What a fun little shop! They have a wide variety of scents and I love that they offer recycling for the jars to cut down on waste too. And the owners take pride in supporting other local businesses & artisans, which is awesome! They make their candles in the same space that the shop is, so it's neat to see the process as they're making new batches. This is definitely a place I'd visit again for gifts when I'm in town.

Favorite candles ever. Owners are very nice as well. I recommend ‘spiced honey’ for fall.

I love, love, love Urban Candle. I love going there to see "what's new" and stock up on my favorites and also like to give as gifts. Chris and her sister, Barb, are so great. Urban Candle is so generous with their fundraising donations. Urban Candle is the best.

So first off this an excellent candle shop but it’s not what I thought it would be. Being URBAN Candle I went in expecting urban specific scents like “urine on hot pavement” and “an entire to-go order of toasted ravs that was thrown on the ground last night and then baked with the morning sun” but they ended up having more standard scents.

I love this candle shop and I am so glad Yelp introduced me to it! Ever since the Yep event that we had a few months ago, I have stopped in a few times for different candles as either gifts for myself or for friends. The smells they offer are amazing and very clean smelling. The candles burn so nicely and are a steal for the product and price. On my lsat visit, I was in need of 2 candles for friends and then I brought an empty glass container to ask for Chris/Jim to refill for me with a new scent. I smelled lots of the candles they had in stock and had such a hard time deciding what to get. Chris helped point me in the direction of some nice floral scents ( I selected the magnolia and peony) for 1 friend and then a birthday smell for a birthday present. I ended up purchasing 2 candles and I dropped off the empty glass jar for pick up later in the week. I also grabbed a pack of the max melts (faith, trust and pixie dust). With the help of Chris, I decided to fill the glass jar with the cashmere scent as it was something new to me and I loved the way it smelled. A few days after dropping off the glass jar, Chris texted to let me know the candle was ready for pick up. I stopped in to pay for my order and as soon as I got home, I started to burn the candle! It smells amazing in my home. I will continue to support this small business and hope you will too!

This place!The scents, the space, the owners and their missions is exactly why I support local!We had a Yelp event here and I had to stop by many times after to support this company. They offer a wide variety of scents but my favorite thing about this place is that they offer to fill a candle in any container! And old heirloom glass, a homemade piece of art, an old candle container, they will refill it at a very fair price!They continue to support local charities and always give back. This is an amazing business and great owners behind it!

Love their candles and everyone is always so nice and helpful. I had a candle I had bought of theirs that they no longer sold but they made a special one just for me! Extremely nice people!! They always have a wide range of scents too so you'll find something you'll love.

I love this place! Chris is so nice and shares her love and knowledge with everyone. We hosted an event with her to make our own candles and we are hosting another one again in February. These candles are now the only thing I burn in my apartment. I even got some more for Christmas from my boyfriend because he loves the scents so much too!

Love urban candle! The owners are the most down to earth individuals. They do so much for the community here in STL. Before I went to the shop I didn't even realize I already had a candle from them. I had bought it while at a fundraising dinner for Operation Food Search!What an amazing business. Awesome owners. Delicious smelling candles!

What a great, locally owned shop! The owners and staff are so friendly and happy to help find the right scent for you! They also take great pride in their candles and are eager to talk about their process and focus on quality and clean burning.There are tons of scents to choose from, from clean to fruity to floral and beyond. They also have the option for you to bring your own containers in and they will fill them with the scent of your choice. Prices are very reasonable for a quality candle.They are also able to host private, small group candle making classes. I was able to do this and had a great time! It was so fun to pick my own scents and pick up my own candle a few days later.

I actually visited their new location at 4920 Hampton. Upon entering, I was delighted with delicious scents. Staff was super friendly and allowed me to browse independently. Great selection of handcrafted candles, soaps and related gift items. Everything was neatly displayed and prices were moderate and clearly visible. My small purchase was beautifully gift bagged. Currently, the hours are restricted to Saturday and Sunday. Perhaps availability will be extended for the upcoming holiday season.

My pictures are on my phone but I can type a better review on my laptop so I'll add them later. I thought this was just the greatest interactive experience! First of all, great smells and who doesn't love a candle. I have no idea what scents I picked but I knew it was going to smell great no matter what based on the candle. The space was just big enough to accommodate everybody and it was a really nice event. I got to interact with different people and some of the same people I've met before. Charcuterie cups were cute and portable and I downed mine at home while studying. Can't wait to pick my candle up tomorrow and start lighting it up! Wait, this isn't the right statement but I'm so tired from studying for finals that I don't have a better saying.

Burning for Urban Candle!! I love this spot on Macklind! It is so quaint and has a cozy community feeling. The candles are amazing quality and there is truly a scent for everyone!! I'm a huge candle person, and whenever anyone asks me where to get one, this is always my first suggestion. This visit I picked up Hibiscus Palm for some summer vibes. If you're also into some summer scents, they have a ton! Floral, fruity, and "salt on the rim" which was tempting for me- margarita candle is on brand for me! The owners, Chris and Jim, are some of the kindest people and have a ton of pride in their establishment! It shines through their customer service and kindness they show to each person that comes in the door. Highly recommend checking them out if you haven't done so yet! Burn on STL :)

Chris and Jim were SO AMAZING while helping with my custom candle order. They had great customer service and communication. My candles are such great quality and exactly what I envisioned.
