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.

A Coffee Milk Tea to celebrate National Bubble Tea Day!

Today is National Bubble Tea Day, so of course I had to go get a drink. I wanted to go somewhere new I've never been. So I chose Blank Space Cafe in Belltown. Some coffee sounded good so I ordered a Coffee Milk Tea with Boba. They also sell macarons, so we chose six to share. We picked three Captain Crunch Berry ones, a Fruity Pebbles, Salted Caramel, and a Vietnamese Coffee macaron. They were pretty and tasty!

My drink hit the spot and the caffeine gave me a nice Friday afternoon boost. The boba pearls had a nice chewiness and flavor to them. Black Space Cafe also sells Bubble Waffles with ice cream, ice cream floats with boba pearls, and Toastbox with ice cream. Toastbox is a fun name for the Japanese dessert, Honey Toast. So this is the spot if you're in Belltown and craving something sweet and you also want a bubble tea!
