My favorite candle store in town. Smells great, lots of nice choices and a fun class to make your own candles.

What a cute little store! Don't let the name fool you, there are more than candles to be had here. This is a treasure trove of trendiness. Little planters, trinkets and posters are just a few of the purchasable goods found here. Obviously, they have a ton of candles with incredible scents, but you can also make your own with a candle-making workshop! This shop is worth a stop! read more

I am a huge candle lover. I think this place is nice and would make a cool date night. You can make your own candles so if you are looking for an option to take your partner. I recommend this place for a different type of date. You are able to smell the different candles. Candles range from $10 to $25 a piece. They also have candle burners, which range from $10 and $30 so you don't have to worry about lighting it and just have it sit on a plate and warm. I think it's creative compared to wax burners. They also have soap options, which I think is cool. The place is cute and nicely decorated. It's clean and I love the area to make your own candle. Overall: I will give this place 4 stars and I will be back. read more

disappointing! Came in an hour and 15 minutes before close and waited. 15 minutes before a team member could help. Then when we asked to make our own candles, the team member said there was no time to finish the candles and take them home that day. And there was no option to pick up tomorrow. when we checked the website, it was stated that the candles only needed 30 minutes to be made, and that they could be held for up to 30 days.The team member also had started cleaning up before we came in I don't know if that meant she just wanted to close early however either way very disappointed. Just wanted to take home something unique from this vacation. read more

This place is SO fun. The ultimate gift shop, Kalamazoo Candle offers fun goodies as well as great candles. I made my own candle while I was there (like I needed another one) and the experience was so fun. I definitely see myself going back to sample rotating scents and to try new products. read more

Store aesthetics are great and they have gorgeous scents -but unfortunately, the scents are very weak in strength. I live in a small place and actually typically have the problem of candles being too scented bc my rooms are so small. But I cannot smell these even when they're burning 3 feet away. I stopped back into the shop to inquire if others had this problem -or if it was possible I got a bad batch (even though I bought 2 separate scents), but the gal behind the counter said she'd never heard of this happening. It was after that I heard a similar complaint. Beetween the price of the candles and the lack of scent, I regret to say I will not purchase again. I will definitely check back in to see if any changes have been made bc again, the scents are divine! You just can't smell them unless you have your nose in the jar. read more

I love this place! They have a great selection of candles, and its really cool inside. The staff is super friendly, and they are more then helpful when you have any questions. But the best part is the candle making. It's a fun experience, and makes for a really cute date. You smell all the scents you can mix, pour it, add wax, and a wick. It doesn't take long, but you have to wait for the candle to dry, so you can explore the mall, or grab a drink. The friendly staff really made my experience great, and it's a unique experience that I can't wait to do again read more

My mom and I visited the Kalamazoo Candle company to make our own candles and we loved it! The directions were super easy to follow and there were SO many choices so you could make many different candle scents. This would be an awesome spot to take a group for a unique experience. Fair warning: the candles do take an hour to set so plan on spending an hour or so in the area, shopping or eating out. I've been burning my candle for about a week now and it smells great! Fills the room and lasts! read more

Not any ordinary candle shop! Here you can do more than just stop and smell the candles. I found out they actually have workshops where you can make your own. I am quite curious about making my own candle in a jar. I've made candles by dipping string into hot wax. But that way, we were not able to put our own scents into them. Everyone had to use their own bucket. I found out here that's not the case and you leave with your own customized candle. Besides the string, wax, and scents. The shop has lots of other cool stuff to look at including things to cook with, make crafts out of, and art to put on your wall. I can't wait to take a candle making class and make my own scent. The shop is really cute, clean, and the staff are friendly. If you are curious, pop in and look around like me! read more

Great scents and helpful staff! They were super helpful in assisting us with all our questions. We even ordered some online a month later to share with our family in another state. read more

Stopped into the retail store on 166 S Kalamazoo Mall and just fell in love with the store. (Looked for the yelp page for the retail place, no luck). My sister stumbled across the store last month and got hooked on the reusable soap options. So when I came into town she took me there to show me the store. We decided to par take in the candle making activity and we really enjoy it. The employees there are amazing as well and really helpful. It was a fun Friday evening there. read more

Bought a lavender candle from this company at whole foods for $15. With that price, I was expecting it to be a decent candle. However I didn't know a candle can be so scentless... I let it burn for over an hour and couldn't smell anything. I can only smell it when it's not lit and I stick my nose in it. Definitely not worth the price and will not be buying a candle from this company again. read more

I don't know who planned their menu, but their food is very bland. Everything tastes like wax to me. If you want to switch up dining choices in Kalamazoo, I wouldn't recommend eating here. read more

Very unique candles with great names and fragrance. The store is very clean and staff are helpful. I have shopped there three times in only two days and took a friend there who also purchased candles. I'm sure she will want to come back and do a candle making session with me. read more

Where to start with this company. If you want amazing smelling candles, then you have found the right company. The candles smell awesome! Not a hint of anything synthetic to be had here. The presentation of them either in a really vintage looking tin or glass jar with a handmade lid really adds to the whole presentation. I am sort of a candle addict so I really feel like I know my stuff. I ordered a candle that had the name of "Fresh Cut Grass" thinking there is no way they could simulate the smell of a freshly mowed lawn. Sure enough it did smell that way. It was awesome and not weird in any way. My other favorite or maybe this is my most favorite fragrance is "Day at the Beach." The owner, Adam was excellent and very responsive in email when or if I had a question. I have purchased many of these candles and continue to give them out as gifts. I like to support this business. I think it deserves to do really well because they have a really great product and the prices are excellent as well. You just can't go wrong here! read more

This place is adorable! My fiance and I went on a date here and made our own candles! It was super fun and creative! You make your candles with specific scents you can choose from (they have a wide selection of different scents!). The scents are essential oil based and not the chemically crap they use in bath and body works candles. You get to name your candle too! Super cute spot for a date. read more
