CookieShake

Upper Parliament Street has quietly become the spot where students and locals actually want to spend their money, and CookieShake slots in perfectly. You'll walk in to find the kind of friendly chaos that suggests the staff genuinely enjoy their shifts—no dead-eyed register staring here. The draw is straightforward: proper cookies (still warm, usually) paired with shakes that don't taste like they came from a powder mix. It's the sort of place where 4.5 stars across over 1,100 reviews feels genuinely earned rather than inflated. Prices won't hurt your wallet either, with most things hovering around a fiver. The vibe is proper casual—pop in between lectures, drag a mate round before heading to Hockley, or just treat yourself on a weekday afternoon.
