The Diner

The Diner is a really cute American style restaurant, you can also go there to play pool, or just drink. You don't really have to go there at meal times because they serve a set menu at all times of day which is really good for me because I'm always hungry. They have a few different branches but most recently I went to the one in Angel. 
I have had their milkshakes, and they're really good, but recently I tried their Root Beer Float. That is a drink with Root Beer, but with two scoops of vanilla ice-cream as well, because the ice-cream interacts with the fizzy drink really well creating a sort of milkshake consistency. Their french toast is incredible, but sadly not as good as the one at The Breakfast Club. However it's also yummy because they drench it in maple syrup here. I love their burgers. 
With my Float I got a cheese burger and it was amazing. All the layers fit together perfectly and I had a bunch of mouth watering bites. I tend to have a big problem with burgers, the yummier they are the more I get of them all over my face and hands. I had a really good time there, and my friends spoke in Swedish with the waitress which gave me a more homey feel. Also, the five of us fit pretty comfortably in the booth we were given, and the table wasn't too wide so we didn't have to scream across it to let our friends hear us. Overall, it was a good and quick meal, I think next time I just want to go there for a drink and let the ambiance of the place soak in. Here's their website: http://www.goodlifediner.com/

The Breakfast Club

Throughout London there are a few restaurants named "The Breakfast Club". They all have yellow doors, old school interiors and amazing food. My friend just told me that on the internet there are bad reviews for the Breakfast Club, which makes me really sad, because its an amazing place. Their burgers and breakfast food is incredible and so are their homemade juice combos.
I frequently go to one near Spitalfields market, because that's the closest one to home, but I've also been to the one in Soho and the one in Hoxton. In the Spitalfields one there is a fridge door that leads you to the bar, if you just want to go for drinks but there's also a big seating area before getting to the fridge door. The menus are really varied for a burger and breakfast place but if you go after 5 pm the bigger breakfast menu is not going to be served any more.
They have a couple of really cool light up signs throughout the venue, as well as a traffic light showing when food is ready to be served to the tables. Sadly, I've never tried the dessert menu because I always happen to stuff my face before I get there, but the desserts I'm seen all look really good. I'm just a sucker for french fries. I love love love fries.

Love Shake

On Shoreditch high street there is an amazing milkshake place called "Love Shake". You can get shakes with oreo, peanut butter, short cake, traditional flavours (strawberry, chocolate, vanilla), and alcoholic ones. They also serve food, but i don't recommend getting food cause the milkshakes are so filling.
The interior of Love Shake is very retro, there are pictures of Elvis and Wonderwoman from the old comic books. There are booths set up on the sides and their tables are set up like old diner table. They have cute lamps with cheesy lampshades and mirrors on the walls. My favourite thing is that the bathroom doors are covered with men and women from the 50's.
I go to Love Shake way too often, I go at least once a week, I can't get enough of their shakes. Here's their webpage: http://www.theloveshake.co.uk/
