Shake Shack, St David’s 2, Cardiff
On December 22, 2015 by The Plate Licked CleanOccupying a prime slab of city centre real estate on the first floor of St David’s 2, Shake Shack is brand new- as I write this, it’s been open for less than three hours- and is their first UK branch outside London, extending the narrative of Cardiff as somewhere even star ‘brands’- hello Burger and Lobster,
