    I've been going to this place for the past few weeks now. dunno when it opened..

    It's a stall in the georges st arcade, and hes got a load of old skool sweets, and sweets in jars you buy in weights, lovely. eating some cough drops as we speak.

    He's a sound bloke running it and will try to order in any old sweets you might be looking for.

    Check it out.

    I discovered this the other day with a friend! Bought my Boyfriend some of his favourite sweets from years ago.

    The guy who works there randomly gave us some free sweets to try which was awesome. :)

    I will definitely be going back to get some more chocolate etc... :D

    I love The Sweet Life! Only discovered this place a few weeks ago, all the sweets are in jars and it's so nostalgic. Got a big bag of sweets, I'm going to have no teeth left!

    There is a newish sweet shop in cabinteely village opposite the horse & hound pub on the road joining the N11. Think it is called la creme bon or bonne. They also do milkshakes and coffee.

    My local town has come a long way. I remember the smelly Hardy's shop on the corner as a kid where you could still get the quarter of sweets. They have set up a milkshake & sweet shop in Aungier st called Mooz. Every sweet can be turned into a hot or cold shake. Scrumplitious :) is it the same thing with Sweet Life?

    No, The Sweet Life is definitely old school with just the quarters of sweets and the childhood favourites like Wham,Kalipso,popping candy etc. Definitely worth a look, I was impressed.
