We're looking for birthday sweets one late evening and returned to RFD in Santa Monica to see what else is available. It's slim pickings before closing time, but we found happiness with the Fauxstess Cupcake and Brownie Bowl.
The Fauxstess looked like the real thing. Pretty good imitation. My only reservations was that the cake was a bit dry and there wasn't much cream to be found. Again, maybe if we had one freshly prepared...
I loved the Brownie Bowl. I had no idea the scoops of ice cream would be so gigantic. We tried the carrot cake (recommended by waiter) which was weird and definitely didn't go with the brownie. It was sort of spicy and the consistency of the ice cream (made from rice and hemp milk) was grainy. The other ice cream flavor was mint chocolate chip which was excellent. It was refreshingly minty and creamy. We also ordered a scoop of chocolate ice cream, but it was left out. Seeing how large the scoops were, we're glad they did.
The brownie was perfectly moist and fudgy and I would say made the Brownie Bowl the best vegan dessert we had in L.A.
