While wandering the Borough Market for the first time, my friend casually asked if I enjoy licorice. When I nearly cut her off with an enthusiastic "Yes!," she directed me to Sweet Roots.
I probably took two to three minutes just to soak all of their offerings in visually. Then I inquired about purchasing a variety bag. While they had some already mixed for £4, I could mix my own at a price of £2/100g.
I sampled flavors including toffee, honeycomb, mint, and chili. They had several salty varieties as well but I've learned to avoid those. They also had several other products including jams and hard candies/mints.
The shop owners answered our questions and provided pleasant service. Bring your licorice-loving friends here if you want to see them wide-eyed and big-grinned. read more
