When you ask someone where to find the best shake at Bear Lake you can get a few different answers and it can even turn into a controversy as everyone claims they know the best place to find the most delicious shake. Bear Lake is a shake heaven to any ice cream contisor, there are several places to choose from, soft ice cream, hard ice cream, there is even a new self serve yogurt shop there as of last summer. I used to believe that Le Beaus was the best, because that was the only place that my family went; however, I have recently began to branch out. I have tried each place that someone has referred me to as the best place to get a Bear Lake shake. I have tried the quick and tasty, the chevron (believe it or not), Bear Lake Pizza, and Lakeside Pizza.
I now believe that my search has come to an end at a location that is not well known in the Pickleville area of Bear Lake. Just East of the Pickleville playhouse there is a small blue building called Pickleville grocery, the sign advertises Bear Lake subs and shakes. The shake shack is an even smaller building than the grocery store and is a little behind and to the East of the store.
This place was AMAZING!! It offers hard ice cream shakes with many different flavor and mix in options. Their most unique mix in options being a slice of pie, a piece of cake, lemon merenge, and cake batter. There are no syrup flavors here, the cake batter is actual "Fun Fetti" cake batter, the cake is moist chocolate cake from Costco, and you can choose from a slice of Apple, Cherry, Cheescake, or Pecan Pie. I am sure the calorie count for those is very high, but who is counting when you are enjoying a little piece of milk shake heaven.
