Hopscotch Essential Treats

Amazing staff and Delicious sweets and teas!!!

I have just been here and never noticed it until friend recmoneded I buy sweets packed for my dads birthday I don't go towards that end of the high street. Anyway I got my dad's favourites alongside a few more he ate during the 60s and 70s. What a great present my dad will have them for a couple of weeks. And the only unfortunately thing was it didn't have my favourite sweets which are Monarch Cherry drops ,apple and custard, strawberry and cream and bassets liquorice sticks. It has to be the right brand for me. I left and just remembered I loved Scottish Toffee bars, sweet peanuts, floral sweets and cherry cola bottles so will check the next time I'm there but a great find!!!. Of course I got my kids a few midget gems and cola bottles. Bon Bons for me! Even a fruit tea!!! It was certainly a nostalgic trip but would've loved to see more retro sweets that I liked.

Wow, wow, wow! What a local gem! No trip to High Barnet is complete without stopping off here. I discovered the place by chance when I spotted a free wreath making event in the window. We made a fabulous wreath using a potato for the base (I never knew such a thing was possible)! Unsure of what to expect, I was blown away by the store inside and the owners' kindness. Inside is an Aladin's Cave of retro sweets sold by weight and all reasonably priced. They also have an amazing range of teas and resources for cake making. Look out for other fabulous craft events they hold throughout the year. Alice (one of the owners) was so kind and helpful. I would highly recommend a visit, and I can't wait to return.

Great old fashioned sweet shop giving a personal touch!

Shop with a great selection of traditional sweets. Run by a friendly couple who are always helpful.

I love this shop - as someone who likes baking, tea, and sweets, this is literally the perfect shop for me! Huge selection of loose leaf tea, massive variety of both new and old fashioned sweets, as well as an excellent cake decorating section!
