This iconic Greek Diner NY Coffee Cup Candle is the perfect way to bring back the nostalgia of coffee-to-go from your favorite Greek diner.

When Greek immigrants arrived in New York in the early part of the last century, they brought their coffee culture along with them, giving birth to the city’s ubiquitous Greek diners and sidewalk pushcarts. In 1963, the Sherri Cup Company set out to produce a to-go coffee cup that would appeal to the Greek vendors. Marketing director Leslie Buck dreamed up a motif that included blue-and-white colors from the flag of Greece. His message, WE ARE HAPPY TO SERVE YOU, was printed in Greek-style letters, adorned with a trio of steaming, mustard-yellow cups, flanked by ancient “Anthora” urns, and framed with a Greek Key pattern.

My Papou’s first restaurant was a coffee shop in Hartford, Connecticut on Allyn Street, named Allyn’s Coffee Pot and was the inspiration for this candle.

This coffee scented soy candle comes in a 3 ounce ceramic espresso cup with the look of a swirl of cream on top.  After the candle has burned down, remove the wick, clean and use the cup as kafedaki,  a demitasse or espresso cup to enjoy your favorite Greek coffee!

Cup is Microwave and Dishwasher safe after cleaned.

The cup is 3 ounces and 2 3/4” tall.

Wax Melts are made with Soy and Beeswax and shimmer when melted.   Use Wax Melts in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions of your unit.

Hand poured in small batches in my small home studio.
