    Nice little candy shop found scattered around London has a huge selection of various sweets and…read moreconfections popular here in the UK and a small international section. For a tiny place, we were here a while because there's a lot to choose from. Counter service was courteous and prices aren't anything to complain about either. Will be back and recommended to satisfy your sweet tooth.

    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!

Upon entering Fortnum, you are WOWed by the spectacular view of beautiful chocolates, teas, and antiques with 4 floors of stairs to more shopping from home and goods to tea pots to perfume and finally their tea room to dine in. Our server was able to help us get seated immediately and answer all of our questions, constantly checking in on us, giving us new plates, refilling, and organizing our table to look more aesthetic :). HIGH TEA / AFTERNOON TEA SET We chose the high tea and afternoon set which was ayce basically with unlimited refills of the pastries. This was around £95 per person which was a bit pricey, but the experience felt very high end indeed. The pastries were varying in regards to quality consistency and also depends on your preferences. Each pastry or bite has a savory or sweet taste and is paired uniquely. Each set also came with your choice of a tea pot and sparkling tea which was delicious. The honey tea non caffeinated was decent! HIGH TEA The sweet pastries were my favorite from a crunchy but creamy blueberry tart to a decadent chocolate mousse. I wasn't a fan of the rose cake, but the yogurty apple one and sweet bread were decent to my liking (definitely depends on your preferences). I did really enjoy trying new things though and being able to get more of whatever I liked! I also really like the side of marmalades and buttery cream with the scones. Both the regular and fruity scone were delicious. The sweet set also came with an entree and the beef Wellington was coooked to perfection although a very small bite. SAVORY TEA I was not a fan of duck liver mousse at all, but really liked the crab cake and savory scones that came with a type of cream cheese spread and red onion marmalade. A different take from the sweet set. Their scones are perfectly crispy on the outside but nice and moist on the inside. This set also came with finger sandwiches which were delicious: a variety of salmon and cream cheese, cucumber, hummus, and ham and cheese. It is a great experience for first timers when you are in London and definitely a good place to pick up teas and goodies to bring back home.

    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.

    We walked past and there were people standing outside and our friend said they sold Japanese sweets…read moreand desserts. I wanted to go in!! 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.
