STROOPWAFELS

Tacoma bakery Hopboom Bakery is supplying local sipping spots with Stroopwafels. Get excited to nibble on this Dutch waffle cookie highlighting rich, spiced caramel sandwiched between two thin waffle slices. It's recommended you place this baked good atop your piping hot beverage to allow the steam to soften the snack. Rumor has it Tacoma hangouts Blue Steele Coffee, Treos and Mad Hat Tea have them on hand. Get some.

SIP & SNACK

Metropolitan Market (2420 N. Proctor St., Tacoma) hosts many foodie-themed events including the occasional Sip & Snack, which will be held from 4-6 p.m. Friday, March 13. A team of wine stewards will hand select Washington wines paired with artisan cheeses for a free tasting event.

TACO TUESDAY

Two weeks ago Weekly Volcano foodie Jackie Fender came clean on 10 awesome tacos in Tacoma. Add Dirty Oscar's Annex (2309 Sixth Ave.) to the list. Their tacos rock, especially their Taco Tuesday $3 mahi mahi tacos and $5 jalapeno cilantro margarita deal.

KOMBUCHA CLASS

Bayview School of Cooking (516 W. Fourth Ave., Olympia) will host a kombucha-making class at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 19. Instructor and founder of Oly-Cultures, Julie Martin, will guide attendees through the layers of creative kombucha including teas and sugars used, the fermentation process and more. The $60 registration price includes instruction, samples, light nibbles and a starter kit to begin your kombucha adventure at home. Check out olycultures.com for more information.
