One of the best spots in town to grab a shake would have to be Pizza Bob's. Nestled in the heart of State Street’s “south campus shops” area (between Hill and Packard), Pizza Bob's is a big reason Sierra and I venture back to campus on almost a weekly basis. While slumming it as a student, I lived right around the corner from Bob’s and was first introduced to its specialty shakes by my flat-mate, Gabe, who was Ann Arbor born and raised. Coming back to this part of town always brings back fond memories of trying to figure out life as a college student.
Part of what makes Pizza Bob’s shakes so good, is that they manually whip/mix the ice cream with the flavors in three stages (1/3 full, 2/3 full etc..). This enables them to get a really frothy texture throughout the entire shake, rather than being slurped all together in one go.
I order some form of chocolate chip shake every time. Normally banana-chocolate chip, or banana-chocolate-chocolate chip-malt. For their chocolate chip shakes, Bob’s uses the liquid chocolate that hardens when it freezes. When blended up, this creates an unreal chocolate chip experience that no straw can do justice to. A spoon is the only way to consume a real shake anyway.
