okay the food as many have said is simply great , amazing , inspiring ! i have been coming here for the better part of 5 years . i have never had anything aweful here . i have found the wait staff for the most part to be polite and very helpful . maybe i got luck for 5 years!????? i think not . i thank the day i first walked in and ordered . it has changed my life . it inspired me to develop my own recipes using similar ingredients . they proved to me that yes it is possible , that i did'nt have to just chew on carrot sticks and eat leafy greens . my one and ONLY gripe is this . please pick up the phone if you are ready to accept take out orders . don't tell customer to call back in 15 minutes . you will definitely lose valuable business that way . instead ask what the order is and tell the customer that the order has been placed however it will go out at such a time ...get the point ? most people would be okay with that . if it is an order for pickup ( i called once 10 minutes early ) do not turn people away to call back in 10 minutes . speaking as someone who has worked in this city all his life , lunch breaks are way too short and we will order somewhere else . guess what ? you lost that money and possibly a customer , not me however i am extremely loyal . just some food for thought for the owners , if they are reading this . thank you .

I love candle cafe. They have the most delicious variety of foods. Everything that you taste is just exquisite. They use the freshest fruits and vegetables, all organic of course. I am not a vegan, but this restaurant really shows you that you can still eat delicious food thats enjoyable and delectable and it can be good for you. I would recommend any of their salads. I love their miso spread and their tuscan seitan parmesan sandwhich is to die for. I will be ordering from them for a very long time. I just have two warnings for you. #1 Make sure u alwasy order about an hour before u start getting hungry because delivery takes forever. I am assuming that of couse this is a result of them being extremely busy. #2 They charge $5 tip for deliviery so if they delivier to you, then you dont have to tip them. Don't get fooled like I did. Tip is included. But otherwise...enjoy!

Yes, 4 out of 5 times the service is going to suck. But 5 out of 5 times the food is going to be bombastic! It's a veggie's dream. The skewers are to die for!

do they not read their reviews? the service stinks both in the restaurant and on the phone. unbelievable.

The waitstaff is just plain rude and act as if you are putting them out by ordering. My dish was not good. I had the Ginger-Miso Stir Fry, and the flavor of the miso completely overpowered and ruined the dish. How this place charges $15 for a disgusting dish is beyond me. My dining partner had the special of the day, which was a curry/Indian inspired plate. The curry and chutney were good, but not worth the $18. Overall I was extremely disappointed.

Candle Cafe (and it's sister restaurant, Candle 79) are my absolute favorite restaurants. The food is DELICIOUS (and I am not a vegetarian my any means!) and the portions are very satisfying. The porcini crusted seitan is a winner any time, any day. A must try!

This place is great, both to order from and visit, though if its really busy it can feel a bit cramped. The food is delicious- there is a wide enough variety that non health food fans can find "acceptable" items to order and actually enjoy them. The chimichurri appetizer is a must. I own the cook book and use it all the time. You can ask for a gluten free menu too.
