No. It's a NO. I've been here twice with my mom. The first time, we had a good experience. We…read morehappened to drive by and stopped on a whim. We were given some options for limpias and consultations and such but not pushy and no pressure which made us feel comfortable coming back a second time. What a mistake! We walked in and the door was wide open. No one was around. We walked and looked at the many candles and oils and incense they have. They do have a large selection. A man came out of a back room and told us to have a seat. I said I was okay, and continued looking around. A minute later he said again to sit and my mom sat but I didn't. He asked how he could help her and she said she needed help looking for work. He then turned to me and asked if I was with her. My mom replied that yes, I am her daughter. He then directs her to the back room. She asked if I could come with her and he said no, the room was "too small". I had the nastiest gut feeling that something bad was going to happen but I waited in the main store while she went back for her consultation. My fear grew stronger and stronger as the man keep walking back and forth (the door was see through) and I finally went with my gut and went into the back to check on my mom. I called out for her and found her covered in a white sheet, completely. She said she was okay and wanted to finish because she had already started. I told her she was getting hustled. Her purse was in another separate room and there was a second guy walking around the store. The first person was clanging pots and pans and surrounding her with alcohol and fire. They could have easily gone through her belongings and I really don't see why I couldn't have been there to support and protect her. The back room was HUGE! Long story short. She finished the limpia and he wanted 500. She said she only had 300. He told her to use the atm at the front but it would only let her take $40 out max. He said to go to another machine and bring him the money and as we were about to leave he said, nevermind zelle it. She did unfortunately. Then he asked her to bring him a photo of herself. Since this was a two part limpia it's safe to say we will NOT be returning and after reading reviews it's better that she lost only 300 instead thousands. I would NOT recommend this place. Lots of red flags and bad vibes. I wonder why we had a good experience last time and such a horrible one this time. Very pushy. And the guy was so rude. Trying to take photos of me. Creepy. Tense. Literally wouldn't look at me or talk to me. If you know you aren't running a scam, wouldn't you want to ease your clients or explain everything is okay to calm everyone's nerves. Overall. They just want your money. Don't go here. Please.

What endears me to this shop is that it is housed in what used to be part of an old machine shop. It still has the original plaster and wood beams as well as old doorways for the upper levels of the old building. It just smells old and historic. You can't fake it. What I notice the most about this place is that it call itself a candle shop, but there's not many candles that are sold there. They sell LOTS of Dia de Los Muertos decorations, books, magnets, coffee mugs, post cards and other assorted items that are not candles. There is also an ofrenda that is up year-round. It is very beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I love this store and have bought many items from here. They also sell incense here. Here is where I leave with a slight headache because I cannot help myself and I HAVE to smell it all! If you are one of those people who are into the spiritual crystal guru thing, then this store is also for you as they sell a myriad of gems and necklaces. They take cash and card. I'm not sure if there are other payment forms like Apple Pay or Zelle accepted. I wanted to take pictures, but I didn't want to come off as someone who looked sketchy in their store! Give this cute little spot a try!
