When we find something that shakes us to our core, we get a little worked up. And the Addicted Crazy Shakes ($14.95) from Addicted Coffee Bar’s Lakewood location have our sweet tooth ready to take a spin.

Owner Vincent Brunori creates every shake around ice cream flavors made by North Royalton’s Country Parlor Ice Cream, such as the cotton candy ice cream base in the Unicorns & Rainbows shake topped with cotton candy, sour fruit strips and Nerds candy.

Weighing in at 24 ounces, each shake is stacked with goodies and is definitely best tackled by a team.

“Only 5% of people finish the shake by themselves,” Brunori says. “I’ve seen an 8-year-old do it.”

Go blue and spring for the Cookie Monster Craze, a citrusy blue moon ice cream blended with Oreos and cookie dough, then piled high with whipped cream, mini snack cakes and cookies.

“We try to think outside the box,” says Brunori. “I like very elaborate stuff.” 13743 Madison Ave., Lakewood, 216-210-8563, addictedcoffeebar.com
