Every experience I’ve had with Bains Retro Sweets has been wonderful. The owners are incredibly kind and generous and also very knowledgable about the sweets they sell. Walking into the shop feels like going back in time and it’s just so nostalgic and homey. Wish all sweet shops were like this! The owners have also been incredibly kind in supporting the charity I work with. Thank you so much again for your donation, it’s so appreciated and I’ll certainly be bringing my mum back for more sweeties the next time she visits. Wish you guys all the best for the future as you’re a wonderful business and a true hidden gem in...

Fantastic little shop with so many amazing sweets. Having read other reviews I don’t know if we caught the owner on a bad day as he was a little rude asking why we’d left it until 4.50 to visit and making us feel like we were too much trouble. His wife? On the other hand rectified how he made us feel she was kind and welcoming. If we’d know they were there we probably would have visited earlier in the day but we’d only just arrived in Edinburgh and walked by and saw the shop. Still a fab little place and definitely...

My husband and I stayed in the hotel next to this wonderful sweet shop and we were absolutely delighted to see all of the different types of candles available.

Absolutely loved my visit to Bains, not your usual retro sweet shop. John, the owner, is super friendly and walked me through some gifts options to take home. He was also very kind to let me try a few samples including a sour ploom, which was an experience in itself. Highly recommend visiting here and chatting to John when in the city. I'll be back next time 😁 Thanks John

Loved it, was looking for some snacks to bring back home as a gift with my girlfriend In the meanwhile the lovely and charming owner of the store offered us different snacks to try them. As well as showing us his website where we get our orders shipped worldwide. He told us stories about himself (traveling etc) Really loved that experience!!

Fun little shop with LOTS of old style candy treats from your childhood, a few newer sweets and even some locally produced stuff the owner has some samples of their tablet fudge - which was delicious. Prices are good and you can buy some days individually for pennies!
