Zorba Sweets is a fancy little candy kiosk positioned in paradise Street…read more The shop doesn't fit in many people but it does offer a good variety of sweets such as chocolates, boiled sweets and assorted jellies. It is very colourful in appearance and has all the qualities to drag a child in! There is one member of staff at the till to keep an eye out for those naughty ones trying to sneak a toffee or two in their mouths so I wouldn't advise! Sweets are quite reasonable in price compared to pick 'n' mix shops in touristy areas like the Albert Dock and the popular Odeon Cinema, so my best advice is to come here instead and bag yourself a treat.

I could make a Zorba the Greek joke here. Something about Zorba the Sweet maybe? Plate smashing -…read moresmashing sweets, there's got to be something in that. No? Okay. Zorba Sweets sells almost every conceivable form of pick and mix, just pick your lovely paper bag and use the tongs or scoops provided (only sickos use their fingers) and shovel away - cherry lips, flying saucers, fudge, liquorice allsorts, wine gums, chocolate fudge, foam lips, orange fudge; I could list them all day. I shouldn't? Okay. Its loads cheaper than the pick and mix at the cinema so stock up here if you're planning a visit to the nearby Odeon. They also sell canned and bottled of soft drinks but these are more difficult to sneak in your jacket pocket, unless you buy a huge overcoat but that might be expensive which defeats the point of buying your sweets here in the first place. So just pile in a load of your favourite sweets; jelly beans, space pencils. Oh right, the lists thing again. Sorry. Well let's just say they have more choice than you can shake a bouzouki at! A bouzouki; it's a Greek musical instrument, isn't it? Oh right, we're not doing the Greek thing either.

It's nice to find a shop like Sweet Memories, competing against the hundreds of stores stocking…read moreconfectionary alongside dozens of other merchandise often rather cheap. Sweet Memories is attractive, however I must say it's not very traditional, to me the name inspires images of a 'ye olde sweete shoppe' filled with old toffees and fudges and sweets from years and years ago, but really it's just a sweet shop, much nicer than a newsagents but a sweet shop nonetheless. There were some old classics in stock. The shop is really clean and tidy, it's a pleasant place to browse and clearly popular with locals as it was quite busy. I believe personalised gifts are available which is a nice idea for sugar loving friends and

This is a fairly traditional little sweet shop, but I have to agree with the previous reviewer:…read moremost of what's for sale is not actually that old/traditional. There are some sweets that probably were first made/intervened a long time ago, but are still quite common even in big shops like Tesco and Asda. But there is a wide selection, and you can buy as much or as little as you like since it's done by weight. The walls of the shop are lined with various jars of sweets in all shapes, sizes, colours, and flavours.

Good grief my last review of this location (or at least the last one visible on Yelp) was over 6…read moreyears ago when a cappuccino was £1. Today with my membership card (free) it was £3.16. We got two ice cream sundaes and cappuccinos and sat outside in warm sunshine. As we are at the start of our two month 'nice to know ya' tour we loaded up on chocolate. We'll visit hotel places that we've been before in the South of France, Andorra and Spain to say thanks for the memories, as I'm afraid out best before dates are running out but it couid be worse it could be our use before dates instead. We've never had a bucket let alone a bucket list but what we do have is a book it list. As an example of hope over experience I've booked a 40 day Caribbean holiday to start the first week in January 2027. I do have all year round travel insurance though as that's sensible. It's approaching dusk in Vatican City and as I write still no fumata bianca. It'll be habemus papam by Saturday and hopefully not a bloody Italian.

This branch of Hotel Chocolat is located inside the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet in Ellesmere…read morePort, despite being in a Designer Outlet mall, it isn't an "Outlet" store, and basically is a typical Hotel Chocolat store, it is a slightly larger branch than my local store at the Manchester Arndale and Manchester Market Street, yet it does not have a cafe which some larger stores have such as the one in Liverpool, which are some of the closest other branches this chain has to this one. The service here was lacking, especially compared to other stores which was a shame, based on past experience, more recently at a branch in Newcastle, and the Manchester Market Street branch, I've been impressed with the service and friendly staff, they were engaged and wanted to help the customer, offering samples etc and talking about products, sadly this was not the case here. The product range was fine, and basically pretty typical of the Hotel Chocolat brand, which is a premium chocolate brand which sells chocolates with a sort of twist, such as a chocolate infused iced tea, which I have not tried yet, having been put off by the price and the unusual nature of the product, and the fact I don't see them sell that many either in any of their stores. As mentioned, the location is okay in the Designer Outlet, yet slightly out of place, perhaps it would be better in the "shops" part, away from the Outlet stores, the service also is poor, yet the overall feel of the store is okay to warrant a two-star rating.

This is one of the nicer newsagents/groceries in Liscard.

And of course they have the much needed refrigerators of cold drinks for those hot summer days when you're walking down the sidewalk and you're parched--which happened to me today. You gotta love these little newsagents for saving you from thirsting to death, or starving to death when you really "need" a chocolate bar. And this one's a good one. And the staff are friendly.

It's a great place for little nik-naks too, inexpensive stocking fillers, tiny treats and other cute bits and bobs. Love the place. Need to go more often really!

A very useful shop to know about!…read more Justicia is a fairtrade shop, meaning they only sell fairtrade produce -- stuff which guarantees a better deal for producers in less developed countries. They boast the widest selection of fairly traded goods in Bolton, which is quite an achievement as there are no small number of places in Bolton that have committed themselves to fairtrade principles. Although specialising in craft, they also sell other fairtrade goods such as some food and stationery. The prices they charge are quite reasonable (I understand they are a non-profit organisation) and the staff are amongst the friendliest I have ever come across. There are some Council car parks near by, but you will have to pay to park there. All in all, however, this shop is definitely worth a visit -- particularly in the run-up to Christmas if you're short of gift ideas.

During my time in the UK, I knew absolutely nothing about where to shop. That changed quickly when…read morethe homie Shay M. was hooking it up with the hints on where to go for some of the good stuff you can only find out here! Enter... ASDA!! It's a grocery store, but this particular location has 2 stores under 1 roof. The Home Bargains store houses "hardline" items as well as a few food and drinks options. It's here at this location that I was able to find and snag the well-known English cookies (or "biscuits" as they're locally called) which are branded as "Digestives." I do believe these can be found in San Diego's Shakespeare restaurant and store, but they're probably limited on flavors and guaranteed to cost more. While here, I found some of the hot sauces Shay told me about. I have a friend who loves hot sauce, so I'll be gifting that to her along with other yummies. The Cadbury chocolate tub was also here, and on sale. 2 tubs for £9!! That's an unbeatable price! There's a small selection of fruits and veggies and also fresh flower bouquets. I love the prices at these grocery stores. If I lived here, I wouldn't worry too much about sales, but the ones they do have make the prices even more amazing! Gotta love it here at ASDA! Get your shop on and save a grip of money doing it! ;)

Last Saturday, I approached 3 different members of staff with different enquiries I needed resolving. I can only say they went above and beyond what I expected and remedied all my requirements . Many thanks to you all. I had earlier visited the instore Opticians, my original reason for attending the store and was served by a young lady, Kia. She was obviously well informed and trained. A credit to all trainers and recruiters at the store. I have never thought this before but I left feeling as if I was a truly valued customer, due to Kia and her 3 colleagues. I can only recommend visiting this store as it makes shopping a pleasant experience and not the usual chore. I hope the store general manager and department head take note of this review.
