I walked into this store quite by accident, because I didn't look through the many clear windows or…read moreeven at the store sign before I walked in. The many scents that hit my nose as soon I opened the door hit me hard, but in a good way! I, at first, thought I was in a soap store, Candlefish is at the north end of Ponce City Market close to the parking lot. It's a nice, open, bright space, with welcoming and friendly employees. After I realized that it was multiple various candle scents that I was smelling at the same time, a smiling employee came to me, and told me to let her know if I needed any help and if she could help me find anything. I told her that I was just looking. After picking up a variety of candles, such as mimosa, pina colada, Bloody Mary, and others, and smelling each of them, the candles started smelling similar. Not that they actually did smell similar, it's just that the scents throughout the store were just overwhelming me. This was my queue to leave. I will most likely be back to take a closer look at what Candlefish has. The store smelled really nice.

The concept of this location is absolutely brilliant. The candles do not have names but numbers…read more They do this so you do not have an opinion on a candle based on the ingredients. One thing I found very amazing is the fact that they have candle workshops, where you can make your own candles. They have over 100 scents you can choose from. If you love good smells you need to come here.

I visited about a week ago for my mother's birthday to participate in the candle-making class. The…read moreactual candle-making experience was enjoyable, and we had a great time during the class. At the end of the session, we were told the candles would take about two hours to set. However, we were also informed that they would be closed on Monday, so we stayed in contact throughout the week to coordinate a pickup. Unfortunately, we've attempted to pick up our candles on three separate occasions, and each time the business was closed. I also reached out via email and never received a response. After multiple attempts with no communication and no way to retrieve the candles we paid to make, the experience became very frustrating. While the class itself was fun, not receiving the finished product completely changed my overall impression. It felt very unprofessional and, honestly, a bit scammy. I hope they improve their communication and ensure customers can actually receive the products they've paid for

My cousin booked a candle-making event for her birthday the day before the 4th of July, and…read moreunfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations. From the moment I walked in, I had concerns. When we arrived, there was only one employee working. The lighting was very dim, there was little to no air conditioning, and although the music selection was good, it was much too loud. The appearance of the first staff member was not professional, and about 30 minutes later another employee arrived looking as though she had just woken up from a nap. Our candle-making class started late because the staff seemed disorganized. Several guests ordered food and drinks, and the drinks took an extremely long time to arrive. When I ordered food, no one informed me that I would have to wait until after the candle class was over to receive it. Ironically, the only food allowed in the room was food brought in from outside the establishment. During the class, the room was hot, dark, and even had a broken bar stool. The instructor often stood 5-6 feet away from the table and provided very little hands-on guidance. Most of the engagement came from the participants rather than the staff. There was little effort made to create an interactive or welcoming experience. One of the few highlights was the fish. Although I did not receive exactly what I ordered, it was fresh and tasted very

This is the first candle store I've been to that provides a listing of burn times based on the candle size. Some candles last 20 to 25 hours whereas some last 155 to 175 hours. That's helpful information for avid candle burners. Beyond just regular candles, they have candles with layers and chunks. Customers can also bring back candle jars purchased at Fayette Candle Factory to get refills for a lower price. That's great incentive considering the regular prices are very inexpensive. This place is awesome and they even play host to Candle parties in the metro area. For scents, candles and directions go to www.fayettecandlefactory.com.

I passed Grandma's Candle Shop a million times and thought why not stop in? Maybe they'll have a…read moreholiday clearance on some seasonal favorites. Nope, one peek and I quickly grabbed my phone (& holy oil.) It's a small store with the scent of incense wafting through the air. A stern looking lady (who was not my Grandma) stood watch over everyone. The first thing that struck me were the handwritten signs barking orders like, "Don't write numbers in these books. This isn't a library, books are for sale! No refunds. No mixing oils except Myrrh and Frankincense" etc. Ok... The candles clearly aren't being purchased for their beauty or fragrance. I was fascinated and a little scared. You can put roots on people and make them fall in love with you by burning a 'Come Back to Me' candle. 'Break Up' has the opposite effect. You can cast spells, get a miracle, rid your house of evil (Run Devil Run & Exorcist) and get Quick Money rich! There's also a Jinx Removing soap and Court Case shampoo. Prices range from $8 to $15. I asked the sales lady 1) if they were all the same candles in different bottles, 2) if "Grandma" made them and 3) if this was a voodoo/black magic shop. I mean the skull and cat shaped candles were a dead giveaway. The answer was no... And she clearly didn't know what the Pull Out candle was for. But she said she burned her Libra Zodiac and money candles. And you're still working??? She said they get a lot of African and Caribbean customers but it was empty. Probably because there were no Christmas specials (sad face.) There were gift sets. I left after I was caught snapping pics... In short, Grandma's is no Yankee Candle but if you're a witch or know what the High John Conqueror or Dragon Blood is for, it just might be your jam!
