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.

Trying a Chocolate Madness shake from the Stone House Cafe

 

A festive Holiday Shake from Laina's Homemade Ice Cream, sold inside the Stone House Cafe in Seattle.  

When I saw that Laina's was making these fun shakes, I couldn't wait to head over to the Stone House Cafe and try one. This summer I visited and got to try a yummy Root Bear Float, a root beer float with a bear on top. You can see that post right here! 

I really wanted the Peppermint one but they were out of the ingredients. So I ordered the Chocolate Madness shake. I chose to have it with Cookies and Cream ice cream. It was topped with a small chocolate donut, a brownie, two chocolate wafer sticks, two Ghirardelli Peppermint Squares, chocolate frosting, walnuts, and I had them add crushed up peppermint on top! 

It was one heck of a milkshake! It was the perfect way to end Christmas. My favorite part of the shake was the actual shake part and the small brownie. And no, I didn't eat this by myself! I had about half the shake and half of the brownie and donut. After having this decadent dessert, we went to the park and tried to get some exercise. 

I liked how the Stone House Cafe was all decked out for the holidays! And I loved how they thought up these shakes. They are so fun, unique, and delicious to consume!
