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...

A Visit to the Milk Bar store in Bellevue

 

The new Birthday Cake Latte soft serve from Milk Bar. 


Milk Bar store recently opened in the Seattle area! The store is located inside Bellevue Square, on the second floor by Nordstom. This was my first visit to a Milk Bar location. We went to their pop-up in Edmonds a couple of years ago and I've ordered one of their delicious cakes and had it shipped to my door. Milk Bar also has ice cream, cookies, and cake truffles they sell at some grocery stores. I've found their ice cream pints at Target and Whole Foods. But nothing is as fun as walking into one of their stores and getting soft serve and other treats. They have five other locations in the U.S, so we're lucky in Seattle to have one now. 

Milk Bar was started in 2008 by Christina Tosi. Her Cereal Milk Soft Serve started it all. She created a unique product that quickly became popular. The Cereal Milk flavor is both sweet and salty, and it's definitely yummy! 

They have three kinds of soft serve. Their famous Cereal Milk, and the new Birthday Cake Latte and Birthday Cake Latte Sundae. I got the BD Cake Latte flavor. It tasted like a really good cup of coffee, but sweetened with a cake flavor. It was also a little salty, which I enjoyed. The servings are pretty big, and perfect for two people. 

We also purchased three cookies. Two Confetti cookies and one Double Chocolate one. We bought the Birthday Cake truffles, too. These were really rich and packed a punch of sweetness. They don't look like they'd be rich, but bite into one and you'll see. I could only have about one bite, before I felt a sugar overload. And lastly, we got to try the Milk Bar Pie. These are sold by the slice. They have a brown sugar oat cookie crust and the filling is basically butter. This pie is incredible. They also sell their cakes by the whole cake and by the slice. I love their Birthday Cake. The frosting tastes so good and the cake itself is soft and sweet. 

I'm a big fan of Milk Bar because I have a sweet tooth. I like my desserts on the rich side. A lot of people don't like things too sweet, so they don't usually enjoy Milk Bar's treats. But if you're a soft serve fan and you like cake with lots of frosting, you'd enjoy Milk Bar! 




Whole cakes, cake slices, pie slices, and Birthday Truffles! 

The really tasty pie and cute packaging. 

So many different kinds of cookies! 

My Birthday Cake Latte soft serve. I loved the coffee flavor! 

Back at home with the goods.
