I got to experience Candle Cafe's new breakfast menu: Southwestern empanadas stuffed with tempeh chorizo, tofu scramble, spinach, red pepper, and vegan cheddar. Highly recommend for only $5. Also had cashew cream cheese with diced bell peppers "shmear" on my bagel, a blueberry muffin, and a coffee cake muffin to go. This could become a ritual!
My family and I ate here yesterday (two vegetarians and I'm vegan), we loved the food- we tried the southern plate and Beyond Burger, plus a small sweet potato pie for dessert. Lot of fantastic Vegan options, it was hard to pick just one! Service was great, price/ space were about what you would expect in NYC. Excellent vibe in general, clean, and they kept refilling our water which was awesome. They also have several cookbooks for their place- I will definitely be looking for one!
Hands down, best vegan restaurant I've ever been to. At first, I thought the menu was slightly pricy; turns out it was worth it. We got the quesadilla to share to start with -- that's some of the best vegan cheese I've come across. My dairy-eating dining companion said he couldn't tell the difference from real cow's cheese. We inhaled it. He got the lasagna, which was amazing. I got the mac n cheese burger with fries, and I can say it's the best burger I've ever had, vegan or non-vegan. Cheese was spot on, burger even tasted like a burger. Finished it all off with a chocolate mousse cake, and again, you couldn't even tell it was vegan. If you hadn't told me it was vegan, I never would have known. Came back again the next day and got the brownie sundae, which was yum. I'm only here in NYC for a couple days, but if I lived here, I'd be a regular.
Great choices of all vegan food. The wild mushroom salad is out of this world. The Avocado BLT so delicious comes with sweet potato fries. See pic. I would suggest to share many dishes. Our waiter was the best. Sorry I did not ask for your name but you showed us your favorites and they were delicious. Great service.
Came here for Brunch with a friend. Had delicious shakes with pancakes and "bacon, egg and cheese" sandwich. Food was great and hands down the best service we ever recieved. The Young lady was very impressionable and recommended helpful vegan tips.
Even though i am not vegan and i don't even like the idea so much, i loved the cauliflower buffalo wings. My wife got a lasagna and loved it.
Simple + quaint atmosphere. kind + seriously generous service. The food and fresh pressed juices are absolutely delicious. Overall a very holistic experience! Highly recommend — and if you go, you must order a juice.
Although staff didn't seem all "there", the place was amazing. Some of the best vegetarian/vegan food I've had. The vegan cheese on the mushroom burger was better than most real cheeses I've had and now I'm on the hunt to find where I can buy it myself. The carrot cake was super moist and tasted amazing. The cauliflower wing appetizer was great and the sauce that came with it was delicious. Drinks were phenomenal, too. Just go. Don't think about it. Just go and see for yourself.
They were nice enough to let us bring our puppy inside and out of the heat. Great service, amazing staff, food is AMAZING!!!! Will be back to try actual entree items because we just popped in for cake and a juice! But regardless, loved the atmosphere here and their service!!!!
