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.

Trying Asian Pastries at Cafe Aloe

 

Two yummy Piggy Buns from Cafe Aloe in Bellevue. 


To celebrate the start of Spring Break, we took off to the Eastside and visited Cafe Aloe. Their coffee, sparkling juices, and Asian pastries looked too good to pass up. The owners started Cafe Aloe when they realized there weren't many spots for these types of pastries outside of Seattle's I.D. Their buns and egg tarts are really unique and aren't served at too many places in Seattle. They offer three types of Egg Tarts- Traditional, Matcha, and Creme Brulee. They also serve the adorable and almost too cute to eat Piggy Buns. They have three types of filling for those. Custard, Molten Custard, and Taro. We tried one of each. I also got a Creme Brulee Egg Tart. 

Cafe Aloe also has Pineapple Buns. And they take them one step further by adding eggs to theirs, resulting in a deliciously sweet and savor sandwich. Their drinks looked really fun and different, too. They have a wide range of coffee drinks and even have several fruity non-alcoholic sparkling juices. I chose a Peach Mojito and if was full of fresh peaches on the bottom and a really refreshing sparkling juice.  

They are currently open for dine-in, so we grabbed a table and got to snacking. Cafe Aloe is worth the drive from Seattle for their drinks and pastries, for sure!
