Love that these guys are open to the public! This has come in handy when planning parties for family and kids being able to buy lollies and treats, in bulk and in the one place.

Big fan of Bibina and the international and bulk goods on offer. If you know what you are looking for then there are certainly some good bulk buy bargains to be had. Most of the staff I find friendly though they can be a bit rushed when there are alot of customers.

Shop is a little hard to get to in an awkward location but the gentleman who usually serves me is pleasant and makes good suggestions. I can't honestly say that I find the products on offer appealing myself but they generally seem to go down well at parties etc.

When Cupcake Espresso first opened it felt like the most exciting thing to happen around the corner from my office in Newcastle! It's been a while since they moved and I recently had another cupcake and it's so sad to say they just aren't the same as they used to be! Lovely presentation, great range of flavours but wow the toppings are so tooth achingly sweet!
