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.

Tucked into a corner of one of the main apexes of Touchwood shopping centre in Solihull is Sweets…read morefrom Heaven, a sweet shop specialising in those harder to find sweets from foreign lands or bygone eras. 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.

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!

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 place was crowded with tourists (Surprise, surprise) but it doesn't matter. The staff were helpful and proactive at cutting the line down.

I can't wait to drop back in to collect more darling tins, foreign candies and souveneirs for home.

What a delightful candy shop!…read more While on a day trip to Oxford to show my 10yo daughter where she *will* be attending university (hey, a mom can dream!), we happened upon this absolutely wonderful little shop, filled to bursting with every delicious sweet you could imagine! All of the standard favorites: humbugs, sherbet dips, chocolate-covered everything, fruit-shaped everything...you get the idea. But imagine my absolute surprise when I spied a shelf stocked with American candy, cereals, and snacks...including my favorite: Cheetos. Not even 48 hour prior, I was telling my husband that I would go to obscene lengths to have a bag of Cheetos, so strong was my craving for the vile snack food. Little did I know that all I needed to do was go to Oxford and visit Hardy's. Sorted! Now excuse me while I go wash the orange from my fingers...

Prices are reasonable, the frontage is pretty and inside there's an eloquent, old-English vibe, thanks to intricately carved wooden décor and large sweet jars on each wall, both of which circle the shop's central counter. On my visit, the staff greeted me with smiles and I was instantly overwhelmed by the lashings of lush confectionary on display throughout the store. Everything inside looked absolutely delicious and the strawberry sherbet I purchased definitely fulfilled my expectations. This friendly, high street sweet shop is well-stocked, gorgeously atmospheric and definitely worth stopping by next time you visit Boldmere High Street. I can safely say that I'll be visiting again myself very, very soon.

Jens is even decked out like sweet shops were, bright, colourful and mouth watering. Every time I'm in there, I feel like I'm in the opening scene of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory in the sweet shop where the bloke sings Candy Man while dishing out sweets to the kids. Jens is just like that. The real beauty of the shop though is the large selection of sweets on the shelves. Traditional and original sweets, party bags, kiddies favourites there are over 500 different types of retro confectionery Jen tells me. She caters for kiddies parties and weddings. So, if like me you fancy a trip down memory lane when we had proper sweets, get yourself over to Boldmere and pop in to see Jen, she always has a smile on her face, well who wouldn't working there.

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. They have a few sugar free items too so not everything is bad for your teeth. They have goody bags for kids and hampers as gifts. Located in the heart of the Chester city centre, a must for tourists or the locals.

Its also a great place to go to get those last minute gifts you forget about. they have sweetie gift sets made up, and some hampers, all at reasonable prices. these are usually seasonable so for example, at halloween, you can find little sets with halloween sweets and the same at christmas. 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.

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.

I've reviewed some good candy emporiums before, but the range here is astounding. As well as having hundreds of jars of traditional sweets, they have imported sweets and cereals from the States like Tootsie Rolls and Lucky Charms, and more modern sour/tangy sweets like Millions and Nerds. If you don't get on well with sugar, Mary's even sell around ten jars of sugar-free sweets. Top marks go to Mary's for being the only place I've seen to stock Barratt's licorice selection boxes, with licorice watches, sparklers and catherine wheels. They also have balls of mystical goodness with a Harry Potter/Willy Wonka vibe: Invisible gobstoppers. ('You don't see them anywhere else' quips the shop owner.) Talking of the shop owner, he's a joy to talk to and is very much from the same mould as Roald Dahl's aforementioned hero. A previous venture was a Beatles-themes sub-sandwich shop in Solihull called The Yellow Submachine, all kitted out in authentic decking with pieces of machinery adorning the walls! Though sadly the success of that shop was put paid to by Subway, you can count on Mary's to bring you sweet memories for years to come.
