Caffe Bene

Red Velvet Latte
Caffe Bene in New York
 
  • Cake: This latte tastes like the cherry ice cream dip from Dairy Queen or Mister Softee. Definite sweet, slight cherry taste, and no cocoa at all. 
  • Frosting: Nothing to compare to frosting.
  • Coloring: Pink and white
  • Consistency: Creamy and foamy.
  • Additional Comments: Well, we have no idea what this is or why the called it red velvet (other than it's red), but it's actually pretty good if you're a fan of the cherry dip. It's just a sweet treat for a cold winter's day, but definitely not for a serious red velvet fiend who is looking for that perfect red velvet...latte...

~We give this latte 2.5 out of 5 stars~

Red Velvet Waffle
Caffe Bene in New York
 
  • Cake: Hot and sweet, but definitely a plain vanilla waffle with no cocoa added.
  • Frosting: Powdered sugar, which is always a nice accompaniment.
  • Coloring: Medium to deep red
  • Consistency: Rather weird actually. It was nice and super crispy on the outside, and deliciously soft on the inside, but then there were these giant sugar crystals. We're talking clumps of sugar around the size of a small caper. It was rather alarming to bite into these at first before we could figure out what they were. We wound up picking them out.
  • Additional Comments: Definitely falls flat in the world of red velvet waffles.
