Red velvet and Eastgate is a match made in heaven, be it cake, doughnuts or a frothy latte. During the month of love, spoil yourself (or someone you adore) with a confection of red velvet bites from our top restaurants and stores.
Finding red velvet cake at Eastgate is easy. Make your first stop at Harper’s Restaurant. This patisserie-meets-bistro greets its patrons with a decadent display of classic red velvet cake, topped with cream cheese icing. It’s the ideal cake slice to share with your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day!
If you prefer a single red velvet cupcake, pop into Starbucks at Eastgate. Paired with one of their gourmet-flavoured coffees, this is red velvet heaven. You can also sample a red velvet cupcake from the bakery at Checkers Hyper; we’re talking three layers of spongy red velvet cake layered with cream cheese icing, served in a handy portable cup.
Red velvet is also the perfect celebration cake, especially a Red Velvet Gateau from Woolworths Food Market. Or, spoil your guests with individual red velvet cupcake from a pack of nine. With hand-piped cream cheese icing and a red velvet crumb topping, Woolies has your party needs sorted.

Our next stop on the red velvet tasting journey at Eastgate is the Woolworths Cafe. Their menu features three super lattes, one of which is the Crimson Latte. Made from beetroot, micro-textured milk and coconut blossom sugar, this is a healthy take on a red velvet latte.
If you prefer to make your own latte at home or work, a box of Instant Red Velvet Latte sachets from Woolworths Food Market at Eastgate is your go-to buy. A delicious blend of cacao and beetroot, these individual sachets are the ideal feature in your pantry.
