Aw man. You have to check out this shop - 'tis a thing of beauty! It's one of those places that any…read moreadult could not help but get a little giddy at the thought of entering. Truly, there are other shops that might claim to have that traditional vibe, but I've yet to discover a more traditional-willy-wonka-oliver-old-school kind of sweet shop. As you got in you are surrounded by shelves literally packed with sweets in jars - barley sugars, aniseed balls, chocolate pennies, sugar mice, licorice buttons - I could go on endlessly. I think it was the nostalgia that made it so exciting. There were two counters where both shop assistants had scales and aprons and measured out portions of delight to the happy waiting customers. Prices were pretty reasonable considering, I'd guess, they have the monopoly on the market - certainly in Otley at least! I left with a quarter of aniseed balls and a quarter of shrimps. One very happy camper.

It has very cleverly stocked a mammoth range of sweets that most people will remember from their childhood. It means that most end up purchasing a paper bag of treats, purely down to the nostalgic sugary buzz it brings with it. They have all the retro style sweets such as bon bons of all varieties, rainbow puffs, dib dabs, cola bottles, fizz whizz popping candy, flying saucers, drum sticks etc etc etc....and they also stock some classier goodies such as stem ginger (my grandma's absolute favorite). The staff are very friendly, with their wide eyed sugary stares and massive grins that you imagine to be sticky to the touch. Willy Wonka eat your heart out. They also have a website and the option to purchase from their wide selection online, although I wouldn't suggest that you make a habit of it!
See all
Is soooo glad I have found somewhere to buy sweets from jars. But the proper old sweets that are…read morethe best when sold per 100g in little paper bags!! I was so excited when I finally found this little shop after wandering around the time zone that is Afflecks Palace. This place sells all the favs from dip daps, nerds and wham bars to 10 flavours of bon bons, midget gems, pineapple cubes, lager tops and so on and on and on and on..... all priced at 75p per 100g! They should change the saying from "cheap as chips" to "chip as the sweets in Retro Sweets in Afflecks Palace". A big surprise was the selection of Wonka sweets available. I have only ever seen a few varieties in Selfridges but this was just simply amazing! I can't even remember the names of them there were so many! We came away with a bag full of sweets for only £4 and were well happy! :) Shall be my new fav sugar haven.
If you have a sweet tooth, as I do, and a taste for less generic candy that you find in the corner…read moreshop, you should check this place out. Spoke with two very sweet employees, who permitted me to taste a few candies before committing to purchase. This seemed fair, as they weren't busy and I am American, which meant I wasn't sure what things would taste like. In any case, the prices are reasonable. The staff helpful and kind.

I don't know how famous Brown's Famous Sweet Shop is...I may be well out of the loop but I'm afraid…read moreto say I hadn't heard the word on the street till I recently sauntered past and checked out their sugar-coated wares. YUM. For any sweetie fans Brown's should do the trick. They have many a large plastic jar of colourful scrumptious bits and bobs priced by weight, like in the good old days. Most are priced at 70p per 100g...not too bad...though hard to compare with the sweetie weighing of my childhood as I'm pretty sure the shops still used pounds and ounces or somesuch - we usually bought a quarter. Happy days...when chocolate bars were like 23p! Sigh. They also do 5 packets of crisps for £1 (including Doritos) which seems pretty bargainous considering 1 packet is probably nearing 50p at most shops these days. They also sell bars of chocolate of various sizes, a pre-packed sweetie selection of the kind you'd find in your average newsagent and boxes of chocolates for that quick and easy gift solution. So if that sweet tooth is demanding a feed and you fancy a bit of a trip down memory lane gazing wide-eyed at rows of plastic jars, Brown's Famous Sweet Shop could be just the ticket!
Spaced slightly away from the other competitiors by way of sweet shop in the Market Hall, Brown's…read moresweet shop stands, giving the other side of the market a bit of a sugar rush. With the obligitory jars and jars of old school favourites and newer sweets, there are great deals to be had here. With signs plastered all over the display, you get a rough idea of how much it is you are likely to be charged, which is something that sweet shops have sometimes neglected in the past, in my experience- prompting you to gasp when you realise you've spent over a fiver on sweets... A healthy mix between the old school sweet stall and something a little more up to date, Brown's may not be as 'famous' as it oddly claims to be in it's over ambitious self-proclaimed title, but it's worth the dosh if you have a sweet tooth, and gets a thumbs up from me.

