FAQs
1. Is the Chocolate Milkshake suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. It contains no meat or animal-based rennet, so it is vegetarian-friendly.
2. Is the milkshake made with real ice cream?
No. It is made from a dairy-based milkshake mix, kept in a machine to maintain soft-serve consistency before being blended with chocolate syrup.
3. Does the Chocolate Milkshake contain caffeine?
Yes, in very small amounts. Cocoa powder naturally contains trace caffeine, but much less than coffee or tea.
4. Can I get a dairy-free or vegan version?
No. The milkshake base is dairy-based, so there is no vegan or dairy-free option currently.
5. Why is the milkshake machine sometimes “broken”?
The machine goes through a daily automated heat-cleaning cycle for food safety, which makes it temporarily unavailable.
