Exactly as I recall them as a little kid growing up in Letchworth, Hertfordshire. All the old sweets/candy from wwaaaayyyyy back!

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!

But they also had a nice assortment of teas. It made a great place to pick up a gift for my wife, who is an avid tea-lover. The staff there was also quite pleasant which made the visit all the more enjoyable. The only downside I noted was that it was a small shop. The Sunday afternoon I was there, it was quite crowded and difficult to navigate because of the number of bodies inside. But the end result was worth the effort.

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.

They also have a wide range of other candied delights, lovely small boxes of Belgian chocs for low, low prices for example. Furthermore, and not everyone knows this, if you need them they are one of the few places in that particular bit of the city that sells fags, and not just the chocolate ones.

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.

I hadn't been here in over 5 years and was so glad to know the owners are the same and the quality of the food was amazing as always, it is a take away place and they have indian sweets as well as indian snacks, they do a few specialty dishes which just can't be found anywhere else. I would definitely come back here. You can also order over the phone for their specialty dishes so they can reserve it for you as they only make a certain amount a day, great if your travelling up just for the day and want to ensure the products you want are there.

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.
