Hooray Monica R - we agree on the spelling! Well, you can imagine this shop right at the end of the Willy Wonka factory tour. Rows upon rows of clear jars containing old style sweets. The assistants are happy to advise and offer little tastings. Your choice of goodies are packaged in retro style paper bags to take away and share. Whether you're looking for some nostalgia about the sweets you grew up with or to discover some new taste sensation, Mrs Kibble's is definitely worth a visit.

There were many photo opportunities and lots of demonstrations as well. The sales people worked for the store and there was no pressure at all. We were there a little under an hour and discovered many new items. Our kids really enjoyed the lego and Wicked themed areas. There is also a cotton candy machine where you can watch it being made through the glass, all automated. We somehow left without purchasing anything due to our inability to take it back home.

I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with not only how this place has survived over the years, but…read moreevolved into a full-blown sit-down café, complete with sweets and treats to compliment their strong Greek coffee. They even have the fanciest gift boxes you've ever seen outside of Fortnum & Mason. Despite once having been solely a chocolate shop, the interior gives off some posh vibes that invite you to stay awhile. Weather permitting, they also have outdoor seating for some ultimate people-watching. The coffee itself could use some improvement, but overall, it isn't terrible. They serve it with a side of chocolates, so you could chew on the sweet merchandise to cut through the bitterness of the overly-roasted java. Service isn't always the fastest if you're sitting down to eat or drink, but it's more of a "come in and stay awhile" kind of place, anyway. If you are coming in to stay a while, however, expect to pay a lot more than the price of your coffee. My £3.60 oat flat white somehow turned into £6.36 when I got my bill. Considering everything you're getting in one stop, as well as the touristy area it's in, however, you could do worse. They even have a washroom, which - if you're familiar with this part of town - can be a Godsend.

When you enter you are dazzled by the bright white lights and walls and of course the wonderfully coloured sweeties and chocolates EVERYWHERE! It really is what sweet dreams are made of and this shop would totally fit in at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory! I would highly recommend spending a good 15/20 minutes here so that you have enough time to route for those truly weird and wonderful treats like the liquorice frogs, salted caramel chews and plopps! They also had some great chocolate and sweet sets - perfect for valentines/Christmas/Easter, basically any celebration or, a treat for yourself! It truly is a wonderful place and whether you're 8 or 80 you will love it!

When I was younger and lived in the UK I absolutely loved Bon Bon's, especially the lemon ones…read more Now I didn't just like any Bon Bon's I enjoyed the traditional ones, none of the imitation brands. The last decade when going back I've never found good ones in a pick n mix or in the bags at the grocery stores, I was only able to find cheaper versions and then I stumbled across Hardy's in London! Wow they have the most delicious Bon Bon's in every flavor you can possibly think of! I needed them to last a while so I bought a pre mixed bag for around 3 pound that had toffee, apple, blue berry, vimto, lemon, strawberry...you name the flavor and they had it! The other cool thing about this shop for UK residents is that they have all the "American" candy along with Flips pretzels, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and other goodies. To me I obviously have this stuff everyday but my local friend was just as excited about the American candy and treats as I was with the bon bon's, we definitely walked out with a sugar high!

If you're planning a trip to London and want something memorable and quintessential, Fortnum & Mason should definitely be on your agenda.

Picked up a multitude of Chocolate Blocks from their buy 3 for £5 special & there wasn't a bad one in the bunch.... if we visited again, I'd want to try their truffles Have to agree w/ Katri S that all the chocolates seemed to taste the same & what was interesting to me was that each started out w/ a weird 1st bite but then settled into yummy creamy chocolate after a few more bites. Guess it took a while for my palate to get used to their recipe? We tried the following & nothing really stood out & screamed * Milk Chocolate Fudge - supposed to have pieces of fudge but all I tasted was a creamy choco bar. It was good * Dark Chocolate Berry Boost - this obviously wasn't for me since I think it's a sin to mix fruit w/ my chocolate but no raving feedback received regarding it being outstanding * Belgian Milk Chocolate - basic milk choco bar * Chili Dark Chocolate - this had very little chili flavor & def no heated afterbite kick * Special Toffee - the toffee was chewy & made my teeth stick together. The best of the bunch * Venezuela Milk Chocolate - this tasted like every other Milk Chocolate bar I tried It was all good & I'd even say it was A-OK, but to rank it as Yay! I'm A Fan, I'd have to be craving it & wanting to seek it out on my next visit & for some reason, I'm just not

Easy, affordable and everyone likes it. Perfect for any occasion. Sometimes it even feels like that all the chocolates tastes a bit the same?

However, if I happen to wander by the shop I am sure to get my chocolates from there rather some other supermarket brand. It's still yummy!

If it's something for the sweet tooth you're after, Julian Graves also has a nice confectionary section containing chocolate peanuts and more.

This shop is Wagashi (Japanese sweetie) HEAVEN!…read more One of the best things about working for a Japanese organisation (even in the UK) is the Japanese concept of omiyage. Whenever Japanese people visit our office, (or when any member of staff goes on holiday, or a business trip) they always bring back some edible gifts for the rest of the staff to munch. Our office has so much that we started an omiyage blog: http://iloveomiyage.tumblr.com/archive I have tried loads and loads of these sweets as lovely visitors bring them to our office...but I hardly ever remember to visit the shop to buy them myself. One of my colleagues is leaving, so yesterday I popped by to buy him some treats. The shop is lovely (and tempting...) with lots of seasonal wagashi along with the constant best sellers. You can take a teeny basket and fill it up with mochi, cake-like sweets and anko-flavoured deliciousness. I love: - If they have them, the Sakura mochi are simply divine. (Mochi filled with a sweet cherry blossom flavour) - Fukuwatashi senbei (A sweet senbei sandwich with creamy stuff in the middle...Nom nom nom) - Tsuya (gorgeous dorayaki, like mini pancakes, filled with anko) - Ayashirabe (white anko-filled manju) - Castella (I think spelled Kasutera here, it's quite nice Japanese version of BOS - boring old sponge) - Maccha mochi (all the best things in one sweet! Anko paste covered in mochi, then dusted with maccha powder...) I'm not so keen on the youkan (blocks of jelly-like stuff)...but all my colleagues love it. *At the moment they have a beautiful display of dolls for Hina-matsuri (girls day), so even if you don't want the sweets, it's worth visiting to see the window display.

We walked past and there were people standing outside and our friend said they sold Japanese sweets…read moreand desserts. I wanted to go in!! Firstly I took photos then looked at what they actually sold and thought I want some!! They sell individual sweets/Mochi/ pancakes etc also boxes. Then I found box sets and went for the £16 one! I was thinking they are expensive sweets so I hope I like them! These are fresh dessert type sweets not like boiled sweets! It is a nice shop, with a couple of seats if you do want to eat in. I've not yet eaten the sweets but I asked how long they last for, and was told they expire that month. So I would say eat them sooner rather than later.
