Candle Bar FAQs

WHAT IS THE CANDLE BAR?

Come pour your own candle with us! During this candle making experience you will choose your own vessel, choose your own scent blend, and pour a candle that is uniquely yours. 

THE PROCESS

You'll start by smelling through our selection of scents. You'll select the ones you want to mix together for your custom candle. Then you'll choose which vessel you'd like to make your own. 

Once you have everything selected, it's time to mix your own unique scent blend and pour your candle! 

The entire process takes 30-45 minutes. This is perfect for date night, family day, girls night, corporate team building, bridal showers, baby showers, etc. Kids 10 and older are welcome at the candle bar accompanied by an adult. 

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I POUR MY CANDLE?

Your candle will need 60-90 minutes to harden enough to take with you. While you're waiting for your candle to cure, you are welcome to shop with the other businesses around J-town. We're within walking distance to several restaurants like El Nopal, Gaslight Diner, and Dickie's BBQ. Quills Coffee is also close by. Or walk over to RecBar to have a drink and play some games while you wait.

You are also welcome to pick up your candle at a later date or we can ship it to you for a $4 fee. 

We ask that you arrive at least 2 hours prior to closing if you plan on taking your candle with you the same day.

WHAT DOES IT COST?
