| - Doc's Shake Shoppe is a hidden gem in Parma, just south of Pleasant Valley on the East side of State road - look for the red awnings behind the yellow house. You'll be glad you did.
Doc's still makes all the old fashioned favorites - one way that I test whether I will return to an ice cream shop is by ordering a chocolate ice cream soda. If I get a "what's that" or worse, a senseless waste of concocted ingredients, I know. And that happens more than half of the time, and almost always if a HS kid on their first job takes my order. Doc's got it right, and fast, the first time I went there and I've been coming back ever since.
This time, I ordered a chocolate malt and it was heaven. Also among our orders was the Krazy Kookie Dough ice cream, which was bright yellow with red chunks of cookie dough - the kids loved it and the colors were really off the wall and fun. A simple rootbeer float rounded out the order and we paid just under $12 for the three orders.
This is a family owned business and it's worth a stop for ice cream, shakes, sundaes, floats, or whatever you like, and even though the menu board says "cash only", there is a chance that the person will have a card reader for their cell phone.
