Eatin' Out 'N' About at Sweet Necessities ~ Enumclaw, WA

On a Tuesday Afternoon....
1215 Griffin Ave Enumclaw, WA 98022 360-802-5475

No web-site or on Facebook

This is one of those fab-to-die-for little gourmet chocolate places that you don't expect to find in a small town and we count ourselves lucky to live by!

The Hungry Housewives just finished lunch at Cafe Panini practically kitty-corner to here and decided to introduce our friend Dani to Sweet Necessities' amazing mochas (they use REAL FUDGE for the mocha flavor.  To DIE for.)

Though there is only one person in front of us, we have a little bit of a wait.  They are known for quality ...this is not fast food!  I feel a tad bad for the mom with the kid demanding ice cream behind us but not enough to let them go ahead because the others could be finished with their drinks before I'm seated.

The front counter is FILLED with the prettiest chocolates you'll ever see.  You wish you could buy everything!  Would make lovely gifts to give anybody.

While we wait, we look around and check everything out.  In the back is gourmet pastas, sauces, cards, kitchen gadgets, candy, and gifts.

My other fav thing about this shop is the tea-wall.  Before I worked (briefly) as a Barista, I was a tea only type of girl, and the selection here makes you curl your toys with happiness!

There are a few tables and chairs with cushions with complimentary newspapers to read but we opt to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.

It is one of our favorite places for that extra-special-treat (my husband and I went here after our last date) if you want something "good" or a candy stick for the kids.   While we were there, the place filled up with parents and their little ones (though if I'm with my 3 kids and we just want to cool off, my budget's a tad tight to pay almost $4 each for a single scoop ice cream).
Everything tasted yummy...it's a definite must-go!!

Shopping- City Perk Home and Garden Enumclaw, WA

The Hungry Housewives were out "shopping" yesterday and were able to pop into one of my favorite little stores.  This is a great little shop near the end of all the busy hub-bub on one of the main drags.

I think of this as a gift shop first (love the bird logo!) and a coffee shop second but apparently, their main focus is coffee judging by their web-site (which I really don't like the layout of).  There are TWO City Perks- one in Enumclaw and another in Maple Valley (that one has a drive-thru stand) which I didn't know about before.

I've had coffee here once but since I can't remember what it is like- it must have been a decent cup.  I love how the front of the store has these cute little bistro tables for customers to enjoy their drinks.  So cute in fact, one of THH with me tries to find a price tag to buy a set.

Oh- I would just love to have any of those clocks ;)

They have darling little baby clothes and items

Adore these!

oooh....those French signs on the left would look great in my house...

These little cupcakes would make good thank-you gifts

So if you are in the area, make sure to pop in also!  Tell them The Hungry Housewives sent you :D
