This shop has been here for many, many years I remember going into the cafe when I was a wee boy…read moreabout five or six at that time (50) years ago it was called little Italy and at that time it had all the ornate fittings from that era, wooden benches and stools even at that time it sold ice cream and sweets all the local children loved the shop the main reason. I think was that the owners were Italian. The current owners are related to the previous ones from fifty years ago. Now onto the sweets they sell, imagine every sweet you can think of from your childhood well it's in this shop I mean from my childhood and including yours oh happy days, I bought " lucky potatoes " and after the first bite I was instantly transported back. 50 years . I'm not sure if there are any other shops like this one but no doubt there is, but this is my favourite one if your ever in the area give it a go you want be disappointed

With the same garish exterior that most of these places have, the sweetie shop has much more in substance than any of its competitors i have ventured, pocket money in hand into. With a whole wall and i mean a whole wall, devoted to jars of loose sweets, this place is a total dream. There is enough sugar in this shop to sweeten an ocean. In addition to the loose sweets there is also the usual assortment of ice cream, choc bars, crisps and the like. A place that is well worth the visit, just don't tell your dentist!!

Better priced than the establishments of this kind in the city centre and with just the same selection, you will leave with an ice cream in one paw, a mix-up of candy crayons and strawberries in the other and chocolate smeared over your face. It will make you feel like a kid who, well, had just been inside a candy shop. And how can that be a bad thing? It is ADHD enducing, but an altogether enjoyable experience. After all, it's tedious to forever be watching those E-numbers.

Lickety Splits definitely has a lot more character than most and if it's wedding favours, gifts, childrens party bags or just some sweets for yourself you don't have to look any further. It's a really nice idea for wedding favours and all you need to do is choose what kind of sweets it is you're after and Lickety Splits will gift wrap everything into little favours, very cute. The decor is gorgeous with wooden flooring, quirky tables and polka dot patterns, it's very bright and airy and all the sweets are organised in glass tubs on fresh white painted shelves. My favourite sweeties have to be the little chocolate cups they're so addictive and moreish. I only found out about this place last week but I think I'll be popping in quite a bit now I know it's there, I could go for some fried eggs just now actually.

The gallery/gift shop area was a nice little browse too. The shop is very small so our group of 10 was a bit squashed when some other shoppers arrived. The shop is dog friendly and had some water and food outside for any visiting pooches!

I highly recommend visiting and don't worry if you can't get to the shop you can always order online and buy some of those old favourites from your childhood as a gift for yourself or for someone else you know who has a sweet tooth.

The top sellers are Thornton's Continental Chocolate boxes (which make an awesome Christmas/birthday present or treat) and their special toffee which I'm sure could be held accountable for many a hefty dentist bill and come in many appetising flavours.

Some shops also have chocolate fountains which are ridiculous yet genius.
Thorntons. Oh, dear, dear Thorntons…read more Here's a confession: I like chocolate. I really do, but Thorntons is not my favourite chocolate in the world, Milka is. However, there's a special South African someone who you can easily bribe with the Fudge Brownie Chocolate from Throntons. Whenever I ask if I should bring him something from the UK, I get that look and the "Only chocolate, please" (and here I was thinking I was sweet enough for him... clearly not haha). They are quite expensive, but luckily they are usually on a Buy 3 for 2 offer. The last time I bought the chocolate from their Buchanan Galleries store, the cashier girl did however not inform me of this - shame I would have bought more, she would have gotten higher sales and the South African would have been even happier, but alas, it wasn't to be. Now, the South African is not the only one who has a thing for Thorntons. My German step-mother has a thing for mints, something the UK is very good at. On a whim I bought her a bag of the Mint Crumbles. Boy, what was I thinking? Now every time I go back to Germany I have to bring at least an entire box of them (the sales lady at this particular shop was so lovely to sell me an entire box of 12 bags, as it would be easier to carry around, bless her cotton socks!) - and I almost sparked a family feud between my Father and her when I sent her a few bags randomly, and my father claimed them to leave them at his house (apparently for her) but when she arrived the following day, he had finished the majority of them. So you have it, Thorntons do amazing chocolate and mint crumbles that the foreigners are crazy about, and the sales assistants (especially in this store) are very helpful and friendly. I like their chocolates, but if I had the choice between Milka and Thorntons, I would always go for the purple cow.

They have quite a fair selection of weird and wonderful ice creams and waffley type things - ferrero rocher, cyrly wurly, daim ice creams for example. I decided on a scoop of curly wurly, strawberry cheesecake and mint choc chip. Not the cheapest ice crem I've ever had - but well worth it. All of them were awesome - not too creamy, not too icey. And tasted perfect! When you go in, it's really dark - but by no means dingy. Once you order, you'll be given a ticket number which is called when your order is ready.

The Wee Bakers provides some welcome relief on a street that is full of nothing but newsagents…read more There is also a few other bakeries further up the street towards Partick, though the Wee Bakers is in my opinion the best of the bunch. The prices are very cheap in the Wee Bakers - for example, it is only £1.55 for a can of Irn Bru, a hot scotch pie and a chocolate chip cookie. There is also a great choice of not only various cakes and pastry food such as sausage rolls and bridies, but also hot soup, filled rolls, tea and coffee. Service is very quick - there is obviously stuff that has already been heated in advance so you don't have to sit and wait for long, though the food is always heated through properly; it's not like in Greggs where they give you a pie that has been sitting out all afternoon and has gone cold. The ladies who work here are also very pleasant and friendly. My only real complaint about this place is that it looks a bit too old and traditional - it would be nice to see the cakes sitting out in more pristine and modern storage trays etc. However, all of the food I have tasted is excellent - the scotch pies in particular taste unique and are possibly the best I've ever eaten (trust me, I've tried them at just about every football ground in Scotland!), while the donuts and cookies are gorgeous, even though I feel terribly guilty every time I indulge in one.
