    The Cookie Box is a nice little shop. It seems to be a proper hit with the teenagers around Belfast, as I have often seen a queue out the door consisting of manly kids around the age of 15. Inside it is tiny, with just enough room really for a counter and a coffee machine. It is packed full of home made cookies of all varieties, every so often you may even find them selling a limited edition special cookie. All there coffee is fair trade which is nice to know. As well as a decent cup of coffee they sell cookie milkshakes and I have to say, I am not really sure what to make of them. I am kind of a traditionalist when it comes to cookies and milk, preferring them separate and not mashed together, but you never know, it could be your thing.

    The cookie box appears to be where all the weekend shoppers go to get their diabetes inducing, super unhealthy, always tasty lunch time treats. The place itself is tiny, only room for the counter and its display of almost every cookie variety I could think of. This could make the queue stretching outside seem larger than it actually is. I'm an old school chocolate chip guy and was pleased with what I got. It was a big cookie, whats not to be pleased about. As Colm H mentioned, they offer a cookie milkshake, but I'm with him. I'll leave my stomach as the only destination where the milk and cookies will come together. You can get coffee and cookies in any of the coffee shops in Belfast with the added advantage of being able to sit down. I'm not to sure why people would want to go here instead, apart from having a very specific taste in cookies that requires a large selection.

    Is this place ever not busy? They don't have a walk in shop area, they don't have any seating and they don't really have any impressive décor but what they do have is a massive selection of some of the yummiest, scrumptious, most delicious milkshakes you have ever tasted. This place is a big hit with the kids who hang around Belfast so be prepared to queue and listen to the skater dudes and emo kids chatting jive. Once you are at the front the selection is awesome I went for a Malteaser milkshake. I stood back and watched as the very hygienically dressed bloke behind the counter lifted a massive handful of Malteasers and bunged them in the blender with two big scoops of ice cream (my diet kind of went out the window, but in my defence milkshakes have milk in them!) the taste and texture was divine and it doesn't surprise me for a second that this place is always busy. Someone also told me the cookie box sells cookies - I hadn't even noticed I was so blinded by the milkshakes. Maybe I'll go back tomorrow for a cookie... sack the diet!

    See all

    I have never left Stewart Millers empty handed. I'm not kiddin', honestly. It's like some kind of…read moremagnetic force which leaves me completely helpless and powerless, removing all inhibitions and barriers which prevent me from purchasing extreme numbers of goods from this fave store of mine. Or maybe that's just me shopping normally... Anyhow, Stewart Miller is a bargainous store which is primarily a newsagent and confectioners, but is also a bookshop, cardshop and toyshop. I've found books for peanuts, excellent sweetie deals, and, when I was younger, it was my first stop for TY Beanie Babies (remember those?! I still have an absolute ton of them stashed away in my wardrobe...couldn't bear [excuse the pun] to part with them quite yet). The Holywood store is undoubtedly my favourite. The toy section is huge, and they are genuinely well-priced (not always super cheap), top-quality playthings. The card section is extremely well-stocked, with a huge variety to choose from, and at reasonable prices. The book section is my favourite - I've gotten presents for my mum and dad for next to nothing, and even picked up a football book for £1.99 from £12.99 today, and I've found travel books for a fiver. Oooh, its a good 'un.

    I'm lovin it. This gem on the Holywood main street has some of my favourite everyday treats -…read moreglossy mags, cold drinks and chick lit style books at very good prices. It also keeps the kids very happy as it has the best selection of football trading cards I've ever come across. My favourite thing about Stewart Millar is the magazine and comic selection. One whole wall of the front section is given over to mags and comics which means that I can happily browse Marie Claire and 25 Beautiful Homes and the kids can look at the Beano (yes it still exists) and Shoot! before making our choices. And there are none of those shouty 'This is not a library' signs either. At the back of the shop are the toys - good selection of lego- and books. The books are worth a particular mention as the prices are great. Some of the not quite latest releases can be snaffled at Tesco-esque prices which certainly floats my boat. There's a good selection of kids books too, especially quite unusual activity and pop up books which are always good for Christmas presents. All I need to do now is stop accidentally calling it Stuart Little which makes the kids fall about laughing every time as Stuart Little is of course a talking mouse. It's happened, I've become an Embarrassing Mum.

Among other things there is high quality bacon and locally produced smoked salmon. All sortsof specialised ingredients are likely to be here with things you don't find often such as the Canadian Clover Crest honey which I bought. The only trouble for me is that Arcadia is so far away up the traffic laden Lisburn Road though the longish opening hours are helpful. Mind you, perhaps it is just as well as I'd be overspending far too much.

    Arcadia is quite possibly one of the best finds I have had the pleasure of discovering while…read morewriting my reviews. I'm not up on my deli / speciality foods, nor do I know my Perches from my Pollocks (apparently types of fish...yeah, I didn't know that either) but even I realised the extent of Arcadia's wonderfulness. Plus they sell American sweets. No longer was I interested in the Snappers or the Sea Breams (yep, more fish), the Gruyere or the Gouda (cheese this time)...I eyes were solely fixed on the sweetie selection. Picking up a packet of peanut butter M&Ms (I don't like peanut butter, nor do I like M&Ms), the feeling of the novelty of purchasing something that is so highly sought after over here overcame me. And so, they were bought for the grand price of £1.49. My sister, on the other hand, eyes popping out of her head, was visibly distressed by the varied and unusual choice of confectionery which lay before her. Well, Willy Wonka was the lucky man this particular day, and she selected a packet of 'Wonka Nerds'. And now I am officially going to immigrate to the USA. Ohhh, these are good. These are really, really good. Tiny drops of wild cherry and watermelon explode with flavour the moment you pop them in your mouth and start chewing. It's been nice knowing you all...I'll see you on the other side. (Of the ocean).
