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 Bright Spot for Soft Serve

 

An Orange Creamsicle soft serve in a cone to match, from Bright Spot in Seattle's Mount Baker neighborhood. 


Summertime is the perfect time to visit new ice cream shops! Bright Spot serves vegan soft serve and we couldn't wait to check it out. I went with my family to try a cone. On their ice cream menu were three flavors-Vanilla, Chocolate, and Orange Creamsicle. I chose a swirl of Vanilla and Orange Creamsicle. They also had three pretty cones to choose from. A pink cone which was Vanilla, an orange one (Orange Creamsicle), and blue (Salted Caramel). You can also get cute sprinkles on top! They also have kid's size ice cream. My sons also tried the Orange Creamsicle flavor and cone. 

At Bright Spot they also serve espresso, sandwiches including breakfast sandwiches, teas, and pastries. Their shop is so pretty and bright. The staff was also really friendly. But how was the soft serve? We loved how soft the texture was! But the flavor was our favorite part. The Orange Creamsicle was sweet and nostalgic tasting. I have memories as a kid in the summer eating Orange Creamsicles for an afternoon treat, and this ice cream and cone flavor brought those memories back. 

Bright Spot is a solid ice cream addition to Seattle. I can add this place to my list of spots I'd recommend for soft serve ice cream!
