Review of Hotel Chocolat Store
13 Nov 07, 12:46
chocolate heaven... 
If you like chocolate then this is a good shop for you. Unfortunately, its not a hotel made out of chocolate but a shop that offers a huge range of chocolate treats. There is so much to choose from, bags of chocolate covered nuts to more fancy hand-made chocolates. This is an ideal place to come to get a gift for someone or maybe just treat yourself. The staff are very friendly and the prices vary on the type of chocolate you are purchasing but are generally reasonable

Review of Cocoa Tree
11 Nov 07, 14:50
unique boutique...
This is a little boutique situated half way up the hill on Kingsbridges main street. It is only small but it has some really nice pieces. It only does womenswear and stocks some well known brands. It stocks French Connection which is a bit special for this area as there isnt a stand alone French Connection shop in the south west. Cocoa also sells some shoes and bags. The lady who runs the boutique is very friendly and helpful. It is nice to see that individual and unique places still exist and not all towns have "clone high streets".

Review of The Sugar Boy
06 Nov 07, 21:34
sweet paradise...
This is an old fashioned sweet shop stacked to the brim with sweets you havent seen for years, such as (for my genertaion) kola kubes and sherbert pips. There are also sweets that older generations will re-call. They also sell more current sweets such as jelly beans. There is so much to choose from you'll spend a good time picking. The Sugar Boy also has its own claim to fame as it provided much of the sweets for the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This is such a quaint shop and theres something so nostalgic about seeing your sweets meausured out on the scales. This place can get quite busy as it is ideally situated right next to the Kings School entrance, so theres lots of kids popping in to get their sugar fix. Plus you get a good share of tourists who are lured in by the old fashioned shop fronting. Prices are obviously dependant on weight so remember not to get too carried away!

sweets for the stars...
This is an old fashioned sweet shop stacked to the brim with sweets you havent seen for years, such as (for my genertaion) kola kubes and sherbert pips.

Plus plenty of fudge, biscuits, sticks of rock and well all sorts of yummy sweet things. There is so much to choose from you'll spend a good time picking. The Sugar Boy also has its own claim to fame as it provided much of the sweets for the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This is such a quaint shop and theres something so nostalgic about seeing your sweets meausured out on the scales. This place can get busy in the summer but if you ve got a bit of a sweet tooth its definetly worth a visit.

Review of Cranch's Sweet Shop

sweetie heaven...

This branch of Cranchs gets quite busy as it is quite a small shop in size, plus all the children come here to stock up. It's hard not to walk down the high street without seeing most children carrying the distinctive pink and white paper bags. This is such a quaint shop and it is also a family run bussiness which is another good reason to buy your confectionary from here.

Review of Salcombe Dairy Ice Cream
28 Oct 07, 22:31
possibly the best ice cream ever...
I have grown up with Salcombe Dairy Ice cream as we used to holiday here nearly every year and now my family live here and I never get bored of getting an ice cream even on a horrid day. They do lots of lovely flavours, the ginger and honeycomb are amazing. Plus what I love about this ice cream is that it is made in this small town in the ice cream "factory" 5 minutes away from their shop. The shop front has recently been re-decorated and looks really good. The shop also has a huge amount of sweets, fudge and biscuits on offer, so its a good place to get a little holiday gift for someone. Plus they now serve smoothis as well which are also very yummy. So you must go here for your ice cream cone and not the other place thats before it if you're walking down the street as Salcombe dairy ice cream is far superior.
