Sweet Tooth is a fairly new sweet shop (so new, actually, that the proper sign isn't up yet) on Cowbridge Road East that sits across the road from Victoria Park. A lovely older couple sat smiling behind the counter, poised for a bit of chit chat about the weather (Cardiff was experiencing rare sunshine that day so it was worth mentioning). Sweet Tooth sells your usual array of chocolates like Cadbury et al, but also carries massive plastic containers of pick and mix sweets at a reasonable rate of 80p per 100g. Also on offer are a selection of drinks, crisps, games and toys, making it a delightful detour on your way back from nearby Victoria Park. Of course, I couldn't walk out of there empty-handed, so I traded my 17p for a Cadbury Freddo, one of the diet staples in my marathon-training program.
