There's No Place Like Home!

Last weekend my best friends and I made an appearance at the one and only Loft in downtown Edmonds. Although I have to say we weren't there for their actual Happy Hour, the dessert, wine, and atmosphere is worth writing about.


Nestled along main street, The Loft Cafe and Social Lounge is a tiny little spot with, you guessed it, a unique loft area as well as a fun outdoor patio for some killer dance parties in the summer time!

Being one of the wonderful 20 degree November nights we have had this summer, we sat upstairs and enjoyed a glass of wine and split a few desserts.


By the looks of the plates, the chocolate cake and salted caramel ice cream sundaes were to die for!

The loft has such a unique atmosphere, lit by candlelight and dimmed chandeliers. A small neighborhood joint where you are sure to run into someone you know. A great Happy Hour as well with salads, small plates, and tons of drink specials!

So happy to be home for the holidays and visiting my favorite locals spots again with my fabulous friends!

Cheesecake? YUM YUM YUM

Ok, I know I have been super lame. It has been over a month since my last blog post and after everyone has continued to ask me when the next one would come, I finally gave in and went to Happy Hour last Thursday. No really, the truth is that I just haven't had time, but I have made it my goal to stay more on top of it!

Last Thursday I went to Happy Hour at Cheesecake Factory before heading over to the Paramount theater to see STOMP with Jeff, (which by the way was amazing!) We were just going for dinner but then when a table appeared at the bar and Happy Hour was on for another 20 minutes, it was calling our name!



They had so many specialty drinks for $5. I had J.W.'s Pink Lemonade which is a blend of citrus vodka, raspberry liquor, and fresh lemonade. Yes, it is as good as it sounds. Whoever J.W. is, you're a winner! Oh, and I forgot to mention that like all of their food, they don't cut you off on the portions. It was huge!

When it was time to order food, Jeff and I both order entrees from the menu without realizing that they had small plates in the bar, (which I would have much rather had).

Maybe it was just my blonde self not able to fully look through the menu, but my suggestion would be to maybe not stick the small plate options all the way on the back of the menu Cheesecake? Oh well, they all did look delicious so I am sure I will be back again in the near future to try some of them!

I am so happy to be back on Rainy Day Lemon Drop! Ask me to go out for Happy Hour so more posts can come your way soon!
