    a stack of wheatgrass juice

    Caribbean Vegan Paradise. Juice bar and Frozen Food section as well as Vegetarian products like veggie burgers, organic pastas. Super nice helpful staff and lots of street parking available. What calls me here is the excellent hot food takeout available with a changing variety of dishes, Ital stew, Eggplant melange, Pepper "steak", to name a few. Small, Medium and Large portions up to $11 in cost. Vegan desserts too!

    So I've been following a path to a new diet which led me to a vegan diet. After two months of cooking my own meals and buying stuff in the store, I needed to start venturing out and finding places that is close to my house to cook meals that are vegan friendly. I found a place close to my job via a friend who has been doing vegan diet for about five years now this place is amazing. To be honest with you I'm not accustomed to Caribbean or Jamaican Food but I was able to ask the server behind the counter which was what, as far as the hot food that was for lunch behind the glass. To my knowledge I had some curry pumpkin ,vegan ribs, rice and cabbage it was excellent the cabbage was a little hard but everything else was spot on. The vegan vegetable patty was amazing definitely going back there today.

    I really like this place - it's one of the few places that actually carries ackee patties. I LOVE ackee but usually I only find it on menus, coupled with saltfish. Ackee is quite expensive (I've seen 14oz cans of it go for $7 or $8!) so I think that is what deters restaurants from serving it and customers from buying it. The ackee patties here run $3.50, which is significantly more expensive than the $2 callaloo, peas, tofu, or other patties, but I think they are worth it. I also had some food from the hot bar last time and it was pretty similar to the hot bars in all the Bronx Jamaican places - curried tofu, lots of faux meats, white pasta (similar to Chinese lo mein), and rice. I went with the BBQ tofu, which was good, the potato salad, which was also really good (so glad they have a vegan, mayo-based salad), and the eggplant, which was okay. The store is pretty well stocked with all sorts of canned, packaged, and frozen foods, plus lots of teas, protein powers, and vitamins. Like most small health food stores, the prices are a little high but it's the only option in the area so I am very glad they are here and offer so many items. NOTE: There is no dining area. You can only get your food to go.

    Vegan whole grain porridge!!!   Love that you can choose between sweet or unsweetened and even half and half

    Block of breaded/fried tofu $2.25 Vegan Veggie Fritter Patty $1.10 Small Vegan Whole Grain Porridge $3.75 WHAT?!!! When do vegans EVER find prices this affordable!m?!! This place is a gem! They are very patient, efficient and kind! The porridge was tasty. I was able to choose between sweetened , unsweetened and "half and half". The small is filling! The block of breaded/fried tofu is perfectly seasoned. I ate it PLAIN and was blown away by how flavorful it was without any sauce or other additives!!! The fritter was a nice light, spicy kick. Not greasy or oily and very tasty too! A light crunch and little chewiness. Perfect balance! I am sitting here satisfied and delighted! The place was packed at 10:30am so I will take a leap and guess that if you get there in the later afternoon you may miss out! It seems they also change up their menu daily. Can't wait to eat here again!

    I was in Colorado for a while and got exposed to vegan food so when I came back to The Bronx I was in search for vegan spot to raid and to my surprise I found one not too far from my house the food was amazing I got the Curry seitan W/ stew lentils Brown rice and peas potato salad and dasheen also with a soy patty The second I bit into the Patty I knew I should've gotten more food The service is what you expect from older West Indians kind a snobby and rude but that's how you know the food is great all around

    First time here, & my first time trying tofu curry and it was sooo good ! And the lentils patties also definitely going back for some food and grocery

    This place is charming and totally unexpected in this neighborhood. Came in to kill some time before work one day and munched on their ackee patty and ordered a kale patty for later. They were really delicious and light yet filling. Most people come here for takeout but they have a small counter seating section by the window with an accessible outlet for charging devices and what not.

    If you want to take prescription meds, don't go here. This place provides herbal products for those who desire a healthier as alternative. The gentleman in this establishment really knows his stuff. I highly recommend you visit this place.

    Patties have no flavor. Close whenever they feel like it, prices are over the top for basic things you can buy at Trader Joe's

The flavor was good and everything was perfectly prepared. I also had the chocolate peanut butter bliss for dessert. It was one of the best desserts I've had. It's a double layer ganache and peanut butter mousse, topped with caramel sauce and strawberries served with cranberry sauce candied peanuts Candle still continues to stand the test of time. The original Candle 79 closed almost over a decade ago. A few years ago I discovered that Candle Cafe had still kept its doors open I've visited a few times for brunch and finally came back for lunch; I haven't made it for dinner yet and would gladly return.

The bartender Carlos makes you feel welcome as soon as you step in and gives you a thorough and honest walk through of the menu - Ambiance good for a semi casual meal - Not very crowded on a weekday lunch MENU - Global inspired shareable small plates and larger entrees - All vegetarian/vegan - Slightly pricey but portions are generous FOOD - Zaatar cauliflower (8/10): grilled cauliflower steak on a bed of tomato chickpea stew topped with a generous dollop of kale pesto and tahini. This dish sounded simple yet each component added a significant flavor and textural element. The cauliflower is tender enough to break with a fork with a crispy exterior from the grilled crust. The chickpea tomato stew is comforting and slightly spicy yet stays light and fresh. The kale pesto is earthy and bright and pairs well with the generous pour of tahini. The portion is good for one person as a lighter entree or can be shared as part of a larger spread. - Mexican brownie sundae (9/10): brownie topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate fudge, balsamic cherry reduction, and bananas. I was not planning to order dessert but I am so glad that I did. This dessert was the perfect blend of sweet, bitter, and acidic. The brownie is soft and fudgy and melts in your mouth as you take a bite. The ice cream is rich and lightly stuffed with vanilla flecks. The cherries add a strong tartness which contrasts the rich chocolate and sweet vanilla. Highly recommend getting a dessert at the end of your meal. WOULD I GO BACK? As much as I would want to, this place is sadly closing at the end of September 2026

If you didn't know, this is a Mexican restaurant with a full vegan menu. We shared a plate of plantain that came on a delicious later of black bean puree. We also got chips and mango salsa ... That's really a great salsa! For the main course, I decided to get the pescado and al pastor chicken tacos. I have never had the al pastor profile with 'chicken' before, so that was interesting. I enjoyed both tacos, and I think the al pastor was my favorite. I got the churros for the dessert, and the presentation was so cool, but I have to admit I did not love them. They tasted way too fried, if that makes sense. My sister got the chocolate chili tart ... It had stunning presentation, and ... It really was delicious! That would be my first choice next time. This place does brunch and has great cocktails as well. They are more on the expensive side and I would reserve them for special occasions, but I overall enjoyed everything. Highly recommend!
