It's all about the food.

June is here and summer is here! For those who have finished University for good, a massive well done! Unfortunately for me, this is only a temporary break and I still have three months to go until I finish the course. So I need to cherish this short break and do as much fun stuff as possible, starting off with eating yummy food - Oh yes. 

Shake Shack is a much raved American burger restaurant located within historic market building in Covent Garden (and in Stratford). It is hard to miss with long queues outside. Having said that, when I went with my friend Tania on a Monday afternoon there was no queue so we must have been lucky! 

It took us a while to decided what we wanted (apart from my heart was set on cheese fries) despite their menu being quite simple - they all sounded delicious it's not my fault!

After much consideration, I went for SmokeShack (£7.25), cheese fries (£3.95) and strawberry lemonade (£3). SmokeShack is a cheese burger topped with smoked bacon, chopped cherry peppers and shack sauce.

Each burger comes with Shake Shack signature sauce 'shack sauce' which adds a little kick to the burger and you can add more of it for £1. I will definitely add the extra sauce next time I go!

Overall, I was happy with the quality of the burger but was little disappointed with how cold the food was. When you order your food, you get given a little buzzer and it lets you know when your burger is ready. When I went to collect mine, I had to wait for couple of minutes until I got my burger even though it was just sat right in front of me - VERY frustrating when you are starving and you are so close to your food! The weather was nice and summery so I chose to sat outside (semi) but there are seats inside too.

Bzzzz the burger is ready! or not?

After we stuffed our face with burgers, it was time for the deserts. Obviously. 

We headed downstairs to this cute cosy creperie called Creme De La Crepe. It's the cutest little place and it's perfect for both savoury and sweet nibbles.  

Each crepe have cheeky names to it, my favourite is Cheap Date (Mars Bar and baileys) why not?

Alongside their regular menu, they also have 'crepe of the month'. We both went for the monthly special Oh my god! with nutella, fresh strawberries, creamy white chocolate and fresh double cream (£5.25). I mean, OH MY GOD. All the crepes are made with order so they are served nice and  warm :) I love this place, if you can't already tell and I will complete all of the crepes one day! 

Oh my god!!

Always with a cuppa!

It is safe to say I had a very successful 'stuff my face day' and will be returning to both places very soon! Has anybody else been to either of the places? 

Here are the links for both places if you are interested :)
