Ive been eyeing their weekend-only Filipino brunch for the longest time. This place did not disappoint! My friend and I got The Bonifacio silog (Filipino breakfast), and the Adobo & Ube Waffle. The Bonifacio was THE BEST. Lots of flavor, decent sized portion, and the meats in the dish were so tender and flavorful. My favorite part of the dish was also the accompanying arroz caldo (rice porridge/congee). Again, it was full of flavor and its THEE best congees you can find in Columbus. The Adobo & Ube Waffle was their twist on chicken and waffles. Ube means taro and this waffle was just jam-packed with taros distinct flavor, and came with coconut-carmel-jam as well as butter. I was absolutely pleased with their brunch and can see myself coming back multiple times!

Absolutely fantastic café and Filipino restaurant! The Ube cupcakes are always a pleasure and if you can get the lemon ones, you got to jump on them! The rice bowls and Lechon Paksiw Panini come highly recommended. what I also appreciate is the fact the prices are reasonable, its hard sometimes to get a good meal at a decent price, however they totally take the cake as far as that goes. The customer service here is also excellent. The workers smile a ton and the overall vibe of the place is relaxing and inviting. One more thing, the Vietnamese coffee is fantastic too.

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 wasnt selling very well so the owner doesnt 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 dont they use glasses and mugs?!!

Everything is great about this place. Love their vanilla cupcakes and hot chocolate. Today I bought their salad with chicken and a banana bread muffin. I thought the salad would be like any old salad. NO WAY! I could immediately smell the greens and the dressing and it smelled delicious! Definitely one of the best salads Ive had in quite a while. Plus the banana nut muffin was FREAKIN AMAZING!

Me and a friend were here this past weekend. The service was poor as we were not greeted or assisted in ordering. It seemed as if we were being rushed out and pushed to order. It also took a long time to receive our cupcakes and my friends coffee order was wrong and was not corrected. Our drinks were also mediocre. We will not be returning.

This is the place if youre looking for innovative espresso or tea drinks and Filipino-influenced baked goods and light fare. Unfortunately, parking is metered or at a lot, though rarely unavailable. The cafe is on the right side of 4th street, just north of main st, youll want to pay attention or youll drive past it.

I used to love this place. The chicken and waffles were great. Notice I said were. The last two times I was here they had run out, and now theyre not serving them anymore. No more brunch. I would drive 20 minutes to come here just for the C&W. Very disappointed.

I love walking into a new place, not knowing what I want or even where to start, and the person helping gives me a suggestion! My drink was fantastic and service was great. The space is very unique and fits in perfectly in the area. I will definitely be back!

Bubble tea is yummy! Try the green tea with fresh fruit flavors like honeydew, passion fruit, etc. Milk teas were not quite as tasty. Cupcakes were good with nice frosting and not too sweet. Sign is difficult to spot from road. Its block before the Holiday Inn.

Heard about this place from a colleague shortly after moving to Columbus in January. The food is great, right along with the prices. Id choose the Red Velvet Cafe any day for brunch over any of the other, more popular, chain restaurants.

The lunch sandwiches here are delicious and priced pretty reasonably. They have seasonal drinks and do a fantastic job of making everything on their drink menu. The wait is occasionally a little long, but the drinks are always worth it.

Had a great tasting cappuccino, which came in an actual China cup. The guy at the counter was really friendly, brought the cup all the way to the table I was sitting at and the milk foam was added in a fancy way (see picture)

I love their cupcakes, and my friend Rae and I always go together. Ill get a cupcake or two and shell get the same with an added bubble tea. I highly recommend their oreo, mint chocolate, and buckeye cupcakes. Deeeelicious~

Stopped in for breakfast. The vegetarian grilled panini was awesome. The cheese and bread had really good flavor. I also had an iced Spanish latte which is a latte sweetened with sweetened condensed milk. It was excellent.

Stopped here because of a layover at the Greyhound. I had the Chicken Adobo, Thai Tea, and vanilla cupcake. Everything was amazing. I will be back on my next trip through Columbus.

Really cute little cafe with excellent tasting food and coffee options! They serve one line coffee and make some amazing baked goods. One of the best iced coffees for summertime!

During the day, they werent busy and the staff was occupied with something in the back. They never came to the front to see if we wanted to order. Very disappointed.

This place is really cute, and the coffee is okay. But compared with the competition, I wasnt impressed. I also got ticked because theres very little parking.

First shop Ive been to that has Turkish coffee. The cupcakes are excellent, coffee is provided by One Line, and they have a nice variety of drinks.

Decent coffee and atmosphere. Steep prices and no refills to-go. Want to support local but tough to go that far past typical coffee shops to support.

The drink were very well made, but the seating was a little cramped and awkward for us. Cozier seating and round tables would do wonders.

The watermelon smoothie and Thai iced tea are delicious. I got the the pork belly bowl two days ago and cant quit thinking about it!

Very friendly and engaging service. The coffee was rich with generous portion and the Poached eggs and toast were cooked perfectly.

Cozy place for a conversation with friends, but the Turkish coffee was not good at all - too sweet and not traditional.

The drinks were very good. Prices are reasonable. I did find the cupcakes to be a bit too sweet for me.
