Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos. Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce.

The new Coffee Cruffin from 85 C Bakery Cafe at Westfield Southcenter.

My family and I love going to 85 C Bakery Cafe when we go to Westfield Southcenter, our local mall in Tukwila. They have so many options of fresh pastries, plus yummy coffees, bubble tea, and smoothies. You can grab a tray and a pair of tongs, then just pick out your pastries and place them on your tray.

And they now have Coffee Cruffins! These delicious pastries are not only flaky but are filled with an amazing Macchiato cream. Cruffins are a pastry hybrid that are a cross between a croissant and a muffin.

You definitely have to try these cruffins!

I took these photos back at home, since I saved one of the cruffins for breakfast the next day! Check out that lovely filling!
