Sweet City is a sweet shop on the bottom floor of Bargate Shopping Centre…read more It is quite a small colourful shop that sells a good selection of American sweets, chocolate and drinks. They also sell some boxes of cereal but they are about £7 for one box. There are quite a few things that used to be available in England but aren't any longer that they sell there. They have a good pick n mix stand which is mainly full of English sweets and the price isn't too bad. They also have a good selection of Jelly Belly jelly beans. They are fairly expensive with most things as with all sweets shops of this type.

Unfortunately these are being sold for about 4 times the going rate of normal cereal, so make for more of a cool birthday present than a lifestyle choice! They have an excellent selection of Jelly Belly jelly Beans, and a lot of retro childhood memory provoking sweets, like tubs of rhubard and custard sweeties. The sweets in general are a lot more expensive than you'd norally pay, but for those sweets and goodies that you can rarely buy anymore the price isnt that bad.

Would recommend if you have to buy a card for a special occasion due to its wide range of choice, but would ignore the little gifts and nick-nacks as think they are overpriced for what they are.
