Red Velvet Cafe

Tiny and cozy cafe in downtown Columbus. Paid parking available on street. Tried one of their fall drink which I haven’t seen anywhere earlier and I did not regret it. It’s called Horchata, which is a blend of Almonds, rice and Cinnamon. I got the one without espresso, it was creamy and delicious. Service was very friendly, helped me choose a drink. Good variations of cupcakes available! They look so adorable. Had enough carbs for the day, did not try one, will do it next time I’m here.

Most reviews talked about the pulled pork rice bowl so ta da! I got one! You get a WHOLE egg!! Sorry. I’m used to having to pay for half an egg or even a whole egg! Almost half the bowl is salad, which is awesome! Keeps me veggified. :D the pulled pork is flavorful and delicious with the white rice. A great combo. I didn’t try the cupcakes. The flavor selection looks like any other cupcake place (probable except taro...). But I will definitely come back and try their drinks! And maybe a cupcake! Staff was really nice. You get your own silverware and you put away your dirty dishes near the silverware.

One of my favorite coffee shops, ever. If you are looking for a place to get some work done, catch up with a friend or kill some time during a Greyhound layover, this is it. Plenty of outlets and fast wifi for completing work. The cupcakes are really good but the real star of the show is the rice bowls. I got the pork which was perfectly seasoned and, with the salad, egg, tomatoes, cucumbers and citrus-y infused vinegar had almost a umami flavor to it. It is a lot of food for the price and you can tell the ingredients are high quality. Can't recommend this place enough!

We were at their restaurant last night, and my friend asked the owner to make this ube cupcake with flan on top for her. I guess it wasn't selling very well so the owner doesn't usually make it anymore. We came to pick it up today. I think it was so good! The ube is not sweet at all, so it perfectly with flan. They were amazing! The owner is so nice and friendly! The guy who made coffee was very methodical. We ate there but they still gave us plastic and paper cups for our drinks :( I doubt that they recycle or compost them. Why don't they use glasses and mugs?!!
