There was a line... there always seems to be a line... but fortunately for us we manage to get a seat for two almost immediately. The turnover at this place is not bad if you choose to dine as a couple but larger groups tend to incur longer waits.
We placed an order for their Killer Shake - The Infamous Nutella Milkshake. It took a while to get served. In fact I left my seat thinking I had to order at the counter. I ordered a single milkshake and the waitress tries to up sell me... which I hate. I politely gave a fair reason and declined. She didn't look happy.
The milkshake came and as required I took out all my camera hardware to snap this monstrosity they call a drink. So long were the days when a drink was about flavour.
This milkshake looked like it was eating an ice cream cone filled with gummy worms (which I don't think pairs well at all with a Nutella milkshake) and then thrown in amongst it were peanuts and liquorice allsorts. Seriously WTF? This fad is rage worthy at times.
So I drank my $9 milkshake which tasted fine (and nothing better than what I'd get at Jazz City Diner) then I had to fish out all the junk left at the bottom of my mason jar with my fingers and a makeshift McGyver spoon aka flimsy straw.... because I couldn't find a waitress to give me a serviette or a spoon.
The service appears to be friendly at times but it seems to chaotic and unorganised. Maybe they're understaffed, maybe they're not well trained... but whatever it is, it was annoying.
You'll find this tucked away in an unusual location inside Macquarie Center. Away from other eateries and next to an entrance to the car park. Despite its horrid location, it makes up for it with a beautiful decor, social media hype and the highlight of getting Instagram likes for your milkshake photos.

You don't sound at all impressed ;-)
And I am with you, what horrid flavour combinations!
