    I feel like a little kid every time I visit this sweet shop…read more It really does take me back down memory lane. Everything is presented beautifully and the choices are amazing. You can buy sweets or chocolates that you haven't seen for a while or stock up on all your favourites. I love the clear packaging your sweets are wrapped in to take home. They have a few sugar free items too so not everything is bad for your teeth. They have goody bags for kids and hampers as gifts. Located in the heart of the Chester city centre, a must for tourists or the locals.

    I love this shop! Whenever i have a crazy sweety craving, i…read morecome to this shop and usually find what i was wanting, even if i didnt know i wanted it. this is the place to go to find soem of the old sweets from when you were a child that you cant find anymore. Its also a great place to go to get those last minute gifts you forget about. they have sweetie gift sets made up, and some hampers, all at reasonable prices. these are usually seasonable so for example, at halloween, you can find little sets with halloween sweets and the same at christmas. It may be quite a small store, but the vast array of different kinds of sweets more than makes up for the cramped surroundings. the staff are really friendly and know everything there is to know about their sweets. which is ideal if you are buying fro someone with allergies.

    Kingdom of Sweets, as suggested by the name is a specialist shop for everything sweets and candy,…read morewith a large pick and mix selection in the middle of the store, they also stock a large selection of American candies, including a small range of Arizona Iced Tea. The first two things that hit me around the store were the pricing and the layout. Pricing: I found the store to be really expensive, to the point my jaw was literally dropped that they'd charge so much, with multiple drinks or even sweets often leaving you with not much change out of £5 or £10, I understand to get product from these countries there are import fees, and they have to make a profit but comparing some of the items, I've seen for under half the price in other retailers, these products might be "rare" as they are American, but compared to online retailers such as AmericanFizz and a similar store in Manchester, Over The Rainbow, this stores just an expensive mess. Comparing one item in particular, here a can of Arizona Iced Tea would set you back £3.99, the RRP in the U.S is 99 cents, meaning once converted into dollars you could buy FIVE and still have change, for the cost of buying one here - it also remains double the price of Over The Rainbow in Manchester. Store Layout: The store does feel a little cramped at times with small, narrow aisles, mainly down to the large pick and mix selection going right down to the middle of the store, combined with mini shelves all over, it makes the store quite offputting before you even look at the price tags. From the outside, the store looks exciting, modern, cool and enticing, but from the inside, it just doesn't match that, kind of like the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium, a beautiful stadium, perhaps one of the best in the country, only to get inside and to realise you actually have to watch Eric Dier and co play. Overall, despite being excited by this store after seeing it for the first time on a recent trip to Liverpool, the overall store layout and pricing is just really awful and off-putting, so I feel only a one-star rating is deserved here, which is a real shame.

    I didn't have a sweet tooth when I was a kid, I'm making up for lost time now!! Shops like these…read moreare dangerous, dangerously good that is.... You see unless you are an obsessive, and I am a recovering obsessive. You cannot go wrong with ye olde sweet shop me hearties!!!!!!! Why? Well I'll tell ya'all. You see to this shop, I cometh and I get excited..eth.... and I buyeth in plentiful supplyeth. I begin my merry journey indulgingeth in sweet pleasures.(ok enough of that) Then there comes a point when you've had so much you feel a bit sick. That is the point of no return, because you never want to set foot in that shop again. Not for a while anyway. The place is....well...It is just a trip down memory lane really as they stock candy you remember from the youthful days of baggy clothing days when boybands ruled the roost, and you'd come home to watch Andy peters and Ed the duck. Those were innocent day indeed, and this is a innocent shop selling innocent sweets that will give you diabetes in 20 years or so, but until then at least you can be happy chappy. So why not, go crazy!!!!

    This is a beautiful little shop, stocking a huge range of the more old fashioned sweets…read more Rhubarb and Custard, Aniseed Balls, Flying Saucers, Fizzy laces, cough candy, cinder toffee, wine gums, snowies, chocolate limes, lemon sherbets.... but to name just a few. The sweets are arranged in rows of jars and look so tempting and tasty you will be drooling as you attempt to order. The staff here are lovely and the seem to enjoy their job. The sweets are inexpensive and of a very high quality. A while back I got a little obsessed with the place and had to ban myself but i think I may have to return soon.
