Holy shakes has many locations. This is the first Toronto location (near Queen and Spadina) and the newest with the soft opening on 2021-12-11.
One thing to note is that every Holy Shakes location also has a T.O.'s Kathi Roll Eatery in the same restaurant; both are owned by the same owner. The former offers dessert shakes and cakes while the latter offers fusion Indian cuisine.
My son and I went on 2021-12-22 after its recent grand opening. We went to check out the new restaurant and only ordered one shake: Oreo Hazelnut Exotic Shake ($11). It comes with a Ferrero Roche on top. It was delicious, tastes fresh, and filling. Yes a $11 is expensive but shake is enough for 2 people or 1 super hungry person.
I was surprised to learn that the Exotic Shakes have the same volume of milk shake as their Super Freakshakes. The former comes in a thin glass bottle while the latter comes in a wide glass mug. The Super Freakshakes come with a dessert (eg, cake, waffle) on top.
There are so many shakes to pick from! What I didn't know was that you can mix and match to create hundreds of different shakes! You can also choose the ice cream option and milk option.
You can take the glass bottles/mugs with you (yes, takeout orders also come in glass bottles/mugs). On you next visit, when you return the bottle/mug, you get 5% off your next order.
The restaurant is small in that there are only 2 small tables and counters to put your food on. My family were planning to return in Jan to have a full meal (from both restaurants) in Jan but then there was a "no indoor dining" mandate imposed 2022-01-05. Once that happened, the tables are no longer available, even if you wanted use them to take pictures.
My pictures from 2021-12-22 also include another diners' Exotic Shakes and Super Freakshakes.
There is a little market where they sell pre-made shakes, cakes (that they also use in their Super freakshakes), and snacks (that they also use in their shakes). Their cakes are from Cheesecake Factory.
There is free WiFi. There is a washroom whenever there is indoor dining. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is parking on city streets but be aware of time restrictions.
