My daughter and I are huge fans of this shop, and always make sure we visit once (or, more honestly, a few times) a week for our jelly bean or fudge fix! As well as the classics, they also stock some delicious Cornish chocolate. Such a lovely variety, if you're in Helston you have to drop on by.

Very nice old school sweet shop selling all kinds of lovely treats for those of us with a sweet tooth. I always bribe my nieces with a trip here if they behave themselves, and it works! Nice place to pick up those old favourites that the local corner shop doesn't stock when you're feeling nostalgic.

The Cornish Candy Shoppe in Meneage Street, Helston sells all manner of traditional confectionery. Here you can buy as much vanilla fudge and as many jelly beans as you can handle, as well as traditional hard sweets from the jar. Their sweets will make older shoppers nostalgic for their youth and youngsters even more reluctant to grow up!
I really like this shop, there is a huge selection of sweets and some take me back to my childhood! Plenty for everybody to choose from. i really like the way they weigh out your choice of sweeties and love the huge display of gourmet jelly beans!!!
The shop has recently been taken over by new owners. Theyve given the place a bit of a makeover but they still stock the same huge variety of sweets, chocolate, fudge etc. Not a good place to go if youre indecisive though, it can take a while to choose what you want as theres so many yummy things on offer!
ReportTwas me that took over the business in April, gone to great efforts to brighten the place up without changing the unique and very special shop :) We have new stock as well as stocking all the old favourites, Helstons Oldest and Biggest and Best sweetshop :)
