The current seasonal concrete at Shake Shack is the Concord's Cue. The concrete consists of vanilla frozen custard blended with fresh concord grapes and walnut-grape jam shortbread (from Brooklyn bakery Butter + Love).
This concrete was pretty good but not our favorite. The walnut-grape jam shortbread was really tasty. The crumbly (but firm) texture, the rich grape flavor, and the buttery cake when topped with a light layer of vanilla custard was really good. It was nice having actual grapes in there too but they had seeds, which is a bit difficult to eat in a concrete. A accidentally chewed a couple seeds up before realizing what they were. M's favorite part was the shortbread, and A enjoyed, despite the seeds, the fresh grapes. Maybe the shortbread by itself with a side of custard would work better than blended in a concrete.
The concrete is only available at the Theater District Shake Shack until today, October 8th, so if you want to try it, head over soon!
