About Shake House - Selly Oak
Shake House - Selly Oak is a restaurant in Birmingham at 9 Oak Tree Ln, built around a dessert menu that is served in the evenings only. The kitchen makes waffles and milkshakes, and the cake list includes the Dream Cake (Original). It opens daily, so an evening sweet course is available any day of the week. A queue tends to form at busy times, which is worth knowing before heading over after dinner.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply, with online orders and delivery drawing the most complaints. Several describe ordering online and being told no drivers were available, then waiting on a refund that never arrived, with calls to the store going unanswered. One says a three-waffle order was swapped for two cookie doughs, and another reports an order that never came and a missing cookie dough. Two reviewers describe a Dream Cake and a red velvet cake covered in mould, and one of them reports being sick afterward and contacting health officials. On the other side, in-store visits get warm reviews. Diners praise the milkshakes, the cookie dough and the waffles, and one mentions a free Yazoo milkshake added to an order. Several describe friendly staff who stayed polite and kept service quick despite a long queue, including a lone worker handling a busy shop. One reviewer notes the staff kept a positive attitude even when the store was extremely busy.

“Bought a Dream Cake (Original) today and got home to find it was covered in mould and smelled absolutely disgusting. Completely inedible. Really disappointed — this is a serious food safety issue and not something any customer should experience. I’ll be reporting this to the Food Standards Agency. Avoid.”

“Absolutely amazing experience at Shake House Selly Oak! The shakes were incredible, but what really made the visit stand out was the Assistant Store Manager, Daniela. She was exceptional from start to finish — friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive even though the store was extremely busy. She went over and beyond to make sure everyone was looked after and still managed to keep such a positive attitude throughout. It’s rare to see customer service that genuine under pressure. Huge credit to Daniela :::”

“absolutely amazing, came in last night for a cookie dough and a milkshake, hands down the best I’ve had, the small young man working there was an absolute delight, 10/10 experience. Would recommend to anyone planning on going!”
