You walk in and it's downstairs in the basement of the whole building. So it's a pretty large space. I wish they had a bigger selection of coloring books but I guess it's more a place for actual artists and not so much amateurs that want to practice staying in the lines.

Went here on a Saturday afternoon, and I was told it was an hour to hour and a half wait. That was fine with me. I spent an hour in the area and then I called to ask how much more time is left (not to be impatient, but to see what things I could do while waiting) and I was told it would be another 45 minutes. I started doing something else, and 10 minutes later, I was told it was my turn... that was really unfortunate. When I got there, the staff was super nice and helpful! However, I noticed that I wasn't given all the info other customers were getting. They were told about things like the tools to make textures and what not, but I didn't hear about it until halfway through I was done glazing. I wish there better communication. A great spot though for a calming indoor activity.

We went there 3 days ago and were very disappointed. The food's still good, but the service was terrible. The waitress was very nice and apologized for the slow service and said that they had more business than expected on a Thursday night. Ok, that happens. Our entrees were brought out. I was given my wife's and she received mine - no big deal but a harbinger of things to come. We ordered a small plate as an appetizer to have with our cocktails. We were half-way through our entrees when I had to ask about it. The staff didn't seem to be particularly concerned that we had our entrees half eaten and had to ask about our small plate. It finally came, by which point we didn't really want it. We left and went to Sardine for a glass of wine where the service and food are unfailingly top notch. I'm not saying I won't go back, but it is no longer on my 'go-to' list because it has now become unpredictable. It's too expensive for that.

While the dining room doesn't lend itself to a romantic evening (bar overlooking the kitchen, a few high tops and communal long tables), the rest of the experience is top notch. I stopped In for lunch and ordered the ginger fried chicken. A savory flavor bomb, the chicken was perfectly fried and moist and the brioche bun outstanding. I loved the chili crisp mayo along with the house made pickles. I was stuffed but the housemade malt gelato and brioche ice cream sammy called my name. Yes, it was rich. True, it was decadent.

I have been a loyal customer of this special special place for over 20 years. Amazing scents and…read moresuper clean burning wax combined with stellar customer service. I don't understand the person who left that nasty review last year. We're in the middle of a worldwide pandemic and they had time to write a review but not respond to any of the entreaties from the business to make things better? That's just someone who was angry at something else and took it out on this business by leaving that nasty review. I hadn't initially come to this page to write a review but I am so incensed that one person's pettiness would so hurt the ratings of this small family run business that I felt I had no choice but to respond. I first encountered Candle Cocoon (and it's sister business Karner Blue) when the owner had her first shop on Old University Ave. I was given a candle as a gift and loved it so much that I've been a customer since - over 20 years. As a former Franklin/Randall PTO Board member, we knew we just had to ask and Lyschel (the owner) would be up for anything to support the school (or the neighborhood) including donation of materials, demonstrations or even sales benefitting the school. My son still treasures his "wax hand" from a booth they had at our neighborhood 4th of July party when he was 4 (he's now 10). Not only did Lyschel and her staff help many (MANY) small children make candles and dip their hands in wax, but they also did face painting. While I miss being able to shop in store when they were on Monroe St, I understand why their business model has had to shift during the pandemic - with candles in the same diy category as bread from scratch and other handicrafts. With an immunocompromised person business adjacent, of course they would move away from in person shopping. I also understand the frustration of stopping by and not being able to get something, but really? There's no room for grace? A (hard to find and in short supply) hard working employee was short on the phone one time so they decided to trash a business they obviously aren't a regular customer of - that's ridiculous. In summary, if the one star reviewer had actually shopped there before they would've known they weren't speaking to the owner. That employee may no longer even work there - but to besmirch the reputation of an entire business out of spite? That's the kind of review that shouldn't be allowed on yelp. Shop with Candle Cocoon - there's a reason they're so busy. You won't be disappointed.
