Shake Shack Vanilla Shake Price, Nutrition and Allergens
What Is the Shake Shack Vanilla Shake?
The Vanilla Shake is a classic Shake Shack dessert made with house-made vanilla frozen custard, spun to creamy perfection using real vanilla. It’s smooth, sweet, and rich—perfect on its own or paired with any Shack burger or fries.
Tree Nut Allergy Warning (NYC, LA, Miami only): We strongly advise against ordering shakes and frozen custard at this time due to potential cross-contact with the Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake.
May also contain trace amounts of wheat, gluten, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame due to shared preparation areas.
