Bri Covington, a member of Tri Sigma, shared their memorable experience at The Sweet Spot. “I got a milkshake that had a birthday cake milkshake, it had cake, an additional ice cream cone, lollipop and a donut. It was literally the best thing I’ve ever had and you get to keep the mason jar they put it in. It was $10.99, but you get to keep the cup as well,” Covington said.
