​My husband and I LOVE Oak Lane candles! First of all, the quality of the product itself is incredible. All of the scents are amazing AND the quality of the ingredients means we know they are totally safe to use without worrying about yucky chemicals. Secondly, the owner of the store does a phenomenal job of going above and beyond. My husband and I do not live in Ames and were in town Saturday for an event. We were hoping to stock back up on the wax melts but weren’t available until after the shop had closed for the day. I messaged the owner and she came to the shop after hours and let us purchase what we wanted outside of her business hours. The products themselves are enough of a reason to visit Oak Lane Candle Co, but the service is unbelievable as well. Please visit this store, YOU WILL NOT regret it!!

​My favorite scent memory was bringing home my baby girl and walking into a house that smelled of pineapple. My best friend had stopped by with a pineapple candle just before we walked in the door. I haven’t been able to capture that scent until I visited Oak Lane Candle Company. They have the best pineapple candle! It takes me back to that day every time I smell it.

​Just bought the Blood Orange candle at the Ames Farmer’s Market and love it! I’m sensitive to scents and perfumes, and the candle has been burning next to me for over 30 minutes, leaving a soft orange scent in the air. We’ll stop by again for more of these really nice candles!
