The Cleveland Candle Company

This place was so so so fun!!! It's not an all day thing but something you can definitely squeeze in within an hour if you have time!! They sometimes let walk ins join, but they do recommend appointments!!The price of the experience/candle depends on what jar you choose. It can be anywhere for $20-$70!! - the size you see in my pic was the $20 candle!You sniff through a BUNCH of candles and write downs the ones you like!! You can pick what you think will go best together or ask the worker for recommendations!!!You pour your oil into a little dish to make sure your smell is exactly how you want it.... then you dump it into your soy wax!!!!!While the worker makes sure everything is perfect, you get to name your candle with markers and a label!!After it's all done you should give it about 1hr-2hrs to dry and you can come back to pick it up!! Awesome experience and i will for sure be coming back!!

I've been here a few times to pick up gifts for friends and I visited just yesterday evening (4 March 2022) to buy some candles for 3 friends birthdays.I first found about the Cleveland Candle Company over 4 years ago (in September 2017) from a Yelp event and ever since, I've loved coming here. You can read that Yelp event review here -- https://www.yelp.com/biz/yelps-custom-candle-making-cleveland-heights?hrid=wZaI7TFsomQWwtgPslkmWw&utm_source=ishare&utm_content=reviewCANDLES -- They are expensive but they are worth it. They are hand-poured so you are paying for the work it takes to make them. Their 8oz candles (very small size) costs between $15 - $25. At other stores, you will find cheaper candles. For example, I bought a 14oz (396g) size candle (much bugger) that is a soy-infused candle for only $5 at the Dollar General store a few days ago. Thus, I hardly buy candles for myself at The Cleveland Candle Company.About 90% of their oils are sourced (from) Ohio so it is mostly all local. There are so many different scents to choose from such as lavender, sunflower, coffee, etcOTHER ITEMS -- I always love coming here to buy gifts for friends because the candles are wonderful. They also sell natural soaps and lip balm.CLASSES -- They have lip balm and candle-making classes which is a nice creative activity to come with your partner (boyfriend/girlfriend) for a date, your friends/ family, or your co-workers (come with anyone). I've taken their candle making class with Yelp and I really enjoyed itI recommend the Cleveland Candle Company for their assortment of candles and because it is a small and local business. As a TIP, if you join their email list, you will get an email once a month. In that email, they will give you a discount code (normally 10-15% off) to buy candles online for their candle of the month.****- 8/150 total reviews in 2022- 486 total overall Yelp reviews- Reviewed on 5 March 2022

The Cleveland Candle Company is amazing! They have so many flavors and scents of candles to choose from! Scents that you distinctly remember, all in candle form! Ever since I can remember, my mom has always asked for two candles or perfumes that smell like fruity pebbles or play-doh. The moment I walked into their store I knew I would find one, which happened to be fruity pebbles! She absolutely loved it!I can't wait to go back and try making my own candles with friends or with my fiancé as a cute date night!

I came here with a large group for a bachelorette party and it was SO fun! It was the perfect activity to do with the group! The staff was all so accommodating for our group and took their time explaining all the instructions and giving us tips on what would make our candle the best! We were able to reserve the back area to hang out while our candles dried and were able to bring drinks and snacks to have while we waited ! It made for the perfect outing :)

What a fun experience (and surprise activity) for Father's Day this year! The five of us checked out all the available scents and each made a custom candle based on our likes with assistance from the staff on what goes well together.I burn mine in my home office and love what I came up with! Thanks for a memorable day with my family!

This place is the best. It's such a cool experience to concoct your own scent and put it into your very own candle ! I've been to all three locations for different occasions like Mother's Day, date night, sorority event, etc. You really can't go wrong! I love that you get to make your own label too. So cute! You can even make your candle in a festive Cleveland wine glass or an old beer bottle. So many options! And this location now has its own even center! So you can hold work meetings, birthday parties, bridal showers, etc. in the new space, with it without making candles! And the owner is one of the nicest people I've ever met!

I stopped in to get a candle as a housewarming gift for my new neighbor. Not only can you make your own candles and customize scents, but they also have pre-made candles available for purchase in over 100 scents, including some seasonal choices. I believe they offer classes/ events for the candle making but I didn't have time to do that today. Looking at the shelves and shelves of candles trying to choose was a little overwhelming, not to mention that after awhile everything started smelling the same. There are small glass jars of whole coffee beans around the shop - this is to cleanse your nasal palate and kind of reset your sense of smell. Take a few whiffs off the coffee beans and then you can smell again! The candles were reasonably priced, I thought, and I ended up leaving with one for myself, too! I really enjoyed the bergamot scented candle and the apple harvest scent too.

I had an incredible date night here at the CCC. I've gone to a different location previously, so I kind of knew the drill but my date did not. I was super excited to experience this again with the companion of my mate! We were a perfect balance because I enjoy the foodie sweet smelling candles, and he loves the clean smelling more cologne influenced candles. I made a delicious Pecan Waffles, Hot Cinnamon, Gingerbread variety and called it Sweet Dreams. He made a great smelling candle with Blue Agave, Black Tie, That Guy Who Smells Good, and nicknamed it That Guy in a Black Tie!The lady who helped us along in the process was very kind and attentive, and we had all of our questions answered and ended the night with two adorable His & Hers candles which we absolutely love! Looking forward to coming back again!

I am familiar with the Cleveland Heights location, but since it is so far from where I live it was a one and done. Very happy to find out they opened a store on the west side! I really enjoy that this company creates products from local goods, that you can return your glass container for them to recycle, and that they have hands on classes where you can create your own candle, lip balm, bath bomb or do a painting or cooking decorating class!I've been to two make your own candle events and enjoyed them so much I bought gift certificates as part of a gift to my newly wed friend and her husband. They had a blast making one fall and one winter scented candle. I did have a little issue where they charged me tax for the gift certificate, but staff was very friendly about the honest mistake and generously made up for it. I think Tanya is the name of the redhead co-owner, I like her. She comes across kind, helpful, and patient. Some of my favorite scents here are Clover & Aloe, Pecan Waffles, Pumpkin Cookie Crunch, Cabernet Sauvignon, Boston Tea Party, and Pretty Pink Glam. I don't like anything too strong or crazy as it gives me headaches, but these have a nice soft/medium scent to them that is not overpowering but still enjoyable to the senses. I don't buy candles on the regular and I am cheap so you know it's a big deal that I'm promoting something outside of Target's candles on clearance section. They have like a 100 different candles or you can mix your own and create a unique scent. I recommend checking them out! Definitely a fun date night or ladies night out! Plus Citizen Pie is a minute walk away and you should go there before or after and make your taste buds happy too!

Bad customer service. Can't smell candle scents, very weak. Won't reorder from them. Emailed them 3 times and let a message at one of their stores.
