Chocolate lovers, this is your pit stop. Deep cocoa flavor anchors a dense, creamy base, with just enough bitterness to keep it from tipping into sugary overload. It feels like dessert and espresso had a late night truce.

Strawberry at Maverik tastes sunny, even at dawn. Real fruit notes brighten the cream, delivering a fresh, not syrupy, finish. It is the kind of shake that pairs with breakfast burritos when you are chasing an early start.

The Sandy crew can lighten the blend if you prefer a morning friendly sip. Ask for no whipped cream to keep it crisp and refreshing. You will walk out ready for I 15 with summer in your cup, regardless of season.

Caramel Salt Flats
