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. It was time for a meal there again. For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

Everyone knows how much I love cupcakes. Whether I'm eating or photographing these popular treats, I'm pretty happy and then of course hyper from the sugar rush! Well, now Cupcake Royale in Seattle serves ice cream to go along with the cupcakes. They have over fourteen flavors to choose from. I didn't think it got any better than cupcakes. Who thinks of these things? My hubby and I went to downtown on Sunday night to check out the brand spanking new Cupcake Royale on 108 Pine St. We shared one scoop of the Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream, one Cherry Chocolate Chunk Cupcake and a double Americano coffee. Whew! It was such a good summer night treat and the perfect amount of dessert since we shared. This is their sixth location now. They're taking over Seattle it seems and we aren't complaining!

Their new store at 108 Pine St. in Seattle.

They have something for everyone. Cupcakes, Coffee, Ice Cream, Cake Pops, Lollipops and more. If that won't do it, then there is a Chocolate and Wine Store right next door at the Chocolate Box.

Our shared scoop of Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream made from local blueberries. The ice cream was creamy and rich so I was glad I had my husband to help me finish it!

Cupcakes, Cupcakes and more Cupcakes!

We loved the cupcake we chose! It was like Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia but in a cupcake. So good and we loved the chocolate and cherry chunks. The frosting was so sweet and thick, too.
