The Birth of Candela
Candela is the child of a Venezuelan and an American—a marriage of two cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives brought together by a shared love for food, design, and life’s simple yet beautiful moments. It represents a harmonious blend of traditions, crafted with passion to welcome every guest like family.
From Field to Table: Crafted to Share
Starting with fresh-husked golden corn, Candela transforms simple natural ingredients into warm, handcrafted arepas. Rooted in Venezuelan tradition, we craft comforting meals that bring diverse cultures and community together at the same table.
A Table for All
Just like the arepa, Candela is for everyone. Whether you are craving authentic Venezuelan street food, vibrant fresh juices, or simply a warm place to gather in Station North, our doors and kitchen are open to all who walk through.
