Rare for the Man to pay enough attention on food he ate and remembered enough to recommend to me. The Red Velvet Cake from Dutch Colony Coffee was an example of such a rare occasion that we had to go back again so I could try.
As you can see, the cake is not the typical red-food-dye-super-red cake. Instead, it was leaning between a brown and maroon shade. Taste-wise the cocoa was definitely present, and overall not too sweet. The thin layer of cream cheese frosting was just sufficient to sweeten and not overload.
The coffee was pretty decent.
On another occasion, I wanted coffee and he wanted cake, no, make that two. Peanut butter chocolate cake was much too moist and stodgey, and the lemon pound cake was very average, a bit dry on the sides that didn't get a soaking of syrup.

I love the pretty cupcake plate though. Nice thought to use unusual serving ware :)
