Fantastic - Edit
All of the excellent reviews are no joke! Non-vegans took my husband and I here (visiting from out of town) as a celebratory dinner and everything was so, so good. I would go back for the asparagus alone!

Wow!!! - Edit
We were blown away by the experience. The cafe is run by the former chefs of the highly acclaimed Candle 79 and Candle Cafe, and it truly shows in the quality of the food and service.
Read moreThe ambiance of the cafe is warm and inviting, with a modern yet cozy feel. The menu is diverse, from delicious vegan lunch options to gourmet dinner salads and entrees. The Grilled Artichokes for an appetizer was fabulous. The standout entree dishes were the SEITAN PICATTA, which was off the chart with flavor, and the WILD MUSHROOM CREPE that was packed with a very nice balance of flavor and texture.
The service was top-notch, with the staff being knowledgeable about the menu and providing excellent recommendations.
Five stars PLUS all around!!!!

They’re back!!! - Edit
I was crushed when Candle 79, Candle Cafe West and Candle Cafe closed because of the pandemic. But now they’re back in this new location in Gramercy! The menu is exquisite, their desserts are to die for, and the entire staff, especially Chef and owner Jorge, are absolutely fantastic. This has always been and always will be the highest quality of vegan food in Manhattan. Everything is so fresh and made with such care. Can’t wait to go back again and again!!

Still Fabulous - Edit
So thrilling that this remarkable restaurant is resurrected. If you've been missing Candle 79 and Candle Café, rejoice. I found the preliminary menu at https://candlecafe.nyc/menu and placed a pickup order via phone. There is a huge variety of delicious dishes to choose from and the staff seems friendly and helpful.
