I arrived with companions, excited about the hype. I left dozens of dollars less wealthy, still hungry, and completely disappointed. We ordered a diverse selection from the menu, which is why I do not feel my opinion is biased - the drinks were bad, the most expensive dishes were either bland or blatantly bad, and the dessert was complete, and I mean complete crap. Nothing was as was presented on the menu - decadent, frappy or otherwise - and in light of the quality, THE PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS. The bit of food that was eaten, which I believe was a soup, was simply average. Simply put: this place would not be worth your time if the prices were half what they are. There are plenty of better vegan restaurants in new york; my suggestion is to give them a try.

The casserole - OH THAT CASSEROLE - the wraps, the apps, the sides... Where do I begin? You simply can NOT FAIL at Candle Cafe - where everything is fresh, wholesome and sooooo very tasty. It does get crowded on weekend nights and they will not take reservations for parties of 2 (only 3 or more) - so there can be a sizable wait - but it is WORTH IT!!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!
