I've only visited the Olde Sweet Shoppe once but was immediately impressed. For one thing is the effort that has gone into both the visual presentation of the store as well as the variety of goods that lies within. Much has been said about the decline of the high street in Tywyn, at one point the story making front page news of the local newspaper. Yes, visually the shop is a breath of fresh air to an otherwise stale high street that's in desperate need of a kick up the arse. As for content I bought two items rather hurriedly. One, my favourite, a bag of white chocolate buttons covered in hundreds and thousands. Creamy and very indulgent. The other a bag of those sherbet flying saucer thingies you used be easily available when I was younger. They were quite fun and resurrected a little nostalgia from within. Service. It's early days for the business so I shalln't be harsh. I was served by an indifferent teenage girl who had that 'this is soooo beneath me' expression written all over her face. She was polite but insincere. Like I say, this was quite a rushed encounter and I intend to give the place a propper going over sometime this week, I have ran out of white chocolate buttons. read more
