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 a Supreme Croissant at Little Cafe on Robson in Vancouver, BC

 

The popular round Croissants from Little Cafe on Robson! 


Visiting Vancouver BC pretty much guarantees you'll eat some tasty food. There's no shortage of spots to try and there's a lot of unique items to try. One in particular is the viral Supreme Croissants. These croissants were all over social media. They're a hard pastry to find and they don't have them in Seattle yet. The first place in the U.S to carry them is Lafayette in NYC and the lines for these pastries was and still probably is, no joke.

Also called circular, spiral, or round croissants, these croissants are huge, have lots of filling, and plenty of flaky layers. They're also perfect for sharing, which is good because one will set you back $10 at Little Cafe on Robson. 

We visited around 2 pm on a Friday afternoon. Lucky for us, there was no line and they still had some of the Supreme Croissants. The bakery is pretty small, but they do have some seating. We tried the Mont Blanc croissant, which is a chestnut flavor. The croissant was stuffed with the creamy filling, and it was fun to eat because of the flaky layers and spiral pieces. I realize as I type this, I didn't take any photos of the filling. I did a video, however, and shared it to my IG @uniquefoodfinds. Be sure to follow me there for unique and fun food. 

The croissant was pretty filling, so we took the rest with us and polished it off later. Then it was off to our next stop. Robson St is chock full of bakeries, boba tea spots, restaurants, and designer shops. I love starting off our Vancouver visits here.
