Exactly as I recall them as a little kid growing up in Letchworth, Hertfordshire. All the old sweets/candy from wwaaaayyyyy back! Sherbert fountains, peanut brittle, rhubarb and custard, lemon drops and soooooo much more! Love it - so nostalgic Yes they have new products too including various Harry Potter specials (not for me thanks). All sorts of licorice and licorice allsorts!

It has a mix of the self-consciously retro, the achingly old-fashioned, classic penny chews, mix-up bags sold by weight, standard choc and a few American imports. Along with a few responsibly juxtaposed items of tobacco paraphernalia, there are also those types of sweets for which you must fiddle with some contraption or other to mastermind increasingly overblown dispensing - you know, bubblegum coming out like a coiled tape measure, for when you absolutely positively have to play with your food. Incredibly helpful staff aid the overall fun vibe at this tiny spot, which is about blowing not very much at all on empty calories which taste like a raspberry proposing to an orange during a romantic visit to custard. It prompted one giddy schoolboy during a recent visit to say to the vendor: 'keep the change'. It all proves the lyrics of the song: The candy man CAN!

All things American all in the name of 'candy' on the middle mall Debenhams end :-)…read moreOnly a small stall but a nice selection of candy to make you smile. Its always nice to have a treat and this stall has plenty with a few not seen before yummies too. Today at last I got a packet of Peanut Butter M&Ms as recommended by Desta H and I'm looking forward to trying them (^_^). Noticed a few things I need to try esspecially #TAB (brings back memories from the 70's) I brought my son a Million Dollar Bar Chocolate - I would recommend this, I only had 2 squares and it was luxuriously creamy - scrummy. At £2.50 a bar, as a treat I'd say go for it :-)

It's the pun that got me here, but it's the sweets that keep me coming back…read more As the name suggests this place's sole agenda is to sell us Brummies the finest confectionary from the US of A. Whilst Birmingham has done so much for English chocolate already, it's hard not to feel like rationing is still on when you look at all the exotic and gawdy wrappings and packaging from the American brands. Our British sweeties feel a bit bland in comparison. As Yankees is also essentially a little cart, the shop further taps into a neat sense of by-gone Americana. It feels like a tornado has picked this place up from the Magic Kingdom and dropped it here. I fully expect to hear a barbershop quartet start up as I nibble, suck and chew. Just a reminder that Yankees also does American crisps and pop - just in case you want to give your sweet tooth a day off. So, all in all, this is the place that makes us jealous of America consumerism again, I wouldn't be surprised if they also stock the nylons and tobacco I can't find.

This place is so sleek and squeaky clean, it builds its own 'bubble gum pop' edge, and has a real…read morecandy American vibe about it. Most of the shop is pink inside and out, and the entire one side of the store is covered in sweets jars. Literally every type of candy that you can imagine is sold here, cola cubes, fizzy sticks, gummy bears, flying saucers, dolly mixtures...The lot. But what's greatest of all, is the price. For 100g, you only have to spend 75p!! At most other sweets shops, you're looking at doubling that cost for the same amount. I was completely shocked when I saw the price tag and had to check twice! As well as the traditional sweets jars, the shop also sells gift wrapped selections of sweets that are tied together with a ribbon and bow. These cost between £6 and £9 depending on the size of the parcel and the amount of sweets included. The thoughtful aesthetics and creative design of the gift wraps are absolutely perfect to give people as a unique present. Additional to gift wraps, they sell mugs full of sweets, which also look great as birthday gifts. The staff certainly know how to keep their store looking brand spanking new too, considering it has been open since December 2011. And their ditzy humour and light hearted approach really makes the whole sweet shopping experience an enjoyable and memorable one!

If you've a sweet tooth it's worth popping in as behind the counter they have a huge selection of traditional sweets such as dolly mixtures, pineapple cubes and sherbert lemons which are pretty cheaply priced as you can get 100g of sweets for 75p! What makes them stand out from other local sweet shops is that you can buy larger amounts in gift wrapped parcels or served in mugs or hampers. If you've got a wedding or a birthday party coming up you can even hire a sweet cart from here for the occasion the price varies depending on how many sweets you want and if you're also hiring glassware to serve them in. Ithink the minimum price was around £100.

The staff offer a very impressive and unique gift-wrapping service, which includes either a store-themed envelope or mini sweet-box to cushion your tasty purchase, and a blank card allowing you to address it to a friend as a present! The shop is well laid-out and acts as part-confectionary store and part-coffee shop, with very reasonable tea and coffee prices and a pleasant, friendly atmosphere. The vibe inside doesn't quite match the old-English splendour of Jen's Sweet Shop next door, but Treat Street's customer service is second to none and it's exclusively diverse stock delves beyond the world of sweets and into rare and unusual chocolate bars.

I know there are a lot of stalls around Birmingham that sell sweets like this but nothing compares to Sweets from Heaven because they have a larger range than most. I think the prices are reasonable and some of the sweets from previous eras, like pear drops, are cheaper than other places as well. To me food is an art form and I love how creative and artistic some of the sweets look! The staff are very friendly. The shop is quiet small and when it gets busy it can feel like there's hardly any room; especially on a Saturday afternoon with the parents treating their children. I think the products make Sweets from Heaven worth the visit and would recommend them to anybody who enjoys sweets.

There seems to have been a recent explosion in small confectionary stands, particularly in shopping centres, selling American soft drinks and sweets, but I'd encourage you to stick to the established businesses in Birmingham such as Sweets from Heaven and Cyber Candy. Sweets from Heaven have a much greater range of stock than these stalls, and because they're older and have a more permanent business model, meaning cheaper prices for you and me. Because of the location, Sweets from Heaven can feel a bit chaotic (it's got as many entrances as it does shelf space), and with any more than five or six people inside, it starts to feel very crowded, and makes for difficult browsing, but it's worth the angst.

You can buy sweets or chocolates that you haven't seen for a while or stock up on all your favourites. I love the clear packaging your sweets are wrapped in to take home.

Located in the heart of the Chester city centre, a must for tourists or the locals.

It may be quite a small store, but the vast array of different kinds of sweets more than makes up for the cramped surroundings. the staff are really friendly and know everything there is to know about their sweets. which is ideal if you are buying fro someone with allergies.

Though I haven't actually been able to justify buying anything, I imagine it would appeal to anyone craving an American treat (you really can't find these products many other places, and you're spoiled for choice)!
