It was fun walking around the store lifting the glass domes to get a whiff of the candle's scent. If you're looking for masculine scents, they have a good selection here. Definitely a great gift idea. I did find the candles to be priced a bit high and customer service was lacking.

Something I've been paying attention to especially when shopping at a local business is customer…read moreservice and friendliness. I'm not sure if the gentleman who checked me out was the owner or a regular employee. Regardless, he did not have a friendly disposition when checking me out. (I am a woman of color for reference) he didn't even greet me which is a simple courtesy. I had to ask him "hey, how are you today" to which he didn't respond and just told me the balance I owed. My fellow friend (white male) checked out right after me and he greeted him! He also asked him how he wanted his items wrapped. (We both had the same items) If the store itself wasn't so nice and full of good merchandise/gifts I would've given it an even lower rating. To management: please know and remind your employees that even a simple hello goes a long way Edit: This seems to be a trend going years back (looking at reviews) with this business and their discriminatory practices. There are better local shops with less AI slop to patronize

It's a great gift shop for both locals and visitors. Some of my favorites gift options include the pottery mugs, cards, Texas stuffs and handmade soaps. They have many brands of handmade soaps and they all smell so good. The only reason I'm not giving a 5-star is bc most of the items I found here are overpriced. However, I definitely would recommend to people who are looking for fancy gifts! A very cute store to visit and shop.

You need to come here. I do not know another shop like this in Austin where Cantu's has been my go-to for the 21 years of me living here. This is a rare gem of a store in South Austin that you have to know about if you don't already. This is a very unique, quiet, and calm place to come in to whether you want to browse or you are curious about a consultation at Lee's Healing Center (located inside the shop in the back). When I need red mal de ojo bracelets (what are ojo bracelets, you ask? They are for protection! Look it up!) for myself, friends, or even for my baby nephew Cantu's has got them. Yup! She carries baby bracelets too to give to a newborn baby or any one who has small wrists to be honest. You will want to really take your time here when you arrive as there are so many things to see. Books, candles, prayer booklets, trinkets, statues, and tarot cards (also in Spanish!) can be found here. There should be no rush when you are here so take your time and gather all the things that call to you. Parking is located in the back of the small yellow building. Entrance is in the front off of S. 1st street. Be sure not to park in the convenience store next door where the sandwich shop is at. You will be towed! Be sure to say hello to Virgen de Guadalupe on the side of the building. The mural is beautiful (and old) but worth the stop to check out and maybe get a selfie with her. She really shines off of S. 1st Street!

I went into the store today to buy some candles and Mr. Cantu also told me that they did cleanses which interested, he told me he did an oil cleaning so I waited for him to be available after my purchase. We went into the back room and he explained that the oil cleaning consisted on oils and herbals sprays that have to be applied on the body and that he also used an egg and a lime. He also said that I needed to take my clothes off and only leave my underwear, which raised some concerns and made me feel really uncomfortable. I think that if he is going to be Performing this kind of ritual on a woman, there needs to be a woman practitioner in the room while this is being done And he should also offer some sort of gown or a sheet for the Client to cover themselves with. The whole thing felt very unprofessional. Has this happened to anyone else??
