It’s no surprise that we’re big fans of a well-made milkshake here in Washington. Whether you’re craving an old-fashioned, simple shake from Frisko Freeze or an outrageous Instagram-worthy creation from The Yard, you can have what you want in a matter of hours (and hopefully less).

But what if we told you some of the best shakes in the state come from a little small-town restaurant that also specializes in hearty subs? Allow us to introduce you to Canna Cabana.

When you're driving through the city of Lacey (located just outside of Olympia), you must add a stop to Canna Cabana Subs & Shakes to your itinerary. This shake and sandwich shop has two locations — one drive-thru-only location and a full restaurant.

To put it mildly, this place... is not what it seems.

You can find the drive-thru-only location at 193 Marvin RD SE. The full restaurant is located at 4660 Whitman Ln SE Suite E in Lacey.
Canna Cabana isn't a pot shop, although it is well-known for its mouthwatering munchies.

The sandwich shop has been around for seven years and it's one of the highest-rated restaurants in town.
No matter if you go through the drive-thru or step inside the lively and fun restaurant, you are in for a delicious experience.

At Canna Cabana's full restaurant, you can always order take-out or relax in the colorful dining room.
This place sells classic and creative sub sandwiches that are anything but ordinary.

And it's no gimmick. The meats and cheeses are all sliced fresh daily and the sandwiches are made from the finest ingredients.
