Cuppa Candles
About
Behind Cuppa Candles in Syracuse is Sarah, a one-woman candle company who pours soy wax candles. The idea took shape in 2015 when she went looking for an eco-friendly alternative to standard candle-making supplies, and the upcycled mug candle, the original cuppa, was born. It is a small operation with a lot of personality.
The line has since grown to include jarred candles, flame-free home fragrances and custom scents. The shop also runs downtown Syracuse’s first DIY Candle Bar inside McCarthy Mercantile, where visitors build a custom blend and pour their own candle when they are ready.
What to Know
- The Candle Bar is walk-in friendly for groups of up to four or five people.
- Larger groups, such as birthdays, bachelorettes or team-building, can reserve a Private Pour.
- The original product was the upcycled mug candle, which still turns up in the lineup.
