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.

A Visit to Drip Drip Coffeehouse

 

A Peppermint Candy Cane iced coffee from Drip Drip Coffeehouse in the Central District! 


For strong Vietnamese Coffee in Seattle, check out Drip Drip Coffeehouse. This cozy coffee shop located in the Central District, has unique flavors and you can even get a flight of them. For Christmastime they have holiday flavors. I tried the Peppermint Candy Cane. It came topped with candy cane foam and candy cane pieces. 

My coffee was strong. After about two sips I felt the caffeine already. Which was perfect since I was planning on making sugar cookies with my sons and decorating them later! I loved the flavor of the coffee mixed with the peppermint foam. It wasn't overly sweet yet tasted really creamy and satisfying! 

You can currently order a Holiday Coffee Flight with four coffees. The flavors are Toffee Nut, Salted Caramel, Cozy Smores, and Peppermint Candy Cane. The coffee shop was pretty packed when I visited and a lot of people were ordering the coffee flight. The interior was decorated for the holidays and looked so cute. 

The prices are steep for one coffee. Mine was $8.55 and I tipped $1.25. This is a special occasion coffee drink for me. The special occasion is we're really close to Christmas now and I've got to get all the peppermint consumed while I can!
