Customer Reviews
Love this shop and no visit to Keswick is complete without venturing inside. Their range of delicious chocolate, sweets and more always brings back childhood memories of joy, and it's amazing to listen to others walking around the shop also saying "do you remember those", with a smile on their faces.
A very nice addition to what is already a high street well worth a visit. I almost mistook it for a pub from a distance (the name and hanging sign had me fooled), but as i got closer an inviting looking shop front tempted me into the wide open expanse of sweet treats within. I was honestly surprised by how much there was to choose from. All of it laid out in a bright clean interior that positively encouraged the casual browser to explore. If you are in town and your sweet tooth is demanding some attention then definitely give this place a try.
Love having a nosey around this 'old fashioned' shop! It's how upper class chocolate shops used to be. Beautiful displays. When was the last time you walked round a shop with lush red carpet and curtaining under their display shelves! It's a little on the expensive side but, I should imagine, people coming from abroad absolutely love it. We usually go around Christmas time and find something to buy for special treats. It's worth visiting even if you don't buy👍🏻
