Lonely Planet review for Candle Café

In a ’hood where quality veggie selections are hard to come by, Candle is a light at the end of a carnivorous cave – it’s sandwiched, in fact, between a popular steakhouse and a burger joint. Wealthy New Age types are the norm in this simple storefront, permeated by the constant, clean scent of wheatgrass due to the juice bar stationed up front. Offerings range from the most simple, such as ‘good food plates, ’ a custom-made spread of greens, roots, grains and soy-based protein, to the more complex concoctions, such as the beloved ‘paradise casserole, ’ a feast of layered sweet potatoes, black beans and millet topped with mushroom gravy. Celiacs should ask for the special gluten-free menu.

    Wonderful!

    popink recommends this,

    This is a must try!
    We had dinner prior to a show and could not believe the food. We are not vegan but went there because of a recommendation.
    Every bit of food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful.
    Delightful wine list. This will become our regular stop.

    Our waiter could have been a little warmer....
