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.

A Visit to Giovane Cafe at the Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver


Just down the street from the Auberge Hotel where we stayed is the Fairmont Pacific Rim. There you'll find Giovane Café. Its a bright and modern café with long lines, but when you reach the front of the line you'll be rewarded with two display cases. The first one has muffins and croissants. But keep going to the other case and that's where you'll find the sugar buns and the other delectable looking desserts. I've been seeing these Matcha Sugar Buns all over Instagram, thinking they were the bees knees, cause they look so pretty. But let me warn you-if matcha is not your game, get one of the Classic Sugar Buns instead. I didn't like the flavor of the matcha in this at all and couldn't eat it.  It did photograph well but that's where the fun ended. Plus it was really messy and was overloaded with the matcha cream. So if you get one of these sugar buns, do it right and sit down in the café with a knife and fork.
