Sweet little shop. We only bought ice cream for our little buddy. The dog ice was great i think - out dog loved it and wanted more.

Unnecessarily rude staff member ruined the experience. Sweet offering also not as good as used to be - have pre bagged certain varieties at a high cost.

I was quite disappointed with the toffee bon bons. I was told they are all from the same supplier, I beg to differ. They taste nothing like the Mr Simms toffee bon bons. I was told there are 2 types, chewy ones and original, it just says toffee bon bons on Mr Simms not chewy!! I won't be buying anymore from anywhere other than Mr Simms!! I agree with all the other reviews, shops amazing with plenty of choice.

Finally a sweet shop to rival the one in Chipping Norton. Fabulous amount of choice and well laid out, love the focus on the jar sweets and the prices were fantastic. A little higher than the Chippy sweet shop prices but I believe the overall quality may be higher.

While we were looking around this lovely little Cotswold town of Burford again,on another of our many visits,if like me you have a bit of a sweet tooth this is the place for you........It's not very big inside but it is jam packed with almost every sweet you can think of,all displayed in their lovely jars on many shelves in the shop......One of my favourite sweets being the crystallised ginger,so I had to buy a big bag of them as they are so refreshing for your mouth and good for your stomach, The trouble is they don't last long once I get the taste ,I've eaten them already and must get some more soon..... Overall a lovely little shop in a picturesque Cotswold town that must be checked out....👍

A really lovely traditional sweet shop on the main street of Burford. A huge selection to choose from and the staff were both great. Well worth a visit if you’re local, or like us just visiting.

Old school sweet shop with glass jars, small candies, and some more commercial items. It is small but there is a lot in here - enough to satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth. We entered for a small sweet and ended up taking away quite a sack of treats!

Amazing place, amazing service and staff….have been coming here for treat weekends the last 7 years….and have never been disappointed. Whether you want traditional sweets from days gone by…or luxury handmade chocolates this is the place to go to!!! Just collected our wedding order of bridesmaid favours and flower girls gifts of various chocolates and sweet varieties from Kieran …completely overwhelmed at the attention to detail…so beautifully presented and such care taken. I cannot recommend this business enough!!! For any occasion, birthdays, weddings, Christmas, or just as a lovely treat for yourself!!! Pay Kieran and his team a visit and he will look after you! Thank you Kieran you are truly one in a million.

We popped in, greeted the young man behind the counter. He was pleasant in general. I purchased several selections of chocolates from the glass case. I think 5 of them, it was about 2 pounds 50. They were REALLY good.

Excellent sweetshop to buy some treats: truffles, fudge, handmade chocolates, Easter eggs and respective treats. Prices are good per 100grams. Staff is very welcoming and smiling. The shop is also environment friendly, with recicle bags and boxes. Please visit young adults and of course children too.

Called in for some butter tablet and fudge. Walked out and tasted the butter tablet and went straight back in for another bag, some cinder toffee and some coconut ice for my mum. So much choice, could’ve spent ages in there. Will definitely pop in again.

My partner is blind, so to help him appreciate the old-fashioned jars of sweets I picked up one up intending to pass it to him so he could feel it. The person behind the counter rushed over and said this was against the rules for insurance reasons. When I explained why I was touching a jar, he just repeated that it was against the rules. He was very rude and made no effort to make my partner feel welcome in the shop. We left very quickly and will not be returning. (Which is a shame, as my partner is addicted to chocolate limes and was excited to find a shop that might sell them!)

Lovely sweet shop, loads of old sweets from my youth, I live not far from Burfordrea and this was the first time I had been to Burford for a while, came with visiting friends, the customer service of the assistant (or owner - male) I don't know if he was, but he had not charisma, didn't chat, just had a bag almost what do you want attitude, not going to sell much that way, I did buy something, but would of bought more but the service was dire, I really would expect if you are selling such a product as sweets etc you would be enthusiastic about them as we were genuinely enthralled by the array of sweets for sale. I am not a tourist so not sure if they were fed up with tourists going in and then out not buying I don't know. Great shop, please sort out your staff and smile

Hard to find where on Trip Advisor to write a review for this shop, but I persevered because I really wanted to compliment the owner on great service. On a day trip to Burford I bought some walnut fudge and it was the best I had ever tasted (not that I am a great sweetie eater, but still it was beautiful fudge). I then ordered some more by ringing him up from home and he sent my order straightaway at a discount for volume without my asking and just charging exact postage. Considering how much work I caused him for a sub £20 order I really thought his service was first rate and wanted it made public. The shop itself is in a lovely Burford cotswold stone building with lots of nice jars everywhere, filled with goodies. In spite of the tourists, Burford is a really nice place to visi and the sweet shop is about halfway down the high street.

A delightful old-fashioned candy store offering old- fashioned candies. I am so glad I did not take it for granted and instead splurged to stock up on a range in my favorite flavor, lemon. This stock kept me going during the next three weeks of hard-charging touring. I looked but did not again find a candy store as good as this one, so Excellent it is.

It really is a fabulous old fashioned quaint sweetie shop - perfectly in keeping with Buford village. The staff are a bit surfaced unfortunately - which for me, let the magic of the place down. Great selection of sweeties though, in a fabulous setting.

Today I had a terrible experience. The coconut latte wasn’t as usual. The staff responded that the latte is always without foam. The woman at the next table said the same thing, that something was wrong with the coffee, and then she got up and left. I want to point out that you often have great coffee, but there’s always something happening with this particular shift. Last time, I waited for my order for half an hour, and the staff just forgot about it. Then they brought me the coffee but forgot to bring the dessert. I didn’t want to leave a bad review, but this is happening too often.

A different type of pub, trying its best to be something different focusing on drinks promotions, shots, cocktails to bring in the crowds. The menu, too much, was given 3 or 4 different menus which was overload, keep it simple to 1 main menu and specials, try not to overdo things. I ordered the festive turkey pie, a little steep in price but was feeling like a pie day at 22 quid. Service was very slow with few punters, which wasn't expected. Food finally was dropped off at the table and my initial visualisation of the meal was dry, little effort which already put a damper on my pie day. The pie was dense, good sign but dry af The gravy helped a bit especially another serving of gravy. The mash was heavily dense and needed a knive to cut it. Seriously hard to find anywhere now that can cook basic food without the french cuisine overdoing.. Recommendation Strip back to basics, dont over complicate things Customers want good home cooked food, a simple menu, and hey presto you might be onto something better than the other pubs in the village. #garystribe #localguide #localguides #letsguide #cotswolds #chippingnorton
