I hadn't until I was lucky enough to find Havana Sweets.

They're a Cuban bake shop that pops up every Sunday in

this gorgeous plant store called Peace Love and Happiness Club.

You have to try the authentic Cuban coffee. I get the cortadito

There is a lot of coffee competition in Seattle,

Next, I'd recommend grabbing some pastelitos

you're only a couple blocks away from the water where

you can find a nice spot to enjoy your treats.

I got a cheese and guava pastry plus this unreal dulce de leche

pound cake. It was the perfect afternoon pick me up.

and I'm obsessed with this luxury B&B we stayed at.

Domain Madeliene is one of the original luxury B&Bs in Port Angeles.

We spent two nights in the River Elva suite,

The patio opened up to the enchanting view overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca

It's only about 10 miles from the Olympic National Park Visitor Center,

which makes it a perfect base for exploring the park's beauty.

Here's your plan for an unheated vinyasa flow yoga session followed by a blueberry matcha treat. Watch the video 👇

Start off your weekend with an unheated Vinyasa flow in the Sweatbox Loft in Capitol Hill before treating yourself to a 🫐 blueberry 🫐 matcha! 

Vinyasa flow 🧘 + matcha 🍵 in Cap Hill

Join an unheated Saturday morning vinyasa yoga class in the Sweatbox Loft, perfect for all levels and known for its creative, welcoming flow.

Vinyasa yoga class

✅ Before you go
• The class mentioned in the video is Kelly Fulford’s unheated Saturday morning vinyasa class at 11:00.
• A single class is $28, but you can get a 2 week trial for $55! They also offer weekly, monthly and annual passes. https://www.sweatboxyoga.com
• The Loft door is accessible via code. You’ll get texted the code after you book your session, but the code is also listed on the door — it’s the last 4 digits of their phone number! 

💪 Pro tips
• There is often plenty of street parking on the east side of Cal Anderson park (about 2 blocks from the studio).
•  I also enjoy Jess Klein’s heated vinyasa class. If you decide to take a heated class from Sweatbox, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IT IS VERY VERY HOT! A DRYP heated class, for instance, feels cool compared to a Sweatbox heated vinyasa — please be prepared, rest when you need to and bring lots of water! 


Head to Sweatbox

but I also go to Sweatbox Yoga in Capitol Hill.

there is a door in your loft with a keypad,

Y'all know that I love Kelly Fulford's class over at DRYP,

so I basically followed her over to Sweatbox to take her Saturday morning vinyasa.

so I recommend getting there early to get a prime spot.

I personally like to be at the front because I don't like looking at

And I really like this class because it's more

of a creative flow and perfect for all levels.

Just a couple blocks away is Anchorhead Coffee where I get a blueberry matcha.

but it also kind of tastes like a Froot Loop,

But this is such a treat to get after yoga.

Pizza & Cocktails at Rocco’s

This pizza was so big it tried to be a third wheel on a date night.

Last Friday we explored Rocco's on 2nd Avenue.

It turned out to be the kind of place with low lighting,

and the smell of garlic and melted cheese in the air.

we had the cheesy garlic herb focaccia with marinara sauce.

It raised our expectations for the pizza to be even more satisfying,

Our half jalapeno face and half tikka tikka pizza arrived,

The chicken tikka hit all the right notes for Indian taste buds,

while the jalapeno face with all the cream cheese bread

crumbs really took the pizza to the next level.

shared laughed and the quiet magic of discovering Seattle

together one Friday date night at a time.
