I’ve frequented this little shop on a number of occasions and all was good… until my most recent visit and all is not so good now. To be fair(I guess) it was early in the morning, just after the shop had opened but never-the-less there is no need for poor customer service. I stood at the counter waiting to be served and the Sales Assistant was otherwise occupied stiring the nuts to ensure that they did not stick to the caramelizing pan, so I waited and waited and there was not even a flicker of acknowledgment, eventually I enquired as to the cost of a small bag of nuts, more to get her attention then a genuine question, her response blew me away…“can you not see I’m busy… you’ll have to wait!!!”, needless to say I didn’t…and I’ve never returned to either to their shops…

Something nutty is going on in this place. I just can’t put my finger on it. That is until I get my hands on some rather addictive and tasty nuts in little cellophane bags. It’s fun watching the lady behind the counter roasting and carmelizing the nuts right in front of your very eyes. Cashews, macadamias, walnuts, peanuts, and almonds all getting their sweet, sweet sugar on! You can get little bags in 500g and 100g and upwards in boxes. They also have giftpacks and nougat if you fancy something a little different. The 500g costs around $ 5-$ 5:50 depending on which nuts you go for. Just make sure your teeth are insured, ’cause they’re extra crunchy.

Sugar-roasted nuts in tiny cellophane bags to munch on as you wander the QVB. The smell of caramelizing sugar hits you as you head down from Town Hall station towards the upper levels of the QVB itself and turns the air all warm and treacly. They make it in a big copper pan right here, and the smell is just divine. I recommend the almonds, being supposedly good for regulating blood sugar. Ok, not while covered in luscious roasted sugary goodness, but I can pretend it’s health food. And the shop name bad pun comes for free.
