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 Sea Salt Soft Serve at Aqua S in Bellevue

 

A Sea Salt Soft Serve with Caramel Corn and a Toasted Marshmallow. 


When I saw that Bellevue was opening an Aqua S location I was super excited. They first opened in Sydney, Australia in 2015. Their signature flavor is the pretty blue Sea Salt. Their mission was to bring the best soft serve experience to the world. They now have stores in the U.S, Canada, Singapore, and Cambodia, as well as four in Australia.  

Their Bellevue location just opened a little over a week ago. The interior is really cute with an old school analog phone for decoration. There are lots of fun backgrounds to take photos of with your ice cream. I chose the Sea Salt flavor with caramel corn and even a toasted marshmallow on a Pocky Stick. The ice cream here is pricey, especially when you add the multiple toppings like I did. The ice cream melts fast, so I'd recommend taking photos quickly and start eating it soon. 

The first bite was awesome. Loved the flavor of the ice cream. It tasted like sea salt caramel ice cream and the sea salt was pretty light. The caramel corn paired so well with the ice cream, too. It wasn't very big and I did share with my family. My son saw the marshmallow and ate it right away. I did get one bite and it tasted just like it was toasted over a campfire. Yum! 

The customer service was really good and I liked how friendly everyone was. If you love colorful soft serve and fun toppings, you'd love this place. I'm so happy that Seattle has lots of soft serve options now!
