Bains sweet shop isn't expensive and the owner John is such a lovely man, he is so charismatic, passionate and takes the time to chat and pass on his knowledge of making Tablet. He even went the extra mile and sent me the recipe which is amazing! I plan to make it with my niece and hope it turns out half as good as Bains tablet. The kids love it, I love it and I will be stocking up on treats for xmas or buying gift vouchers for a later date. I highly recommend visiting and don't worry if you can't get to the shop you can always order online and buy some of those old favourites from your childhood as a gift for yourself or for someone else you know who has a sweet tooth. Bains literally has all sweets and treats imaginable!

What a cute little sweetie haven, you will be spoilt for choice with all the sugary treats here. It…read moreseems that these retro sweet shops are becoming a growing trend and seem to be popping up all over the place. Lickety Splits definitely has a lot more character than most and if it's wedding favours, gifts, childrens party bags or just some sweets for yourself you don't have to look any further. It's a really nice idea for wedding favours and all you need to do is choose what kind of sweets it is you're after and Lickety Splits will gift wrap everything into little favours, very cute. The decor is gorgeous with wooden flooring, quirky tables and polka dot patterns, it's very bright and airy and all the sweets are organised in glass tubs on fresh white painted shelves. My favourite sweeties have to be the little chocolate cups they're so addictive and moreish. I only found out about this place last week but I think I'll be popping in quite a bit now I know it's there, I could go for some fried eggs just now actually.

The lady in the shop was very knowledgable about her stock. She was able to match people with their local sweets and talk a lot about the changes sweets have gone through over the years (no more cocaine on our sweeties!!). The gallery/gift shop area was a nice little browse too. The shop is very small so our group of 10 was a bit squashed when some other shoppers arrived. The shop is dog friendly and had some water and food outside for any visiting pooches!

Everything from Edinburgh Rock & Bon Bon's to sour pineapples & foam strawberries. I could have spent ages looking around this shop. For someone who can't remember a lot of these sweets it was really nice to see all of them together in one shop. The ice cream counter looked fantastic and had I not forgotten to take money out and hadn't a clue where a cash machine was, I would have came out of here with a very big smile on my face and a very large dent in my wallet.

What an absolutely adorable shop! On visiting North Berwick, we were wandering the quaint and…read morecolorful streets when we saw what appeared to be a visage from the past: an old-fashioned candy shop. Unable to resist, we stepped inside and scoped out the walls and walls of candy. It's hard to make a decision when faced with so much! I ended up purchasing two small pieces of fudge and was surprised by the extremely reasonable price upon their weighing. Wish I'd had more time (and it hadn't been so cold!) so I could have tried the icy treats. :) If you like candy, sweet little old shop ladies, or cute shops, this place is worth a stop in.

The shop is so handy for all the schools and most of the school chlidren in the area have Happy Shopper paper bags in their pockets. At Christmas they have a great selection of chocolate oranges, jelly fruits, toblerones, Belgian sea shells and all the confectionery that you associate with the festive season. In fact you probably don't eat them from one year toi the next. Go for the nostalgia, stay for the tooth decay.

Unfortunately the staff were very rude and a member of staff said to another girl E***e make sure you are facing pointing back and forth at us, she replied with OH. I walked walked out after alerting my friend to what was said. the girl with dark hair shouts out the door bye and thanks. Not a nice way to treat customers especially visitors to the town. Some staff training would probably benefit the employees. I myself have worked in retail and my friend works in security so somehow I don't think we are going to steal. Will never visit again and will make friends and family aware of the poor customer service received

They do all sorts of combinations and whilst the marshmallow kebab dipped in melted chocolate is a favourite of many, that's a little bit of a sugar overload in my opinion. I opted for a strawberry kebab instead, which was heavenly but I have two reservations; I feel like I could have recreated it at home with a bar of good quality chocolate and some strawberries from Tescos. Whatsmore, it was quite messy to eat. It's not that pricey, and worth a try. Just be armed with a lotttt of tissue paper!
