that was a big turn down

I have been coming here since they opened up and they still have arguably the best shakes in the city. The ladies here are always professional and provide the best service. I drive from the deep east side hoping I can catch them before they close. I love the Strawberry shortcake shake and peach cobbler shake!

Cake was phenomenal! Looked and tasted amazing! Will definitely be ordering from here again.

Food was good, needs a better bread, The one that used gets soggy

A little slow but food is delicious!

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE ! OMG the food and desserts are so delicious!! A++++++

Great local Black owned business. Always consistent on food quality and service.

We had the best time and experience here on 6/18/2021.. The shop is cute and intimate, with a variety of different options for a sweet tooth fix, which included options for non-dairy enjoyment.. Have great staff, and we were also greeted by the owner as well. Very welcoming environment, felt like family while there.. We will definitely be back soon

Phenomenal customer service! Cute. Quaint. Nice selection. THEY HAVE A VEGAN ICE CREAM OPTION and its delicious! Delicious cakes (oooh that carrot cake tho)! Cheese cake was perfect (not too rich). Nice thick milkshakes too. Can't wait to return

Go and see them very nice selection of cakes

Love this place I went twice in one day.

The Caramel Cheesecake is tooo good.

Best brownies ever !!!!! The highland Parker is to die for I'm addicted

Sandwich is great. They make you feel at home in there

First time here we order a Highland Parker king size corn beef sandwich and it was delicious. Thank you Cakes & Shakes.

Love this place very good sandwiches. Employees are nice and great personalities. Beautiful ladies too... Keep up the good work. Thanks

My sister recommended this place so yummy!

So far I’ve only had their cake. The first time it was very delightful. The second time it seem as they changed their vendor or another cook made the cake because it wasn’t edible. And they seem to always have an attitude. Doubt I’ll be returning for a 3rd time.

Very clean, very friendly staff, great sandwiches and the fresh baked sweets are amazing.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS..DEFINITELY GIVING LOU'S DELI SOME REAL COMPETITION...ORDERING THE GIANT SLIDERS FOR CHRISTMAS..

Very good cake, but didn't have the ones I really wanted to try.

Great sandwiches and dessert. Just wish they were a little bit quicker but worth the wait

Awesome! Best carrot cake I ever had! A-1!! H.P.100years

I ordered the Highlander Sandwich which was really tasty. A lot of flavor going on. They awesome shakes too.

I love this place ! The best strawberry crunch cake & carrot cake ! Black owned business . Clean establishment and friendly staff 🖤

The Food and customer service is absolutely amazing

Love that it's WOMEN'S BLACK owned business. With some of the friendliest women with AMAZING personalities... There's entirely TOO much to choose from which makes you want to try it ALL. Congratulations ladies for putting yourselves out here during this pandemic. 🤗

Everything you taste will be good. Go here and eat, it's the tasty thing to do

The German Chocolate Cake is soooo great💞💞

Very clean with bright colors. Menu is simple to read and understand. The wait staff is very friendly and professional. And the sandwiches are delicious. Especially the highlandpark sandwich.

Best on the West,For everything baked or coked here from cakes to shakes and fresh handpack ice cream, I recommend everyone try it,

Great ideas, and something unique the Pocatello area needs. They're just starting out (opened today) and will hopefully get even better with experience.

Wonderful cakes and lady. Support your local businesses

This cake were delicious and the pudding was amazing I personally enjoyed the shakes

The best cakes & shake, also the best sandwiches.

The corn beef sandwich is pretty decent.

Fun friendly service ladies are amazing

Yummy cakes made with heart and love

I finally got a chance to stop by. Even at the end of the had a pretty good selection to choose from. I ordered a strawberry shake made with strawberry ice cream and a delightful snickers brownie that was to die for! I will be back!

Very friendly, best banana pudding, shake was very good thanks cakes n shakes!

I love yall. You all saved my sons bday party. And the cup cakes are delicious 😍

I absolutely love this place sandwiches and sweets always on point. The staff is a little slow with getting any order competed but the food is good.

One afternoon I had a want for something sweet. I found this place on accident. The staff was friendly and the cake I had was delicious. I wish them much success and will be back.

Amazing rum and carrot cake. The owner is a sweetheart.

Tesha provided a DELICIOUS Red Velvet Cake that will blow your wig back! Thank you!

The cake was amazinggggg imma go back today lol

Them shakes are so good. Best in the town.

My son has wanted to try this place since November. We pass it going to his Nana's. So today we came and ordered the strawberry milkshake, banana pudding and rum cake. My son has already asked to go back and he's not finished with his shake yet. The banana pudding is so light and refreshing, it's definitely homemade. The rum cake was for Nana but I'm sure it was just as amazing. This place so cute and the staff was friendly. Never expected to find such nice place in Highland park 🤷‍♀️.

The Owner bakes with love and memories will come, taste buds will want more. Can’t get it better anywhere else! This bakery will be something very special soon, it’s already great.

Finding just about everywhere shut and feeling very hungry. I popped into Cakes n Shakes and ordered the Curry.I asked if they did half n half...half chips and half rice to my surprise they did.Within minutes, my curry arrived.And oh my ...tasty is an understatement.Delicious. .plentiful..and had the best of both worlds...so to speak. Chips and Rice.Brian and his staff work very hard and their products..quality speak for themselves.Sam B.

Excellent staff who serve the food in record time better and cheaper than I could make it at home. Not a large establishment so every visitor gets personal service.

Just on the off chance. We called in for something to eat. The day had been an unusal one to begin with. We then decided to go to see Brian at Cake n Shakes Bistro. On arrival we were greeted with smiles from pleasant staff and Brian.Again..we were offered Orange Juice. Delicious and what a great start.I ordered the mid Breakfast and my wife ordered the Onion Gravy, Sausage and Mash and now with Mushy peas. And mug of tea each to finish off.Superb Breakfast. . Good quality products and served with care. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Onions n Gravy and Sausage n Mash and Peas. We both fully enjoyed our visit from the start with Fresh Orange Juice.. Meals..Mugs of tea.. Brilliant Service as always.Our day vastly improved from then on.Its apparent the Cafe is doing well with some specials sold out. Excellent news for Brian and his staff. Long may it last for them.Looking forward to our next visit soon.Sam B.

My wife and I decided to try out the newly refurbished Cafe on its debut opening day Wednesday 9th August.Firstly, didn’t disappoint. To see the transformation, you wouldn’t recognise what was once a tired looking cafe, the cafe looks clean, fresh and just the ticket and may i be so bold to say, looks the business.On arrival, we both were offered a glass of fresh orange juice and little did we know, it was free, not sure if that will be a lasting thing but at the time very refreshing.We were welcomed by warm friendly staff and by the owner, which wasn’t done by the previous owner, however, we ordered two teas and for our meals, my wife ordered Sausage and Mash with onion gravy, myself, i ordered the slowly cooked Beef in a giant Yorkshire pudding. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, my wife was very happy to taste proper creamed Mash and not the tinned Smash, the sausages were tasty and of good quality, which makes all the difference. We took our daughter and as she recently had eaten, she was sharing her Mums dinner, again the staff offered and gave us a separate plate which made things easier, which I thought was nice, our Daughter wolfed her dinner down. Maybe we should of ordered a meal for her, next time we will.My slow cooked Beef was served with Carrots and Onions, and sat inside a Giant Yorkshire Pud, delicious and plentiful. Fantastic value for money.We will be going again soon, I may attempt the large breakfast, I did see one being served and I kid you not, it looks BIG.Well done Brian and your staff, we wish you all the very best on your new adventure.Sam B.
