The Employee's gave me and my guest outstanding customer service and very accommodating even though I had ran a little late and I appreciate that they still took care of me. Big Shout out to Chloe/Hadley!!!!!! I was seated and was properly explained how to make the candles and they had different scents and that was a plus. The service was excellent!!!! and to top it off they gave me a birthday cupcake candle. and one more Thanks to the owners they invited me back and I had a great experience. I will be back and will have a Night out with the girls. Thanks for everything!!!!!!!

I visited Cork and Candles on a Monday with a friend as a fun day activity. We had booked a 1 PM…read moreappointment in advance and paid a $50 deposit. However, when we arrived, the door was locked and no one appeared to be there. We waited outside for about 20 minutes, trying to contact the business by phone and through their Instagram page, but received no response. Eventually, we left and walked over to McCormick & Schmick's a few blocks away to get drinks and hopefully hear back. After an hour with no update, we decided to stroll around Center City and make the most of our day. Around 5:45 PM, I finally received a call from a staff member who apologized and explained she hadn't seen our messages and she was actually at home at the time. She offered to reschedule us for the next day at 3 PM. We accepted, but since we were still in the area, we called back and asked if we could come "now". She agreed, and we walked back over for a 6PM session. Once there, we were offered wine for purchase and water which we accepted. We got to make two candles each. She walked us through the process and told us to pick out our scents. The music playing added to a fun, laid-back vibe. Despite the earlier miscommunication, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would definitely consider going again.

This booth has every possible lip balm flavor that you could imagine, ranging from as benign as vanilla to as unhinged as pizza. I went with the banana lip balm and it has been such a delight to use over the last few days that I have had it. I also picked up a jarred candle to enjoy at home. I was bummed to not be able to take them up on their three for $25 offer, but I didn't have enough suitcase room. I look forward to using the candle at home and continuing to appreciate the lip balm.

My best friend and I booked the Eau de Parfum experience at…read moreLoomen Labs. We bought the sample package which included perfume making for 1 hour and 30 mins and three 10ml samples. The doors won't open until 5 minutes before your reservation time so I stood outside the entrance and waited until the doors were unlocked. Overall, the experience was fine but I felt like I wasn't given enough attention because there were larger parties/others who purchased the more expensive deluxe package at our reservation. My friend was running a bit behind due to an accident on 95. Loomen Labs has a grace period of 10 minutes. The woman working there said after 10 minutes it would be considered a reschedule. My friend arrived after 10 minutes and the employee said I would have to catch her up to speed on everything on my own. Again, I totally didn't mind doing this. Towards the end, it felt like the experience was rushed. The woman working there was not enthusiastic about anything and answered questions with a slight attitude. I could feel the energy shifting as the night went on. After I got my perfume alcohol mixed in with my preferred scents, I filled up the 10ml sample bottles. It turned out to be enough perfume to fill only two and a half. The third one was only halfway full. Not sure where I went wrong with that. The interior is tiny and the tables are not that far apart so that's something to consider if you book on a busier day with other guests present.

