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 is a super gimmicky sweet shop, mainly for the tourists in york!…read more it does give a slight ye olde sweetie shoppe feel, as you walk in? but thats where it ends! saw plenty of york fudge, york toffee, boxes of sweets with pictures of various places/landmarks of york. not my kind of sweet shop! they did have a good range of sugar free sweets, and giant gob stoppers, the size of a tennis ball! and any parent buying that for there children, needs there heads looking at! its not a big space, inside the shop, and it has not been open long. but it will appeal to alot of people, mainly tourists!

Boycott this place!…read more I have never encountered as unpleasant a person as the owner/manager of this gallery. In a competitive market, this person should not be supported. There are many excellent and welcoming galleries in York that provide more positive experiences--both for the quality of their art and for their customer service.

Terrible Owner! The…read moreart is okay, nothing special and a lot of the pieces have been in the shop for numerous years. The icing on the cake, however?

I would heavily suggest avoiding this shop, especially if you are visiting York as a holiday/day-trip since he seems to be trying to dampen good days with his own foul mood.
