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...

Trying a Ube Latte at Coffeeholic House

 

A fun and unique Ube Latte with Cheese Foam from Coffeeholic in Columbia City. 

Back in the Springtime when all this Covid stuff started, a new coffeeshop opened up in Columbia City. Because coffee is essential, they've done very well and had no trouble drumming up business. Social media played into that as well, as Instagram is such an efficient way to get the word out. Since Coffeeholic House opened, I've seen so many pretty photos of their coffees and I couldn't wait to visit their store. 

It's now the end of August, how did we get here? And I finally moseyed my way over to try some coffee. They serve Vietnamese coffee and are starting a Viet-Fusion coffee trend. Coffeeholic serves drinks with Ube and Cheese foam, and I couldn't wait to try it.  Ube is a purple sweet potato and have been popular in desserts lately. I chose a large, 20 oz, Ube Latte with Almond Milk and extra Cheese Foam. I also bought a Chocolate Croissant. There is no seating available, but for now there's an outdoor patio area up the street where you can hang out and enjoy your food and drinks. I really like their interior and the wall mural with the bird is beautiful. 

My drink was really pretty and colorful. I enjoyed the cheese foam on top. I think the Almond Milk took away from the coffee and Ube flavor a bit though. I couldn't taste the Ube too much, but it did make a unique looking coffee drink. The chocolate croissant wasn't my favorite, as the chocolate was too dark and bitter for my taste. I'd been hearing wonderful things about this place and I'm glad I finally stopped in.
