Zorba Sweets

Staying on a sugar rush, Zorba Sweets is a small silver kiosk in the new Liverpool ONE shopping area.
Whilst the selection is much smaller than Sugacane and Quay Confectionary, it’s still a good place to pick up treats before going to see a movie at the nearby Odeon or FACT. Alongside retro sweets like foam mushrooms, toasted tea-​cakes and American hard gums, they stock boiled classics like pear drops, cola cubes, chocolate limes and rhubarb and custard.
For those that have already lost their teeth, there’s popping candy and lots of melt-​in-​your-​mouth chocolate bars!

Zorba sweets is one of my many guilty pleasures that are situated within the wonderful centre of shopping brilliance that is Liverpool One. This place takes pic n mix to a new level and what they provide as a whole is wonderful produce and wonderful service to boot.
My favourite thing about Zorbas is that they provide something for people of all ages not simply children as most of these establishments do.
The staff here are friendly enough and a visit here leaves you with a large sugar rush and an even larger smile on your face.
On the whole a pleasant little establishment which caters for the sweet tooth of the people of Liverpool.

If you’re en-​route to the cinema then Zorba Sweets is a good place to stop off in and get your fill of goodies. Although small you can grab your pick ‘n’ mix, pay, and exit swiftly as wandering around in here perusing aisles is not an option (it’s box-​like).
Zorba reminds me a bit of the fabulous Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I love the mints from here and strawberries, not to mention flying saucers and the classic cola-​bottles. Heaving a huge bag along with me I often pay sheepishly wandering how many fillings I’m going to require in the future.
Prices are less expensive than the cinema pick ‘n’ mix so make sure you stop off here.
Hooray for Zorba.

Zorba Sweets is a fancy little candy kiosk positioned in paradise Street.
The shop doesn’t fit in many people but it does offer a good variety of sweets such as chocolates, boiled sweets and assorted jellies.
It is very colourful in appearance and has all the qualities to drag a child in! There is one member of staff at the till to keep an eye out for those naughty ones trying to sneak a toffee or two in their mouths so I wouldn’t advise!
Sweets are quite reasonable in price compared to pick ‘n’ mix shops in touristy areas like the Albert Dock and the popular Odeon Cinema, so my best advice is to come here instead and bag yourself a treat.

I could make a Zorba the Greek joke here. Something about Zorba the Sweet maybe? Plate smashing — smashing sweets, there’s got to be something in that. No? Okay.
Zorba Sweets sells almost every conceivable form of pick and mix, just pick your lovely paper bag and use the tongs or scoops provided (only sickos use their fingers) and shovel away — cherry lips, flying saucers, fudge, liquorice allsorts, wine gums, chocolate fudge, foam lips, orange fudge; I could list them all day. I shouldn’t? Okay.
Its loads cheaper than the pick and mix at the cinema so stock up here if you’re planning a visit to the nearby Odeon. They also sell canned and bottled of soft drinks but these are more difficult to sneak in your jacket pocket, unless you buy a huge overcoat but that might be expensive which defeats the point of buying your sweets here in the first place.
So just pile in a load of your favourite sweets; jelly beans, space pencils. Oh right, the lists thing again. Sorry. Well let’s just say they have more choice than you can shake a bouzouki at! A bouzouki; it’s a Greek musical instrument, isn’t it? Oh right, we’re not doing the Greek thing either.
