Satellite Coffee

I’m sure you’ve been here its that gem located on Division and I…. you probably get caffeinated here daily if you don’t go to Blackwater. It’s small and can fit about 5 comfortably you won’t find 10 laptopheads sitting drinking drip all day instead it has more of a beehive feel. People in and People out. Why do I like Satellite Coffee? I’d say because there is no bullshit… I’m constantly annoyed by some of the coffee-flys at other coffeeshops but here at Satellite there is little of this If you enjoy good coffee give Satellite a try, they have sorta slow service because they are perfectionists but thats ok for me.

Whats in a Lavender L’amour Tacoma?

As necessities become more costly our entertainment budgets get smaller and smaller. One of my favorite drinks is the Lavender L’amour from the Monsoon Room. Anyone care to share the recipe as I can’t justify the cost of them anymore

Feel free to comment the recipe anonymously

Thanks!

The Hub, Tacoma

So its about 6:00pm here at the hub. You can smell the paint is still drying and this place looks amazing. They added divisions creating 3 or 4 little areas. This was key since it was the death of the St Helens Cafe. The bar can sit about 20 and there is an additional side bar that can sit 7. On tap they have all of the traditional harmon beers and for you hard-a types it looks like I see a bottle of jagermeister, whiskey, Kalua, and some other bottles I can’t read. They have a lot of staff too, just looking around I counted 15, wouldn’t be surprised if there were an additional five hiding in the back.

So far I’m extremely impressed. They have it all, food, beer, and wifi. Its not busy at all either if your worried about coming here because of the crowd don’t be there is lots of seating. (Night painting Chris Sharp)

Update: The Bartender rocks, he just denied some dude that just got out of jail that tried to use his county check to buy a few beers.

Top of Tacoma Bar soon to offer amazing food

A little dodo bird has come out of extinction and whispered that next door the Top of Tacoma bar is just about ready to open up an all ages food spot. The kitchen looks pretty amazing with all stainless steal appliances and a little hole in the wall to serve the bar.

This little dodo also mentioned that they will be offering a selection of soups, paninis, and more. Keep your eyes peeled since it is hoping to open before Christmas.

Tacoma Vegetarian Hookups

I’ve been a vegetarian for as long as I can remember.
Since someone asked in another part of the forum where a good place for a vegetarian breakfast was, I decided to recommend some places that I know of that cater to vegetarians. The key to living as a veggie, is that you must understand that not everybody wants to be one. so it’s to be expected that not every restaurant has veggie options per say, but they will gladly oblige you when you ask for no meat.

Sushi Revolution (Video+Pics)

Last night a couple of friends tipped us off to the grand opening of the newest sushi joint in town “Sushi Revolution.” Upon hearing that this is the type of place that involves a carosel and rediculous amounts of sushi up for human consumption, we were pretty excited.

Maritime Fest - Quick & Dirty Boat Building race video

My favorite part of the Maritime Fest is always the Quick & Dirty Boat Building Competition. Participants work on building their boat all day and then race at the end. This year a Canoe-like design won… it was pretty much a frame wrapped in plastic. Checkout the photos and video I only made it out as it was wrapping up so I look forward to seeing other peoples photos.

I know people are prob sick of this topic

I’ve now had about 5 hello cupcakes most of them chocolate. Everytime I have one it reminded me of something.. I just couldnt put my finger on it though. I’ve finally figured out what the chocolate frosting reminds me of. DUNKAROOS! Do you remember these things they were little gramcrackers shaped like kangaroos with a little area that you could “dunk” them into the chocolate frosting.

So How do you do your Hello Cupcake? I know Ive seen a few of you double fisting
