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 Petit Pierre Bakery in Magnolia


A Dulcey Mango Petit Supreme Croissant from Petit Pierre Bakery. 

I didn't need to travel to Paris to find amazing pastries. I found some in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood at Petit Pierre Bakery. I was happily surprised by this cute and unassuming bakery. I walked in a couple of hours before they closed for the day, and their pastry cases were still full of fresh and eye-catching baked goods. 

Petit Pierre Bakery has two locations. One in Magnolia and the other in Greenwood. They opened in 2020 and sell both traditional and trendy pastries. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. We bought some chocolate macarons and chocolate croissants for the boys. My husband and I shared a Flat Croissant and a small Supreme Croissant. These are trendy pastries, and I couldn't wait to try them. I don't think you can find these anyway else in Seattle, so I was expecting them to be either sold out, or a line down the block for them. 

I chose a Strawberry flat croissant, and it was buttery, flakey, and crisp. I was so fun to try! The Dulcey Mango Petit Supreme Croissant blew us away in the taste and quality. They also had a giant Supreme Croissant that I'd love to try next time! 

When we were driving home, we stopped at a viewpoint in Magnolia to get some photos of the skyline with two cruise ships. It was fun exploring Magnolia and checking out a new bakery. A friend recommended Petit Pierre Bakery to me and I'm glad she did!
