Such a fun experience to try in Seattle!…read more The staff were outstanding, with Mikey in particular going above and beyond! He made the whole process a blast, walking us through each step with energy and enthusiasm that kept things fun and easy to follow. Even while assisting multiple guests at once, he made sure we always felt supported and never left waiting. Once you're familiar with the process, you'll select a vessel and explore 30+ scent options displayed along a scent wall. The team helps you discover which fragrances blend well together to create your ideal combination. This is where Mikey's expertise really shined! He suggested scents I hadn't considered, and they worked beautifully with my favorite scents. After creating your perfect scent ratio, the oils are blended into wax, and left to set for 2-3 hours. Prices were comparable to other handmade candles you find at farmers markets, plus ELM uses a coconut apricot wax. Be sure to book a reservation, they fill up quick!

I know Elm Candle through work and remembered some of my work colleagues coming here to do a team bonding event. My girl friend was turning 30 and said she would be doing a birthday activity here! Our scent specialist, Mikey was super helpful! They had everything prepared for our ladies to partake in the session and the instructions were on the card which was super cute since it also had a 'Thank You' at the back in support of their small business. You put your name and select which item you want to make. I chose a room spray since I have SO MANY candles at home! Mikey had us choose which container (room spray only had one kind) but candles had a variety. I wanted to make the reed diffuser initially but they were sold out! Next, they had a variety of scents on the wall so you could write those on your card and star your faves! Coffee beans were provided to help with your nose since you smell so many scents! Mikey was so patient with all of us and walked us through the process! I was super pleased with my scents. He evaluated each of our cards, asked us what kinds of scents we are into, and then gathered 3-4 essential oils to smell -- you can mix and match. You can omit one or add another depending on your preferences. We left with cute little bags! It was such a wonderful experience! It's a little pricey but definitely worth it.

My family and I stumbled across this cute flower shop on our way to dinner and saw a bunch of…read morepeople there buying flowers before Valentine's Day. We decided to go in to look at their flowers and buy one ourselves. Their flowers are gorgeous! I just love their selection. They also have paper flowers made by this local artist and also candles and earrings. The Valentine's bouquets were almost twice as expensive as their regular ones but the flowers last awhile.

I've walked by this cute shop in the past before they had opened for the day, but when I got into a…read moreYelp community event Sweet Serenity was officially on the "must go" list. I was here to grab a succulent (zebra haworthia), but of course I want to look around! I was greeted quickly when I walked in and noticed some air plants right away. I have a little pup that currently lives in a shot glass, so I was hoping to get the little guy a new home. Alas, they sell some air plants, but they don't really have holders for them. I opted to get a container for my new succulent while I was here as well. Basically all of the pots they have are technically too big, but I was able to find one that was close enough and matched the aesthetics of my Thanksgiving cactus's home. My new little friend isn't quite ready to replant, but with a little creativity I can at least hide the plastic pot. The shop also does some really nice candles and beautiful flower arrangements - pots and all included! Great local business that's worth popping your head in if you're in the area!

I've been a longtime customer of this business. I recently attended their warehouse sale and bought…read moreseveral candles. After getting home, I realized the scents of the candles did not match the labels on the lids. I reached out to ask about a return or exchange from other warehouse sale inventory, but was informed that neither option was available. The company did provide wax melts in the scent I had intended to purchase, which I appreciated. However, I would have preferred the option to exchange the candles themselves. Sharing my experience so others can factor this in when shopping.

I love everything about this company and made the swap from bath and body works to this company. While the price is a bit higher, I love that you are able to buy refill kits making it eco friendly. Now let's talk about the candles! Not only are they unique, but they smell oh so amazing! I love gifting these for friends to celebrate special occasions or just because they need a little pick me up. My favorite scents are the fall and winter scents. They leave your house smelling clean with that cozy and comfort feeling of relaxation. I always have a sage and sea salt candle and refill because ain't nobody got time for negative energy or bad vibes in their house. Highly recommend shiplap orchard, pumpkin spice latte, sugared cranberry, sugared pine, and Yule scents. For those who are sensitive to smells these are not overwhelming where you get a headache, but strong enough to enjoy them. These candles actually last a long time before having to refill them or swap them out. I also recommend their wax melts as they also last a good amount of burn time. Overall, I would say you get your monies worth. The quality is amazing, scents are great, and the presentation is perfection. You can purchase these products from in store, website, or even amazon! I can't say enough fabulous things about this company and highly recommend checking them out and supporting this veteran business!

We found what we needed there to help our wee doggie get through a respiratory issue comfortably…read more A naturopathic syrup formula of Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root and unheated raw honey soothed his cough by the second dosing (3x's per day) and symptoms went completely away in two days. However we continued for one more day and he has had no relapse. That said, not all pet illnesses or discomfort can be cured with herbal formulas and so we do not disregard seeing his veterinarian for a diagnosis for anything alarming or persistent and he is vaccinated. However, we do support and enhance positive health, his and ours, through diet first which can include health enhancing formulas which I prefer to make myself rather than trusting formulas that are not regulated and can contain whatever ingredients profiteers without consciences want to put in them. Was thrilled to find such an apothecary in the Seattle metro because it allows me to know exactly what I gave my sweet doggie during his discomfort and I can obtain formulas or make them myself to support our family's health as needed.

She truly cares about her customers and what she dose. The establishment has numerous herbal supplements and extracts, as well as many fresh herbs that can be used for culinary and multiple uses.

This is a must try if you want to explore natural remedies, purchase fresh herbs, coffee, tea or incense.

We really liked the card selection here but we were primarily into the candle selection and really liked the selection they had there and the various scents. Paper Luxe is great for a little gift and to celebrate cheerful occasions and certainly is a place to keep in mind since the only thing similar I have come across was in Seattle. But perhaps there are closer spots too and I just haven't come across them yet.

Also they have very limited selections and the items are overpriced. You can get much similar things online or from a mom-and-pop that appreciates you being there. Hoping they work on their service because it would help them a lot.

This month Habitat for Humanity store- Bellevue was selected, and what a fantastic day I had getting to know the team and volunteering. I was initially saddened to learn we wouldn't be helping build a project, but once the store team provided insight on how the donations, volunteers, and purchases from customers help make those projects happen I grew overly excited. I was pleasantly stunned at how much inventory was on hand, but especially the great quality. Many of the items for sale were brand new, and priced unbelievably low regardless of the branded name. Whatever your reason maybe for considering to shop at this location just know the Bellevue team really care and take great pride in ensuring all items are checked, cleaned, and sanitized before placing on the floor for sale. I have plans to not only donate, but volunteer and shop here again; I highly recommend!
