Candle Cafe, Candle West and Candle 79 were fine-dining vegan restaurants in Manhattan, in New York City.[1][2][3]
Candle Cafe opened in 1994 as a juice bar and health food cafe, and was owned by Joy Pierson and Bart Potenza.[4][5] The Potenzas used $53,000 they won in the New York State Take Five lottery in 1993 to start the restaurant.[6]
Celebrities such as Woody Harrelson were known to frequent the restaurant.[1]
All three restaurants closed as of December 2020. However, a new Candle Cafe location reopened at 388 3rd Ave in March 2023.
