Diabetics of the world, beware!! The pink sign over this new sweet and ice cream shop in Queensway is strangely hypnotic and like the sirens of Greek mythology, may draw you in to your doom!
Sugacane is actually part of a chain but this is their first store in London. The bright colours are clearly aimed at the younger market though they do carry a lot of traditional sweets too, which will bring back nostalic memories for the older clientele.
There are jars of these traditional sweets on both walls with softer sweets like licorice laces below them. The centre of the store has a pick and mix section with wide choice.
At the front of the store, there's a counter with more expensive items like hand made fudge and chocolates.
There's also Cornish ice cream and for me, the piece de resistance - milkshakes. They will in fact make you a milkshake with any combinations of chocolate bar and ice cream that you want but they have a few suggestions up on the wall.
I was very pleased with my milkshake, which contained maltesers and chocolate ice cream. Just need to do a little extra exercise in the next few days! read more
