It’s been a fruitful couple of years for hybrid sweet treats. We live for the beautiful marriage of two delicious treat items, both alike in dignity, and apparently so does everyone else. And now the birth of the cronut, cruffin, duffin, frissant, and zonut has paved the way for the most glorious hybrid of all: frozen custard. Frozen goddamn custard y’all.
Taking cues from the mighty Shake Shack, frozen custard is the jewel in the crown of the newly opened venue Royal Stacks on Collins Street and the best part is: they’re handing it out for free on Wednesday, February 3. From 5-7pm they’ll be handing out free cups of fro-cu (that’s frozen and custard to you) on the proviso that you sign in on the Yelp app.
While you’re there, check out Royal Stacks itself. Not only are they the only place in Melbourne where you’ll find the aforementioned frozen custard, but the very Shake Shack vibe is brought to you by the cool dudes from Easey’s and Grand Trailer Park Taverna. Yummo.
