Birdwoods Sweet Shop is one part of Birdwoods Gallery and Cafe, located in Havelock North.
We looked around the gallery, real fruit ice cream shop and cafe, however, they only have plunger coffee available, so we had coffee elsewhere. We did enjoy checking out their old fashioned sweet shop. I felt like a child all over again!
Memories flooded back of afternoons spent running down to the dairy to buy tons of lollies and the bubblegum with the stick-on tattoos inside.
Birdwoods Sweet Shop has a wide range of confectionery - rows and rows of jars filled with sweets, like gobstoppers, giant marshmallows of all different shapes and flavours, jubes, jet planes, milk bottles, bon bons, jaffas, plus gummi pizza and hamburgers, spaceman, giant chocolate fish and bubblegum.
While I wanted to buy one of everything, I chose a delicious dark chocolate marshmallow filled slice (above) and some lollies to take back home. read more
