About Shake-It
Shake-It is the daytime counter on Grand Avenue at the Spirit Valley end of west Duluth, doing breakfast, lunch and the malts and shakes the name promises.
West Duluth is well supplied with taverns and thin on places that open in the morning, so a breakfast and lunch counter carries more weight here than the same business would on the east side. Between this and the Spirit Valley commercial block a short walk away, Denfeld and Norton Park households have a genuine everyday option rather than a drive downtown.
It runs 7am to 3pm on weekdays and 9am to 2pm on Saturdays, closing Sundays, so it is a morning and lunch business rather than an evening one.
One caveat on how that is known. The hours come from a site that carries this business's name but states no address anywhere, so it confirms the hours without confirming that it belongs to the Grand Avenue premises. The address itself is corroborated between a directory listing and the OpenStreetMap record. Treat the operating status as unconfirmed and call before you make the trip.
Good to know: breakfast, lunch, malts and shakes, counter service, daytime only.
