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 Pink Champagne Cupcake to end 2023 on a sweet, celebratory note! This cupcake had raspberry filling and the cake was really moist.

One of the best spots in Seattle for a classic slice of cake is Deep Sea Sugar and Salt. They recently moved into a bigger space on Airport Way, S in Georgetown. They used to be located in a cute, green house in Georgetown on Carleton Ave, S. I was excited to see their new store. When they get their liquor license, they'll have champagne by the glass. But for now, you can get cupcakes, slices, and order whole cakes.

I visited their former location twice, and both times the cake blew me away. Their slices are huge, perfect for sharing. The cakes are very tall and layered, and the flavors are unique to boot. This time I tried a slice of the Chocolate Blackout cake and a Pink Champagne cupcake. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so this cupcake was just the thing! Not only was it so pretty and pink, but it had a raspberry filling that was scrumptious. The chocolate cake was so rich and decadent, with so many layers. The cake was super soft and had a deep chocolate flavor. The frosting was suburb, and very rich!
