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. Both food items were tasty and satisfying.  My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too.

Soft Serve from Tip Top Ice Cream | A Visit to Highland Park Corner Store

 

Some Marionberry New Zealand style ice cream from Tip Top Ice Cream. 


To celebrate Father's Day, our family went out for ice cream to Tip Top Ice Cream. They're located inside of Highland Park Corner Store in West Seattle. Inside this shop you'll find snacks for sale, an espresso and coffee stand, sandwiches made to order, beer and wine, and ice cream. 

The ice cream from Tip Top is advertised as "New Zealand style with a northwest twist". We've had this style of ice cream before, and it really is fantastic. The dairy base is made using fresh fruit and then it is swirled in a machine, creating fruity, soft serve ice cream.

I chose their seasonal special, Marionberry. My son chose a kid's size Strawberry with chocolate sprinkles, in a sugar cone. The prices are really decent, too. His was only $5 and my medium sized ice cream in a cup was $7. The medium was a big serving, however. The ice cream tasted delicious and as good as it looked. So fresh and creamy! 

My husband and I also shared some Froze, a Rose Slushie, that tasted so refreshing. For $9, this seemed like a great deal. The barista messed up a coffee order, so she gave us a free iced latte, so we also enjoyed that! The sandwiches they make there also looked great, and we may have to come back to the Highland Park Corner Store again!
