According to a recently submitted alcohol license application, American fast-casual restaurant chain Shake Shack is expanding its Bay Area footprint, gearing up to debut a new outpost in Berkeley.
Coming to 1554 Bascom Avenue, the eatery will land near establishments such as Blue Bottle Coffee, Brown’s Cafe, and Yali’s Cafe.
For readers who are unfamiliar with the concept, Shake Shack offers a brief introduction on its website: “When Shake Shack started as a hot dog cart in New York City’s Madison Square Park, our mission was simple: raise funds for a public art project.”
“From quality sourcing of ingredients in strict accordance with our industry-leading animal welfare practices to making our Shacks beautiful community gathering spaces built with sustainable materials, our goal is always the same: do the right thing,” the statement continues.
The menu will remain consistent with existing Bay Area locations. In addition to classic burgers, fries, and shakes, it will include California-inspired specials like the Golden State Double — a double cheeseburger topped with pickles and smoked garlic aioli — as well as temporary menu items like the White Truffle Burger and the White Truffle ‘Shroom Burger.
An opening date has not been announced yet. Follow Shake Shack on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on what’s to come.
