This is a cute place to stop for an hour. We met Santa in his workshop, wearing a Hawaiian shirt for the summer, working away on his Naughty and Nice List and he will even look up your name and see which side of the list you are on! Adorable! Ate some delicious fudge, wandered around the shops a bit.... More

There was jewerly and what appeared to be Vera Bradley bags. There was a toy and general store. There was a Christmas shop. There was a clearance section also and a kiosk with... More

What can I say? It is a Yankee Candle Store on steroids! I love that they have scents that We don't have in our local store. I liked all the separate areas like the Christmas shop and that general store type area too. The employees here are super friendly and available throughout the store. They usually have sweet specials going... More

It was fun for the whole family. We spent an hour smelling all the scents. The kids made their own candle and they met Santa Claus. My husband liked the men's scents such as bacon. I would not come in here looking for a bargain though. It's just a fun shopping experience.

Expected better sale prices. Did buy one large on sale, got it home and lite it NO fragrance left. BEWARE!!!! It was obviously an old candle they were pushing. Probably 50 of them for $10 each. No bargain if no fragrance. Impressive store fun to look around but no bargains. I do better at home with a Hallmark discount coupon.

I usually only buy yankee candle with a coupon I expected to get the same great deal at the flagship, but I wasn't feeling the deal $17 for large, $8 for small in clearance. I can get them cheaper than that at the outlets in Queenstowne or Hagerstown. Yes, the wife and I are candle "junkies" and we love yankee... More

We often stop in Yankee Candles in Williamsburg, but it took a visit with a first timer to remind us that it can be an overwhelming experience. First off, there is every scent of candle that you can imagine, and many you couldn't imagin, like 2x4 or bacon. Besides candles, there is a general store, a Christmas section, home wares,... More

Yankee Candle is amazing! It has something for everyone. It's not just candles- they have fresh fudge, popcorn and a snack bar. They have a childrens store where you can buy anything you can think of, along with general store that offers things like country cookbooks, kitchen things and even and place that sells all sorts of Christmas ornaments. Great... More

This place is such fun. Yes...there are candles (LOTS of them).....some already made and some you can make on your own. But there is also a "town center".......looks like you are walking around a town (complete with sky and other fun things to see)...and you can find lots of other merchandise....toys, home decor, garden items, Christmas items (in a store...

We had no idea this store was here, we stumbled across it while we waited for a table at the Carraba's next door. I'm a dude, work on cars and love football, but this place was really neat. Lots of stuff to see and smell. Foods, ideas for decorating the house and the garage too! You could spend over an... More
