We unexpectedly found ourselves in Grand Junction for a couple of days and were looking for something fun for the kids to do. They chose the Candle Kitchen and had a great time smelling all the smells and creating their own scent. Ben was super patient as he walked them through the process. We had a great time chatting with Kathie and discovered that she grew up in the area where we're from. Overall, it was lovely experience and the kids walked away with some great smelling candles! read more

Did this as a family activity. We had a great time. Great selection and workers were friendly and helpful. Very pleased with the smell and length of burn on our candles. It's a quick process and that was the only drawback. A touch expensive for such a quick activity. But I guess worth it bc we have enjoyed our candles for a long time! read more

It was so amazing. We came a little late so they stayed open for us. You smell so good coming out. It's really easy and fun to do. I would recommend it 100%. They have so cute sense and cute jars to put your candle in you can make your own label and it makes it so cute. The ladies in there are so nice. read more

My mom and I wandered in not knowing what it was, and ended up staying to make a candle! We had the absolute best time and the wonderful ladies working at the store were amazing! So sweet and they helped us make our scent perfect. This was such a unique and fun experience! And the candles we took home are stunning. Thank you so much, we loved it!! read more

What a darling little shop! Looking for something fun and unique? Try The Candle Kitchen. Our Book Club went there and it was fantastic! What's the deal? * Grab a clipboard and pen. Smell the different scents (look to be over 50 different kinds). Write down your favorite. * Pick a container to make your candle in. They vary in size and price. * Grab a stool at the counter. Tell the Candle Kitchen specialist your top three or so favorite scents. * You'll smell your favorites together to find your favorite scent combination. You may be surprised what smells great together. * Add the scented oils a little at a time to the shot jigger. Mix the oils until the jigger is full. * The Candle Kitchen specialist will pour the hot wax into the container and you pour your "shot" of oil into the wax and stir. * Pay and pick your candle up later in the day or the next day. This place is neat and offers a different type of experience for someone looking for something to do. Great for dates, mom/daughter/son dates, parties (I booked my daughter's birthday party here!), and groups. There is a private room in the back for groups. The counter seats about 10 people. There are a large variety of scents, from fruity to flowery to clean to manly! The prices seem reasonable and comparable to paint your own places. Great for gifts, too! Make someone a candle or give them an empty gift Candle Kitchen jar so they can enjoy making their own. I'm keeping mine! And you can bring back your old Candle Kitchen jar to make another candle ($1.00 off)! read more

This place is so cute and so fun!!! A few of us moms and daughters went for a small birthday party and it was just perfect. The staff was sweet and helpful and very patient. Our 5-6 year old girls had an absolute blast. Also, there are so many smells!!! read more

What a fun experience and friendly staff! Five of us went (4 adults, 1 kiddo), and we all enjoyed finding our own scent combinations to create the perfect candle! The candles burn beautifully and provide the perfect amount of scent to a room. There are so many scent choices: nature, tropical, woodsy, floral, food, drinks, seasonal- almost endless. My husband mixed lime, agave and mint to create a mojito scent. There are unique ones like "old books" and "straight razor" that can be nostalgic. Ideal for keeping and for giving, and I'm looking forward to going back! read more

We had my daughter's 12th birthday party here and it was such a wonderful time. The girls had so much fun creating their very own scents. The staff was so kind and patient with 10 middle schoolers on a busy Saturday afternoon. I can't wait to go back and make a candle of my own. read more

Thank you Candle Kitchen for holding a benefit for Grand Valley Pets Alive! What a fun experience. I made one candle for me, and 2 for gifts. Love blending to get my own signature scents. Three of us went together, and came up with quite different candles. Treat yourself! read more
