What a gem of a boutique! I stumbled upon this little gift shop while wandering around Pittsburgh,…read moreand I'm so glad I did. It's the kind of place that immediately feels special -- warm lighting, thoughtfully curated items, and a vibe that's effortlessly charming. The owner was lovely -- super friendly, helpful without hovering, and so easy to talk to. You can tell she genuinely cares about what she carries and the people who walk through the door. Lots of beautiful pieces, including some unique European labels I haven't seen elsewhere. Whether you're looking for a gift or just a little "treat yourself" moment, this spot is it. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in town!

I really loved this store. I discovered it just walking by. Note that they are only open Tuesday -…read moreSaturday (at present, Nov., '22). There are a ton of lovely gifts to get here for others or yourself. Many are imports from France or Italy. I wanted to get multiple candles, but left with one candle, one really nice shoulder bag (this is what drew me here in the first place, as I had seen it in the window and returned when they were open), and a lip balm ahead of the chilly winter weather that has arrived! I will say the prices here are a bit high, but everything here is of very high quality, and in comparison to the manufacturer or brand websites of the items I purchased, the prices were actually very close in comparison. It also always makes me feel good to support local businesses that are creating the flavor of the city we live in.

After washing your hands, smell their fragrance wall to find about 10 of your favorite scents! After, select the candle jar (different sizes are different prices), and since there were 3 of us, we got to take advantage of the buy 3 get 1 free deal! The scent expert will help you decide which scents would go best in your candle (up to 3), you will decide how much of each essential oil gets put into your wax so you truly decide on how heavy/light each scent is! Candles take about 2hrs to set or you can pick up the next day. Every aspect of this experience is customizable, down to the label! Great for large parties, kids, and as an activity to explore Lawrenceville as well.

I have been coming here for years since it was the Candle Lab and celebrated several special…read moreoccasions here. The most recent time I had a reservation for 10 people at 11am. As the organizer of the event for my birthday, I arrived ten minutes early (with 3 others) to be respectful of our reservation (not realizing they didn't open yet). Staff was inside and the door was open. It was pouring rain so we came inside. A staff member told us we had to wait outside. I said "I am Alaina and have the reservation for 11am. Do we have to wait in the rain?" And they said yes. I was flabbergasted. This is Lawrenceville so you can't simply walk back to your car in the parking lot and wait. A much better response from a business who specialize in customer experience is "welcome! We're happy to have you celebrate your birthday with us. We open in 10 minutes so we're not quite ready for you yet, however, you're more than welcome to wait over *whatever place most appropriate* or if you want to brave the rain there is a coffee shop a few stores down if you want to grab a coffee first" That would have been the appropriate response. Not. We're not open. Wait outside. (Do I have to wait in the rain?) Yes. That being said, Alexis was very friendly, and she assisted our group. I'd suggest the business not scheduling reservations before 11:15am.

Owned and operated by then candle queen Greta. She has been making soy candles for over 12 years…read more Her candles are all-natural, dye-free, scented soy candles that are all inspired by nature and style. She is amazing and super helpful to help you find the perfect candle! All candles are hand-made. She has a few house favorites that are around year-round, but most candles are seasonal- which we love! Her shop is located in Mt. Washington! Online orderings is also available. Her Almond Torte is incredible around for all seasons. I also love her spiced pumpkin roll. The perfect combination of scents- making you feel like baking on a cool, crisp fall day. They last and smell so good- amazing quality! Love a good quality product and supporting local.

My most recent visit was in September so I got to take advantage of their promotion: buy a candle, get a pumpkin for $5! There's always something fun going on here, and everyone I've met is always so sweet and helpful! A little about the candles: AMAZING fragrance, like you can tell this is made from high quality ingredients. And the candle seems to be lasting a very long time (slow burning)!! They have such cool labels too, I have a simple one, but they have great options for Pittsburgh and the State Forest's in PA! A must visit!!

They were super friendly and warm, which made the start of everything feel really comfortable. They walked me through the whole process. First I picked out the candle jar I wanted. Then they gave me a paper where I had to write down the scent options I preferred from all the fragrances they had available. After I listed out the ones I liked, they helped me narrow it down to my top three and we combined those into the final fragrance for my candle. It was honestly such a cool process. Balancing all the scents was a little tricky at first because everything smelled good in a different way, but the employee guided me through which ones were stronger or more subtle. Super helpful. By the end I felt like a candle expert... hahaha just kidding, but low-key I kind of did. The only downside was that I had to wait until the next day to pick up my candle because it needed to set overnight. Other than that the whole experience was amazing. I'm absolutely coming back to make more candles. If you're ever bored or looking for something different to do, I definitely recommend Candle Co. It's super fun, relaxing, and a cute little way to express yourself. It would be a great activity with friends too.
