Sun Theory began as a place for candle lovers to refill their favorite vessels and has grown into a thoughtfully curated shop celebrating local artists and women-owned brands. Designed with community at its heart, our space reflects the values we cherish.

I’m excited to continue to offer a welcoming place to discover meaningful gifts, connect with makers, and find a little everyday luxury.

The Bellevue neighborhood has offered us an amazing opportunity to connect with the local community, and to share our passion for local quality products. We are so excited to watch as this neighborhood flourishes, and we hope to grow right alongside them.

Our favorite coffee soda is back in stock! We’ve been big fans of .coffee’s Southern Style Coffee Soda for a while now (it’s like an Arnold Palmer, but with coffee instead of tea) and we’re not surprised to find the Cranberry Lemon Lime is just as delicious.

Swing by the shop on this hot, hot week and give it a try for yourself 🍋‍🟩🍋
