Bake n' Babes - Freak Shakes Price: $20 per shake Cuisine: Baked goods Address: 1701 N Franklin St, Tampa, FL Why You Need To Go: Their shakes are seriously sweet, served in massive mugs, topped with cakes, cookies, brownies โ you name it.

There's even a vegan one! Totally worth the trip. View this post on Instagram Going to a concert on a Tuesday night is not something I ever do, let alone in another city. I immediately start worrying about everything. Will the drive be worth it, will I be dead at work the next day, this is going to mess up my routine blah blah blah ... and you know what!? Itโs been an AMAZING 24 hours! We went in for a bombass milkshake, sat like three tables away from Lizzo, took a bite outta her ass, got a free cookie and got to catch up with my bestie. I wouldnโt have changed one thing! The universe and God had my back! ๐ #typesix A post shared by ale | podcaster (@unapologeticallyale) on Sep 11, 2019 at 2:01pm PDT Menu Joella's Hot Chicken - Fire In Da Hole Smothered Chicken Price: ๐ธ๐ธ Cuisine: Fried chicken; southern comfort sides.
