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...

Three Spots for snacks in Leavenworth, WA

 

A Dole Whip from Coned Bros. in Leavenworth. 


There are plenty of food adventures to be found in Leavenworth, WA! You won't go hungry in this fun, Bavarian-themed town, two hours east of Seattle. While visiting we tried some unique snacks, traditional German cookies, and even some refreshing boba tea. 

At Bubble Fish Bubble Tea, you'll find many flavors of traditional Taiwanese bubble tea. I decided on some Brown Sugar Milk Tea with tapioca. The tapioca was cooked well, with just the right texture- not too hard and not too soft. The drink itself was on the sweet side, which I prefer in a bubble tea drink. 




On my last visit to Leavenworth three years ago I tried a cookie from the Gingerbread Factory. This dessert shop has an adorable Christmas theme, and their cookies are unforgettable. They're not only beautifully made, but they taste so soft and freshly baked. This time I bought a chocolate heart-shaped cookie with a gorgeous raspberry jam center. This bakery is worth a visit every time one goes to Leavenworth! 




Looking for unique and delicious snacks and treats? Look no further than Coned Bros. They have both sweet treats like Churros and Dole Whips, and savory eats like pizzas served in cones. Yum! I'm still thinking about how good that Cheese Pizza Cone tasted. We ordered a Dole Whip and a kid's size pizza cone. The Dole Whip hit the spot after riding the alpine coaster at Leavenworth Adventure Park. I didn't expect the pizza cone to hit so hard, either. It was just so cheesy. And around here, we like things cheesy. They have a big patio and plenty of seating inside.
