These guys have a veritable treasure trove of Libby's canned pumpkin on the bottom shelf in the…read moreback. This discovery saved my toosh for Thanksgiving this year because USA Foods in Moorabbin screwed up my order and shorted me my canned pumpkin and I didn't realize it until the last minute. So, hooray for these guys! They made it possible for us to have traditional American pumpkin pie at our Aussie thanksgiving :) And now I have another can for Christmas, too! As for the other stuff they offer here, seemed like a bunch of junky sugary American cereals, sodas, and candies. And uniquely American things too, like graham crackers. I want to go back and peruse their sauces and stuff more closely and see if they have any Cajun stuff too, but what I saw briefly in my quick frenzied quest for canned pumpkin led me to believe it's mostly junk food here. Which is totally acceptable -- I just hope Australians don't judge us Americans based on the stuff they sell here, ha! We don't all eat like we're one snack away from diabetes, I swear. Price-wise, this place seemed comparable to or cheaper than USA Foods. It's a lot smaller, though -- really just a hole-in-the-wall. Honestly, I prefer Prahran Convenience for cheap imported foods from the U.S. and elsewhere, but this place is a bit more U.S.-focused than Prahran Convenience so if you're looking for a distinctly American product, you might want to try here first.

This delightful little sweets shop appears like its been transferred directly from the set of Willa…read moreWonka, it looks just like a traditional candy store and is jam packed full of everything, from boxed choc favorite's including Cadbury's and Lindt, fairy floss, lollies...in fact any thing confectionery can be found here. You'll feel like you've died and gone to sweet tooth heaven the moment you walk in the door! My little girl loves going in and selecting a small bucket, which she can fill with whatever her heart desires. For around $5 she walks out with her sweet basket overflowing, enough to keep her happy for at least three weeks. And they stock all the big name brands you'll find at the supermarket, generally at better prices. There's nothing not to love about this store and the look, feel and ambiance transports me back to my childhood, giving me a little flutter as I start looking around excitedly at what goodies I might find. A word of advice; if you're heading to the Cinema located at the shopping cent re, go to the Sweet Box to stock up on your movie food, you'll get a lot more of a selection than at the Cinema kiosk and save a ton of money.

It is big, and does have lots of lollies, but don't expect quality for low prices. The quality is…read morebelow average at best and the prices more than what I'd expect to pay. There is no comparison in quality to what you get from name brands at the supermarket, the supermarket ones are so much better, and when on special cheap enough. Snakes are like hard plastic, teeth taste funny, milk bottles chewy and not nice for example. I won't be going back.

When you walk in its a bit less inviting. There is a decent range. I found there were a few bags busted open and it could have been a little tidier to be honest. I did buy a few things bulk style (1.3kg's of chico's and snakes!). I didn't find it to be exceptional value for money, but it is cheaper than supermarket. The people working here were lovely too. I think it's worth a look if you're around the area.

The overall effect is very overwhelming, so if you are looking for something specific, it's good practice to ask. The general idea is that you grab a little carry box and scoop, and go nuts filling it with an assortment of sweets. Nearly every loose sweet has the same cost, so you can mix and match. (Jelly Bellys are priced differently, but the signs will alert you not to mix them in...) Apart from the "loose lollies" there are countless packaged sweets and chocolate bars and quick and easy gift boxes too (My birthday is in October thanks...) You can select from a world of sweets - from the UK (try their version of Cadbury chocolate), Holland (Dutch chalk yum!), USA (Reeces Pieces, anyone?) and oh, heaps of others, go have a look! If you are diabetic or gluten free, give them a try as they have candy suitable for you. Yes even gluten free gummi candy! Staff are fast and friendly and you'll leave with a lighter wallet and feeling about 12 years old. Delightful!

American and British candy and snax fans, get your fix on here!…read more When I need a sugar jolt from home, I beeline for the Tootsie Rolls and the occasional pack of Reese's Pieces. Watching a movie eating those makes the experience at least 68% more fun. They also have some really crazy stuff from America which gives me diabetes just looking at them, like Ice Cream Sundae PopTarts for $11 a box. For the peckish Brits, Terry's Choco Orange and wine gums out the wazoo along with some savoury snacks like Hula Hoops and Quavers are on the shelves. If you're going to stock up on Aussie faves, you can probably find it cheaper elsewhere. But for the special and international sucrose seekers, this is your heaven.

You can find the classics like Pez, Junior Mints and Jujyfruits for all you Seinfeld fans out there, or even just settle on some creative lolly pops, push-pops and other sugary sweets. This place will rot your teeth but you'll have a bloody delicious time on the way.

So the justification for the visit was to get some lollies to eat during the film. It is hardly an old fashioned lolly shop, as its name would imply. It is more of an international candy store, full of all kinds of visually delightful sweets and all kind of toys that are some how related to lollies. There is an amazingly, extensive range packed into this small shop. There are American and English soft drinks in the fridge. One reason that C likes the shop is that it allows her to try the stuff that her Facebook friends in America write about. I appreciate their range of Dutch liquorices and find an old favourite - chalk, the white candy covered liquorice - that I have to buy. And C decides to buy some ginger flavored sweets.
