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...

Where To Get Your Boba Fix In The Seattle Area

If you follow me on Instagram or have seen some of my recent blog posts, you know I like Boba Tea. Why do I enjoy it so much? Its tastes delicious, its refreshing, I enjoy eating the tapioca balls, and the cups are always cute. Its a huge craze now in the Seattle area and there are new Boba spots popping up all the time. I've been lucky to have checked out quite a few, but there's still many more shops I'd love to visit. Here are six spots for Boba Tea in Seattle and the surrounding areas. Cheers!





I recently tried Ding Tea, located in the University District. I had the Monster Bobo Latte, which was their unique brown sugar recipe with warm soft pearls, and chilled fresh milk. It was tasty and I liked how soft the tapioca balls were. However, I ordered it with cheese foam and didn't taste any. Maybe they just didn't use enough to notice, but the drink would have been better with more.

We love 85 Degrees at Westfield Southcenter in Tukwila for their Taiwanese pastries, but their drinks are also top notch. They seem to take a while to make, but the wait is always worth it. Last time I tried a Sea Salt Caramel Coffee with tapioca balls. The drink gave me a nice caffeine buzz and tasted great!  


Inside Southcenter Mall in Tukwila is another spot for Boba Tea. Check out Braganza Tea. They have limited options since they're on the small side in the mall. But the coffee flavored drink with tapioca balls hit the spot and refreshed me as I walked around the mall.



Another option for Boba Tea in Tukwila is Tea Time, located near Value Village. I tried one of their adorable glass bottles with Black Tea Milk and Crystal Boba and Grass Jelly. The bottle is reusable and you can even bring it back and get a discount on your next drink. The flavors were great and I enjoyed having both boba and grass jelly.


The International District in Seattle has many solid options for Boba Tea. I tried Young Tea. This was in the fall when they had Pumpkin Spice Black Tea Milk. I also added boba because I like how extra it makes these drinks!


Bellevue Square added two new spots for Boba Tea in 2018. Along with Happy Lemon, which I posted about a few months ago and you can read here, and Mi Tea. This was my first time trying Cheese Foam, and I loved it. I had the Peach Oolong Tea and it was so good with the cheese foam. It resembled peach cheesecake, only more refreshing.