As far as I can tell,…read moregood ice cream can only get better when the ice cream factory and parlour also own the herd of pedigree Guernsey cows that provide the milk and cream. That's how things are done at Brymor. While you can buy Brymor ice cream in a lot of places in Yorkshire I have a soft spot for their parlour at High Jervaulx which I've been coming to since I was a little girl. They specialise in super creamy ice cream, mostly with traditional flavours (no Oreo here, but you'll get rum and raisin) as well as some sorbets. You can have cones or pots, or you can choose one of the indulgent sundaes. They have plenty of space and you can sit in the cafe or buy cartons of ice cream to take home. They also have play areas for children. They sell gifts and cards as well as a few non-ice cream items like milk and cream from the Guernsey herd and local cheese and honey.

It's a teeny tiny shop that sells around 15 different flavours of ice cream including delights such as rhubarb crumble and almond praline, often changing what's on offer.

Prices start from £1.90 for an adult single scoop cone or tub and is perfect for an indulgent treat whilst you stroll around Knaresborough Castle yard just a few minutes away.

It is now a brand known across the globe and you may recognise the blue and silver embossed tins. They were established in 1840 and even export to eight different countries. So you know they obviously have a talent for what they do. And oh yes do they ever. Their toffee and fudge is immaculate. They have tins, bars or boxes. It's an embarrassment of riches. You'll also find traditional sweets of the old school variety. We're talking ace boiled sweets of yesteryear. Throw in jams, chutneys, cakes and biscuits too and you can come away with a dream selection. This is my favourite bit though. They even do sugar free sweets. How good is that! Sweets with less guilt, now we're talking. A place to visit for sure and one that may well make your diet falter. I apologize for that but please invoice my accountant not me for damages

Scoops are very very generous- and if you ask nicely you can try unusual flavours like licorice-blackcurrant or rhubarb-ginger before you buy.

Don't be put off by me describing the building work - it does not spoil the visit at all - I just notice they were doing work. WC - is clean and well presented. I'll come again.

The sweet shop is one of the more old fashioned ones with large jars of sweets on display where you ask for the a quarter of them etc. There's also a more moden selection of sweets just on the counter in front of you. The main attraction however of Suggitts really though has to be the icecream. On a hot day, the queue is literally out the door heaving with cyclists and young families queuing for 99's and ice cream wafers. The cafe part is small and usually very busy. There's a selection of hot drinks and scones on offer as well as some other small cafe bits. I would recommend this to anyone, I have cycled up many a time stopping for a rewarding ice cream on the way home. It's ideal for cyclists, families, young couples and old couples. And if you head just over the road and over the river, there's a walk you can do while you happily munch away on your ice cream. Beware parking is free but Great Ayton is a disc zone in parts. Just be prepared to withstand the queues for this hugely popular shop and you'll get what you waited for.

The novelty of choosing your own selection of sweets to transform scoops of award winning dairy ice-cream into a bespoke milkshake is something not to miss. For me I love the customer service. I can't fault any one of the staff's enthusiasm when interacting with their customers. My kids love this place and can't wait to be served and recognised by every single staff member. Direct conversation and general interaction at there level is amazing and I know how special they feel. Buying sweets has become an experience. I know when there older they will look back fondly on their sweet shop memories in greater scale than I ever did. I should mention the cakes and the coffee! I'm Mr Hazelnut Latte man, and its a fond title I have been honoured with. The selection of hot drinks is amazing, if it's not there then its not worth having. Home made cake selection varies but each as delicious looking as the next. I'd personally recommend the rhubarb bakewell - Its amazing! I hope you visit and enjoy and agree with this review.
