I've been in the shop many times for the lovely old-fashioned sweets. I bought some mint and fudge sweets last week for my wife. She tasted them and said they had an odd and unpleasant aftertaste; I tried them and thought the same. I went back to the shop today (Monday) to explain and ask for a refund and to buy some other sweets. However, the young man serving became very aggressive and threatening. I had to leave before it escalated into a very nasty experience. Sadly, I won't be returning.

We travelled halfway across the globe and stumble upon this olde sweet shop so full of treats and a true gem for the young and adults alike. Amazed by the wide selection of chocs, sweets and gummies. Staff were extremely friendly, accomodating and even let us take a picture from inside. This olde sweet shop certainly made our day in Hertford!

A good old fashioned sweetshop. The shop is filled with old sweet shop favourites plenty of variety to choose from.

The Sweet's and chocolate are quite expensive but some of the sweet are imported so it makes some sense, sometimes there isn't someone on the till / shop floor.Overall the shop has a nice cool environment and a bit selection of stuff, I would say the chocolate here is nice. ?

Firstly, the prices at this shop are outrageously high. It seems as though the owners are trying to take advantage of customers by charging exorbitant amounts for even the most basic items.In addition to the high prices, the service at this shop was also lacking. While browsing the selection, I was made to feel unwelcome by a man working at the shop who kept giving me dirty looks whenever I didn't make a purchase. This made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, and I left the shop feeling disappointed and frustrated.Overall, I would not recommend the Olde Sweet Shoppe to anyone. The high prices and poor customer service make it a poor choice for anyone looking to buy sweets or other items. There are surely better options out there that offer better prices and more welcoming service.

I recently visited a sweet shop that was an absolute nightmare. The shopkeeper was rude and gave dirty looks to anyone who dared to enter the store. Not only was the atmosphere unwelcoming, but the prices were outrageously high.To make matters worse, the shopkeeper seemed to have a rule that if you looked at anything for too long, you were forced to buy it. This was especially frustrating for children, who were treated with complete disrespect by the shopkeeper.I would not recommend this sweet shop to anyone. The poor customer service and high prices make it an unpleasant experience all around. Stay far away from this place!

Most of the sweets are pretty nice but many are out of date and overpriced. The man who runs it is very aggressive if you don't buy anything in the first 5 minutes. He starts giving me dirty looks and growling at me. He also makes you buy anything you touch. He acts kind if adults are in the store but when kids come he goes mad. If you ever walk past the store I recommend leaving his door open just as a little revenge :).There is a small sweet shop in my neighborhood that I would highly recommend avoiding. The exterior of the shop is uninviting, with peeling paint and a cluttered window display. But the real problem with this shop is the owner, who is rude, unfriendly, and downright nasty.The first time I visited this sweet shop, I was with my young nephew and we were excited to pick out some treats. But as soon as we walked in, the shopkeeper gave us a dirty look and snapped at us to hurry up and make our selection. My nephew was visibly upset by the shopkeeper's rude behavior, and I was equally disappointed by her lack of customer service.But it wasn't just the shopkeeper's rude demeanor that made this sweet shop a terrible experience. As we browsed the selection of candy and chocolate, it became clear that the shopkeeper was trying to scam us at every turn. She tried to charge us extra for items that were clearly marked with a price, and when we pointed out her mistake, she simply shrugged and told us to pay the higher price or leave.The final straw came when we tried to pay for our purchases. Despite the fact that we had exact change, the shopkeeper refused to give us our change and instead pocketed the extra money for herself. When we tried to protest, she simply sneered and told us to leave the shop.In short, this sweet shop is a horrible place with a nasty shopkeeper who is more interested in scamming customers than providing a pleasant shopping experience. I would highly recommend avoiding this shop and supporting a more reputable and customer-friendly establishment instead.

Sold a 9 year old kid a pack of Sour Patch Kids for £8.99. Normal retail price is £3. She wasn’t very happy. Avoid this ripoff shop

Good quality sweets, but very expensive. If you don’t buy something the man gives you a dirty look. ( from experiences ) The man told my friend to not come in again if you not gonna buy anything, he’s only nice when adults come in.

Come at 3pm on a Sunday and it is shut. Says 4pm on their own door and also on website. Waste of time.

Was really nice when I went in I go in all the time and always leave happy. The laces are the best things. But is quite expensive but the experience is really good. Me and my friend and family love this place.

Thick and delicious milkshakes in this charming and traditional sweet shop. Good selection of sweets. Friendly staff. The prices are a bit steep. Seating area in the shop. I’ve been there many times!
