Disappointing...I was to the Red Velvet Cafe with my ladies dinner group. It was a last minute decision since our original restaurant choice had closed. However, I had heard raving reviews and it was supposed to offer healthy food and (gasp) vegan meals.
I was disappointed to find out that the entrees offered were almost all meat-based or had cheese. Red Velvet prides itself with being healthy? For the Standard American DIner, offering baked chips instead of potatoes chips may cut it. I eat plant-based for my health. So for a healthy vegan, offering to swap out the meat with faux meat and dairy cheese with soy cheese is not healthy eating.
I ended up with a panini sandwich, where I asked for the cheese to be swapped with avocado. They were happy to accommodate the request without an extra charge. I also tried the tiramisu. By the all, all the desserts are vegan. It was more of a cake than the traditional tiramisu style. It had the right taste, but not the texture I was expecting.
I would return to Red Velvet for dessert and a cup of coffee, but I wouldn't return for a meal unless they offered more healthy plant-based entrees.
By the way, the meat eaters in the group all commented that their meals tasted great as well as the desserts they tried.
