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...

Seattle's Best Donuts

 Donuts are one of life's guilty pleasures. They are in no way a health food, yet something about biting into a warm donut is just good for the soul. There are so many ways to make them and I'm always on the lookout for a unique donut. And Seattle has a lot of places to get them. Some are incredible and some are just not it. Here are my eight favorite spots to get donuts in Seattle. Just click on the link in the descriptions for more info on each spot.   


I love the fluffy and soft doughnuts from General Porpoise. And their fillings are homemade and extra tasty. 


The donuts from Donut Factory are unique, fun, and fresh. 


Like huge donuts bigger than your head? Go to Pike Place Bakery. And they've been open since 1983. 


Mochinut has two locations in Seattle. Their Mochi donuts are what's up. So fun to eat and even a little lighter than most donuts. 


I finally got to try a Cronut-a cross between a croissant and a donut. I had them from Temple Pastries and they were way worth the hype. 


Another place to get Mochi Donuts in Seattle is Dochi. They also have two locations in Seattle. 


Top Pot Doughnuts is one of the most popular in Seattle. They have 17 locations now. Their doughnuts are fresh and the flavors are classic. 


Another spot at Pike Place Market for donuts is Daily Dozen Donut Co. Grab a brown bag of these mini doughnuts and eat while walking around the market. Now that's a good afternoon in Seattle. 

These are my fav donut spots in Seattle but I haven't tried all the places, of course! Here are three I still really want to try. 

Located in Hillman Seattle, these Brioche donuts are incredibly popular. The lines are always long. I'll make it there eventually to try them. 

These handcrafted donuts in Cap Hill look so delicious. 

In the Central District lies this really good looking spot. They sell out fast, but one day I'll go and try them.
