Review: Captain Cacao’s Starlight Voyage Is One of Epic Universe’s Most Unique Treats
Some of the best discoveries at Epic Universe aren’t announced with giant signs. Satellite Shakes, the small pickup window attached to Meteor Astropub in Celestial Park, almost feels like a secret hideaway. There’s no large hanging menu drawing you in, making it seem like you’ve stumbled onto something only seasoned explorers know about. Once you order one of its handcrafted shakes, you’ll understand why it’s worth seeking out.

Satellite Shakes currently offers three over-the-top creations: Captain Cacao’s Starlight Voyage, Comet’s Cookies & Cream Voyage, and the fruity Moonbeam Voyage. While each offers its own unique flavor profile, we decided to try Captain Cacao’s signature shake, and it certainly left an impression.
Captain Cacao’s Starlight Voyage starts with a rich chocolate shake and layers on marshmallow, blackberry syrup, praline crunch, chocolate whipped topping, and Captain Cacao’s signature chocolate hat. It’s assembled by hand, and that craftsmanship really shows. From the careful toppings to the presentation, this feels like part dessert, part edible work of art.
Interestingly, our group was split on the flavor. The biggest chocolate lover among us wasn’t a fan because of the blackberry syrup, which adds a fruity twist that changes the shake from being a straightforward chocolate experience. If you’re expecting a classic chocolate milkshake, that berry note may catch you by surprise.
For me, though, that’s exactly what made it special. The blackberry syrup cuts through the richness of the chocolate and marshmallow, creating a layered flavor that never becomes overwhelming. Combined with the crunch from the praline topping and the creamy texture of the handcrafted shake, every sip offered something a little different. It was rich, flavorful, and unlike any milkshake I’ve had in a theme park.

If you’re looking for a simple chocolate shake, this probably isn’t it. But if you’re willing to try something a little more adventurous, Captain Cacao’s Starlight Voyage is one of the standout desserts at Epic Universe. It’s creative, beautifully presented, and well worth tracking down at one of the park’s most overlooked snack locations.
