Baby!!! When it comes to this candle shop THEY DO NOT PLAY!!! I have been coming here for a while and i must admit that Ms. Nicole has made me a forever patron!!! Ive only encountered her a few times but her energy is everything. This last year or so Ive been working with V. LOVE HER!!! V is so knowledgeable about the metaphysical realm and she has no problem with telling you WRONG CHOICE, CHANGE YOUR INTENTION!!! She always tells me to make sure my intentions are pure. They dress candles as well, its an additional charge but thats okay!!! Phoenix is definitely my go to candle shop in the east bay and im even more excited because THEY ARE NOW OPEN ON SUNDAYS!!! read more

See all

What an amazing shop! The staff and owner are all magical and they can help you find exactly what kind of metaphysical healing you need - even if you don't yet know what you're looking for! read more

Wow, what a sweet experience. I remember going to this location before the current owner was there and it has taken me more than 20 years to even consider going back so that demonstrates how unimpressed I was before. Now, after a very gratifying conversation with the owner I am eager to support her and her shop. Thanks to other reviewers I was able to follow my instincts and give this business a fresh look and potentially get some specialty items I need. Immediately the owner offered to obtain exactly what I am looking for and I am very excited to add some treasures to my trove. I need a new Oakland favorite and this could be it. I will add more to this review when I conduct a transaction. read more

What an experience! The lady in here was such a gem!! We didn't have cash and we were planning to pay with card, but realized we had no cash and the lady just sent us home with our stuff free of charge because she believed that we would come back and share how amazing her shop is! She was so nice and welcoming, the place has a ton of candles and incense. It was a wonderful experience and I will definitely be back for my candle supply when I'm back in town. read more

The owner, Ms. Nicole, is a walking gem and scholar. I tend to enter the shop and layout my current life endeavors like I was in a therapy session, and she and her assistants are able to pinpoint exactly what I need. From a major break-up to transitioning into my 30s, I have come here for natural remedies and healing. It is hard to find someone as knowledgable as Ms. Nicole, for she speaks with the wisdom, the discernment, and the humility of a shaman, a curandera, and a medical doctor. Lastly, I am so glad to support a black-owned business, especially in Oakland with all of the darn gentrification here. For me, the Phoenix Candle Shop is a close second to the library in terms of local treasures. Instead of reaching for that ice cream or sad R&B soundtrack, come here for incenses and candles to cleanse and enrich your spirit and space. read more

Walking by one day, I went into this dark little shop to see if they sold beeswax candles. They don't, but the woman behind the counter told me "I think you want to make candles out of Crisco." I walked out wondering why she thought I would want that, and then it occurred to me that she somehow *knew* I wanted something inexpensive, non-toxic, and natural. She had me pegged and she was right. Instead of trying to sell me things I didn't want, she gave me an amazing idea for accessing exactly what I did want. That's some amazing customer service right there! read more

Exactly the place I needed at exactly the right time! The lovely gals there know their stuff, and if you know yours then you'll be happy you went. They also share knowledge, so even if you aren't quite sure of what you need, they can set you on the right path. Gratitude and respect! read more

every time I go there its an amazing experience. always genuine people working who will take the time!! not only do they have great pricing, but just being able to support botanicas like this makes you FEEL GOOD. my candles are burning amazing, selection is amazing. can't say enough good things. read more

This is one of the oldest candle/gift shops in the area that still carries quality goods and hard to find items at reasonable prices. I've come in here numerous times in search of a specific style of soap or certain scent of incense/candle and have always ended up leaving with a bag full of goodies. Whether you are in the market for spiritual goods or just want to add essence to a room, this place will definitely take care of your needs. read more

The people that run this shop are really sweet and knowledgeable. They have a huge variety of candles plus some other supplies such as oils, incense, baths, and the usual candle shop stuff. They can custom mix oils for you. They sell some excellent products that aren't Indio brand, including some very nice candles that are scented, gel wax, and come fixed. Of course they can fix any of the candles for you, but I usually do it myself at home. If you can't burn candles at home they can burn them for you in the back. There isn't much browsing here. Most everything is behind the counter, but service is good and fast even when you end up behind someone buying two dozen candles. read more

This is an old time candle shop. They do take debit and credit cards now. Bishop Williams and his wife Nicole are very friendly and know what they are talking about. They will dress your candles for you and you can burn them in the back room. They also cater to the botanica clientele, but still focus on southern style hoodoo. read more

This is my go to spot. Nicole is the best card reader & Rosalinda is a Shaman & healer like no other! I highly recommend this shop for all your spiritual needs! read more

My favorite candle shop in Oakland, they have a large selection of Voodoo candles, religious candles, and oils. The owner Bishop and his wife are very helpful and knowledgeable, but they don't have a large selection of herbs. If you want herbs try Ancient Ways on 41st and Telegraph they have a big selection of herbs, books on witchcraft, spells, and stones, but not a big selection on candles. read more

All sorts of candles to meet all sorts of rites of passages, and life challenges. The store owned and run by the bright Light Nicole, who knows her candles quite well. This shop is a great gem, in the middle of hustle bustle Fruitvale. They sell botanicas, candles, incense, and probably other items if you are seeking something particular in this realm. They'll even anoint your candle for that special occasion only you can transit. read more

Two weekends ago I came here to purchase some frankincense and myrrh resin. It was my first time at the shop and Nicole, the owner, was very nice and welcoming and gave me a great price for both. She has a good looking dog named "Spirit". I like her shop and will definitely come back when I'm in the area. Thanks again Nicole! read more

I these people serious!!!? They charged me $9 bucks for a red male figure that I could have bought from Indo for $2! The mark-up is at least over 200% on their candles. Never again for me. I will travel to San Francisco for my supplies. read more
