Malt Shop

The refreshment industry has added great flavor to the local economy since the first dairy-based beverage stand sprouted in Cape Suzette at the turn of the century. Now, malt shops and cafes all over town satisfy customers' cravings for something sweet and cool — the name "malt shop" comes from the malted milk used as a main ingredient in drinks and desserts. Youths of all ages love to hang out in these places, where flavored milkshakes go for prices that a nickel-and-dime budget can easily afford.
