Description

That first whiff when you walk into a café on a cold morning. Fresh beans, steamed milk, something sweet baking in the back. This coffee candle bottles exactly that. Cafecito fills your space with warm coffee, creamy dulce de leche, and a touch of dark cacao. Slightly sweet, slightly spicy, and impossible not to smile at.

Scent: Coffee, dulce de leche, and cacao.

Qualities: Energetic, warm, gourmand.

Inspired by: The warm rise of steam from a coffee that's just been poured. The little pause before the first sip.

Hand-poured in our South Shore of Montreal workshop with 100% natural Canadian soy wax and non-toxic fragrances, this reusable soy candle is a coffee lover's candle in more ways than one: once it's burned down, its ceramic cup becomes the mug you drink your real coffee from.

Find the perfect format

11 oz: Approx. 75–80 hours of pure happiness. Once cleaned, this reusable ceramic cup is the perfect size for your (big) morning coffee. A generous 325 ml mug for the mornings that need it most.

5.5 oz: Approx. 35–40 hours. It becomes your new favourite handle cup. Unique and versatile, perfect as a candle holder or a stylish mug for coffee, tea, or any drink.

3 oz: Approx. 15–20 hours. A speckled gray little cup, the perfect size for your next double espresso. Once the candle is done, use it as a jewellery holder, a small spice jar, a tealight holder, and more.

  • Scent: Coffee, dulce de leche, and cacao
  • Wax: 100% natural soy, made in Canada
  • Wick: Lead-free cotton
  • Container: Reusable ceramic. Dishwasher and microwave safe
  • Available in 3 oz, 5.5 oz, and 11 oz

Why We Like It
  • We love that all our candles are hand-poured with soy wax by our small production team in Montreal.
  • These zero waste candles were created especially to be reusable in order for you to use the cups again and again.
  • That they are ethically made, with products that are natural, non-chemical and gentle to your home and you.
  • That our fragrances are created with care to provide a beautiful ambiance in all of your favorite rooms.
Care / Clean / Reuse
  • We wanted to create a candle that is as zero waste as possible and that you can reuse its container to the maximum. That's why we are proud to introduce our first Candle Cup! It means that once your candle is totally burnt, wash it so it can become your favorite coffee and tea mug!
      
  • Taking care of your candle is very important. Never leave a candle burning unattended, and keep away from windy spaces.  Plus, a candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. How to take care of your candle

  • If you are a candle fan like us, you have probably already noticed that there is always some wax left at the bottom of your jars, which can no longer burn due to the wick. Here are some tips to use the entire candle without losing a single drop of wax!

  • The end of your beautiful Mimi & August candle does not necessarily mean the end of your ceramic jar! In fact, you can reuse and do whatever you want with them! Read our top tips for reusing your candle jars for a zero waste approach.
Why we only use soy wax

We use 100% soy wax for a clean burn. In addition, our soy wax is made in Canada. Our cotton wicks contains no lead or toxic product. Phthalate-free. 100% vegan. No Parabens. We only use non-toxic fragrances. Properties of our 100% natural soy wax.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Cafecito candle smell like?
Cafecito blends fresh coffee with creamy dulce de leche and a touch of cacao slightly sweet, slightly spicy, and perfectly balanced. Customers say it smells like a real coffee shop, never bitter or artificial.
How long does the coffee candle burn?
The 11 oz burns approximately 75–80 hours, the 5.5 oz around 35–40 hours, and the 3 oz approximately 15–20 hours. All sizes are made with 100% natural soy wax for a clean, even burn.
Can I really drink coffee from the cup afterwards?
Yes, that's the whole idea. Once the candle is finished, wash out the ceramic cup and it becomes a mug: the 11 oz for big morning coffees, the 5.5 oz as a handle cup, the 3 oz for espresso. All are dishwasher and microwave safe.
Is Cafecito a good candle for the kitchen?
It's a favourite there, the warm coffee scent is a natural fit for kitchens, breakfast nooks, and home offices. It's also lovely on slow weekend mornings anywhere in the house.

I love this product

I love this product. Those who may have hyper sensitivity to scents, this is for you. Not too strong, burns slowly and evenly. The scent does not smell chemically or harsh. So if you have pets, I’d say it is safe to burn in your house.
Don’t sleep on this product, give it a try!

I ordered these three weeks ago. The copy said it would be tracked. After shipment they said it wouldn’t be tracked AND that they were not liable if it was lost. Plus I paid tariff of 60% of their value … I am not happy. I am housebound and order much of what I need. Things come from all over the world — tracked and quickly.

Yummy scent!

Lovely comforting smell of coffee with sweet notes. I don't drink coffee but have always loved the smell of it. This smells just like a freshly poured cup of coffee. Not strong or overpowering. Great scent for cozy winter days.

We’re so happy it brings those cozy vibes, even for non-coffee drinkers!☕✨ Thanks for sharing your experience!

Perfect Holiday Gifts

I brought these to give to friends for the holidays and each scent was a hit (cafecito, eucalipto & cielo). I like the fact that they can still use the mug after the candle is gone. Also, the Mimi Team was great to ensure I received them on time!

I can't wait for new scents to appear on the site!

I bought four for gifts and kept three!!

I gave one away and then tried one, I couldn’t part with the other two. Absolutely the best smelling candle I’ve ever had (and I’m a posh candle addict!). The mugs they came in are absolutely adorable and will make perfect crème brûlée cups.

Imbattable cafecito

De toutes les bougies, c'est ma préférée. Odeur de café chocolaté, pas trop sucrée. Ca fait que la maison sent le coffee shop.

#1 de mon coeur

Je ne pensais jamais autant aimer une bougie à l'odeur sucrée: j'aime habituellement les fragrances plus douces et subtiles, mais Cafecito sent vraiment trop bon! Le parfum de la bougie n'est pas du tout trop intense pour la maison: c'est réconfortant et enveloppant comme odeur. Ça donne envie de manger un biscuit avec un cappuccino...J'attends avec impatience le restock!
