Red Pine Cafe

This was exactly what I was hungry for. We tried 3 of the 4 proteins. They were all very good. Even tried the gochu sauce. It's got a little kick but pairs well with the bowl. We will be coming back.

I love everything about Red Pine. The food is delicious and for everyone, an inclusive and simple menu makes it an easy place to enjoy. I love that everything except the meat is vegan, including the kimchi!

The owner Derick is so dedicated and takes the time to get to know his customers. It’s an amazing, crave worthy restaurant and I love it!

This restaurant is great! All of the ingredients are tasty and fresh. You really get your money's worth; the portions are large and filling. Make sure to order their cheesy corn, it's delicious! 😋 Their Kimchi is tasty as well. All of the different ingredients taste so good as the flavors blend together. I ordered a strawberry lavender drink that was very refreshing and not too sweet. The owner is very outgoing and friendly. I'll definitely be back! Pictured is a bowl with brown rice, chicken, cheesy corn, and all the veggies and toppings.

A Bowl of Heaven at Red Pine Café!

Oh, Red Pine Café, where have you been all my life? Oh, that's right, you just opened a couple weeks ago (what took you so long, Derick?!).

This place is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise in the world. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I knew I was in for a treat.

Let's start with the star of the show: The rice bowls. They are like a symphony of flavors dancing in perfect harmony on my taste buds. Each grain of rice is cooked to perfection, and the proteins are tender, juicy, and packed with mouthwatering goodness. The veggies are so fresh and vibrant, they make me feel like I'm doing something good for my body while indulging in pure deliciousness.

But it's not just the ingredients that make Red Pine Café shine—it's the love and care that goes into every dish. You can tell that the team behind the scenes is passionate about what they do. They craft each bowl with precision and attention to detail, resulting in a culinary masterpiece that leaves you craving more.

The atmosphere of the café is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a quick lunch or bowl to go. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to recommend the perfect combination of flavors to satisfy your cravings. Whether you're a meat lover, a vegetarian, or somewhere in between, they have options that cater to all tastes and dietary preferences.

Red Pine Café has truly mastered the art of creating a balanced, wholesome, and satisfying meal. It's the kind of place where you can go in feeling hungry and leave feeling nourished, both in body and in spirit.

So, if you're looking for a dining experience that combines quality ingredients, creative flavors, and a touch of hand-made magic, look no further than Red Pine Café. Prepare to be blown away by the rice bowls that redefine what a satisfying meal should be. Trust me, once you try it, you'll be hooked—and your taste buds (friends you eat with, get it?) will thank you! And your stomach. I came STARVING and couldn't finish my bowl. I think it's roughly 2 pounds of delicious, comforting (yet healthy), food.

Five stars, hands down. We'll definitely be back.

Elite Tips: Ask for the cheese corn, get extra Kimchi (HE MAKES IT HIMSELF!), and try the pickles. I'll be buying jars of the Kimchi whenever I'm close. The Gochu sauce is unlike any I've had, too. He doctors it up (Dr. Derick?) to perfection with spice and flavor, not boring like most. Also, chat with him, if he's free. Great stories about his life, cooking and Temecula.

My kids, and I stopped today for lunch. We are all vegan, and the bowls were FANTASTIC!!!!! Absolutely loved it! My daughter said the kimchi (also vegan) is some of the best ever!!! The owner is super nice too!
