This funny little nut 'n sweet shop seems out of place on Russell Street, but I'm glad I found it!
Yummy Sweet & Nut could easily be a stall in one of Melbourne's many markets - they have a huge range of self-serve nuts with some very exotic varieties, and they're significantly cheaper than what you'll pay in the supermarket plus you can control your quantities exactly!
I stop off here from time to time to get a bag of pistachios (my favourite in-handbag snack food) and they're always fresh and nicely salted, without too many closed ones.
I've also tried a couple of the sweets on offer, but I don't rate them as much. The chocolate on the coated nuts tastes a little stale, or maybe it's just a cheap make.
My verdict - good for nuts, not so good for sweets. read more
