Hooray Monica R - we agree on the spelling! Well, you can imagine this shop right at the end of the Willy Wonka factory tour. Rows upon rows of clear jars containing old style sweets. The assistants are happy to advise and offer little tastings. Your choice of goodies are packaged in retro style paper bags to take away and share. Whether you're looking for some nostalgia about the sweets you grew up with or to discover some new taste sensation, Mrs Kibble's is definitely worth a visit.

It's well worth it for your kids if you want to visit - nothing like it in the US

There is also a cotton candy machine where you can watch it being made through the glass, all automated. We somehow left without purchasing anything due to our inability to take it back home.

When I was younger and lived in the UK I absolutely loved Bon Bon's, especially the lemon ones…read more Now I didn't just like any Bon Bon's I enjoyed the traditional ones, none of the imitation brands. The last decade when going back I've never found good ones in a pick n mix or in the bags at the grocery stores, I was only able to find cheaper versions and then I stumbled across Hardy's in London! Wow they have the most delicious Bon Bon's in every flavor you can possibly think of! I needed them to last a while so I bought a pre mixed bag for around 3 pound that had toffee, apple, blue berry, vimto, lemon, strawberry...you name the flavor and they had it! The other cool thing about this shop for UK residents is that they have all the "American" candy along with Flips pretzels, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and other goodies. To me I obviously have this stuff everyday but my local friend was just as excited about the American candy and treats as I was with the bon bon's, we definitely walked out with a sugar high!

I will admit up front that I had little knowledge of Fortnum & Mason before my most recent trip to…read moreLondon. I had done high tea before on a previous trip, and mentioned to one of my friends I would like to do it again. She is borderline obsessed with Fortnum & Mason so we decided to do high tea there. The tea room is fittingly at the very top of the building. Below are different floors that vary from a butcher's shop, to being filled with cookies and tea, and then having dinnerware. The Jubilee Tea Salon is exactly what you would think given its location. White tablecloths, well dressed servers, steaming pots of tea, and overflowing towers of miniature sandwiches and baked goods. The room is bright and well lit, and just had an airiness to it that I liked. We went all out and it was worth it for us. The context is that both myself and my friend Karin are big tea drinkers. I'm sure we could have found a similar high team for a cheaper price, but I really enjoyed it overall. If you aren't really into the high tea experience but just are doing it to check it off your bucket list, consider another spot. If you want to see what all of the fuss is though this is an excellent spot.

Second, if you order "still water" they will bring you still water---in a commercial bottle and charge you £5.95 ($7.88 on 27 SEPT 2026). If you want plain water, order "tap water". Third, our waiter not mention that additional sandwiches and scones were included at no extra charge. We learned that only after we left, so we had been reluctant to ask for more. Finally, F&M adds a 12.5% service charge to the bill. In our case that was £22.49 ($29.80 for the two of us). That's OK, just know that they will add the service charge. Our bill for high tea with still water and sparking water totaled £202.39 ($268). Would I recommend it? The food was good and generally attractive, but it did not feel special enough to justify the $268 price. Perhaps it is worth considering for a very special occasion, preferably when F&M is less busy. Otherwise, London has other appealing options at a lower price.

Come Christmas time, everyone has a father, aunt or cousin that goes nuts for nuts, and you can find all varieties here from almonds to macadamias.

If it's something for the sweet tooth you're after, Julian Graves also has a nice confectionary section containing chocolate peanuts and more.

This shop is Wagashi (Japanese sweetie) HEAVEN!…read more One of the best things about working for a Japanese organisation (even in the UK) is the Japanese concept of omiyage. Whenever Japanese people visit our office, (or when any member of staff goes on holiday, or a business trip) they always bring back some edible gifts for the rest of the staff to munch. Our office has so much that we started an omiyage blog: http://iloveomiyage.tumblr.com/archive I have tried loads and loads of these sweets as lovely visitors bring them to our office...but I hardly ever remember to visit the shop to buy them myself. One of my colleagues is leaving, so yesterday I popped by to buy him some treats. The shop is lovely (and tempting...) with lots of seasonal wagashi along with the constant best sellers. You can take a teeny basket and fill it up with mochi, cake-like sweets and anko-flavoured deliciousness. I love: - If they have them, the Sakura mochi are simply divine. (Mochi filled with a sweet cherry blossom flavour) - Fukuwatashi senbei (A sweet senbei sandwich with creamy stuff in the middle...Nom nom nom) - Tsuya (gorgeous dorayaki, like mini pancakes, filled with anko) - Ayashirabe (white anko-filled manju) - Castella (I think spelled Kasutera here, it's quite nice Japanese version of BOS - boring old sponge) - Maccha mochi (all the best things in one sweet! Anko paste covered in mochi, then dusted with maccha powder...) I'm not so keen on the youkan (blocks of jelly-like stuff)...but all my colleagues love it. *At the moment they have a beautiful display of dolls for Hina-matsuri (girls day), so even if you don't want the sweets, it's worth visiting to see the window display.

Firstly I took photos then looked at what they actually sold and thought I want some!! They sell individual sweets/Mochi/ pancakes etc also boxes. Then I found box sets and went for the £16 one! I was thinking they are expensive sweets so I hope I like them! These are fresh dessert type sweets not like boiled sweets! It is a nice shop, with a couple of seats if you do want to eat in. I've not yet eaten the sweets but I asked how long they last for, and was told they expire that month. So I would say eat them sooner rather than later.
