All’s in bloom this summer as Shake Shack brings made-to-order Angus beef burgers, crispy chicken, hand-spun milkshakes, house-made lemonades, beer, wine and more to hungry fans in Quezon City when it recently opened at SM North Edsa.

Shake Shack brings in the beauty of the outdoors with its in-Shack artwork created by the local graphic designer and illustrator Raxenne Maniquiz. The artist behind Shack SM North’s vibrant hoarding, Maniquiz paints a statement mural piece on the Shack’s facade punctuated by the playful Shack icons, setting a fun background for selfies. Inside the Shack, she visually translates her Philippine flora and fauna piece into 73 polygon diagrams spanning the outlet’s long dining space, providing pops of color in the interiors natural finish.

Treat for a cause

There are a wide range of desserts with interesting names available in Shack SM North. The Berry Bituin concrete, a playful take on Quezon City’s City of Stars moniker and the Filipino word for star (bituin), combines sweet and tart featuring vanilla frozen custard blended with strawberry sauce and Auro chocolate chunks, topped with freeze-dried strawberries. Shine with delight with the popular Apple Pie Oh My concrete, a vanilla frozen custard blended with Tilde Bakery and Kitchen’s French Apple Pie. As part of its mission to Stand for Something Good, Shake Shack is committed to supporting its local communities and sourcing real, premium ingredients. Five percent of sales from any Apple Pie Oh My concrete will support Centex, Ayala Foundation’s holistic education program that promotes student parent and teacher development from underserved Filipino communities. What’s sweeter? The concrete’s frozen custard is made with real sugar, no corn syrup and milk from dairy farmers who pledge never to use artificial growth hormones.
