Get to Know Us
The Bibliophile Candle Co. is our family-run bookshop and candle studio in Gahanna, Ohio. Kylie hand-pours every candle, blending scents to capture the worlds of beloved stories, while Justin is usually found talking books with customers and sharing recommendations. What began as a love of stories and a kitchen experiment with wax has grown into a cozy space filled with books, bookish candles, and community events. We believe in the magic of small comforts - lighting a candle, opening a good book, and gathering with friends. Whether you stop by for your next read, a handmade candle, or a cozy event, we’re so glad you’re here.
Our Core Values
Celebrating Literature
Books are at the heart of everything we do, from the stories that inspire our candles to the titles we stock on our shelves.
Building Community
Our shop is a gathering place for readers, makers, and neighbors. We believe stories are best enjoyed together.
Small Comforts
A flickering candle, a hot cup of tea, a favorite book, life’s simplest rituals are often its most meaningful.
At The Bibliophile Candle Co., we believe stories are for everyone. Our shop is a safe, welcoming space for people of all backgrounds and identities. We stand proudly with libraries, public education, and the LGBTQ+ community, and we believe in the freedom to read without fear of censorship.
