The seasonal cult favorite went missing from the Bay Area for several years.
Mickey D's quietly rolled cult favorite Shamrock Shake into several S.F. stores last week. The seasonal vanilla "milkshake" mixed with green mint syrup was introduced in 1970 to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Now it's available this time every year (small/medium/large, $2.59/$2.79/$2.99), but only in certain markets. We seem to remember the Shamrock skipping the Bay Area for several years ― last year only a few random McDonald's around the bay sold it to lucky fans for a couple of days before completely selling out, so if you have a craving for this old-time minty favorite, check your nearest McDonald's
now. The pictured shake came from the Bryant and Sixth Street location ― we hear that both the Van Ness and Ocean Avenue stores currently have it. Are we missing any? Let us know.
Shamrock Shake sightings:
• SOMA McDonald's 820 Bryant (at Sixth St.), 864-5282
• Civic Center McDonald's 600 Van Ness (at Golden Gate), 441-8890
• Ingleside McDonald's 1201 Ocean (at Brighton), 585-8697
