Candle Cafe is exclusively dedicated and commitment to excellent vegetarian cuisine. At this place inspired creations are comprised of a seasonal array of organic ingredients. By supporting organic farming and avoiding animal products, we acknowledge the interconnectedness of environmental, spiritual and physical well-being. We are delighted to nourish your body with delicious meals served in a vibrant and friendly atmosphere. We invite you to enjoy the good foods that come fresh from the farm to your table.

“Candle Cafe is not merely a vegetarian restaurant, but a vegan restaurant, meaning that nothing of animal origin is served. No milk, no eggs, no cheese. This means it must be extra creative. This welcoming health-conscious establishment specializes in locally grown, organic ingredients. Displays of fresh apples exude a delectable fragrance as you enter the long and narrow dining room with wood plank floors and stylish lighting.

Candle Cafe tries to accommodate people who have food allergies, and has many wheat-free dishes, like pumpkin pie made with barley and oat flour. It is perhaps a laudable achievement but not nearly so good as the apple crumb pie made with wheat flour.
