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

This place puts all the over priced cutesy sweetie shops in Glasgow to shame , hang thy head in…read moreshame t'other places, bow and behold the true king/queen of the Glasgow sweetie shops. 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!!

You can't pass The Sweetie Shop without being drawn in. With the hyperactive flourescent…read moregreen/yellow/pink sign and the selection of intoxicating candy in the window, you find yourself being guided in....those crafty bandits! 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.

My niece and I love visiting Bains sweet shop for obvious reasons, its so colourful and inviting…read morefrom the outside and the inside, its like stepping into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Bains sweet shop isn't expensive and the owner John is such a lovely man, he is so charismatic, passionate and takes the time to chat and pass on his knowledge of making Tablet. He even went the extra mile and sent me the recipe which is amazing! I plan to make it with my niece and hope it turns out half as good as Bains tablet. The kids love it, I love it and I will be stocking up on treats for xmas or buying gift vouchers for a later date. 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. Bains literally has all sweets and treats imaginable!

What a cute little sweetie haven, you will be spoilt for choice with all the sugary treats here. It…read moreseems that these retro sweet shops are becoming a growing trend and seem to be popping up all over the place. 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.

Stopped at this shop as part of the Chocolate Tour of Edinburgh. It's a fab mix between an…read moreauthentic wee sweetie shop, a gallery and a gift shop. The lady in the shop was very knowledgable about her stock. She was able to match people with their local sweets and talk a lot about the changes sweets have gone through over the years (no more cocaine on our sweeties!!). 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!

Just inside the Savoy Centre on Sauchiehall Street (don't worry, you won't have to venture too far…read moreinside) you will find Sweet Dreams, which is a delightfully old fashioned tiny sweet shop. It advertises it's presence with one of those bright pink neon signs, shaped into a sweet. What can I say? It worked for me. Sweet Dreams is more of an alcove than a shop really, but is nevertheless stacked full with jars containing probably pretty much every type of sweet that you can think of. You'll also find such delights as gingerbread houses and candy canes. Yum. The lady that works there is friendly and helpful - without jumping down your throat too much. She gave us plenty of time to choose what we wanted (it's difficult when there is so much to choose from!) and when we'd finally made up our minds, we found that it was pretty well priced as well. Those of you who have a sweet tooth, it's probably worth making a quick dash into the Savoy Centre to visit Sweet Dreams!

Instead, I will merely comment on the fact that this is the sort of traditional proprietor of goodies that delights the inner child in us all.