The doors were opened and there were balloons and decor and music playing if I recall correctly and there were people gathered inside and flowing onto the outside. I was first greeted by the owner's mother and then by other guests attending the opening day festivities that evening. It was such a nice surprise. I received a whole run down of how the shop worked and was able to make a candle for myself from scratch. It was so delightful to get to meet new and interesting people. I did not know anyone there and Beth the owner, along with her friends and family made me feel so welcomed. What I love most is the premise of the business. Each candle has an affirmation on it . I think I have tried all of them except for "Daring" and gifted one to my parents. The idea is that scent is linked to emotion and memory and that you connect positive experiences and affirmations via the scent to elicit this happy hormone response within your body. I recall her telling me that her sister was the one who was able to speak to the science of it and she (Beth) was the brains behind it in terms of creating scents and the affirmations. I have to say that those candles really helped me immensely, especially during a time that I needed encouragement and motivation the most. I started out using them in Philadelphia and then ordered from the store to have them shipped to me when I lived in Virginia. I would light the candle and then meditate on the affirmation that was printed on the label. It doesn't go without saying that the candles themselves smell absolutely amazing. They aren't like generic or overly nauseating by any means. All of the scents are natural and not overpowering or overwhelming. Some are a bit stronger than others. My particular favorite is "Radiant" because it has notes of grapefruit and peppercorn. It has the revitalizing scent to it whereas my other favorite is "Connected". That one has this softness to it that reminds me of a subtle musk with a powdery touch. I also like that there are custom made matches you can order as well. I felt lucky that they were included with my order complimentary on that grand opening day. It has been maybe about a year or so since ai first ventured into that store and I have been hooked on those candles ever since. So much so that I feel reluctant getting other kinds. I used to be a devout Sand & Fog fan, Bath and Body Works Candle Sale fan, and Voluspa fan, but now I prefer State of Being candles more than those. You can just tell they are high quality candles and I am a fan. They are a bit costly, but you get what you pay for so they are a good value I think. The scents last for a long time. Some scents are more powerful than others, but I prefer the fragrance to be somewhere in the middle, enough to make me notice is there, but no so strong that it is overpowering. You can tell that they are made with love and that is what I appreciate the most. The good vibes and energy that go into them when they are made. I like to think that when I light them up, that good vibes and energy are radiating out from them:) And it acts like energetic medicine ^_^ So, I will continue to buy from them as long as I can afford them lol but highly recommend! They also apparently do workshops and other fun events now as well. I am subscribed to their newsletter so I get to hear all about what I am missing out on lol but if you are ever in Philly and in the area, I encourage you to stop by if you are into fragrances at all, into spiritual/metaphysical stuff like me, and wish to be in good company. Beth and her family will make sure to treat you with the same respect, care, and attention that she puts into her candles:) Unfortunately, I did not take any photos while I was there in the store, but hopefully my review can give you a good idea of what to expect. Update: 8/15/24-My candle (their newest one) got delivered today and it smells amazing as always. I have it lit and placed next to my vision board that I made at a workshop that I did a few months back..felt like it would be the proper place for it, but finally was able to snap a pic and add to my review:) Will continue to buy more in the future as I am a loyal fan/customer as these candles have helped evoke much positivity in my life

What a breeze it was picking up my online order from this Bath & Body Works location today!…read more I stopped in around lunchtime and it was busy. I had about 3 customers ahead of me in line. One of the associates stood off to the side behind the counter and asked if anyone was picking up an order. I flagged him down and he signaled me to come over. His name was Austin and he was a pleasure! Once he reviewed my order confirmation email, he went to the back to grab my items. He came back out, checked that the correct items were placed in the bag and sent me on my way! It was the quickest, easiest and friendliest service. An associate at the entrance was also super bubbly and wished me a great day. I'm pleased with the experience I had at this store and will be back in the future.

Yesterday I visited Cork & Candles to celebrate my 35th birthday with my fiancé, and while we…read moreenjoyed spending time together, the overall experience fell short - especially for my special occasion. The host was frequently absent and didn't provide much guidance or engagement during the experience. It felt a bit like we were left to navigate things on our own. Additionally, there was no acknowledgment of my birthday while there, which was disappointing given that this was the purpose of our visit. Even a small gesture or simple "happy birthday" would have gone a long way in making the experience feel more personal and celebratory. For the price point, I did expect a more elevated and attentive experience. Overall, it's a nice spot, I just wish the experience felt a bit more intentional - especially for moments you're celebrating.

I looked on the website and I believe you have to book online only to reserve your spot. On the website, you can decide what experience you would like to have such as their signature candle in which you make two candles, the candle of the month or a cereal bowl candle experience. I chose the signature candle which was 75.00. Once I arrived, I noticed that the shop was cute and creatively decorated. I had the pleasure of meeting my host Becky who was sooo personable and simply Ahmazing! Becky explained how candle making works and discussed the scent bar in which I could choose between earthy, fruity or exotic scents for the candles and you can also select two candle jars. I decided to get a bigger candle jar which was an extra 10.00. Overall i became a chandler and made two beeyutiful candles and Becky gave me healing crystals and the large candle jar free of charge!! I was so grateful and appreciative being as tho It took me along time to accept nice things and blessings from people, I would always block it... but that's another story! Cork and candles!!! I will defintely be back for that cereal bowl candle which is also pre made for purchasing along with other creative candles. Great for couples, girls nite out, birthdays etc!

These candles look so much like a real drink that I've actually received strange reactions from friends, colleagues, and clients who mistakenly thought I had a real alcoholic drink on my desk. Then I burned them and in no time my office smelled amazing, and they burned forever. I've even given some of the "normal" container candles they make as gifts for family and friends and they all loved the strong yet pleasant aromas they give off. Hands down, you can't beat the quality of these products, the fact that they are eco-frinedly, the quick turnaround time on their order fulfillment, and the price is much better than the big name boutique store prices. The best part of all is this company supports local and national charities, so I'm happy to give my money to them to get a great product and support those in need.
