You'll feel like you've died and gone to sweet tooth heaven the moment you walk in the door! My little girl loves going in and selecting a small bucket, which she can fill with whatever her heart desires. For around $5 she walks out with her sweet basket overflowing, enough to keep her happy for at least three weeks. And they stock all the big name brands you'll find at the supermarket, generally at better prices. There's nothing not to love about this store and the look, feel and ambiance transports me back to my childhood, giving me a little flutter as I start looking around excitedly at what goodies I might find. A word of advice; if you're heading to the Cinema located at the shopping cent re, go to the Sweet Box to stock up on your movie food, you'll get a lot more of a selection than at the Cinema kiosk and save a ton of money.

First of all I have just have to say how very cute this shop is. It is decked out with little…read moreshelves and compartments that are filled with hundreds of different varieties of lollies and confectionary. It looks like lolly shops from the movies complete with big swirly lollipops and american candy bars. I think I found pretty much all of my favourite lollies in there, which was a really useful thing to learn right as I've just started a health kick. *Frown* If I wasn't trying to get healthy I think I would have spent a lot of money in there. One thing to note though is that they only take cash here. The girl behind the counter was on her first shift and was still exceptionally helpful and friendly. The prices here are super cheap and you can get a massive bag of lollies for under ten dollars - with a heap of different varieties too. If you've got a craving for sweets I would definitely be visiting this place.

It is a marvelous shop that has been around in excess of 12 years. The store itself is quaint and sweet with wooden shelves stocked up with all the candy you can imagine. The pricing is fantastic and much cheaper than I am used to shopping at major shopping centres. The shop also seemed to have a bigger range of flavours in lollies than major chains so I stocked up on a lot of my favourite varieties. As well as lollies there were also cans of Dr. Pepper at $3 amongst a variety of soft drink in a little bar fridge. In one corner was a display of soft toys and the top shelves were adorned with all sorts of confectionary related objects. In one corner were lollie-dispensing machines - very tempting indeed. The staff member in this shop was just lovely and shared a story about how Mountain of Sweets always gets mixed up with the other lolly shop in Olinda. She was so welcoming that I couldn't resist buying some Wonka Nerds before heading home. The store is open from 11-5 Monday to Friday and 10-5.30 on weekends.

These guys have a veritable treasure trove of Libby's canned pumpkin on the bottom shelf in the…read moreback. This discovery saved my toosh for Thanksgiving this year because USA Foods in Moorabbin screwed up my order and shorted me my canned pumpkin and I didn't realize it until the last minute. So, hooray for these guys! They made it possible for us to have traditional American pumpkin pie at our Aussie thanksgiving :) And now I have another can for Christmas, too! As for the other stuff they offer here, seemed like a bunch of junky sugary American cereals, sodas, and candies. And uniquely American things too, like graham crackers. I want to go back and peruse their sauces and stuff more closely and see if they have any Cajun stuff too, but what I saw briefly in my quick frenzied quest for canned pumpkin led me to believe it's mostly junk food here. Which is totally acceptable -- I just hope Australians don't judge us Americans based on the stuff they sell here, ha! We don't all eat like we're one snack away from diabetes, I swear. Price-wise, this place seemed comparable to or cheaper than USA Foods. It's a lot smaller, though -- really just a hole-in-the-wall. Honestly, I prefer Prahran Convenience for cheap imported foods from the U.S. and elsewhere, but this place is a bit more U.S.-focused than Prahran Convenience so if you're looking for a distinctly American product, you might want to try here first.

It is big, and does have lots of lollies, but don't expect quality for low prices. The quality is…read morebelow average at best and the prices more than what I'd expect to pay. There is no comparison in quality to what you get from name brands at the supermarket, the supermarket ones are so much better, and when on special cheap enough. Snakes are like hard plastic, teeth taste funny, milk bottles chewy and not nice for example. I won't be going back.

It really is a big lolly shop. It's right next to Andrew's airport parking which is handy when…read moreyou're travelling. I liked the signage out the front. Quite bright and inviting. When you walk in its a bit less inviting. There is a decent range. I found there were a few bags busted open and it could have been a little tidier to be honest. I did buy a few things bulk style (1.3kg's of chico's and snakes!). I didn't find it to be exceptional value for money, but it is cheaper than supermarket. The people working here were lovely too. I think it's worth a look if you're around the area.

I found some great kids dress up hats that were only a few dollars but were gorgeous. They were like little felt toupees that had animal faces. In the costume area they also had police hats, fireman helmets and a large range of costumes for adults and kids averaging a price tag of around $20. Delving further into the store I found the animal/pet section. This had a heap of collars and leads - from the very tacky to the sturdy and I picked up a new lead and collar set for my dog for just $2. I was very happy with that find, I assure you. There was also a great big hamburger squeaky toy, which I also bought. Normally my dog breaks the squeaker and the toy within about half an hour but this one has lasted over 24 hours so far. For $3 I really cannot complain. (In fact I'll probably return tomorrow and buy all the stock they have... keeping a full grown boxer dog entertained all day is a big task!) The rest of the shop had home decor type items and even some tinned foods. I noticed some pretzels but they looked to be in foreign packaging. The customer service here was great - not sure if it was Veronica I spoke to or not- and I had a good conversation for a few minutes.

I try to avoid this place as much as possible, but every now and then it pulls me in..

There are quite a few of these Sweet As shops around - usually to be found in Centro shopping…read morecentres. Most are completely alike, stocking the same range of imported and local chocolates and lollies at just below supermarket prices. This Sweet As is a little different. Yes, it has the obligatory shelves and shelves of half-kilo and kilo packs of brightly coloured sugary things. Yes, it has all those weird and wonderful lollipops that my mother would never have let me have as a child. Yes, it even has the shelf of American choocolate, including the 4 different kinds of Reese's Peanut Butter cup. What it has in addition to all the standard requirements of a shopping centre lolly shop is great service, an owner who remembers you (although maybe that's because I went there a few too many times) and ridiculously cheap stock. I don't know where she finds it, but gourmet fudge bars at 30 cents a bar? Yes please. The specials do change regularly, but it's always worth stopping in with a gold coin because there'll be something that'll substantially satisfy your sweet tooth. The prices on the regular items are good too, without the mall markup (and, if you compare to the Chadstone markup, really excellent).
