What visitors say
Friendly and welcoming staff was a positive however my expectations were let down by the mixed and fizzy sweet bags. I found myself being almost scared to try another sweet with disturbing and uncomfortable flavours and textures. Few sweets in the whole bags were a pleasant experience and i hope this does not represent the shop as a whole. Please do better i had to spit these out

The most amazing place I have visited in Belfast. Definitely no. 1 tourist attraction and the best candy place in Belfast. The candies, come in all flavours, sweet , sour , savoury , honeycomb ( the absolute best ). The guy making the candy is the absolute sweetest. Overall, people running the shop are sweeter than the candies they make. He explained and passionately showed us the entire process for making candies- literally you can go and see how the candies are made LIVE Not only this, the people running the shop are amazing. We ended up chatting with the guy making candies for very long - about life, cars, astronomy , batteries and so much more while we were there. Absolutely recommend this place. You are missing the full experience of Belfast if you miss this shop.

Fantastic family run business. Claire makes several visits a year to our GB company at St Mary’s Ballybeen and always does something to suit what our themes are. Our recent party was a K-POP Demon Hunters Slime Party for 23 excited girls aged 8-10yrs old. Claire provided everything and talked the girls through each stage of the process and was interactive with everyone. Can’t wait to have you back! Feel the need for a chocolate party next lol! xx

My son had his 6th birthday at Aunt Sandra's having a slime party. He and his friends had the best morning having lots of fun. They played with the slime they made for months. Highly recommend!
