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.

A Visit to Freya Bakery and Cafe

 

A Raspberry Bar from Freya Bakery and Cafe in Pike Place Market.


Pike Place Market is filled to the brim with sweet treats, snacks, incredible coffee, fresh produce, and fresh seafood. I could go on and on. I've been many, many times over the years, and I'm always trying new places and new foods. That's because new spots are always opening, which is lucky for me! Today I spotted Freya Bakery and Cafe and decided to pop in for some dessert. 

They're a Scandinavian bakery and they feature pastries and espresso. Right away, I spotted some Raspberry Bars that looked so pretty and tasty, too! They're shortbread bars with a raspberry filling and a light white frosting on top. They looked like Poptarts, but only because they're the same rectangle shape. The bar was really crumbly, buttery, and sweet. I loved this treat! It tasted like a lemon bar to me, and I could have eaten another, if I wasn't already full from lunch. 

Their interior is small with only a little bit of seating, but they have a bench and a table outside. I got a European vibe from Freya and wished I could book a flight then and there! If you're wandering around Pike Place Market and need a treat or a coffee, check this spot out!
