Founded in 1984, Candle Cafe is one of the leading vegan restaurants in New York City. Dedicated to bettering the health of their patrons and the planet, the restaurant was one of the very first doing farm-to-table, excluding the use of damaging pesticides or preservatives. Their organic, vegan cuisine is focused on sustainability, eco-friendly practices, local farming and compassion for all animals.

Luckily for all of us, it's also delicious. Since their humble beginnings nearly thirty years ago as a health food store, Candle Cafe has expanded to three locations in Manhattan: two on the Upper East Side and one on the Upper West.
